can this be used to inflate tires for kids bikes ?

Yes, it will work with both Presta (skinny) and Schrader (fat - like on kids bikes) valves.

Yes. This pump works great on the grand kid's bikes and any other standard valve stem found on pneumatic wheels on riding mowers, hand trucks etc. And it's easy. Just remember you place it over the stem with the lever down then lift it up to seal it for pumping.

The answer is yes, but this is not the best choice. There are two types of valves on bike tires. Schrader (like on you car tire) on lower pressure tires, and presta on high pressure tires. Kids bikes usually have schrader valves. So if you set the pump for schrader valves (the gasket is reversible) you can pump up the tire. But this pump is really for lower pressure or emergency use, and doesn't put much air in with each stroke. While you can carry this with you for emergencies, you are better off buying a floor pump. Be sure to push in the center of the valve to release some air and open the seal before you use any pump. The answer is yes, but this is not the best choice.

Sure,as long as the kids bike tubes are equipped with either schrader or presta valves.

I have not used it for any inflatables, but it would work if the inflatable used a needle like the one for inflating footballs, soccer balls, basketballs, etc.

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.

I imagine it could be, but I would think it would take quite awhile to fill a tire. It's a small compressor, because the air bags don't take much air.

I would think so. I used it to inflate an exercise ball and it worked fine.

Reviewers have used this pump to inflate both bike and stroller tires. However, there are two issues to consider. Sports balls need less pressure than tires, so a sports pump may not be a durable. Also, you will need an adapter for the tire valve. Might be worth researching this at a bike shop.

Yes. I have done this many times, pushing two kids weighing 20lbs and 50lbs. However remember the the tires are bike tires so the tubes can pop and need to be patched. This has only happened to me once though.

In reading thru the instructions..it states not to be used for tires and the attachments can't connect to a gauge or valve stem. It airs up 2-person tubes fast.

I use my bike pump to inflate my pickup tires so it should work fine for motorcycles. It's a bit of a workout but in a pinch it's better than driving around with flat tires.

I just inflate it with an air compressor. If you have a bike tire pump this would also work but may take a little longer

This is not a compressor. It will not produce enough pressure to inflate tires. Short answer... No.

Yes it could. It would need to be adjusted to the width of the tire, but once adjusted to the width of the bike's tire, a child should be able to use it with ease. A major advantage of this product is that it can be used with any diameter wheel (whether 700c, 26inch, 20inch, etc), whereas many stands wouldn't work with a child-size bike wheel. As noted by another customer, this stand is for the bike only, not a bike with a rider on it.

I would recommend getting a standard bicycle tire pump. This pump does not have the ness essay fitting to pump up a tire.

No, you hook this up to an air hose connected to an air compressor. It needs an air source to inflate tires.

No I would not recommend this for pumping up bike tires. It is more for large inflatables. River rafts, air mattresses....etc...

I would think not -- it doesn't provide a lot of air volume, just slow pressure of the type that can inflate tires or other inflatables.

it is not a pump. it is just a tire inflater with built in gauge that works with an external air compressor. you need to already have a compressor. with that said, it works great for bike tires, i used mine on Sunday to top off my tires on my beach cruiser.
