TIL my old bike pump is useless for e-bike tires

I pulled out my dad's 20 year old floor pump last week to top off my new e-bike tires and the gauge stopped at 40 psi when they need 65. The valve head just wouldn't seat right on the Presta adapter either, so I spent 20 minutes fighting it before giving up. Anyone else run into old gear that can't handle newer battery bike stuff, and did you find a cheap pump that actually works?

Brutal is right. I'd have tossed it out the window too.

Fighting with that old gauge for 20 minutes sounds brutal, I feel your pain.
