Hutchinson Launches FlashAir, an Electric Mini Pump for on-the-go Tyre Inflation
- Hutchinson launches new ultra-compact electric pump, the FlashAir
- Capable of inflation up to 120 PSI | 8.2 BAR
- Universal valve compatibility including Presta, Schrader and ball pump needle
Montargis, France: Expanding its trusted range of cycling accessories and solutions, Hutchinson, the French tyre manufacturer, has today launched the FlashAir. An ultra-compact electric pump, designed for cyclists seeking a modern upgrade from traditional hand pumps or CO2 canisters.
Developed with convenience in mind, the FlashAir weighs just 130g and measures 71×45×32mm, sliding easily into a jersey pocket or saddlebag alongside other ride essentials. It features a protective silicone sleeve that absorbs impacts and provides extra grip when in use.
The FlashAir’s digital screen displays real-time and target pressures simultaneously, while an automatic shut-off feature stops inflation at your target pressure for guaranteed accuracy. Punctures can occur at any time, which is why Hutchinson included a built-in LED light for low-light and night-time repairs. An integrated LED battery indicator keeps cyclists updated on charge, ensuring they know when to recharge via four settings:
- 3 bars: 71%-100%
- 2 bars: 31% – 70%
- 1 bar: 5% – 30%
- Flashing light: >5% (critically low battery, charging required)
This light also clearly displays the charging progress when plugged in using the the USB-C cable provided:
- Solid red light: Charging in progress
- Solid green light: Fully charged
For reliability and user safety, the FlashAir features an overheat protection system that automatically pauses inflation and displays ‘HOT’ if internal temperatures rise during prolonged use. Additionally, the auto shut-off feature powers the inflator down after three minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life.
