Carl L. Myers
As a teenager my days were spent with my BSA B33 (as well as 7 other motorcycle makes and a Crosley Hotshot) tearing up the streets of the Smokey City, Pittsburgh PA. Racing on the weekends in local Scrambles and Enduros was my life. Then a five year stint in the Navy as an AMS-2 (Tin bender) prepared me for entry into the motorcycle business.
Starting as owner of my first motorcycle shop, Pittsburgh Honda Inc., then on to U.S. Suzuki as a District Manager, I wanted to be in the motorcycle business. I then went back into the retail world of Honda with my next dealership, B.C. Sports in Medford OR. After the sale of that dealership I went to work with Bombardier Ltd as the Director of Spare Parts in Montreal Canada. Five years later of mostly deep snow, I moved on. My next stop was S&W Engineered Products in Anaheim California and that is where I meet Martin Waide. Five exciting years spent in the motorcycle aftermarket and located in Southren California would again have me working with Martin Waide at Leading Systems, an aircraft company and the maker of the early U.S. Airforce Predator RPV. Two additional jobs allowed Martin and I to work together. I spent three more years in government contract purchasing and on the side creating two of my own toy companies making ride-on pedal airplane and pedal cars. Looking for a new location to operate found me in Oregon once again.
This rapid movement through the motorcycle industry, and purchasing gave me a background unique in the trade. My next major project was to start my own small mail order and internet business for selling PanaVise Products (panaviseonline.com). After 30 years in the motorcycle and aero trades I was ready to settle down.
In 2004 while helping Martin work on the introduction of an aircraft being brought to the Sport Aircraft market, I made a suggestion to Martin that we team up and create Cy-Car LLC. The basis of this idea was to pull our talents and introduce a three wheeled car which had solid engineering and style while maintaining a strong retail and dealership program and concentrate on the sports car and motorcycle market. With Martin’s knowledge and skill in engineering automotive systems and engines and my knowledge in sales and marketing, I thought we were a good match. So began the early talks and design ideas which have been the basis for the TigerCat 3V2 Cycle Car.
In the summer of 2008 two companies were established. Cy-Car, Sales & Marketing of which I am the owner, and Cy-Car, Components, which is owned by Martin Waide. These two companeys will join and become Cy-Car Inc. at a future date (Cy-Car Inc. became a reality in March 2011). The joint working relationship will have this three wheeled project designed, tested and on the road in early 2013.
Attracting the best of two worlds, automobile and motorcycle, the TigerCat 3V2 will gather great attention. Designed to be a fun two passenger cruiser and touring car, with a design element that is known and loved by American auto and motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere. Designed to have the best of Cruiser motorcycle and Hot Rod automotive style and performance the TigerCat is sure to please.
