Morgan Motor Company and Pashley Cycles are celebrating Morgan’s 110th year with the launch of the Pashley-Morgan 110 Limited Edition bicycle. The companies’ design teams have worked together to create a unique bike that marks a fitting tribute to this significant anniversary.
The launch of the Pashley-Morgan 110 Limited Edition continues the already successful partnership between Morgan and Pashley. It follows the release of the Pashley-Morgan 3 and 8 models, introduced in 2018, which have captured the imagination of customers from both companies around the world.
Reflecting the anniversary, production will be limited to just 110 examples, each individually numbered with speedometer-inspired headset cap. Each bicycle will be hand built at Pashley’s Stratford-upon-Avon factory and retail in the UK for £1,750. Orders can be placed from the 4th September with first deliveries scheduled for November 2019.

It was an honour to have current World and European Champion Hurdler, Andrew Pozzi, in to visit the Pashley team in Stratford-upon-Avon today. Pozzi qualified for Team GB in the London 2012 Olympics but was disappointed by a hamstring injury forcing him to pull out of the 110m heats. He started his career at Stratford Athletic Club, a mere 600m from the Pashley factory.
We gave Pozzi a behind the scenes tour of the Pashley factory and he had some fun testing out some of our bicycles, including our Edinburgh Hire Bike, the Guv’nor, and our latest venture with Morgan - the ‘Pashley-Morgan 8’.

The first of the Edinburgh Bike hire bikes, sponsored by ‘Just Eat’, were unveiled on Monday 17th, September, on the streets of Edinburgh by Mark Beaumont, ultra-endurance British cyclist, and council leader, Adam McVey. The initial offering includes 200 bikes across 19 locations in Central Edinburgh, with a three-year concession agreement that plans to deliver 1,000 bikes, including 100 e-bikes.
The bikes, designed and built by Pashley Cycles, have been given names that reference Scottish history and culture, among these Sherlock and Greyfriar. The cycles afford superior handling and ride quality, with high quality Shimano gears and brakes, comfortable gel saddle, front and rear LED lights, full length mudguards, puncture resistant tyres and a step through frame allowing ease of use for all cyclists regardless of height.
After the success of the new generation Santander Cycles in London, Pashley have once again partnered with Serco for this project working towards a new mobility solution for cities. The cycles feature an adapted gearing system to tackle the hills of Edinburgh, as well as a new, innovative hybrid lock, which allows secure ‘dockless’ parking within a virtual geo-fenced zone.

On Saturday 14th, postmen Keith Elgar, Graham Hill, Richard Wood & Luke Elgar summited the notorious Alpe d'Huez (Le Tour de France) on their 3 speed Pashley Royal Mail Bikes, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. It involved over 13km of relentless riding up to a height of 1815m. They completed the climb in just under 1:30 hours, stopping only once to refill drink bottles at ‘dutch corner’.
Keith mentioned “Our concern whilst driving up the day before to our hotel at the summit was that some sections were too steep for the 3 speed Pashley however they served us brilliantly and despite our legs screaming at us, the post bikes were more than up to the challenge. We now cannot wait to watch le Tour de France stage at Alpe d'Huez on Thursday to watch the pros follow in our pedal strokes.”
Many congratulations to the riders from all at Pashley. If you would like to support their challenge, please visit their fund raising page: Alp d'Huez Challenge
