Can you use this for any bike tires, like kids bikes? And can you use to inflate basketball or soccer balls?

Yes, it does both Presta and Schraeder valve stems.. You would use the Schraeder valve for the inflation needle.

The short answer is... Yes, it works just fine. I've only used this pump with Schrader valves (same design as car tire valves, and are the most common type in the U.S.), but it should work with Presta valves, too. As for Basketballs & such... You get a "Sports Ball Inflating Needle," latch the pump onto the needle just like you would a bike tube valve, wet the needle a bit (makes it easier), insert it into the hole in the ball, pump to the ball's proper pressure, & remove.

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.

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.

I haven't tried to inflate a car tire. It works great for bikes and footballs, but not so sure about cars.

This probably wouldn't work for that. It is a small pump made for mountain bike shocks. It can be used for bike tires but takes a while due to the small size of the pump.

Hi, this pump should inflate your soccer ball but you need a Sports Ball Air Inflator Needle. Just attach ball inflate needle to Schrader (Not presta )side of pump attachment as you would a tire with a Schrader valve. I tried a sports ball inflate pin with the Topeak Peakini II Mini Pump and there is no problem attaching and locking it in place. I did not have a soccer, football or basketball to pump up though! God Bless!

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.

Yes, I use this for my volleyball as well as my bicycle tires. But you need to purchase the pin that attaches to the pump that inserts into the ball. They are very inexpensive and can usually be found in any sporting goods store/section, and even here on amazon. Also, the gauge on the pump isn't accurate enough (in small increments) to read the pressures required for things like volleyballs, so you have to go by the feeling of the ball...

Absolutely. That's why I bought it - for all of my bikes. I like that it works off the car battery so you can use it on your car or the bikes if you take them somewhere. It inflates bike tires very quickly - car tires take much longer.

So I was in exactly the same situation, how to inflate ! I used a pump like you use for swimming tubes for kids, bikes etc, it worked perfectly. I bought at Target. Hope this helps.

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.

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

I use it on mine, frequently. It is not a "super-duty" inflator and runs slow enough to take care of my bicycle tires without problems.

I have the same issue. I can put air into my bicycle's tire. However, much air escapes when I unscrew the connector. My manual also says the adapters included are not for tires. It is really bad that the picture here shows that it is for auto tires, but they do not include adapters for auto or bicycles.

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

No, I couldn't pump car tire or fitness balls. I have a manual pump I use for that. I primarily use the Intex for inflating air mattresses.
