There are accessories that should always be carried nearby, in case anything happens. We are talking about multipurpose tools, which can serve as a keychain, screwdriver, blade and much more, but also gadgets such as the Lidl rechargeable compressor and inflator to say goodbye to flat tires. As the roads are in Spain and with summer trips ahead, A puncture can ruin anyone’s vacation..
However, there are more complete and versatile solutions, designed to cover all types of inflatable elements, from kites, kayaks and paddle surf boards to tents, mattresses and, of course, bicycle, motorcycle and car wheels. Those responsible for Neo-B were thinking about all of this, a compact and powerful air pump that is the subject of a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
This portable device is designed to be taken anywhere, thanks to its small dimensions (7.3 cm in diameter and 23.5 cm in height, similar to a 1 liter bottle) and a weight of only 880 grams. Constructed of durable aluminum alloy, includes a brushless motor 110,000 RPM to offer rapid air entry in the first stage, up to 550 liters per minute. The 30-cylinder piston booster pump improves pressure in the second stage.

Neo-B also has two inflation modes: the mixed one, with a maximum pressure of 20 psi, and the Pure Boost, which reaches 150 psi. In addition, it has safety measures such as a preset pressure stop and automatic shut-off.
Inside it keeps a 5000 mAh battery, rechargeable via a USB-C cable, which also serves as a power bank to charge other devices. To be able to use it in all types of environments, including the beach, it has double-layer protection to prevent sand from entering thanks to a 1 mm air inlet network. IPX 44 protection also protects it against water.
