We broke 34%!
A big "thank you" to everyone who has helped support and share BTPS! With your help we achieved 34% within the first week - but there is still a long way to go and we need all the help we can get to achieve our goal!
We got many very positive and highly motivating feed-back. Thank you for this! That's our fuel and keeps us running!
To date, we got many questions related to the use of BTPS! in tires of motorcycles. Our answer on this is: there is no basic reason why BTPS! wouldn't work on motorcycles, but we need to add a stronger rim tape in order to handle the forces developed by a wheel when rotating at very high rates of speed. We are happy to announce that we will add a new pledge in order to meet this demand.
Finally, some of you have pointed out that they may want a battery life indicator as well as a reading of the actual temperature in the tire. André has started looking into this and he assured that the battery indicator will be implemented. As for the temperature measurement: it is possible but it might affect the overall battery life time. So what we will offer you is to implement the temperature reading and display as a user selectable feature (activation/deactivation of temp reading). Those of you who value a real-time temperature reading superior to longest possible battery life may switch it on, all other may keep it off. Let us know what you think about this.

Yes! Most valuable item to indicate an incipient tire failure is sudden increase in temperature. These two features would be a great benefit to the use of the BTPS.
