Bicyclists feel a lot of pressure while riding, especially in traffic. But that doesn’t mean that riders can feel the pressure in their tires. Not having the right pressure in the tires can result in flats, and many riders simply fail to forget to pay attention to their tires – at least until something goes wrong.
However, there is new technology that can provide real-time tire pressure data directly to the rider’s smartphone. The BTPS Bike Tire Pressure System uses a shockproof unit that consists of a sensor, circuit board and battery. It sends data to a rider’s smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0 or ANT+ wireless protocols. This allows riders to monitor the air in their tires without even getting their hands dirty.
