Portable tyre inflator

I’ll buy one of https://m.gearbest.com/other-car-gadgets/pp_3002407498271282.html?wid=2000001 instead.

Made by Xiaomi so you know you are getting good quality and very portable. Have had one of it for about 4 months now and it is pretty great.

Use a footpump its a much simpler solution. I keep mine in the car as often a punctured tyre can be pumped up to get you to a safer place to change it or even home.

Footpumps are not a cheaper solution for me, as they keep breaking.

That says it's for bikes, so probably won't do for a car...

A schrader valve is a schrader valve. Bike tyres are lower volume but far higher pressure than car tyres.

As above, you can use it for car too. Actually, it has a memory function so there are 4 memories for car, bike, caravan & ball. The other advantage is it has a rechargeable battery and you use micro usb cable to charge it.

Except if your car tyre pressure is above 150 psi, then it will do. The link I posted above is for a third party reseller since it is a chinese product. The link on the manufacturer’s website (chinese) is https://item.mi.com/product/9613.html and you can see it is also for cars too.

I've had no problems with footpumps in 50 years. Of course they wear out but if you are breaking them then you are doing something wrong or buying very cheap pumps. An acceptable quality footpump will still be cheaper than most electric versions.


The seals on the electric ones will wear out too you know, as can the motor.
