Here is our review of the Fanttik X10 Ace Mini Bike Pump.
The Fanttik X10 Ace Mini is a compact electric bike pump built to live in your jersey pocket, saddlebag or bottle cage, so you always have a way to get rolling again after a puncture. Weighing just 0.26 lbs, it is light enough that you will barely notice you are carrying it.
Despite its size, the X10 Ace Mini can reach up to 100 PSI with an accuracy of ±1 PSI, thanks to Fanttik’s AccuInflate technology. It can take a 700x23c road tyre from 0 to 100 PSI in 80 seconds, and it works with both Presta and Schrader valves, making it suitable for road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes and BMX.
You can set your preferred pressure in advance and the pump will automatically stop once it gets there. It also remembers your last setting, includes automatic overheat protection and uses an integrated gear-fan to help keep things cool.

Final Thoughts
The X10 Ace Mini is really small and slips easily into a jersey pocket or saddlebag. At just 0.26 lbs, you will hardly know it is there until you need it.
Using the pump is very simple. You choose the pressure you want, attach it to the valve and press start. The LED screen shows the pressure in real time, and the pump stops automatically once it reaches your target.
Don’t worry if your bikes use different valves. The pump supports both Presta and Schrader, and the included air hose and adapter mean you are covered whichever type you have.
Inflation is quick. Fanttik says a 700x23c road tyre goes from 0 to 100 PSI in around 80 seconds, which is really impressive for something this size. The ±1 PSI accuracy also means you are far less likely to end up with an over or under inflated tyre.
Fanttik has used a straight-line internal structure and balanced the weight of the motor, so the pump doesn’t shake around in your hand as much as you might expect. The value memory is also very handy, as the pump remembers your last pressure so you don’t need to set it again every time.
If the pump gets too hot, it will show a high temperature alert and pause until it has cooled down. This is a safety feature, so just give it a few minutes before carrying on. If you use TPU inner tubes with resin valves, you should definitely use the extension air hose to stop the valve from overheating.
The pump is recharged using the included cable. It is a good idea to fully charge it after each use before putting it away, and if you are storing it for a long time, top it up every 6 months. In a pinch, it is a fantastic thing to have with you, and Fanttik also includes a 6-month warranty along with lifetime technical support.
The Fanttik X10 Ace Mini Bike Pump is available now for around £50.99 (down from £78.99).
