I've been asked "are you sending them back or offering to buy?" I'm keeping all three for a short while because there are other tests to do and another video to make, comparing at least one against a Chinese version which won a Eurobike 2023 Award. I offered to return them but was told they'll be scrapped, they can't be re-used. So once I've finished with reviews and videos I'll run a giveaway among channel members. They already support my channel, giveaways are not part of the deal, so I'm not receiving a benefit in kind.

I bought an electric pump from Amazon, £27.00. Probably the size of the biggest Fumpa tbh. It charges from empty to full in 90 mins. I pumped up 6 x 700c x45mm gravel tyres, to 45psi, 2x 29 ers 2.6" to 40 psi and 2 road tyres to 90 psi and still had approximately 25% battery left. Its a bit big, but fairly light, fits easily into a top tube bag, and you can set the psi and press start, and it stops at desired psi. I agree with you, re carrying a hand pump too, but for speed and ease, its a no brainer 👍

Up until Fumpa stopped distributing in the Canadian market, the Fumpa was a very popular item that customers would buy often in my shop. The reason why a Fumpa is what I ride with is because I run a tubeless wheelset. I dare you to try and use a hand pump to re seat a tubeless tire if it has gone flat and become unseated. C02 is often not what you want with a tubeless set up either, most of the time you add too much air too quickly and simply watch all your sealant scream out of you tire without sealing up the puncture. The Fumpa offers you constant air pressure at a lower pressure, ideal for a tubeless set up. I love my Fumpa and wish they would rethink distributing their products into the Canadian market, I know I would sell them again in my shop. Great video as usual, I really enjoy your channel. Thank you.

Definitely look great for triathlon race mornings - taking a track pump to a transition is total PITA and, depending on the race, nowhere to store after use unless you're happy to leave it at the side and hope it's not lifted by someone. (For those who don't know - big races like Ironmans, the bike is racked the day before. Latex tubes (most efficient set up, and I'm not spending £2-3k on tubeless tri aero wheels) leak down over the course of a day / night and need to be topped up on race morning)

As others say, good review. Changes my view. Thank you. And Fumpa!

Thank you good info 👍. Got a mini and used for Unbound, stored in a frame bag with some dyna plugs 40mm tyres punctured front and rear during the day great little piece of kit

Another great review. Almost got me thinking of buying one of the larger ones to keep in the car. One thing I’d be interested in knowing is how much charge it still has if you put it away for a month and then pull it out to inflate a tyre … i find some devices leak power and so when you need them the most, you find the battery has slowly gone flat and they’re useless.

I’ve used the large one for years. Great for checking pressure b4 leaving home every ride. Also very handy when on multi-day (supported) tours or abroad so I don’t have to pack my big Track Pump. I never carry one on an actual ride. I prefer the iPump Twist on the light Road Bike and the iPump Floor in my Winter Bike which always has the Tailfin on the back.

Great view apart from the CO2 comment. CO2 has zero impact on the climate but plants love it, its plant food!

I have had the full size fumpa for a while. I don’t generally carry it on rides, and actually I don’t really use it much at all day to day. But for traveling, I think it’s an incredibly handy device. Word of caution however. If you don’t use one of the extension options, the valve stem will get VERY hot when inflating. If you use TPU tubes, it’s plenty hot enough to deform the stem completely (learned that the hard way). Even for regular metal stems, I worry it’s hot enough to damage seals on a removable valve core. For this reason, I use the small elbow extension. I will also say, on mine the pressure gauge started giving nonsense readings. I sent it back to Fumpa for repair. Turned out a module on the internal board came loose. They fixed for free, and only charged a small fee for return shipping. Perhaps a fluke. I’m hoping the thing will be more robust going forward. But now I will be traveling with a small travel size pump as a backup.

So many options and not just electric portable inflators like these. An out and back ride for an hour or so, nano, co2, mini pump and a tube. Mixed terrain of longer distance then a decent pump, spare tube and a patch kit. A multi day adventure, decent pump, 2 tubes and a patch kit. I like to keep it simple.

Wow is amazing🙌

I've used a Ryobi electric pump for years. It runs on the same batteries as my cordless drill. I had to add a presta adapter as it was made for Schrader only. It's worked well for home or to bring along in the car when traveling. However it's far too heavy and bulky to carry on the bike.

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing 👍

Buen recorrido 🤙

Buenísimo esto

I have a similar pump to the large version and use it as my everyday pump. I use it to charge my boost cylinder for seating tubeless tires. And there is my problem with the smaller portable pumps. They are fine for top ups, but they won't reseat a tubeless tyre. For most people that need would be an extreme rarity, but my Rose RThirty wheels shed the tyres off the bead seat whenever they go flat (it's a PITA) so I'll have to stick with CO2.

Also, for cyclists with arm or shoulder mobility problems who run tubeless, these electric pumps will be better than using co2 as that doesn't mix well with sealant.

Genial!!!

Brilliant video. Cracking thoughtful review. My train of thought went the exact same way as you. Not sure then it became clear how handy they COULD be. Bags for the overnight before an event or in the car when you are away on trips. Nailed it with bad weather and bike leader work. Would be nice to know how long the batteries last in a Scottish winter ride

Interesting . I use the Lezye mini track pump while bikepacking and think it is excellent but would think about the large fumpa pump for the car ect .

Good vid Bro

Excelente 🚴‍♂️👏

Great review.. Worth it if you have a shoulder type injury or disability.. but for me I’ll stick with a normal pump on my bike 😊 as I’d worry these would fail and just end up carrying the two pumps where now I only carry one.. 😊 just my opinion.. Pete

I too, could see no use for them myself but suspect some riders with shoulder, and upper body, issues, might find them very useful.

Sorry, forgot to say, great review Sir.

I have had an earlier model of the full size Fumpa for about 3.5 years - that model came with the short extender hose as standard. I've used it extensively for my time trial wheels for which track pumps are rather awkward to use - so another use-case to consider. I've been very impressed with it, but lately I think the battery has lost some capacity. Maybe I should open it up and see if the battery could be replaced?

30 years ago: long frame pump. Every 5 years add a new and increasingly smaller pump to pump collection. Include added c02 inflators to the mix. And at some point, I've had issues with each of them, lol. If the progression of teck predicts anything, it's that soon I'll be riding with a pump, an inflator, and an electric mini pump. Seriously thought, I can see the usefullness for bike trips with air travel. With battery tech rapidly evolving, I don't think it too hard to anticipate smaller versions with increased battery time. Who knows where it will be in 5 or 10 years.

To be honest it’s just yet another thing to make sure you’ve charged and if you forget to your gubbed! I’m happy to stick with my Lezyne CNC digital drive🎉 track pump doesn’t take up that much room in the car or van and as I have the neo version it looks a work of art in the bike room. I carry the matching Lezyne Pocket drive pro for all my bikes as it fits in the smallest of tool packs and even though I have a busted hand that doesn’t work right I’ve not had a problem using either to pump up my tubeless road or gravel tyres. I don’t think I could trust something rechargeable and it defeats the purpose of small to carry both.

Qué bueno 😃😃

I am looking at them to put in a pannier whilst touring.

Buena bicicleteada

Muy bonito

Good review thanks. Would have been useful to mention the recharge times and battery capacities though. For example, if carrying a powerbank to charge other stuff, how long and how many milliamphours to recharge the pumps?

As an eco bore, I am still using a full length frame fit pump and have been moaning about the need to add more CO2 into the atmosphere and litter the countyside with the empty canisters.

Genial

I think fumpa started the small pump craze. They are cheaper options available nowadays. Conclusion: buy one for your friend to carry for the group. Carry the normal pump yourself.

👏👏👏👍

Nice review. As you say, personal circumstances will dictate whether any of these would be useful. Personally, my manual pump is fine and if I’d have to still take it as a back up to a battery pump, then I wouldn’t bother with a battery pump of any sort. Do these charge via USB? How long do they take to charge?

Just bought my first bike today in year's it was something I always done and wanted back on a bike! Now it's all the accessories what I need to go with it, and a good tyre pump is the first thing so just looking to see what is good enough! What it that track pump you had at the end called?

Electric pumps are great for fat tires 🙂👍 try that with a hand pumps. They're good if u have breathing problems or mobility problems. If something can make life easier. What's the problem 🤔

Perhaps they would be useful for flying with a bike and inflating after unpacking, eg the proverbial week in Majorca, Costa Blanca or Canaries. I've found that you can fly with a couple of Co2 cartridges (Jet2) but it's a bit hit and miss, you've used up your cartridges and have to seek more for your rides, and there are the environmental issues. The medium or large would be great and easier to fit in a bike box or luggage than a trackpump.

I had one of the Fumpa pumps but I found it to be really noisy so sold it on.

I'm very tempted by one of these, think it would be a good addition to my rucksack but wouldn't totally get rid of my pump. Which one should I chose though?!

would have liked to see the pump versus a bigger tyre like a 29er 2.4 mtb tyre for example.

For me the manual pump always wins as it is comparatively cheap, requires no charging, and will inflate as many tires in one go as your arms can cope with. I do see the luxury of carrying an electric pump but for me cycling is all about getting the exercise so it seems silly to shy away from a bit of pumping by hand on those rare occasions it is required.

How does it work when cold

TORM!

So, did you offer to buy any of them or did you send them back?

How much CO2 is released in the course of manufacturing and charging these electrical pumps? Comparing that to the equivalent number of CO2 cannisters would be interesting, if you care about such things. For that matter, how much extra CO2 would you, the pumper, emit if you used any sort of hand-powered pump?

Don't ask me why but one of the girls in our club doesn't like using track pumps (too technical?) so she's been using an electric pump for some time.

I think they’re promising. They need to be smaller and have better battery

Off the same shelf as inflatable sleeping mats.

Dad, do we change our bike recently?

Try growing vegetation without CO2 but I don't think those we gas pumps are good environmentally - The whole thing is absolute shash. People throwing the wee gas bottles to the verge! I use Pumps to inflate my kayak & packraft and a smaller pump for camping gear, they cost far less and give me 5 minutes rest. That Thumpa pump may be useful for all my needs but price? No thanks, when they come down in price probably. I wonder what knock offs Temu has?
