Foot pumps, often also called pedal pumps, are robust and stable tools ideal for home or workshop use: they offer quick, precise inflation without overly tiring the cyclist, thanks to the powerful piston operated with a ground support.
They are considered the ideal choice for those who perform regular maintenance at home and need to reach high inflation pressures without effort. Given their size, they are not suitable for transport by bicycle but should be kept at home or in the workshop.
The foot pump for inflating bike tires consists of a solid base to place on the floor, a pressure gauge, a vertical cylinder with an internal piston, and a pedal or hand lever that, when activated, allow for the controlled input of air into the tire through the valve.
