Electric Tire Pump - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

08-31-2004, 01:42 PM

Looking for an electric pump with built-in pressure gauge that runs off of
110 volt AC. Wouldn't think this is such a tough thing to find, but still
can't find one at a decent price (less than $25).

Lots of them run off 9 volt DC from a car, but that's not what I want.

Any tips?

Personally, I like, and have, a rechargeable pump. It doesn't have to be
plugged in except to recharge it. Can by one for about $30 at Target or
Wal-mart.

Maybe you can't find one because a regular floor pump is cheaper, more
mobile and possibly easier to use. I have a pump like the one you're
looking for. I bought it at Sears many years ago (they no longer carry it).
To do it again, I would just buy a good floor pump.

By the way, cars are 12 volts, but it doesn't really matter. I wouldn't buy
one of these because it takes an eternity to fill a car or even a bicycle
tire.

Thanks. I saw a rechargeable pump at Lowe's for $37, but reading the manual
made it seem like it was a slight pain to maintain the charge and
non-replaceable battery properly, saying you have to charge for at least 15
hours but no more than 24 hours. Maybe I'll get one of them if I can't find
something that plugs into the wall.
