1. A method for tire inflation, comprising:
determining a tire pressure for a tire on a wheel; and
based on the tire pressure, dynamically maintaining a position of an offset mass, rotatably connected to the wheel and operably connected to a reciprocating pump that is fluidly connected to the tire, within a range of non-zero angles relative to a gravity vector using an electric motor.
