What type of valves can it inflate?
The RideAir is suitable for both types of valves (Presta as well as Schrader). In addition, you can use the RideAir with a ball inflating pump needle adapter in order to inflate basketball, football and etc. Last updated: Tue, May 12 2015 3:25 pm EDT
What is the max PSI the RideAir can hold?
The RideAir can hold high pressure. The actual pressure that the RideAir will hold really depends on the air compressor that you will use in order to inflate the RideAir. From our experience the common air compressors outputs 145 PSI. We designed the RideAir to hold a much higher pressure though. Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:06 am EDT
How many tires can a fully compressed RideAir inflate?
a. There are two main variables that will determine that number: Tire size and width. b. There are two main scenarios that a cyclists usually encounter: (1) Reduced air pressure due to unused bike for couple of weeks. (2) Slow leakage of air due to puncture that will eventually cause a flat tire. In these cases, we need an emergency, highly pressured, inflation, so we could reach our final destination (return home safely, get on time to class or work, and even arrive less sweaty to a romantic date). The RideAir will help you manage both situations. For the number of Full tires the RideAir can provide, see table above. Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:06 am EDT
What is the RideAir’s weight?
Around 1 pound, just like a full bicycle water bottle. Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:06 am EDT
Is there a backup in case the pump loses air from that last time it was filled?
We designed the RideAir to keep the air inside the tank, without any leaks. The only thing that might affect the pressure inside the RideAir is the ambient temperature changes. Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:06 am EDT

The RideAir is designed to fit any common water bottle holder. In case you don’t have one, or need another, you can pledge for our “RIDER PACK” Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:06 am EDT
How can I keep it safe when I’m not next to my bicycle?
The RideAir a built-in combination lock with 4 feet metal cable. You can lock the RideAir to your bicycle’s frame. Moreover, the cable is long enough to lock the bike to a small pole. No extra key is required. The main idea behind this lock is to secure the RideAir to the bike when you are around the bike or maybe just stopped shortly a a pit stop. This way you can carry everywhere you go with a peace of mind. Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:21 am EDT
How do I refill it?
You can use any air compressor out there! Simply adjust the air compressor to its maximum pressure (most air compressors could reach around 145 PSI or more), connect the compressor outlet tube to the RideAir’s inlet valve and fill it up in seconds. It’s that simple :) Last updated: Thu, May 14 2015 3:21 am EDT

Current Estimated Shipping Date: January 2015
Last Updated At: 07/09/15What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
