MotoPressor Pocket Pump
The MotoPressor Pocket Pump resembles a MacGyver TV prop but its functional usefulness could certainly help a stranded motorcyclist out of a unfortunate situation.
Weighing a mere 20 ounces, the 12 volt inflator attaches to a motorcycle battery via an 8.8 feet-long SAE fused power cord and a choice of either a direct connect to the battery or alligator clips. The inflator hose is 25 inches long and features a locking delivery valve. Also included is a sports needle for inflating basketballs, etc., and nozzles for air mattresses and the like.
Motopressor claims the Pocket Pump will inflate the front tire of a motorcycle from flat to around 32 psi and the rear to around 28 psi in 2 minutes, and is capable of pumping up to 100 psi. Other uses include replenishing air shocks and/or forks.
The Pocket Pump retails for $49.95 including a neoprene storage bag.
