The stubby Stompump is a compact and bike-stowable foot-operated air pump that’s meant for high-volume, medium to low-pressure tires. It has a maximum pressure of 90 psi and weighs decently light 185 grams. It’s made from a combination of aluminum with a large Delrin piston and a strong steel return spring. It features an integrated filter to keep dirt and debris from damaging the internals of the pump so that it will run smoothly for years and keep the air in your tires clean. The Stompump is easy to disassemble, clean and rebuild, and then reassembled without any tools.
To use the Stompump, you disconnect the Presta/Schrade chuck and unwind the long skinny air hose from the body. Connect the air chuck to the tire’s valve and start pumping with your foot until the desired tire pressure is reached.

They infer that the Stompump will inflate tires up to three times faster than standard mini-pumps. Instead of relying on a longer stroke that mini-pumps use, it features a shorter stroke combined with a piston that has a much larger surface area. And it utilizes your body’s strongest muscles, your legs, making for much easier inflation than using a hand pump.
The rubber top cap has a hidden cylindrical storage compartment for a patch kit or anything small.

The Stompump kit includes the pump and a bottle cage attachment dock and strap system and retails for $99.95. For $19.95 you can get an additional frame dock and strap so that you can swap the Stompump between bikes. If you already use your water bottle cages the frame dock and strap system has two slots to the mount it with zip-ties.

Would be even nicer with an internal Bluetooth pressure sensor that reads out to a large screen phone app. On the screen of the app, it could have a bleed button to activate an internal solenoid in the pump which releases any over pressure.
It would have likely increased the cost and decreased durability. I can ping the company and ask if they have any plans for that?
