The Cycplus Cube is a super tiny battery-powered electric bike pump that is compatible with both Shrader and Presta Valves. But the big question is, can it replace C02 Cartridges? Stay tuned as I test if the Cycpus Cube against CO2 in a few tests. Big thank you to Cycplus for sending one of these out to me.

Thanks for the test. I do disagree that you will offset the cost, that would be heavily dependant on how many cartridges you use in a period of time. So dependant on how much you ride and what terrain. I ride very little rocky terrain and haven’t used any cartridges in 4 years, and it’s questionable that a little pump like that, that gets very hot would even last 4 years. It looks like pump tech is advancing quickly though, and I might consider one in a few years.

I hardly ever have a flat thankfully, even in my rocky area. The cost of the Cube is very close to the cost of 15 25-gram cartridges at my local LBS. So I don't think it's that unreasonable of a claim. I think I lose them more often than I use them lol

To be fair they don't have to do the job better than a co2 can, but just do the same job. It's not as fast as co2, clearly. But for any regular user and not in a timed race, it would be perfect. The presta/shrader valve change, is more or less irrelevant too, the co2 doesn't have that anyways? And you don't run 2 different valves on your bike, right? ;) 31psi compared to 47psi... and 20psi vs 25 on the mtb. You could probably fill 2 tires with it, although still not as fast as co2 even with a cartridge swap for second tire. 80$ is not too bad, but that will leave quite a lot customers going for cheaper alternatives. I don't know what the manufacturing cost is for this, but overall maybe better to have a lower margin of profit and have all the customers rather than only selling a thousand units and then everyone else buying a 40$ copy. At 50 i would buy without even thinking about it. At 60 i would clearly buy it. At 70 i would think about how badly i actually need it. At 80 i'm just fine using my trusty double shot pump :) Nice vid, would have been nice to see some time comparisons.

i've used the Cycplus Pro (like this one but w/ a LED display) for a while. i use it for top offs mostly. it's great for that. i do like using the supplied flexible tube as well because my mtn bike's presta valve can get super hot when connected directly to the pump w/out the short tube. for full tire inflations, i use my floor pump. for frequent top offs, this is much better (easier to use and less wasteful) than CO2 cartridges.

Is it 97grams fully charged or not charged?

@wufler28 5 ай бұрын

But can it inflate 2 tyres in 1 charge?

@MTBRadDad 5 ай бұрын

Depends on the tire and what pressure you like to run but I think so

If you feel bad for throwing away 3 co2 cartridges, you should really feel bad for using a lithium battery instead of a handpump. A decent minipump can last you decades, that thing won't. I really don't get it, how many flats are you getting that it's important how much effort it takes? And I'd rather have a minipump that always works in my backpack than another thing that will run out of battery.

Throwing away the co2 catridges is two fold. Its a waste of co2 catridges and its also a waste of money.
