I ordered the Motorcycle Plugger kit recommended above.
I want it for my bike and also my car that does not have a spare.
I had a puncture in the Twizy a few weeks ago but luckily I had a repair aerosol that did the trick.
I have also bought one of these :-

The one I bought is the premium version that has a longer lead for £59.99
Just charging the battery, I will report back on its performance

Re: Puncture repair kits
Tried the cordless tyre inflator and it works a treat!
Checked the pressures on the car, motorcycle and Ebike
All of them had low pressures....
One of the tyres on the car was 5psi down and it inflated it upto the correct pressure in approx. 30 seconds.
I checked the digital gauge on the cordless inflator with my usual pressure gauge and they were both very close.
The cordless inflator also has a cutoff feature so you set the pressure wanted and press the trigger.
It then switches off when it reaches the set pressure
It also comes with a dummy battery that has a 12v accessory plug so you can power it direct off the bikes battery if needed.
It comes in a zipped textile case, it’s a little large for a bike but I will just chuck it in the bike Topbox when I go out for a spin

Re: Puncture repair kits
I have a cordless Airman under the seat, but I kind of worry about just how much I carry around under there.
Still, I guess that's why we ride maxi scoots.

Re: Puncture repair kits
Any chance it could be reading low? I always use two tools for inflating my bike tyres - one for inflating and a dedicated pressure gauge just for checking.Normsthename wrote:...Checked the pressures on the car, motorcycle and Ebike ....All of them had low pressures....

Re: Puncture repair kits
One tip - don't plug in a 12v pump on a scooter. It will blow the 5A fuse.

Not on all scooters. But Kawasaki and Yamaha seem to have only a 1a limit, which is pants.mottza wrote:One tip - don't plug in a 12v pump on a scooter. It will blow the 5A fuse.

At risk of being accused of being a weirdy Peugeot lover again, none of my 5 Pugs ever blew a fuse powering a 12v pump.

Re: Puncture repair kits
The slime compressor I bought came with three different power leads - a cigar lighter adaptor lead, a permanent fixed fly lead and a set of leads with crocodile clips that go straight on a battery. Both times I used it, I put the clips direct onto the battery.

Re: Puncture repair kits
No, like I said in the post above I checked the pressure with my usual digital pressure gauge and they were both within 1 psi.Any chance it could be reading low? I always use two tools for inflating my bike tyres - one for inflating and a dedicated pressure gauge just for checking.
The low tyre pressures was just my bad maintenance
