Tire pressure monitoring sensors

I have already had a couple of slow leaks and a flat on my 2013 PCX150.
Question to all of you: Can one add a tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) to the rear of the PCX-150 like on a car ?
It would give me greater reassurance each day, before heading out on a 30 mile journey.

Not an endorsement because I've never used them but I remember seeing this and thinking I'd buy if the price came down

I've used fobobike sensors on two different vehicles, and found this one to work just as well, at about half the price…

A PSI tip - from experience:
If the scooter is rolling with a little extra resistance when you move it out in the dark for a ride.
Stop!
it is not a suddenly dragging brake - one of your tires is seriously under inflated!
I made it about 1/2 mile before nearly dumping the scoot in the first curve.
Had a screw in the rear Michelin!

When I took My bikes out of winter storage a few weeks ago I noticed that mine was now rolling as smoothly as my wife's did. I started my bike and rode it down the street at a slow speed, turned it around slowly and rode it back. Sure enough, it did not feel right, so I checked the tire pressure. The front read 23 psi and the rear was in the teens! I have not found any leaks, but after pumping them up to what their recommended pressures were, the bike was back to its great feel again. I am letting it sit for a week and then will check the pressure again. That should let me know if either tire has a slow leak.
