Xiaomi's new air compressor is lighter and has a built-in LED light

Xiaomi has introduced a new portable compressor, the Mijia Compact Portable Electric Air Compressor, on its global website, which could appeal primarily to cyclists and owners of e-bikes or scooters. Thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight, it fits practically anywhere and can inflate a surprising number of tires on a single charge.

Half the weight of the previous model

The main draw of the new product is its weight of just 240 grams, which represents a 50% saving compared to the older Xiaomi Portable Electric Air Compressor 2 model, which weighed 490 grams. This means you can easily store the compressor in a backpack or bike bag and practically not even feel it. The package also includes a storage case with a hidden pocket for accessories.

Inside the compact body is a brushless motor and an alloy cylinder that can handle pressure up to 150 psi. Xiaomi states a pressure measurement accuracy of ±1 psi, which should be sufficient for reliable inflation to the desired value.

Solid battery life and speed

The compressor is powered by a 2000mAh lithium-ion battery, which can inflate up to 8 completely flat bicycle tires (700×23C from 0 to 80 psi) on a full charge. If it’s just about topping up the pressure from 60 to 80 psi, the number rises to 23 tires.

Regarding speed, the compressor inflates a flat bicycle tire in approximately 60 seconds, while topping up the pressure takes about 20 seconds. It can handle an e-bike in 10 seconds. Xiaomi also mentions the possibility of emergency use for cars – it can inflate a 205/55 R16 tire from 2.0 to 2.5 bar in 105 seconds.

Five modes and automatic shutdown

The Mijia Compact Portable Electric Air Compressor offers five preset modes: for motorcycles and e-bikes (2.4 bar), bicycles (45 psi), electric scooters (50 psi), balls (8 psi), and a custom mode with a range of 0.2–10.3 bar. In each mode, values can be adjusted as needed, and the compressor automatically remembers the last setting.

A practical feature is the automatic shutdown when the set pressure is reached, so you don’t have to monitor the inflation. The compressor also has a self-calibration function, which activates upon power-on and can adapt to high-altitude environments. There is also a built-in LED light with two modes – constant illumination and SOS flashing for emergency situations.

The package includes adapters for three types of valves: Schrader (cars, mountain bikes, e-bikes), Presta (road bikes), and a needle adapter for balls.

Availability in the Czech Republic uncertain for now

Xiaomi has not yet disclosed the price or specific launch date for individual markets. Given that the product has appeared on the manufacturer’s global website, it is possible that it will eventually make its way to the Czech Republic. In our market, you can still purchase the Xiaomi Portable Electric Air Compressor 2, whose price according to Heureka starts at 947 Kč.
