The air hose that comes with the vehicle is too bulky to be able to connect to the valves of my kids’ bikes (12 and 14 inch wheels). I probably lack the proper search terms, so Amazon has been unhelpful – has anyone a recommendation for an elbow adapter or similar that I can use for kids bike tires (one schrader, one presta) with the air compressor hose?

Save yourself the headache of getting that hose out and messing with those fittings and buy a proper bike pump. https://www.topeak.com/us/en/product/1079-JOEBLOW-SPORT-III

Trust me, I'm a cyclist and it is the only way to go.

These pumps are going to be an expensive headache in the years to come when they STB from all the cycling they will be doing and they will make the bike pump cost look like pennies.

I added one of those (among other air compressor accessories) to my kit and it’s been great for filling bike tires.

This looks like it needs other accessories to attach, right? Guess I'll have to go to a shop and physically look at the things.

Oh I have one, I bike as well, but it's kinda embarrassing to have the compressor and then being unable to inflate a simple bike tire. 😁

It’s an ARB compressor, they‘re very high quality.

I’m a cyclist and I’m not dragging around one of my floor pumps when there’s a perfectly good air compressor available.

Go to Harbor Freight and look at the item I linked. All the other accessories you need are going to be in that same section, within arms length.

Here's some pics of the air accessory kit I built. It's been quite helpful, to me. I use it for sports equipment and bikes, all the time.
