The Airmoto Tire Inflator

The dust has settled and the First 72 Hours have passed. Follow along as I build a long term plan via Prudent Prepping.

I'm adding a very minimal amount of tools to my motorcycle, not because I don't expect to need them, but because storage space is very limited. What I am adding are bare-bones additions to the factory tool set, like a pressure gauge and the Airmoto Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor/Pump. There appear to be several small inflators that look very similar (and almost certainly from the same factory) so I decided to order through Amazon, because Amazon!

From the Amazon ad:

Quickly inflate your vehicle's tires in just minutes with precision accuracy up to 120 PSI. Small and compact car air pump that fits in your glove box or trunk.
• AUTO SHUT OFF: Use the “+” and “-” control buttons on the Airmoto to easily select your desired pressure, simply connect the air hose to your car and press the middle “Start” button on the electric air pump. Once the correct pressure has been reached the Airmoto will automatically shut off. The cordless car tire pump makes it easy to reach all tires without a hassle.

While the pump is rated to inflate car tires, I am hesitant to really try and inflate a tire from flat to full as it seems a bit small for that. What it did do quite well, however, is add 4lbs of air to my rear tire in approximately 2 minutes. The other test I want to do is see how fast an air mattress is filled, because I want to prevent myself from passing out while blowing into that stupid tiny inlet.

 

As a side note, a benefit to having a modern motorcycle is the fact of having a USB port under my seat, so my flashlight and this inflator could be recharged while I ride.

  

Recap and Takeaway

• This is exactly the right-sized item with the features I wanted for my motorcycle!
• While my motorcycle comes with a plugging kit and CO2 canister, that only gives me one shot to get a tire fixed and on the road. This is a way to get two tires up or maybe help someone else get their tires inflated.
• Purchased: one Airmoto Tire Inflator from Amazon for $79 with Prime.
