Meet the Team
Monkey Bike UK are very experienced in the world of Monkey Bikes. We have been collecting bikes, selling them & building a vast catalogue of spares and accessories for many years.

David Blackwell

Here's the man that started it all - our Head Keeper, David Blackwell the Monkey Maestro. He might not look much like Jane Goodall, but you'll go a long way to find such an authority on all things MONKEY!

"I have a great love of this Honda Monkey engine. There is a tremendous thrill in obtaining high power from it. I gained much of my inspiration from Tom Cole and from the Monkey boys in Germany. There are some very clever Monkey tuning experts there including Mr Georg Clemm, my mentor in the early days of Monkey tuning and a great friend."

"My very good friend, Tom Cole, is undoubtedly the No. 1 Monkey collector & authority on Monkey Bikes in the world. We acknowledge his tremendous assistance & support in the starting of Monkey Bike UK."
