U-Man Power is pleased to announce the addition of Josh Gillette to the shop. Josh has an extensive background in the interwebs and social media as well as being a darned good electronics technician. He has been hanging with us at the shop for awhile and is an up and coming bike mechanic. Josh wants to do bicycle design and mechanics and is working towards that by apprenticing at the shop and will be taking formal schooling at Appalachian Bicycle Institute.We are excited to have Josh here. He is an avid e-bike fan and that is where his expertise lies....

  We were wanting Trident in here for a couple years but through our own mess up, placed ourselves in a situation where we could not have them.  We kept getting inquiries for folding trikes but could not supply that segment. With the recent changes in dealer territory policy at Trident we are now able to offer them.   We have a new Trident Titan in stock right now.   This trike is made for bigger riders and can accommodate someone up to 400#.   More pictures of this later.

 Traffic is way UP in the shop.  But too many tire kickers.  To transform you from a tire kicker into a buyer.....we are taking $60 off any trike or e-bike in the shop until September 30.  

 U-Man Power is now the Knoxville area dealer for Hummingbikes.  We will have 8 of these bikes in the shop after Thursday.  These bikes are legal to ride in Cades Cove.  The National Park Service has told us that it is ok to ride them during the 'no cars' times in the Cove!!!   Four of the bikes are folders so you can rent them and take them in your trunk!!!!!!  The other four are cruiser types. The new bikes can run at 18mph for 1 hour.  But we don't recommend using them this way.  We will be adding a rental...

 We have had a placeholder on our domain for the past year. We are so excited to introduce our new website.  Please look it over.  We have separated our merchandise into Recumbents for Sale, Parts and Accessories, Apparel, and Rentals. Please visit us soon in Townsend!!!!!! Also visit our sister site at        http://www.Edgerecumbents.com
