Ring Automotive has launched a handheld rechargeable inflator to meet the needs of today’s on-the-go consumer.

The new RTC2000 does not need to be operated via a 12V socket. Instead, it operates from a rechargeable lithium battery, making it ideal for motorcyclists and cyclists where there is no 12V socket available. This flexibility makes it truly versatile for use across numerous applications, including cars, motorbikes, scooters, bicycles, air beds and sports balls.

Featuring a built-in LED light and digital display with four programmable settings, Ring’s portable tyre inflator is the latest product addition to its award-winning RTC Tyre Inflator range.

It will inflate a tyre from flat, but the real benefit is its ability to top up the pressure in tyres quickly, with 3 minutes to inflate between 25psi-35psi and 2 minutes to fully inflate a bike tyre. Being rechargeable, means that the lithium battery can also be used as a portable powerbank for charging mobile devices.

The compact and lightweight design enables Ring’s handheld rechargeable inflator to be stored in a glove box or a bag easily. For cyclists, it comes with a handy storage harness, similar to a water bottle holder, allowing it to be carried on the bike. Plus, two adaptors, stored in the base of the unit are for inflating sports equipment and Presta valve tyres.
