About the author

Kyle Cutler
My earliest recollection of the bug, was when I was a kid living in Yellowwood Park, Durban – 33 Warbler Way, to be exact 😁 I remember using an outside room, downstairs next to the garage, as my own private kid-cave, where I would repair my bicycle, skateboards and whatever else I thought needed fixing. I used an old television antenna as a rack for my bearings, wheels and tools. As I got older and when we moved to Ixopo in the Midlands, is when things really got interesting. Living in a farming community, an off-road bike was mandatory, and so was maintaining it. I quickly made friends with slightly older guys in the town who either were mechanics or auto-electricians. I would work in their shops after school and weekends, and bump ideas off them like building an electric powered go-cart with a motor, a battery and an alternator – I was adamant that as long as the go-cart was moving the alternator would charge the battery and I’d have a self charging go-cart that never stopped 💡 let me remind you…. there was no internet back then, and I did not understand things like Einstein’s Relativity and stuff, but hey, don’t knock me for trying. I’m sure if I dig deep enough I’ll find my old drawings of it. And so I evolved, to mechanic, auto electrician, entrepreneur, business owner and now “web designer”. One thing has never changed though and that’s the will to succeed and find a solution to the problem at hand 🛠
