There was a flat tire on my mountain bike, and I was waiting for this mini-tire pump to arrive before I changed it. And that day was yesterday!After installing a new tube, I made sure that the pump was fully charged. Then, once I had the new tube installed, I attached the pump using the provided short adapter because it was easier to access the valve stem that way.I set the pump to the default 45 lb default pressure for bicycles, hit start and watched to see what happened. It took a couple of minutes, but the tire inflated completely to the target pressure and then shutdown automatically. The charge had enough (barely) to inflate one of my bike tires.BE SURE TO READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. In there, you are told to be careful because parts can become quite hot during inflation. AND THEY WERE RIGHT!!When the pump was done. I reached down and started to detach the short adapter tube from the vavle stem. but I accidentally touched the base of the adapter tube, and it wasn't just hot, that thing had to have been set to deep fat fry!! I burned the tip of one finger, and that was enough to teach me to watch it.This would be an extremely helpful little gadget to have along on a ride, just in case you need to change a flat tire.It doesn't have an endless supply of energy, so keep that in mind.If you use this for its intended purpose - as an emergency inflator, or to do minor inflation jobs, then this is the pump for you.I'm impressed with it. BUT BE CAREFUL!!5/5 stars

I have never carried a bike pump with me when I ride because they are too bulky and so rarely ever needed. This one is so small and light and has the power of a much larger unit so I carry it with me in my little saddle bag whenever I ride my e-bike. I have used it to fill up my tires on several occasions and it has worked perfectly and the battery is strong enough to handle any tire situation.
