His ability to steer start-ups from ideas to profits is highly valued by Founders and Investors.

Martin Windmill Mechanical Engineer & Chassis Dynamist At the age of thirteen, in 1967, Martin had a vision. He wanted a bicycle that could take him whereever he wanted to go, on road or off road, 26" off road tires, flat bars, and derailer gears. He realized if you want something special you must build it yourself, and invented what the mountain bike became ten years later. His main passion since the age of fourteen has been chassis design where, "Slot cars were my lab rats." Miniature scale slot cars allowed him to rapidly prototype and evolve design that was not feasible in full scale. Martin was an avid bicyclist in high school and by the time he reached Twickenham Art College had graduated to motorcycles. In college, he was provided the space to think outside the box and escape from the British "brick in the wall" syndrome. Can-do thinking and custom motorcyles led him to California where he started independently designing and building custom and racing motorcycles. This lead him to Kosman Specialties where he worked for 32 years, perfecting his craft and working with the top motorcycle race teams and racers. High points include designing concept motorcycles for Confederate Motorcycles, Honda R&D, American Eagle, American Iron Horse, Mission Motors, Corbin Motors and Performance Machine. Racing motorcycles include NHRA Prostock Buells and NHRA Prostock Suzukis. He also built many funny bikes, Land Speed Record setting bikes, AMA and AFM racing motorcycles.   As easy as it is for him to get lost in the design and construction of high performance motorcycles, he has always had passion for more responsible modes of transportation. When he got the opportunity to help the Pi team develop a range of Pi electric vehicle, bicycles, and transition into production, it was clear he was home.
