Interested how long you have been testing this for because we had a virtually identical (also scoprega) one about 18 months ago. For about the first 10 months I would agree with your review but then after less than 12 months light use (part pumping 2 boards once per week) ours failed terminally without warning. When we took it apart to see what was wrong with it (partner is a mechanical engineer) the build quality / quality of materials scoprega have used inside was poor and not up to the job. Plastic teeth had sheered off the cogs, you can’t… Read more »
Hmm.. not good to hear. We tested it for about 4 months so not as long as you? Thanks for letting us know about the failed pump and your inspection of it too. We were told that Bravo have spare parts now to send out to broken pumps but Im not sure which parts. We were also told that the pump we reviewed had new changed internally parts too. Maybe this was the part upgrade? Have you tried contacting Bravo/ Scoprega about the spare part recently? Thanks again for sharing this with us but sorry to hear it. I will… Read more »
Thanks Reuben that’s helpful. Even with lock down we did get more months than you so far. We asked scoprega about parts at the time (other half reckons it would cost literally pence for the plastic cog which failed) and were told they don’t sell parts. I might try my luck again then as don’t think we’ve got round to driving the remaining bits to the tip yet.
Yes please try again and let us know. Thanks Reuben

I’ve had 4 bravo pumps and only one lasted more than a year. They are great for the first few months but very expensive if you need a new one every year. Bravo do offer a repair service but you have to pay for postage and return from Italy. There are better and cheaper 20 psi pumps on the market now.
Hey Rick , Thanks for the comment. We find it a bit of a challenge regarding testing e pumps. Using them for a longer period is really the only way to get a good understanding, so from now on we try and use them for about six months. This isn’t the best if you need to try and get information out to you all quickly but I think it’s the only way regarding electric pumps. Thanks again for the comment, keep ripping. Reuben
