My wife and I have the Gazelle Ultimate C380+ e-bikes that have Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires.

I used my Milwaukee M12 compact Inflator to add air, but I wasn't too happy with the Presta adapter that comes with he Milwaukee inflator.

Anyway, can anybody here recommend a suitable bike pump.

Are they all the same or are some better than others?

I know that there are Presta valve adapter that convert Presta to Schrader, but I assume that they aren't meant to leave on long term.


 
I take my adapters on and off each fill. There are air guns for presta valves, just haven't got one yet. I do have a presta pressure gauge that I really like.

I had a flat that LBS took care of. I had him check; Schrader tubes do fit the wheel hole.
 
I just leave the Schrader adapters on my Gazelle Arroyo. I know it isn't recommended to do that, but after 4 years and 2000 miles, it hasn't really caused me any problems. So for me, I guess convenience has won out over best practice. I check / top off tire pressures pretty regularly but I don't think the Schrader adapters are causing any leakage or other issues.
