Five years ago we were psyched with Muc-Off’s bike-specific pressure washer – yet with one important fixed limitation – but now that’s history with the new self-contained, battery-powered Muc-Off Mobile Pressure Washer. Ride anywhere. Clean you bike anywhere. No longer stuck looking for an electrical outlet to plug into. No longer limited to where you can connect a hose to a faucet.
The new Mobile Bike Pressure Washer is completely self-sufficient, with 40v rechargeable battery power and enough water in its reservoir to clean a few bikes!
Muc-Off Mobile Bike Pressure Washer cleans bikes anywhere
Muc-off calls their new Mobile Bike Pressure Washer its “latest world’s first innovation”. But really, it sounds like a bit of a stretch to call a portable pressure washer something entirely new, right? I’ve already got one sitting in my mud room, right now.
But what Muc-Off has done is actually pretty new. They’ve created a compact and portable high-powered pressure washer tailored specifically for the needs of cyclists. That means it is powerful, but won’t blow the seals off your bearings. And it includes the specialty Snow Foam Lance, which is simply a soap sprayer attachment that screws on a 1L bottle of their popular pink Nanotech cleaner to quickly coat your bike in fast-acting, mud-eating soap bubbles.
Why does a bike washer need to be mobile?
Where do I most often clean my bike? At home. Do I have power and water at home? Yes. But as a cyclist, I also lived for two decades in an apartment that did not have easy outside power and water access.
And even now, I feel like I most often clean my bike in the coldest, wettest months. And that’s when I either have the outside faucet shut down so it doesn’t freeze in the winter. Or I would much prefer to clean my bike outside with warm water. And I do not have hot water on tap on the outside of my house.
Plus, sometimes I travel to ride muddy trails far from home.
And it’s super nice to blast most mud off bikes before packing back into the car/van for the drive home. I also know many people who live & ride in sensitive forest ecosystems. Where they clean bikes at the end of every ride away from home, lest they bring back something on their tires that could damage their local natural environment.
Keep your mud at the trail.
Tech details
The Muc-Off mobile pressure washer is powered by a cordless drill style 40v x 2.5Ah (90Wh) lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Which Muc-Off says will run for a full 24 minutes of continuous cleaning time in Eco mode (15 mins in Boost mode). And it recharges in 3-4 hours.
The pressure washer itself is driven by a 500W brushless motor, which puts out a max 942.5psi water pressure in Boost mode. That’s 2x as powerful as other portable pressure washers, according to Muc-Off. So it should get all the gunk off your bike. All that in a IPX5-rated case that won’t mind if you spray more than your bike.
Output Pressure:
- Standard Mode: 45 Bar (652psi)
- Eco Mode: 35 Bar (507psi)
- Max Pressure: 65 Bar (942psi)
Output Water Flow:
- Boost Mode: 3.3 L/min
- Eco Mode: 2.5 L/min
- Max Flow: 4.0 L/min
The Mobile Bike Pressure Washer has a built-in 20L water tank, with an integrated water filter. It comes with the same interchangeable 3 sprayer attachments as the original. Including the Snow Foam head to cover your bike with suds and blast it clean.
The whole setup is portable on 2 big off-road & 2 small built-in wheels and a fold-down handle, plus a claimed weight of just 7.66kg. So it should be easy to move around. But don’t forget it gets another 20kg heavier when you fill it up with water.
Plus, they sell an optional extra 20L tank that you can use to easily refill the mobile pressure washer, and double the amount of bikes you can clean at once. You can also buy extra batteries separately if you plan on washing a ton of bikes at once, far from home.
Muc-Off also makes a big optional 65L drybag that you can drop the Mobile Bike Pressure Washer and all its accessories inside to keep things organized on the go.
