#1 | France Spain Sept 2025 toll tag Q datum

Hi.
Have tour planned this Sept with my brother.
13 days, Ferry to Bilbao then the Simon Weir routes across Spain and back up and along the pyrenees then back up through France to Caen, ferry, then back oop North.
My question is about Fulli toll tags. I know we have to use 'Wise' to pay them
So specifically using them.
1. Where did you place them?
I know it suggests tank bag (I don't use one)
Or on a wrist strap in a pouch?
In a top pocket (don't have one)
Stuck to the bubble (?) On front of bike.. is this the screen?
How did you do it?
2. Did they work all the time?
3 Does this mean you get charged as a motorcycle rather than as a flamin car as usual!

Your knowledge and experiences would be very useful.
Thankyou.

I have had a Fulli tag since 2018.

Earlier this year they decided I needed a new one as my 2018 "tech" was too old. All free and they paid postage to send the old one back.

I have only used the new one in Spain in May & June. I have a zipped pocket on my Rukka jacket sleeve. The old one used to work in this pocket but it seems the new one sulks and did not work at the first barrier on the Madrid bypass, travelling to Salamanca. The barrier gap was big enough to squeeze through so I took a freebie. Lots of alarms but I have yet to be arrested or fined!

One my way back north from Cordoba, I again took some motorway to avoid Madrid and some really bad weather on one day. I moved the tag to my tank bag and it worked fine for the rest of the trip.

Some people swear by a pouch attached to their forearm. My jacket pockets are higher up as they contain zippable dayglo armbands that I never use. I guess if the armband is lower down you can wave your arm about a bit.

One thing I noticed is the new tag is moulded differently. My old one was symmetrical in shape. The new ones have a large protrusion that slides into the stick on carrier and clicks in place. I am not sure I would be happy sticking the thing on the windscreen as it is unlikely to be waterproof and might fall off. Neither of these would be a problem inside a car!

It will be a lot better when they all go free flow with no barriers and read your number plate like Portugal and now some places in France.

Thank you Wessie.
It seems the tags need to be visually read or have I misunderstood? Or do they emit something?

Looks like a pouch on the wrist or buy a tankbag!
I have stayed away from the tank bag as its another thing to carry when stopped and out of sight of the bike. If tankbag is used to carry the tag, they must have cameras above?

Great to have experience on this forum, saves making costly mistakes.. Thank you.

the tags have a battery and RFID transponder. They work in exactly the same was as a keyless fob on a motorcycle. There will be a pole at the toll gate that is pinging away and your device will send a signal back with the RFID code.

The tags do have a barcode label. Apparently, the toll gates have a bar code reader as a back up should there be some sort of problem with the tag such as a flat battery or the péage radio antennae go down
