Best Mini Bike Pumps [6 Smallest Pocket Bicycle Pumps]

This pump ticks every box. Not is it only the smallest (by some distance) on this list, it is also the lightest, packs the most power (an impressive 160psi) and is universal – so works with both Schrader and Presta valves.

It was created by Rehook – the guys behind the Dragon Den-backed tool that promised to get your chain back on in less than three seconds.

Now Rehook are expanding at quite a pace with lots more handy cycling gadgets. As well as the Rehook, the Rehook PLUS and the Rehook Mini, the British-based company have even tried their hand at creating a lightweight helmet with a built-in light.

This mini bike pump might be their most impressive creation to date though as it is incredible small and lightweight.

Can you fit it in your pocket? Definitely. It’s smaller than the iPhone 13 Mini and is about the same size as a wrapped Mars bar.

As well as being one of the compatible and smallest bike pumps, this mini pump is also one of the slickest, with its lightweight titanium design available in multiple colours, including black, matte black, red and silver.

The Pro Bike Tool Mini Bike Pump comes with a secure frame mounted bracket so you can keep it attached to your bike if you want – and it fits snuggly so it doesn’t rattle. At just 18.5cm in length, it’s also small enough to comfortably into most trouser, jacket and jersey pockets.

It’s also exceedingly light, weighing in at just 100 grams – which is considerably less than the majority of smartphones.

But just because it’s small and light doesn’t mean it’s not a powerful pump – on the contrary, this pump can reach riding pressure with 30% fewer pumping strokes than most other mini bike pumps.

A great all-round mini bike pump.

If you exclusively ride bikes with Presta valves, then this is the smallest bike pump you can find.

Measuring just 16cm in length and weight just 60g (just a touch more than a Mars bar), this is a seriously lightweight bike pump for Presta valves.

But just because it’s small, doesn’t mean its not powerful. On the contrary, in fact, with a maximum pressure of 160psi – making it a remarkable efficient mini bike pump.

The aptly-named Topeak Micro Rocket also comes with a simple side mount bracket for you to discreetly attach it to your bike

This pump may be a smidge heavier and not quite as sleek as the Pro Bike Tool Mini, but it’s almost a third of the price.

If you’re after the best cheap mini bike pump, therefore, the VeloChampion is indeed the champ.

The VeloChampion Alloy 7 comes with several adaptors (include a ball pump attachment) as well as a bike frame mount and a velcro strap – so you can attach it to your bike however you choose.

It’s compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves and really is a great all-round budget mini bicycle pump.

Overall it’s a very versatile mini bike pump and the best option if you’re looking for a budget pump.

Another highly compact bicycle pump, this model from Diyife weighs just 160g and can be attached to your bike frame with the mounting bracket.

Like the Cykeway, it comes with ‘Presta’ and ‘Schrader’ valve attachments, meaning it is great for either road or mountain bikes, and its bike frame mount means it can be attached securely to your bike and will be held firmly in place, with being overly heavy so as to weigh you and your bicycle down.

Plus, boasting a 120 psi pump, it’s another extremely powerful piece of kit, and can repair much more than just bikes, including footballs and basketballs.

It also comes with a gas needle to inflate the sports balls, a fixed belt and holder to attach the pump on the bike, a rubber binding strap to fix the tube, a puncture repair kit and user manual.

Diyife Bike Pump Instructions:

1. Attach the pump to the tyre valve. The hose head can be switched between Shrader and Presta valves easily.
2. When in place, pull the grey lever on the pump head to secure the pump in place.
3. Pump the tyre and use the gauge on the side to monitor PSI.

Now, a disclaimer: this is technically not a pump. It’s a pressurised canister, and one that you’ll need to change the cartridge of after each use. 

It is, though, the smallest item on this list, measuring it at a tiny 12cm in length.

There are two major benefits of CO2 bike tyre inflators: 1) they can be very small and portable and 2) they are extremely fast at pumping up your tyre.

The downside is undoubtedly cost and remembering to make sure you have a full cartridge ready for your ride. The upfront cost is actually a little cheaper than PRO BIKE TOOL’s mini pump, but you will have to pay for replacement 16g cartridges.

tThe integrated canister safely stores carbon dioxide cartridges, meaning there’s no risk of any leakage, and the canister body also insulates from the cold while you use it to inflate. A slightly different product, but an equally reliable design nonetheless.
