Need small powerful compressor

Who makes a small compressor I could use to put 110 psi into the air tank on my bike ?

I have a Porter Cable that is pretty good. Loud enough to wake the dead but otherwise good. I got it to carry around the house during remodel. They say portable but heavy enough to be crew-served in my book.

How small? 120vac or 12vdc?

f you are speaking of a small volume, any old refrigerator or freezer compressor will get you the pressure, 110, very easily & generally are free to anyone that will haul them away.

x 2 on the porter cable. I use mine quite a lot but it sure is noisy.

try the battery operated drill compressor, you will be supprised.

Curious about this "air tank on my bike". You got air suspension?

Air shifter

I never knew such a thing existed! So I guess you need something small that you can pack up when you ride in case you happen to run out of air out in the boonies. So it needs to be small, capable of over 100 psi and preferably 12vdc powered.

Have you considered something intended for bicycles? I see there are some battery-powered rechargeable ones available if you google "miniature electric bicycle pump".

Air ride pump off an old Cadillac is 12v & small, too.

No but I will check it out . Bike shifts normal without air if desired

Nitrogen bottle and regulator from the welder's supply? One bottle would likely last a long time. You could probably find a used regulator on ebay. I have a setup that I use for auto A/C work as well to run air tools in remote locations etc.

Most of the small 12 volt emergency air compressors for carrying in a car can reach 125+ PSI. They are slow, but inexpensive, $25 on up on Amazon.com.
