Welcome to the home of BAT Cycles!
We're a British bespoke bicycle company based in Littlehampton, West Sussex.
Sadly due to the pandemic, our staff are furloughed and we won't be building any bikes until late Spring. There are a few clearance bikes left from the summer stock available on our site for immediate shipping.
Grab a bargain now!
We'll list new bikes when we're back in production again. Follow us on social media for current news and updates.
Stay safe everyone!
Grab a bargain with end of season stock. A few minor scuffed & scratched blue bikes to go. Colour is RAL 5015 SKY BLUE, readily available on eBay. No dents or mechanical issues, just paint chips here and there.
This bike has scratches or marks on it. For specifics and pictures please email us! Due to the blemishes this bike is now discounted by £60
Photos depict samples of damage, chips across bikes may vary.
This is our Men's Mountain Bike with 26 x 4.0 Mountain or x3.0 wide road tyres on a 17” frame. This bike is suitable for men 5’8 to 6'7" tall. Don't be put off by the frame being 17", the tyres are so huge that honestly no one would fit on the bike if it was larger! My husband in the photos (on our black model) is 6'1 and he has the seat up about an inch.
It's called a Daub Blue, named for the Daubenton Bats that love and live near the water. These Free-tailed family of bats have the fastest horizontal speed (as opposed to stoop diving speed) of any animal, reaching top ground speeds over 100 mph!
In case you're wondering what all this has to do with bikes, our cycles are all named after incredible bats. (We donate 10% of our net profits to bat sanctuaries--good fact to know as you're not just buying yourself something wonderful, you're helping wonderful creatures too.)
But more about the bicycycle, eh?
The frame is a sealed shaft so can handle extra weight as can the tyres--they are a massive 4" wide on our Mountain Bike and 3" wide on our Road version. If you're of a larger stature, this is a good option for you.
We took our time working with parts manufacturers to pick what we felt were good value for money components, giving us the ability to build a bike that is solid but also sensibly priced. The frame is lightweight steel but strong, and comes with Shimano suspension front fork and back disc brakes. Don't expect them to be equivalent to the best out there, but we are proud of them, we build each one here in Littlehampton, test it and box it ourselves. Custom options available.
If you’re looking for a bike that’s fun, this is the bike for you. We believe in being a good company, and we want our customers to be happy.
These bikes are being sold AS IS with minor surface damage. Please understand that these are clearance bikes and all sales are final. However, also note that if you're super unhappy with the damage (none are that bad but it may happen) we'll absolutely swap it out for another bike for the cost of postage.
Ships with APC Couriers. Bikes tend to arrive within 5 business days of ordering.

The bicycle is a simple solution to some of the world's most complicated problems. A bicycle is good for the environment, good for your health, good for mental clarity and good for the soul. How many things can you say that about?
And on the subject of good, we're good people. So if you're going to buy a bicycle, buy it from us. We'll make sure you're happy and if you're not, we'll make it right.
So sit back and enjoy the ride. Life is better on a fat tyre.
