If there is one product every cyclist owns it is an air pump to keep bicycle tires at the proper inflation. One interesting alternative to the standard track or floor pump are foot operated pumps. Not only is using your feet more ergonomic than using your upper body, it can be much easier and faster to use. With the $99.99 SKS Airstep even road cyclists can take advantage of the floor pump design as it is capable of upto 102psi or 7bar pressures. It’s a compact design that uses a hinged aluminium foot pedal that’s easy to use while folding away flat. The long hose is compatible with Dunlap, Shrader and Presta valves with a dual sided chuck. When not in use the SKS Airstep can store the hose in an integrated storage space around the wide analog pressure gauge. Note, SKS also offers a $124.99 Airstep Digi with an illuminated digital pressure gauge.
What sets the SKS Airstep apart from your standard bicycle tire pump is the foot pump design. Rather than bending over and using your upper body, the Airstep lets you take advantage of your legs for a more ergonomic design. That also means the Airstep doesn’t look like your standard floor pump and gets away with a more compact rectangular profile. The SKS Airstep uses a single barrel design that is mounted under the aluminium foot pedal. When in storage mode the pedal sits flush against the main body of the SKS for a compact form factor that is easy to store. An orange plastic toggle allows you to unlock the pedal and allow it to extend upwards.
The pedal is attached by a long rod to the barrel which allows you to pump air each time the pedal is pushed down to the base. It’s a simple motion that takes advantage of your leg muscles instead of your upper body. Raised diamond-like texture on the front of the foot pedal prevents your feet from sliding on the pedal. Aside from the pedal and barrel, most of the Airstep is constructed of plastic with a semi-matte finish. Additional rubber pads on the base of the pump prevent it from sliding around on the floor...
