I will be experimenting with these on Sidecar and Trike.
Please keep us posted. It is nice to have assurance of correct pressure, and reasonable temperatures. 👍
I have a kit from amazon that was discontinued. The good part is the little solar panel that keeps the the display charged. It is not accurate, but repeatable. Would be nice to have something accurate.

A pre set micro pump would make more sense.
Built into a cast wheel?
The ideas that wander through my head some days.
Still the years about done.
Will you balance the 3 wheels once installed or they are so light that you won’t need it?
I bought a kit called Sykik rider for trikes and 3 wheelers that came with 3 sensors and reciever unit. Used it through summer and fall and have been happy with it. I will find out when riding season returns to Massachusetts if I need to replace the batteries in the sensors to start off the year. Bikes are all at the back of the garage for several weeks here now.
I doubt it would be an issue They are 7.6g. They come with stems many stocks one are no strong enough for an add on's to them

I was interested in knowing this as well when my cheap kit showed up, as the caps felt "significant enough" in the hand.
As a test I tried balance with and without for the Amazon Special Caps installed. While the balancer picked up the difference, it was less than the 1/4 oz weight size (smallest I had). On the front I ended up splitting the weight into two groups with a total weight slightly greater than the amount required to achieve balance. then clocked them such that the spread balanced the wheel correctly, and took account of the pressure sensor cap. Seriously doubt it would have been noticeable. I didn't do that on the rear, but it seemed to balance out well with the weights in one spot on the rim. My experience is the rear balance is much less noticeable, than front. But this could be my fat arse, versus skinny hands. lol
Front wheel assembly: Green circle is lightest point on assembly. Weights installed where green arrows are located.

I have been known to follow different paths. On my Trike The rear wheels were drilled to t except Standard and TPMS stems. So I have both installed.
Before HD put a screw to it you could once in Trike mode enter HD sensors in the BCM and all 3 would read out. HD put a stop to that.
That is why I am playing with FOBO. Will not need T as I already have a second Stem.
I do want to use FOBO on the sidecar Rig also.
The FOBO 2 units are cheaper than purchasing HD TPMS sensors. They also do more.

Is this the system that can give you an audible alert when your phone is paired to your headset? One of the better systems (than what i purchased) had that ability, and I thought it was pretty cool. 👍

Been running the Fobo2 set on my sidecar rig for a year or so. I'm happy with them and have no complaints.
