Cyclist Air Monitors

The Bike Tire Pressure System Tells You When When to Fill Up

— December 24, 2012 — Tech
The Bike Tire Pressure System (BTPS) is a new device that lets you easily monitor your tires' pressure. BTPS is a Bluetooth device that affixes onto regular bike tires and tube-less bike tires. The device then sends data about your tires' pressure to your smartphone, smartwatch or computer. The battery powering the BTPS can run for 20,000 hours on standby and has 200 hours of operation time.

Those who don't regularly cycle may not understand why you should hawkishly monitor your tire pressure. Like cars, bike tires lose air over time. Also like cars, an under-inflated tire can lead to a decrease in performance. The BTPS aims to eliminate lost performance due to under-inflation by letting you constantly monitor your tires' PSI. The project is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.
Trend Themes
1. Bluetooth Bike Tire Pressure System - A trend towards smart devices that utilizes Bluetooth for easy integration with smartphones, smartwatches or computers to monitor devices.
2. Continuous Tire Pressure Monitoring - A trend towards a more detailed measurement of tire pressure, instead of just occasional checks, that ensures optimal performance.
3. Crowdfunding for Niche Bike Products - A trend towards the use of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter to fund and market niche bike products like the Bike Tire Pressure System (BTPS).
Industry Implications
1. Cycling Industry - The Cycling industry can make use of the Bluetooth Bike Tire Pressure System by integrating it into their product offerings and increasing sales.
2. Technology Industry - The Technology Industry can take advantage of continuous tire pressure monitoring by developing and marketing more advanced tire pressure monitoring devices for bikes and cars.
3. Crowdfunding Platform Industry - The Crowdfunding Platform Industry can see an increase in niche product offerings, specifically in the cycling niche, as more products like the Bike Tire Pressure System are funded and marketed.
