About the owners — The brothers

Ken and Bill

Kenny Francis

Ken Francis began his career in the motorcycle industry over 35 years ago at his family’s custom motorcycle shop in St. Louis, MO, working alongside his brother Bill. It wasn’t long before he was competing on the drag racing circuit in the All-Harley Drags, gaining hands-on experience that would serve as his own version of a "university" education—one that led him deep into the world of design and manufacturing.

From the late 1990s through 2008, Ken played a pivotal role in launching two high-performance aftermarket engine brands, along with a wide range of performance and custom parts for the Harley-Davidson aftermarket. He served in key executive roles, including Vice President of Engineering and Vice President of Sales and Marketing, gaining a well-rounded education in both the technical and business sides of the industry—especially in product life cycle management.

Following the 2008 economic downturn, Ken seized an opportunity to develop a new line of mini bikes and go-karts for a major U.S. retail chain under a newly created brand. As Vice President of Product Development, he led the charge in designing and bringing these products to market. In the years since, Ken has gone on to design and oversee production for several of the largest OEM brands in the mini bike and go-kart space. If you've ever purchased one from a big-box retailer, there’s a good chance it was designed by Kenny.

In 2015 a design idea change opened an opportunity for Burromax to come to life as the “better product” in the small electric mini bike market. Burromax is now a growing company with a passion to create a better product that we hope you will enjoy using as much as we do producing them.

Bill Francis

Bill Francis began his journey in the motorcycle industry during his sophomore year of high school when he enrolled in the Small Engine Repair program at North County Tech in St. Louis, MO. That experience marked the start of a motorcycle career that has spanned over 40 years.

One of his greatest achievements was developing and marketing the Road Worx Sub Shock frame alongside Bill Davis, also from St. Louis. In 1981, this innovative product was purchased by Willie G. Davidson himself, directly from their family motorcycle shop in St. Louis. That frame would later become the foundation for the Harley-Davidson Softail, officially launched in 1984. In fact, it's believed that the motorcycle sold to Davidson also inspired the creation of the iconic “Fat Boy.”

In 2015, Bill began collaborating with Kenny on overseas projects that eventually evolved into Burromax. Since then, he has played an active role in design, product development, and customer care.

If you've ever attended an NHRA event—or any event where Burromax is a vendor—chances are you've met "Billy." With decades of hands-on experience, Bill is a key figure in the company and our go-to expert for Technical Services today.
