The car valve , also known as a Schrader valve , is one of the most commonly used valves in the bicycle sector – especially on city bikes, trekking bikes, and many e-bikes. It owes its name to its identical design to valves used in cars.
The Schrader valve is named after the American company Schrader. Founded in the 19th century by August Schrader, the company developed valves for the emerging automotive industry.
Structure and Function
The Schrader valve consists of a robust valve body with an internal valve pin. This pin is held closed by spring pressure and only opens during inflation or under targeted pressure. This makes the valve particularly robust and less susceptible to contamination.
Advantages of the car valve
Easy to use: No unscrewing required – simply inflate directly
High compatibility: Works with almost any air pump and at gas stations.
Robustness: Resistant to dirt and mechanical stress
Limited air pressure: Less suitable for very high pressures (e.g., racing bike tires).
Larger valve hole required: Not ideal for narrow rims
