A compressor or tire inflator is a worthwhile investment. I’ve had a mains compressor at home for as long as I can remember, but when motorbike touring, I used to carry an emergency CO2 kit. With more long-distance travel and some off-road riding, I decided it was time to get a rechargeable battery compressor.

There were several non-negotiables for this purchase: it had to charge via USB, be slim enough to fit in my toolbox, be capable of inflating, and include a pressure gauge. Finding the perfect one took a lot of research!

The Temola fit the bill right from the start, and for the price, I was really impressed. Its first task was inflating an airbed, and since then it’s pumped up two car tyres (one from flat) one on charge, inflated the bike trailer tyres, and, to be honest, is starting to take over the job of my 240V compressor for tyre work.

I honestly am impressed with this little piece of kit, to the point I would actually consider another to keep for home use!

Features:

Mini but mighty: Measuring just 2 x 2.2 x 8.8 inches and weighing 0.9 pounds, this portable tyre inflator is compact and easy to store. With a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and an airflow of 34L/min, it inflates tyres fast. For example, it can boost a car tyre from 29 to 36 PSI in just a minute, and fully inflate from 0 to 36 PSI in only 5 minutes, making it a perfect car accessory for quick tyre inflation.

Easy to use and automatically shuts off: Just select your desired pressure with the “+” and “-” control buttons on the TEMOLA, plug the air hose into your vehicle, and press the centre “start” button. Once the correct pressure is reached, the car tire inflator will shut off on its own. This portable air pump makes inflating almost any tire a breeze (excluding trucks).

DUAL POWER SUPPLY: Our car air compressors come with both a rechargeable battery and a 12V DC power option. In battery mode, you can inflate your tyres anytime, anywhere. You can also switch to the 12V DC power mode if the battery runs out, so there’s no need to worry. In short, the TN12 portable air compressor is an essential tool for handling tyre issues on the road.

DUAL SCREEN DISPLAY & USER-FRIENDLY: Our bike tire pump features a large, clear LED screen that displays real-time pressure (accurate to 0.5 PSI) and preset values, making it easy to monitor and operate while inflating. It also offers 4 preset inflation modes (bicycles, motorcycles, cars, and balls) and 4 pressure units (PSI, KPA, BAR, KG/CM²), ensuring effortless use for beginners.

This portable car tyre air pump is a real multitasker—it can inflate balls, bicycles, motorcycles, and cars. It also features three lighting modes: steady light, strobe, and SOS, perfect for use in the dark or during emergencies. Plus, it comes with a USB output port to give your phone an emergency charge, and even includes a safety hammer in the accessories for breaking windows if needed.
