It amazes me how often especially when we are touring that it comes in handy, I’ve helped so many people on our travels. Puncture repair kit is another thing I can’t believe people do not carry, and often they don’t know how to plug a tyre either 🤷♂️
@@johnterry804 Yes absolutely 💯 I will always stop and at least see if I can help, it’s what us bikers do for each other and we must never let that stop. I’ve even helped a car or two when there’s a obvious puncture at the side of the road because I tend to keep a plug kit, foam can and pump on my bike always. However these Africa twins are tubed so not so easy anymore!
I won’t use compressors off the bike now, it can blow a fuse and cause more problems, like you say the power bank always being present can also get you out of trouble and these things hold there charge for sooo long!
I have a a fair bit of room under the seat of my VStrom. I carry a tubeless repair kit and a pump I can plug into the 12v socket. But that looks like a really useful little pump, and.... Christmas is coming. 😉
I found from experience that the 12v plug in pumps can often blow fuses on the bike, swapping one problem for another! Ever since I use this type, it’s always extra power sat waiting too incase the phone should run out of battery or something
You can buy valve adaptors that screw into the end of the pumps tube with the same end as an ordinary foot pump. This makes it much easier to attach and remove without losing any air.
Like a push bike pump you mean? Well for me I’m lazy, so it’s the work smart not hard method! I also love having a power bank with me at all times. Anything that can eliminate potential problems is a good thing when touring. Always prepared 👍
@@ontheroadadventure you can buy it in the netherlands….i use it for my car and motorcycle…its works quickly . Iam satisfed with it. You can not say it is the tyre pump you need….only if you have tried them all.
What's a point of that ?I have normal much smaller and lighter compressor with plugs to my cigarette socket no need for charging smaller lighter and cheaper this just trying to reinvent wheel ! Useless product !small compressor you can buy for as little as 10 pounds
Well for us there’s a few reasons why we carry these style at all times. Unfortunately, particularly the cheap plug in compressors are known to draw to much power and can cause you problems with fuses etc especially on newer bikes, it can put a drain on the battery also, but also we like the fact that we know we have an additional power source to get us out of trouble that does not rely on the bike. When long distance travelling power banks are a god send!
@@ontheroadadventure is up to you offcourse what you use and what you promote! I just shared my opinion that's a beauty about youtube if ppl posting useless advice everybody can say what they really think !! I just don't see a point of using neither buying this product , what you said about burring fused is in my experience not true never heard about it in my 20 years motorcycling !maybe there is problem with your motorcycle if fuse is buring or perhaps to many things connected at once draining your battery! simple prevention is you start your engine first then your compressor thats like basics ,anyways I don't like that product nothing against your channel or you personally just maybe worth saying why I don't like so here is why Large size Price Weight heavy !! Battery Your argument touch is in my phone Power bank I have power bank for that much smaller and cheaper so I just don't see point of that product also I don't like bateries prefer powered it from my bike what if you forget charge it ?so many things to charge this days sorry I don't like this product !
Very useful to carry I have a similar one 👍

@@ontheroadadventure I know doesn’t it make you feel good when you help someone and the really appreciate it?

Just watched and subscribed and bought this too. Great work Africa Twinz!! 💯💯
Excellent thanks, we really like this pump and power bank combined.
Wow, nice pumpin`
Thanks! 😊
That looks useful!
I know a few of the DHM carry one like this I have done for a long time in my lomo bags, Ewa now has this one
I like the idea of the pump also acting as a power bank, sweet
Personally, I use a Thieye compressor mainly because of it’s small size

Yeah I've just bought a v strom 650 and apparently the fuse is only 3 amp on the 12v socket......can only handle a phone/GPS
You can buy valve adaptors that screw into the end of the pumps tube with the same end as an ordinary foot pump. This makes it much easier to attach and remove without losing any air.
ok that sounds handy we will look them up. You can get Right angle valve adapters too which make it easier to get to the valves
So the pump has no cables other than charging? Ideal 👍
Correct, charge it up, put it in your pannier and forget it until needed 👍
This pump is nearly £80 there are plenty of very similar pumps for half or less of the price.
Buy cheap, buy twice! For me I’d rather pay a little extra for quality
lovehow you gently operate it
Gently Does it ☺️
gently like how you accelerate in curves enjoying the scenery

@@InterimExec Yes we dont go mad on the speed when riding together, especially when touring, why go all that way just to race through?
Love that scene of you i n the alps chaelt in the mrning so romantic....
@@ontheroadadventure
so nice to get your reply live ...
@@ontheroadadventure
Why not use a manual pump like mine
Like a push bike pump you mean? Well for me I’m lazy, so it’s the work smart not hard method! I also love having a power bank with me at all times. Anything that can eliminate potential problems is a good thing when touring. Always prepared 👍
I prefer Bosch easypump
We haven’t seen that one, For what reason?
@@ontheroadadventure you can buy it in the netherlands….i use it for my car and motorcycle…its works quickly . Iam satisfed with it. You can not say it is the tyre pump you need….only if you have tried them all.
As long as you got air when you need it, fixed is fixed 👍
36 psi in the front Tyre !! That would be like driving with a Solid rubber tyre , More like 28 or 29 psi
You are right 36 is a little high
👍🌹
