Could I pump it up with a bicycle pump? (I.e. would the nozzle from a bike pump work in the hole?

Thank you for your question. A bicycle pump could work provided there's a company that makes an adaptor that connects the pump to the pool (there must be an airtight connection) I always recommend using an electric or battery operated air pump. It's very quick and easy to use. Good Luck!

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

I answered this question a while ago here and my answer should be located within the write up reviews; That said, I shall answer it again. This is not the correct kind of pump you would or could use on bicycle, car, motorcycle tires with. It is only good for inflating and deflating what would be air mattresses, pool accessories, and such. The adapters are not made to fit anything other than air mattresses, etc. I hope this helps. For the car, motorcycle, bike tires you will need a compressor air pump. You can either go to an old-style gas station, go to your favorite car tire center, or purchase any multitude of compressor air pumps listed on Amazon.com, or other site.

Yes, any pump that has that little 'pointed' end to fit into the plug (which u pull up). Great product. I don't use a bicycle pump but a little electric pump, but if your bicycle pump has a pointed tip to fit into the pull out plug would work. Enjoy.

Yes. This is the only tire pump I have for all my vehicles, and it works fine for such purposes. As a kid growing up, we would use bicycle pumps such as these to pump up tires when we had flats and we were on the road, and our spare needed air. A bicycle pump will pump up any tire, regardless of size, as long as the valve stems on the tires are the same as the valve stems of the bicycle pump. Since bicycle tires, car tires, and even semi-truck tires all have the same valve stems, you may use a bicycle pump to pump up any of them. Just make sure the intended PSI of the tire you are pumping up is not greater than the PSI rating of the pump you are using. In this case, the bicycle pump is rated at 70 PSI, more than enough for the average car tire (somewhere around 35ish PSI is average for a car, although it varies from tire to tire). Note when pumping up a car tire, pump it up to the PSI recommended on the specifications sticker located on the driver's side door panel, NOT the max psi listed on the tire. Inflating a tire to its maximum rating will cause it to wear out super fast, and will not handle ideally.

In my case no, because my bike doesn't have a standard water bottle holder. If your bike does, you should be able to attach the pump between the frame and bottle holder ( it comes with a pump holder) with the same screws.

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.

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

Some of the balls come with their own pump and this is how we do it. I suppose a bike pump would work.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

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

Any bike pump will work. I would suggest a full size pump with foot pegs. We used a small hand held bike pump but it broke down after a few days, full size much easier to use. Great rocket, you will have a blast.

Yes! The top ring has to be blown up. Usually a small DC volt air mattress pump, with a cone shaped variable size nozzle will work fine. The air hole is about 1 inch in diameter.

I use my bike pump all the time, it fits fine... Could it be that you didn't lock it after you put the valve in? I've forgotton that step, and the pump definitely won't work until it's locked.Also, one of the best investments I've ever made is the portable air compressor that runs off the car cigarette lighter. I bought it at a local hardware store for around $20, and I see that Amazon has one for $26. I use it all the time for pumping up sports balls, bike tires, and the BOB.

no way, the pump is really little. less then 3" of water or it won't shoot up. maybe the size of your largest mixing bowl only a litttle bit wider than.

You just have to be sure you have the right nozzle on a pump (the plastic type, not the skinny metal bicycle type). You can get a cheap pump for $10-$15. Have fun!

Yes, although it doesn't move a whole lot of air on the pumping, you could pump tires up with it. It just might take a while though but it's really compact. I recommend getting the CO2 cartridge kits. They're really compact and much faster.

It's a pretty standard valve. That being said, your regular bicycle pump or air compressor won't work without an adapter. But any standard hand or electric pump that is for pumping air mattresses, etc will work. I used a hand pump that came with an air mattress to pump up my towable. They sell for 10 bucks or less
