[pushpush]

There are a 100 different options. Any specific ones that are recommended?

I use the cyclami one I got for like 30$

I havent bought a pocket sized one, but i recently got a Xiaomi generation 2, to use instead of a floor pump. super happy with it. If xiaomi makes a pocket sized one, i guess i'd go with that.
Cost me 35 eur or so, i think.

I bought the Airbank AS1 from AliExpress. It will air up a tire no problem after it has been charged. The problem is it seems to lose it's charge quickly. I tried to use it on a ride and it was dead. It had been charged about a week prior.

I have recently bought the Cyplus from Amazon. It seems to work great but I haven't had it long enough to see how long the charge lasts.

I’m eyeing this thing. Is it genuinely powerful enough to top up car tires as advertised? Then I’d be seriously interested. Otherwise I’m good with floor pumps.

Yes, the xiaomi mijia 2S or whatever can. I did that last month. So handy traveling with just a tiny toolbox. Supposedly it's not the best in its category anymore but I'm happy enough with it

Airbank Anoutway Cycplus Topump and many more are all the same company anyways: https://www.trademarkelite.com/europe/trademark/trademark-owner/Chengdu%20Chendian%20Intelligent%20Technology%20Co.,%20Ltd./1258362
I wouldn't be surprised if they also OEM'd some of the other "brands" pumps. It's otherwise a little strange if one company doing electronic stuff suddenly does compressors at scale for the price points in the market.

EDIT: also it is appearent they are the big OEM, like look at this RockBros:

And this Original unbranded version by them

Got one from this very peculiar named company Offbondage ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). In December 2024 I paid 25 USD (original price was 30 USD), seems like they’ve creeped up the price quite a bit.

I've bought this mini airbank one, pretty light and powerful enough https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006842484015.html

I got this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809477485581.html

Topump TB2 Pro

Haven't needed it out on the road or trail yet, but in my testing at home it works well. The psi reading seems accurate against my floor pump. I've only used it with the little hose attachment (vs directly on the valve) as I have plastic valve TPU tubes on my road bike. But it's also easier to use with the hose.

I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Nice with the display too, super useful unfortunately mine doesn't have it

All the pumps mentioned are from the same company, check their portfolio:

https://cycplus.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-924413207-2/Smart_Bicycle_Pump.html

ALL of those (Aliexpress) pumps are from the same Chengdu company. So it does not make any difference in general which brand you choose, you pick your desired budget/battery size/geometry and can buy Airbank, Anoutway, Topump, Peakspeak, dwndpump, Ridingmark, or Cycplus. And they also OEM for Muc-Off, Rockbros, etc.

I am testing an Anoutway AT1 Pro right now, it has the exact same specs size weight as a 40% more expensive Cycplus Pro pump and the mentioned Topump TB2 Pro (450mAh), only the TOPUMP TB2 Pro seems to be a tid larger in volume (131 vs. 96 from Cyclplus/Anoutway).

About the AT1 Pro:

- So far, it does what it's supposed to do (video coming), but I had trouble when using in conjunction with Schwalbe Clik-Valve adapter - hard to get like >2.5bar when it's starting to leak in the adapter head/hose connection - Only be able to reach 3bar by pressing it with hand tight.
- No issues with Presta valves, quick (time to fill like in the specs, ~1min for 28-6bar test setup, 2 complete full fillings),
- sound is okish - like a drone,
- it's a little bit larger than I hoped for, so it doesn't fit in any in-frame storage.
- Not water resistant (as all of those pumps), so always need to be carried in a bag.

Last group ride one of our riders had this on https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008744192209.html and it was put to use twice.
At first I thought it was a camera light. Not a bad idea TBH.

[alfiomotrambo]

It seems like a good product, I didn't know it, I use this one which costs a little less https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007274254758.html

Using an “Anoutway AT1”, works great with a Clik valve with the screw-in hose, I like it.
