Battistinis, Broken but not beaten . . . . .



Battistinis, Broken but not beaten . . . . .


The lovely weather that is currently battering the whole of England may well be destroying and flooding everything in its path and we got hit last night. Today we had the joy of one of our signs that has stood over the shop for years smashed to pieces, lucky then that we still have our 40 foot custom painted monster sign left intact!


A few years ago we could have opted for some generic computer generated horror but as we like to do things with a twist away from the norm we opted for a spray can commission from the multi talented 54crew. This sign took the crew of five over a week to create using nothing apart from a truck load of Belton spray paint, a few crates of beer(quite a few actually) and there amazing talents. Everyone that dropped by the shop when this was being created was amazed that no stencils, computers, pencils or masking tape were used, just skill and spray paint!


We still hear from all the boyos who put their skill on the walls here and its great to hear that one of the originators now has a collection of some of his solo canvases and walls now online, does it really get any better than these!?!?! We think not!

A name you will hear a lot more of in the future, we think so too!



Enjoy!

Battistinis classic custom motorcycle,. . . . .


Battistinis classic custom motorcycle,. . . . .

Think of a Battistini Custom and what comes up in your mind?

If it contains thoughts that are of urber classics that are long, low, mean and utter stylish in every essence watch this very space as we are creating one that will not only blow your mind but will show you what we are all about!


A true Battistini motorcycle is one that strikes up a reaction, a creation of a labour of love and one that will become a true testimony of time. Fads come and go but work has just commenced on a very true Battistini build which is going to be oozing in style and truly stand the test of time!


As you may see on our newly re-vamped website we have a new format for our bike gallery, however currently we only have a handful of bikes from the hundreds that we have worked on and built. This is where we need you!!!!! If you have a bike that we have wrenched on at some point or built on from scratch WE NEED YOUR PICTURES OF IT for all to enjoy on our website!!!!


Please end one or even a couple thru to design@battistinis.co.uk and keep your eyes peeled to the website gallery!

See the gallery here: http://www.battistinis.co.uk/index.php?pIDref=103-Cycles

Many thanks in advance!

Battistinis, Jenson Button drives for McLaren . . . . . .


Battistinis, Jenson Button drives for McLaren . . . . . .

A bit of four wheels rather than two but when it involves the first time in Formula One history that a team has started the new season with a line-up featuring the two most recent world champions, and is the first pairing of two British world champions since Graham Hill partnered Jim Clark at Lotus in 1968 it has just got to be posted here!

Jenson Button vowed to make the United Kingdom proud after joining Lewis Hamilton at McLaren to form an all-British line-up. Jenson added, "It's fantastic that we'll be forming an all-British line-up. I know that we both fly the flag with pride and I sincerely hope we can make the whole of the United Kingdom, as well as Vodafone McLaren Mercedes fans across the world, proud."

Good luck to you both JB and Lewis for the twentyten season as we know its gonna be a cracker that’s for sure!

Battistinis, Nicolai £5,200 electric bike . . . . . . .

Battistinis, Nicolai £5,200 electric bike . . . . . . .

A German designer has developed a €5,877 (approx £5,200/US$8,750) electric bike with help from Karl-Heinz Nicolai, who's more famous for his full-suspension mountain bikes.


Grace is billed as the 'world's first street legal e-motorbike'. It has two rear hub-mounted motors, powered by lithium ion batteries stored inside the frame, that produce 1,300w and can propel it at up to 45km/h (28mph).

It still has pedals and a chain, but designer Michael Hecken says that to ride it in the EU you'll need to wear a helmet and have motor liability insurance.

To comply with EU regulations, Grace has certified electric engines, brakes, tyres, headlights, rear light, brake light and horn. It's only specced with motors up to 48v. However, in theory you could bump the voltage up to 96v which would give you a top speed of 70km/h (43mph).


The frame is hand-made at Nicolai's factory in Lubbrechtsen from aircraft grade 7020 and 7005 aluminium. The massively oversized tubes (the down tube is 78mm in diameter) contain all the cables and the bike's Energy Storage System Module (ESSM) – 60 Li-ion cells arranged into five stacks.

Three different frames designs are available – Race, City or Universal – and there's a choice of three different motors – Sport, Flat or Mountain. Prices start at €5,877 (approx £5,200/US$8,750). Buyers can choose between 67 powder coated or anodised colours. For more details, see www.grace.de, or check outthe video below.

Battistinis, Volume Bikes Tate Roskelley . . . . .

Some of us here like to ride a 20” kid sized bike as much as a bike with a V-Twin bolted into it. With that being the case this great web edit being a true breath of fresh air from the usual backflip type videos we see online. From the hoop sunk at the beginning to the manual through the swings at the end its all about innovation on a BMX and simply put, this rocks!
