Silca Elettrico Ultimate and Elettrico Micro: the first electric pumps from the brand

The renowned cycling tools and accessories brand Silca has introduced its first electric mini pumps. They are called Elettrico Ultimate and Elettrico Micro and come with a compact design, ultra silent motors inspired by drone technology and a precision that promises to revolutionize inflation, even for demanding cyclists.

Silca introduces its first electric pumps

In an increasingly competitive market, where traditional mini pumps and CO2 cartridges are losing ground to new pocket electric alternatives, Silca enters the game with a powerful and refined proposal.

The Ultimate model stands out for its digital display, which allows you to select pressure from 3 to 100 psi and guarantees precision close to 1%. In addition, it has a rechargeable USB-C battery and a capacity equivalent to more than nine CO2 cartridges. The brand ensures that the recharge time is approximately one hour.

On the other hand, the Elettrico Micro, more minimalist and without a display, automatically stops inflation when reaching 72 psi, the recommended limit for modern hookless tires. Its full charge is completed in just 20 minutes and is equivalent to a little over three CO2 cartridges.

Both models have been designed to minimize noise and vibrations, thanks to a CNC-machined aluminum body. They are compatible with Silca valves, such as Schrader or Hiro, and can be easily stored in a pocket or saddlebag.

In Europe, the launch prices are 139 € for the Micro and 179 € for the Ultimate.

Silca has announced that they will not be able to market them in their main historical market, the United States, due to the increased cost resulting from tariffs on imported products imposed under the administration of Donald Trump. According to the brand, it is "not economically viable" to launch these products in the U.S. currently, although they remain hopeful that the situation will change.
