Portoable Motorcycle Tire Compressor Reivew

Excerpt of article written by by H.B.C. for webBikeWorld.com

In time for the new seasons rides, this article compares two portable motorcycle tire compressors. The Slime Power Sport motorcycle tire air compressor and the AirMan Sparrow motorcycle tire air compressor.

HBC doesn’t give them the same marks. Here are the excerpts.

AirMan Sparrow Compressor Kit Overview
Produced by Active Tools A/S, a Danish company that has been producing compressors and inflators for over ten years, the AirMan Sparrow in its basic form has been around for some time. The company also produces active sealant products and related OE automotive products.

For what it’s worth, the current version of the compressor is also identified as the AirMan Compact Air Compressor. No matter the packaging or name, it is widely available and typically retails for around $25.00 USD.

Compact and lightweight, the whole unit measures 65 x 150 x 130 mm (2.55 x 5.9 x 5.2 inches) and weighed in at 572 g (1.042 lbs.) The unit features a 12 Volt 150 PSI compressor and is available with either alligator clips or, as mine is, with an ingenious power connector that adapts for use with both a cigarette (NA) or Powerlet/BMW-style plug. …

Three SAE power connection harnesses with specific connectors — alligator clips, lighter adapter and direct battery hookup — are included.

The alligator clip harness is 45 cm (18 inches) long, while the other two are 35 cm (14 inches) long. The soft fabric-covered air hose with Quick Clip is 45 cm (18 inches) long. Also in the case is a tire pressure pencil gauge rated for 10 to 50 PSI and a small instruction sheet.

The carrying case measures 4 in x 3.5 in x 2 in (H x W x D). When everything is packed in the pre-formed carry case, my trusty scales indicated 854 g or 1.141 lbs., somewhat less than the publicized kit weight of approximately 2.2 lbs. For packing purposes, less is better…….
