Electric pump recommendations?
« on: March 21, 2024, 09:42:39 AM »
Hi,

Thinking of getting an eletric pump to carry in the car for MTB outings. I was wondering if the Xiaomi S2 (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805884734731.html) the still recommended option? I also saw ZTTO makes one (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806271607618.html), but can't find much about it.

Thanks in advance for tips!

For my road bikes I have this - XCADEY Capsule 1 Mini https://a.co/d/1yEgJ6S

Fits in the smallest of bags and inflates 28c tires to 75-80 psi from flat. After that it still has some juice left. I'm guessing it should be able to inflate your big mtb tires to reasonable number. Xcadey is somewhat expensive, more premium brand than usual suspects on Aliex but it's worth it.
 
From the two you listed, I feel the Xiaomi one is too big for bikes and that Ztto one may be a better option.

Thanks! Size isn't my concern - it won't come with me on the bike, but stay in the car. I'm looking for the fastest inflation, really. I read about the Fumpa pump being very fast, but it's beyond what I what to spend ($150).

If you're just going to leave it in your car, you should get one of those pumps that also works on your car tires. You can set the PSI and for bike tires, it should be quick.

Yeah just get the larger one of the two. Can't beat physics. Solely going by the brand, Xiaomi is a better choice. I have a pump permanently kept in the car that runs on car's battery. Pretty small but powerful. I think those will work on bike valves with the right attachments and be the fastest as compared to any portable battery operated pump.
