Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is coming this fall, running from October 7 to 8, and we’ll bring you all the big cycling deals as we find them during the two-day shopping extravaganza. Our Amazon Prime Day Cycling Deals hub is the ultimate destination for finding all the best discounts and cycling bargains.
In the meantime, Amazon and many cycling retailers are already discounting products as they try to tempt us with early reductions. One early deal I’ve spotted is our best overall pick for the best electric bike pump – the Cycplus AS2 Pro, which is now 30% off. It means you can pick up the Cycplus AS2 Pro for just $90.99, a brilliant $39 discount of the RRP of $129.99.
Today’s best tubeless tyres and rims generally mean punctures are less frequent, but they still occur, especially if your name is Bart, my regular cycling pal, who almost every single ride punctures, meaning I’ve witnessed him thrashing away on his mini-pump on many occasions. As good as the best bike pumps are, with the advances in cycling tech, I decided an electric pump was the way to go.
The best electric bike pumps are now brilliant compact devices, lightweight and easily popped into your cycling jersey or favourite saddle bag. The Cycplus AS2 Pro is up there as one of the best available; it weighs in at a feathery 120g, provides lightning-fast performance, with a maximum air pressure of 120 PSI, and has a decent enough battery life to have you covered for the majority of rides (unless you’re really unlucky, or called Bart.)
The large LED screen on this also delivers precise pressure readings and shows the battery status. A full recharge only takes around 30 minutes.
It’s worth noting that this, like the majority of electric pumps, can get quite hot when using, so you need to be aware when using inner tubes with plastic valves, because they can melt. If you still use inner tubes (I don’t), most models come with an additional valve to alleviate this.
In my opinion, the positives outweigh those negatives, and the convenience of use, precise pressure levels (especially with this model and its LED screen), and the lack of effort when it’s required are all box tickers for me.
The Cycplus AS2 Pro is compact and lightweight.
