STEERING WHEELS

From the day the business started, each and every steering wheel we’ve made has been made by hand. We take a pride in our avoidance of hi-tech gadgetry. We don’t profile our wheels with lasers, we cut or press them. A robotic arm doesn’t spray our varnish on; it’s applied, coat-by-coat by hand with a beautifully effective low-tech brush. To some this might sound old-fashioned and inefficient. Sure, it takes time, but that’s what we do - we take our time, so that every handmade steering wheel leaving our workshop in Thruxton is worthy of carrying the Moto-Lita name. We wouldn’t have it any other way, and we wouldn’t supply you with any lesser degree of quality.
