# Smart Cycling Tubes Tubolito's Smart Inner Tubes Can Be Scanned with NFC-Enabled Devices By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-05-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycling-tube References: [nfcw](https://www.nfcw.com/nfc-world/smart-inner-tube-lets-cyclists-measure-tyre-pressure-via-nfc/) & [tubolito](https://www.tubolito.com/) Tubolito is bringing cycling tubes into a new generation with smart technology that lets cyclists measure the pressure of tires using NFC-enabled devices. Once a bicycle has been fitted with the company's smart inner tubes, they are capable of accurately measuring tire pressure by scanning the embedded NFC chip located near the valve. The battery-free pressure sensor is incorporated straight into the Tubo-MTB PSENS tube and it gives riders the freedom to measure pressure in bar and PSI with an app on the go, and without the need for other equipment. According to the company, this is "the first smart bicycle tube in the world" and the chip only weighs a few grams, and since it's located within the tube, it is safe from small stones and other materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Cycling Technology:** The incorporation of smart technology in cycling equipment presents opportunities for improved performance, safety, and convenience. - **Internet of Things (iot) in Sports:** The use of IoT in sports equipment is disrupting traditional products and processes, creating new opportunities for innovation. - **Battery-free Sensor Technology:** The development of battery-free sensors presents opportunities for sustainable and cost-effective solutions in various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of sports equipment can incorporate smart technology and IoT to create innovative products that offer enhanced performance and user experience. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can utilize battery-free sensor technology to create sustainable and efficient products that offer improved functionality and convenience. - **Transportation and Logistics:** The use of IoT technology can offer opportunities for improved efficiency and safety in the transportation and logistics industry through real-time monitoring and data analytics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Inspired Airless Tires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metl-tire.md) - [Real-Time Tire Pressure Adjusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scope-atmoz-system.md) - [Smart Inflation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x8-apex.md) - [Sensor Battery Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysensor.md) - [Miniaturized Cycling Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniaturized-cycling-multitool.md) - [Intelligent Cycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-cycling-system.md) - [Award-Winning Smart Tire Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-tire-sensor.md) - [Airless Bicycle Tires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airless-bicycle-tires.md) - [AI-Enhanced Smart Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aienhanced-smart-bikes.md)
