Hutchinson FlashAir: a 130-gram mini electric pump

Hutchinson is expanding its line of accessories with the FlashAir, a mini electric pump designed to inflate tires while out on a ride. Compact and lightweight, it delivers a maximum pressure of 8.2 bars and is intended as an alternative to hand pumps and CO₂ cartridges.

Weighing 130 g and measuring 71 × 45 × 32 mm, the FlashAir fits easily into a jersey pocket or saddle bag. It features a digital display showing real-time pressure and the target pressure, as well as an automatic shut-off when the target pressure is reached. A silicone protective cover improves grip and absorbs shocks, while an LED light makes repairs easier in low-light conditions.

The pump is compatible with Presta and Schrader valves and can also inflate a ball using the included needle. It features overheating protection, which temporarily pauses inflation if necessary, as well as a battery level indicator. Charging is via USB-C.

The FlashAir comes with adapters, an extension hose, a protective silicone case, and a USB-C charging cable.
