Hey NOW!
I just discovered they also offer an internal system.
BUT - I can not find any information on their site regarding differences or which is most accurate.
I likey the internal, outta sight aspect and if I can find more information, I may do a switch next tire change(s).
@thorin...looks very similar to the one I use, FoboBike which @1olbull turned me onto. Yours is a little cheaper tho. The value to me is it makes it easier and quicker to check the air before a ride which I might not do each ride if I didn't have it. (I know...thats stupid, dangerous and lazy). Thanks for sharing.
I think that’s what attracted me to this equipment. There’s been many times I knew I should’ve checked the tire pressure but didn’t.
I also think it would be interesting to see internal air temperatures and how they react to different riding conditions.

The temperature reading are indeed very interesting!
I was surprised at how much it changed in over 100° temps versus 80° to 90° temps.
It climbed high enough that I have actually let air out!
I got one of these 6 mths ago use it on all my vehicles on the same day with cold tyres does 4 bikes and 3 cars once every 2 weeks or so and only need to charge it maybe every 2 months.

I have a Garmin Zumo 395. I also got the tire pressure sensors that work with it to tell me the tire pressure. I check it before a ride and while riding. I check at least once a week to see if I need air.
Regarding the accuracy of the digital device versus a regular air gauge, I have an Accu-Gage EZ - Air Tire Gauge by G. H. Meiser. I have used one for years, and just replaced it because the pin which depresses the valve stem broke off. There is about a 2.5 psi difference between the Zumo reading and the Accu-Gage reading, with the Accu-Gage being the higher of the two. At the moment, I am believing the Zumo reading over the Accu-Gage because the Accu-Gage reading has the possibility of under inflating the tires.
Which one should I believe? Just split the difference?
They call it a air hawk pro made in New Zealand, little expensive but it is just a pump battery operated doesn't weigh as much as a drill, can have corded or battery I just screw the tip on to the valve and it udjusts air pressures to the digital setting on the rear.

Wow. Guess i'm not with it. Still like to check the tire pressure weekly and if out on the road the bike starts to act a little funny suspension wise we check the tires. Someday may get there with the gadgets but in no big hurry.
Yea but I got one $ell of a great running bike. Just got back from a test ride love it. Can tell the difference in suspension. Clutch is a bit stiffer but grabs. Very happy camper now if i only had some good brakes. (NEXT WEEK)
