Got this in yesterday.hopefully I won't need to use it. It's very small and compact runs off the battery tender leads.

I have been using the Xiaomi battery operated compressor for 2 years. Since this year there is a new version:

I have this one and I quite like it!

It's done all four of my FJ Cruiser tires, and the GTS a few times, on one charge.

We started carrying the Airman right before the last Cannonball. It is very easy to use, and good for bikes and cars.

I've had the Stop & Go inflator and plug kit since at least 2015. 1st time I used it was at Amerivespa in Indy - to help out a fellow MVer from Atlanta who had ridden up.

I've used it numerous times since and always gets the job done. It's the primary reason I have a 12v plug on the left knee pad.

A word of warning though...never use this type of inflator without starting the scooter. It will drain a battery down past the point of starting your bike pretty quickly.

I have their tire plug kit I've use it a few time but I was alway home so I would use my regular air compressor. Now that I ride to work I want to be more prepared

Primitive, but no worries about battery and who doesn't like a little exercise? I've used the "Topeak Road Morph G Mini Pump" twice to get on the road again. For patching, I've used the "Stop & Go 1020" strips. The former, while a little long, stores well in a lot of places.

For at home use, I have the "VacLife Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor"--which make topoffs and checking pretty easy. A little too large to take out with me.

I got one of these on Amazon for $30. I've so far used it on my Vespa, my bicycle, and my GF's car. 3 different PSI situations and it handles them well. Rechargable and a built in flashlight.

Back when I had had delusions of being one of those super cool ADV guys who have to air down their tires offroad, I got a spiffy MotoPumps compact pump. It was back when they first started making them and they were offering a discount on ADVRider.com. Only pulls 7.5A and runs off of an SAE plug.

I have one of these that I carry on whatever bike I'm riding, if it has tubeless tires. Tube type tires require a tow truck.

I have a couple of these, one to keep in the house, and one to carry in whichever car I'm driving. They will air up everything from a bicycle tire to a large truck tire.
