Top 5 bicycle pumps for MODMO tyres

You won’t get very far as a cyclist without a good, reliable bicycle pump. Whether you’re fixing a leak on the road or topping up your tyres at home, it’s important to keep them at a certain PSI when you ride and a bicycle pump is key to maintaining that healthy air pressure.

There are a range of pump types out there, from mini pumps that go along for the ride to floor pumps that you would keep in the garage. Ideally, you would have one of each, for different situations.

You also need to consider what kind of valve your tyres have. All MODMO ebikes come with a presta valve, and we would recommend that you find a dual-purpose pump that fits both presta and schrader valves as it’s quite rare to find a pump that only fits presta valves.

Here is a series of five pumps that would be ideal for your commute on a MODMO ebike, balancing price with practicality.

Birzman Maha Push & Twist MTB II

We found reviews for a number of Birzman pumps, but this one stood out for its simplicity and sturdy materials. Built with CNC machined aluminum and high polymer, this pump comes with a pressure gauge and a dual head suitable for both Presta and Schrader valves.

  • Pressure bleed button ( CAD ) for ultimate accuracy

Lezyne Sport Floor Drive

A pump with an extra long hose, built with a steel barrel and piston and a tough composite matrix base. The maximum capacity of this pump is 220 psi, well over what we would recommend for our tyres so be mindful when pumping and watch the pressure gauge carefully.
