thanks in advance
The A-bike's tyres use standard Schrader valves, therefore you can use a standard bike pump on it. However, it's important to maintain the correct tyre pressure for the A-bike, so I think you should choose a pump with a pressure gauge. Moreover, the inner tube will be torn easily if you pull out the valve too much when you are inflating the tyre, so I recommend you to use a pump with hose.
This is the pump which I use to inflate my A-bike's tyres.
