Even if it works, which it probably will, I have to say a solid NO to any more battery powered biking devices. You can throw a CO2 cartridge in your bike pouch for 20-30 years and you will likely never need to worry if it will get you out of a jam. However, with electronics, you likely will have to worry about batteries holding a charge (or ceramic capacitors failing over time...especially in a high vibration environment). I always take a manual pump and a couple CO2 cartridges on the trail. The manual pump it my PRIMARY source of air pressure because it will almost never fail when asked. However, I will always attempt the CO2 before the manual pump to save some time. I once had to (essentially) carry my bike 20 miles due to a lack of redundancy. Even if you choose batteries or CO2, I'd always suggest carrying a manual pump as well. I'd say redundancy is key...especially if you you ride alone. I don't like to rely on anybody else, so I go with what will almost be guaranteed to work over a long period of time...then I keep two of them.
If you run tubeless tires, it's an absolute must to carry CO2 because try reseating a tire out on the trail with anything else. I always carry a 2-3 cartridges and a manual pump. Could see carrying this in addition but can't really see it substituting for anything I already carry.
As I am planning for Ragbrai, this review is perfect timing. As I can not fly with my CO2 cartridge I was thinking of checking out this pump...but only 4 - 5 pumps will be a deal breaker. As mentioned in another comment...less tech could be the goal.
I have the Xiaomi pump, goes very fast to 120psi(under 1min), when I want to seat a tire. It’s not as tiny though but it’s very fast - I was able to get a tubeless tire on the rim just with that pump and soap on the wheel.
Fumpa can do 60 PSI no problem. For home use I use Makita DMP18. I've not tried higher pressures. as 40-60 is usually what's needed to seat a mtb tyre.
This is useless, Fumpa is in another league. I won't be surprised if this product flops on the market. How can they compete when there's a superior product out on the market already.

a better alternative to those who go all over the world to ride, it would be allowed on planes which co2 cartridge are banned
Does it work on motorcycles tire?
Useful if you like triangulating your pressure bit by bit.
3:33 One minute twenty two seconds is NOT hundred and twenty seconds.
That is not 120s..... that is 80/90s...
Electric pumps do well up till 25psi, then there almost useless. I have a mini pump that less expensive and does the same.
