AirVot™

Low tyres and sudden flats are the problem AirVot™ sets out to address. According to the maker, this pocketable pump reaches up to 120PSI, a figure it says is sufficient for car tyres, while keeping a body small enough to carry in a bag for commuting, cycling, travel or camping.

Four functions in one device

• Automatic pressure detection: connect the hose and, the maker says, the pump reads the current pressure and shows it on the display, helping to avoid overinflation.
• One-button operation: start, inflate and stop from a single button, with four modes (bicycle, motorbike, car and ball) selectable through a digital interface.
• 120PSI high-pressure output in a compact cylindrical body.
• Built-in LED light to illuminate the valve area at night, which the maker says can also serve as an emergency signal light.

AirGo also lists overheat protection and circuit protection, intended to guard against motor overheating during extended use and faults caused by unstable voltage. The company positions this as relevant for anyone planning continuous use or keeping the pump in a car.

Design and accessories

The pump uses a minimal, black cylindrical design meant to look at home in a garage as much as on a desk. It charges via USB-C, which the maker describes as supporting fast charging. Multiple nozzles are included, and the campaign lists compatibility with road bikes, mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, basketballs and inflatable rings.

The Kickstarter project reportedly drew support well beyond its funding goal. AirGo has suggested room for future accessories and app integration, though no specifics are given.
