Could this pocket-sized electric pump consign mini pumps and CO2 cartridges to history?

The Isola Press books on the Rough Stuff Society and Jobst Brandt were Kickstarter projects. (I'm not necessarily saying that this pump thing is a good idea...)

Rockbros and Cycplus (which I have purchased on Amazon) are both 100PSI and lightweight because they are made of plastic, while Eausair is all metal. Maybe the weight is here. It feels like an upgraded version of them. But if you are very strict about weight, then I think the first two are also good choices.

Obviously you have never used this product. I bought a similar product on Amazon with a lower configuration than this one. It is very convenient to use when riding. This is real time, there are few similar products on Amazon, I discovered it by accident, but it is really useful.

I can't tell if you're a bot or just a really bad and awkward writer who's being paid to pimp this product👍👍

I don't quite accept your statement. It's an unfounded accusation. As a cycling enthusiast, I'm just interested in such products and participating in the discussion. And I am not recommending that you must buy it. I am just stating the fact that I have purchased similar products on Amazon and have used them well so far. As for whether you buy it or not, no one can force you. Everyone has the right to choose.

Wrong on both counts!

Well, some don't think that the effect of advert, fashion, peer pressure and so forth are "forcing" because the little homunculus said to live inside us all is somehow free of all such influences, and full of objective rationality, to enable "correct" chocies to be made. But that's just made-up-stuff. Adverts, fashion and peer pressure all work to cause we consumers to consume stuff that we have no need for in any practical sense. Why do you think such techniques exist?

As to the right to choose .... even if there was a rational homunculus able to do so, if you ain't got the dosh, you can't "choose" all sorts of things, such as a bicycle costing thousands and thousands or even food, in millions of cases within Blighty alone.

And then there's the things we should be able to choose but can't because some git has removed them. A swim in the sea or a river without getting torpedoed by a turd, for example, is very difficult for many unless they travel a hundred miles or more to somewhere free of badly run efluent facilities. Many will try to drive to such a place but this choice will be denied by a loon in a car crashing into them.

And so forth.

Or, to put it another way: WAKE UP*.

" Mind, we may wake from one mad cultural dream only to find ourselves in another. Then another, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. 'Tis the fate of all we poor human-things, infested with the memeplexes of cultural mind-fungi.

Um, how should I put it, I think everyone has their own understanding. I’m not averse to new tech products, and I even love these gadgets.
As for what you said about consumer advertising, isn’t Apple, the best mobile phone in the world, also full of advertisements? This does not affect people's love for it and the fact that Apple's advertising contains fraudulent and false propaganda, etc.
Also, if you think it does not have such technology and is not practical, then I can tell you that it is really too practical for me. I bought a similar model on Amazon in July this year, although it It's not as good as the Eausair, but I believe the customer reviews on Amazon have proven that it does work. I'm using it myself and it really helps me.
So, I think the discussion about consumerism and advertising can end here. Everyone's views are based on their own social practice and cognition, so I respect everyone's views. This does not mean that you are wrong, because everyone's exit is different.

Try changing that "we" to you 🤣

Nah - "we" is very reasonable. 

It would be an interesting exercise to list all of the cycling gubbins things with a marker: "not needed by anyone" vs "not needed by most" vs "needed by a few" vs "universally beneficial". Or summick.

Besides these silly-pumps, what else is universally not-needed by cyclists? I'll add: the handlebar data-collection gizmo (all types).

A front wheel, by those with legs?

In fact, I think the battery capacity is not a big problem, originally cycling needs to be light, but if such a large capacity battery instead of bulky and not conducive to carry. The purpose of this kind of MINI air pump is to deal with the unexpected situation of flat tire, emergency only. I bought one from Amazon that is only 300mAh, but it's enough for emergencies, I used it twice and felt it was just enough to be good.

I've had a mini fumpa since 2019. The manufacturer warns against using the new tubolito style tubes without an adaptor as the pump head might melt the plastic valve but the main body barely gets any hotter and is certainly nowhere near too hot to hold.

The manual pump is really troublesome to use and cumbersome to operate, which wastes time and energy. I bought a MINI air pump similar to this one on Amazon, but that one only has 300mAh, and this one seems to have higher configuration than the one on Amazon. I'm a little excited, but I have already bought one and the experience is quite good. It is not as bad as you said. This is a fact. I've seen the manual model from Dicatron in the supermarket, but I didn't like it very much.

Troublesome…?

No charging, no keeping an eye on the charge level, no worries about wether or not you have enough charge left if you get more flats, no questionable performance in colder temperatures…
You screw the hose on to the valve, and pump up the tire. That's it. Takes about a minute, two minutes tops.

If you call that cumbersome than, well, yeah… I'd advise to envite your bike shop mechanic with you on every ride.

At least I feel like most of the time when I ride I don't want to carry bulky stuff, it puts me off really, maybe everyone doesn't think or feel the same way. I still like the convenience of technology. Similar to how a lot of people like to carry a bulky DSLR camera when they go out on a trip, but I feel like using my phone to take pictures is enough for the main scenario functions as well.

I like the convenience of technology too, it's just that on the one hand I don't think these electric pumps are actually very convenient yet (for the reasons I stated), and on the other the simple pump I have is way more convenient then most (smaller) mini pumps. It's a little bigger, but it's very light and strapped to my bike or in my frame bag, so any never actually experience its 'bulkiness'.

Zefal Number 4 pump, 3.99€

I bought a similar model on Amazon. The configuration is lower than this, but it is enough. I bought it in July. In September, my friend and I were riding in the mountains, and sharp branches directly punctured the tires. It's really terrible. Bad luck. Fortunately, the MINI air pump came in handy the first time I brought it on. Otherwise, encountering a flat tire outdoors would be a real headache.

Don't know if the *puncture* is the problem, or where the tyre went flat *is*.

I ride through a couple of areas of Glasgow that are densely populated with pedestrian, have narrow pavements and a reasonably high Ned content.

A puncture in that area, I'd try to shove a CO2 cannister in there first to get me somewhere a touch safer to deal with the tube replacement.
In more suburban areas, I'd probably use CO2 or an electric pump as I just want to to get rolling again ..
I don't feel particularly safe dealing with punctures in urban areas; I'm a vulnerable solo target with easily stolen expensive kit, diverted attention and just want to get away quicky.
It's not changing the tube that takes time ... its the finding the cause of the puncture in the first place so it doesn't then do the same to the next tube.

I'm more likely to use the mini-pump out in the sticks where I'm not as likely to be in someone's way (or at potential risk from Neds)

A CO2 will inflate a road tyre in a few seconds (or less), an electric pump in around a minute (to 100psi according to the leaflet that came with mine), and a mini-pump takes significantly longer.

For me ... the technology is about personal safety as much as ease.

You clearly don't live in The Netherlands

Although of course, the average person here on a typical Dutch bike is not really likely to buy this thing. Nobody caries a pump here either afterall.

 Schrader, Presta and Dunlop valves,the three-in-one inflatable nozzle basically solves the current mainstream inflator nozzles. I bought a similar one on Amazon, but this one seems to have better configurations.
