Anyone has hands on experience with them? Or which model would you recommend? Is the lack of led screen a deal breaker? I always carry co2 cartridges and thinking this would be a nice change.

I have this one: [https://www.cycplus.com/products/tiny-e-pump-for-bike-as2-pro?variant=44311226056862](https://www.cycplus.com/products/tiny-e-pump-for-bike-as2-pro?variant=44311226056862)
Works great! Lighter and faster than a handpump (about the same weight as a 25g Co2 cartridge and nozzle) and you can fill up 5+ gravel tyres on one charge. You want the screen to see what pressure you using.
Don’t have this specific brand, they’re pretty neat I prefer the one with the screen so you can set the pressure you prefer, takes the guess work out. They’re pretty loud though, general emergency use to top up after forgetting to pump while riding, pumps faster than a hand pump. Nice little tool to have in the saddlebag. My e-pump is the Cycplus AS2 pro.
Another device to charge up seems silly.
Depending your ride it’s nice and small, good for a normal day ride. However while bikepacking I rely on a classic pump because no need to recharge.
You should get a well made one, but apparently the battery doesn’t last long. Even though I use swalbe marathon plus tires that can reach 6 bar pressure, I always prefer to carry a hand pump with me.
