Air Pump

Forget about putting GOO in your tyres for that lumpy feeling when you get a flat tyre or even having to taxi around everywhere just to put some air in - this new pump only weighs 300 grams, fits in the palm of your hand (or your flightbag) as it is only 158mm long x 64mm wide x 53mm high and you can easily pump up your tyre in seconds by simply pulling the lead a few times like a lawn mower - goes to 80psi

How to use:

The Air Pump is designed to be easy to use for anybody. You use them from a standing position so that you do not have to bend over to pump your tyres, and the long pulling action is much lighter work than trying to push air through a conventional pump; because the pull-cord is so long, Air Pump puts more air per stroke into your tyres than any mini-pump on the market, and is the world's fastest mini–pump!

Here's how to use it (Note: for clarity pictures show a bycycle rather then an aircraft):

1. Remove the hose from it's storage channel and connect the nozzle to the valve of your aircraft tyre, placing the pump on the ground beside your tyre.

2. Find the locking lever on the nozzle and twist it 90° to the right. You will feel the nozzle clamping onto your valve, so that air cannot escape and the nozzle cannot be blown off the valve.

3. Put your foot on top of the Air Pump to hold it firmly in place on the ground. Grab the handle located at the top-left of the pump, and stand up straight. Now you are ready to begin pumping!

4. Pull the handle repeatedly to inflate your tyres!

How does it work:

Every time you pull Cyclaire's handle, the pull-cord unwinds inside and drives a pulley mechanism. The pulley is attached to a double-ended piston, so that the piston moves backwards and forwards inside the cylinder while the pulley is turning. This is how the Cyclaire Bicycle Pump pushes so much air into the tyres; the further you pull the handle, the more times the pulley turns and the more air the piston pushes into the tyres.

The image above is a diagram of what's happening inside the pump's cylinder. You can see how the piston changes direction, feeding air into the hose. Imagine the piston moving much faster than shown on this diagram - that's a lot of air! This is how Cyclaire pumps more air per stroke than any mini-pump, and inflates your tyres to high pressures more easily.

The Air Pump inflates to 80psi so it's ideal for many applications.
