The cost per transponder is $30, they should last several years as long as you don't get it damaged. If damaged, it’s as easy as purchasing a new one and replacing it.

Transponders should be mounted on the underside of the helmet visor. Transponder needs to be at least an inch away from the rider's body. Helmets with carbon fiber or metallic paint may cause interference.
