Can use a regular bicycle pump to inflate?

I had a regular air pump that I tried using, it honestly was slower and didn't work as well as the manual foot pump that I purchased for this bed.

I don't believe so. I have an electric pump and manual pump specifically for them.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

I think you would have to do a lot of modifying to make that work! The opening to the air mattress is designed for a vacuum cleaner hose. At least, that is my recollection. I haven't used the mattress in a few months.

No you will have to get an electric pump you will never get it filled with a bike pump.

I use a Topeak Mountain Morph (high volume) for my Fatbike. It takes me about 120 pumps to fill a 4"X26 bicycle tire to 7 PSI. I'm sure the Mountain Morph would work for your needs if you have the patience.

We use a bicycle pump. That is all you need. It pumps up quickly and easily with a bicycle pump. We have launched this tons of times...lots of fun!

Should be ok for bike tire. You need the inserts for inflating soccer balls, basketballs etc. Makes no sense why the hand pump does not come with inserts.

you can use a bicycle pump or just use your mouth. It is very easy to do. Hope this helps you!

I do not know why a particular bike brand would affect whether you buy this pump. It is a general purpose foot pump up to 100psi that is able to inflate my tires that take 80 to 90 psi. It does not affix to the bike frame like a water bottle or other type hand pump, if that is what you wanted to know. Since my tires have that narrow stem, I had to purchase an adapter at the bike shop in order to use this pump (or any other pump like those at gas stations).

You need to find the correct air connection to fit your air compressor line, there are several different types. No you can not use a bicycle pump, the make a manual version of this product if you do not have an air compressor. I really like mine.

No. All bike tires use either Presta (the smaller type) or Schrader valves (the larger type, same as what car tires use). This pump works on any tire using a Schrader valve and comes with an adapter for Presta valves, although I do not know how well the adapter works.

My adult son blew ours up by mouth, and admitted it took a bit of doing, so if you use the mattresses frequently, a pump of some sort would definitely be handy. Unless you have an adapter, I don't think a bicycle pump will work. Pumps for other inflatables (kayaks, air matresses, dinghys, etc.) might work. Coleman sells an inflatable air bed hand pump for around $20 on Amazon. There are electric pumps available too.

I'm sure you will get more authoritative answers than mine but from memory: a bicycle pump is quite impractical because there are two sizes of valve on the mattress - the second size (used after the first obviously) is a sort of non return valve which allows you to top up effectively. When I was using this on a camping trip I bought a kind of foot pump tube thing from Amazon which worked well but is a bit of a workout; but for home use nothing beats the small handheld electric pump I also bought from Amazon which takes care of the whole business in a couple of minutes. I can't remember the brand names for either pump so you'll have to surf a bit. Good luck; it's a great mattress.

I have a bike pump and was able to fit the funnel-shaped nozzle into the hose of the bike pump. I think you can buy a little pump online, but I didn't bother since I already had a bike pump. I imagine an air mattress pump might do just as well. BTW I've had the ball for a year now, sit on it every day eight hours a day at work, and have never had to blow it up. Pretty amazing!

I don't know. I thought about it but I used the bike pump instead and worked very very well.

I believe that you do. We ordered a pump along with the bike, and did not use it until the wheels are inflated.

No. This is for inflatables...not car or bicycle tires. The pump is high volume and would not be suitable for tires even if it had a fitting

Sorry, I don't have a bicycle to try the nozzles that came with the unit. I've inflated several different types of children balls, pools, even mywife's float for her cold food, but not a bike
