Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Electric Air Pump?

Has anyone used this pump? The Bell Multi Purpose Air Pump 06495. Any opinions on this pump?

A friend has one of those little emergency pumps that plug into the 12v outlet on a car. What a POS! Three pumps with my Silca and I’m good to go! I’m done with both tires before she gets the thing plugged in.

FWIW, I think the comparisons for pumping a tire from 0 to 110 are worthless. How many times a year do you pump a tire from zero? For me, it’s 2 maybe 4 times. OTOH, I top off my tires twice a week or more. With the Silca, one pump gets the pump up to pressure and two more are usually all it takes.

I have a 250 psi version by mongoose, the gauge on mine is accurate, it pumps quickly and is easy to use and as an added bonus if you injure your rib cage you can still pump up your tyres.
Murrays a reason to go this way is it cost penuts compared to a floor pump and so far has been totally reliable, about 7 months.
I already had an SLA 12 volt battery I use for it so can use it inside etc.
