Airmoto Smart Air Pump Review for Track Days

FWIW (not wishing to take away from your review). I use the Milwaukee 12v Pump as it has batteries that interchange with their other 12v tools so I can use the same battery for impact guns, drills, lamps, soldering irons, dremmels etc. light truck and compact equipment tires.

Now there is a thought. I have several 18v dewalt batteries in the workshop/garage. The dewalt unit is no where near as compact. But battery should last much longer and will be more powerful.

Seems like there are two approaches to the air compressors. There is the ryobi/milwaukee/dewalt setup where you can interchange batteries or the airmoto type approach that can charge off a 12v car adapter. I chose the latter as it's smaller and i can charge it easily in my car at the track, plus i only bought my first cordless ryobi device a week ago. the smaller one will also be easier to carry on a bike trip if i'm going far. No right/wrong answer, just whatever's best for each.

Very nice and compact. Would this pump up a tire that had no air, off just its battery charge?

in the video, it filled that tire from 4 psi to 35 psi w/o issue and didn't sound like it was slowing down or anything, so my guess is if you had a flat on the road, lost all the air, you could patch the tire and fill it up to pressure or at least close enough to get to where you're going better than being stranded.
