# Fuss-Free Tire Inflators The Air Pot Blows Up Your Wheels With the Simple Press of a Button By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-pot References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/12/19/easy-air-pump/) A surprising combination of dexterity and muscle is required when using the typical air pump, but such strengths are not required if you have the Air Pot on hand. Designed by Gisuke Tokuyama, this [automatic tire-inflating contraption](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-air-compressor) reduces the necessary steps to maintaining your wheels, and it does so in a nice [compact package](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apo5c). The disc-shaped device is a great deal less awkward to store than the telescopic post with its loose cord. The rounded shell of this invention actually integrates a retractable coil storage for the tube. When your bike or your wheelchair are in need of a boost, just insert the tip of the Air Pot into the tiny valve. Choose your preferred pressure and let this [motorized gizmo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flextails-tiny-pump-3x) do the rest of the work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Automatic Tire-inflating Contraptions:** The Air Pot introduces a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional air pumps by automating the process of inflating tires. - **Compact and Portable Tire Inflators:** The Air Pot's disc-shaped design with integrated coil storage makes it easy to store and carry, offering a compact and portable solution for tire inflation. - **Simplified Tire Maintenance:** The Air Pot simplifies the process of maintaining tires by reducing the necessary steps and streamlining the inflation process. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Accessories:** The automotive accessories industry can explore opportunities to develop and market innovative tire inflators like the Air Pot to improve the convenience and efficiency of tire maintenance. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can leverage compact and portable tire inflators like the Air Pot to enhance the convenience and accessibility of inflating tires for bicycles, wheelchairs, and other outdoor equipment. - **Home Improvement:** The home improvement industry can consider incorporating automated tire-inflating contraptions like the Air Pot as part of their product offerings, providing consumers with simplified options for maintaining their vehicle tires. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cordless Handheld Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tire-inflator.md) - [Ultra-Speedy Tire Inflation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-iron-one-pro.md) - [Portable Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Ventus-Pro.md) - [Multifunctional Tire Air Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-air-pump.md) - [Automated Pocket-Sized Air Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-air-pump.md) - [Ultra-Compact Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pump.md) - [Palm-Sized Light-Up Motorbike Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lingmou.md) - [Handheld Touchscreen Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cordless-tire-inflator.md) - [Smart-Designed Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartdesigned-tire-inflator.md)
