Kevin Manning
The Pump-Hub creator, Kevin Manning, has been an avid cyclist for over 30 years, and an active member of a local bicycle club, the Oakland Yellowjackets. He earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from San Francisco State University and designed and manufactured groundwater environmental cleanup pumps fresh out of college.
While looking at a bike pump, it occurred to him that the easiest way to pump up a tire would be to not have to pump it up at all – to use the wheel and its rotation to do the work. The result is the Pump Hub: design as an automatic, adjustable pressure tire-inflation system that sits right in the hub of your wheel.
