This week on EV Rider I’ve got a look at what’s gotta be the smallest, slickest tire pump I’ve ever used.

When it comes to EV motoring, tires play a critical role in getting the most range possible out of a battery. Keeping your tires properly inflated can make a difference. When it comes to EV motorcycling space is also at a premium, so historically I didn’t carry a tire pump with me.
Now, thanks to a product called the Newo Mini Air pump it’s easy to fill check and top off my motorcycle tires when I’m on a multi-state journey. Newo’s pump lives up to its “mini” name. It’s small enough to easily enough to fit in my Zero Motorcycles SR/F’s trunk, top box, or even under the seat.
Better yet, the pump comes with a built-in flashlight in case I never need to add a little air on the side of the road at night. Coolgadget.com sent me the review unit featured in the video. It appears well built and smartly designed.
To give you a sense of just how small the Newo is, check out the video or this photo comparison to my other tire inflator.
To turn on the Newo you click down on the pump’s mini hose. Then you take the hose out of its out of its holder and then screw it into the unit.
Once you’ve done that you can set your target pressure via its LED read out. Now you’re ready to screw it onto your tire and watch the magic. This pump is primarily meant to top off tires that are 5 pounds or so low.
If you do find yourself needing more air, well first, shame on you for waiting that long. But the Newo has you covered – within reason. It also comes with a backup battery that you can twist onto the main unit to basically give you a lot more run-time.
Let’s also be real. A pump this small isn’t meant to inflate automotive tires from flat.
Both batteries are recharged with a USB-C cord that comes with the unit so you can charge – or recharge – them before storing them in you car, motorcycle, bicycle or other vehicle.
The backup battery pack has a built-in flashlight with multiple brightness settings along with a flash mode so if you’re stuck on the side of the road you can set it to flash as an added safety feature. With a 2,000 mAh battery it can also recharge things like a smartphone or tablet.
The Newo includes storage bags and pressure valves for bicycles and balls. Coolgadget.com says it can inflate up to 150 PSI. The cylinder is made out of metal with a wind tunnel design.
For anyone interested in the mini electric air pump, coolgadget.com is offering 10% off. Just use code EVRIDER at checkout. At the time of this post’s publication the Newo had a retail price of $59.19.
