Moto Morini was founded in 1937 by Alfonso Morini in Bologna, Italy. In the late 1940s and 1950s, Moto Morini also began to participate in racing competitions. In fact, Italian GP motorcycle racing legend Giacomo Agostini began his racing career on a Moto Morini Settebello “Short Rods” in 1961. the company, first with 350 cc models, and later with 500 cc models. In the early 1980s, declining sales and labor disputes plagued Moto Morini, and in 1987 the company was sold to Cagiva, which had also acquired Ducati a year before.

In 1999, Motori Franco Morini, founded by Alfonso Morini’s nephew in 1954, bought the Moto Morini brand from Ducati. The company was revived in 2005, but went into liquidation in 2010, following which the brand passed to new ownership in 2011. In October 2018, Moto Morini changed hands again and became part of the Chinese Zhongneng Vehicle Group, a motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1988. The company has four different brands and manufactures motorcycles, ATVs, scooters, mopeds and electric scooters.

Want to wear your LGBTQIA+ pride on your sleeve? Or maybe on the lapel of your jacket? Designer Yu Sheng Teo has what you need! In this episode of Pink Money, host Teraj (@teraj08) sits down with Yu Sheng to talk about his brand Heckin’ Unicorn (@heckin.unicorn). Heckin’ Unicorn is a Singapore-based, gay-owned brand that makes a variety of stylish pride accessories, from socks to pins!

Yu Sheng was inspired to start Heckin’ Unicorn after feeling uninspired by the existing line of pride accessories. “It started as a side project,” the company owner told Teraj. “I had seen a few pride pins and pride merchandising designs and to be honest they all looked like pride flags, just in different shapes. So I started designing pins.

At first, Heckin’ Unicorn’s pins were subtle. Many featured cute animals or inanimate objects sporting different LGBTQIA+ colors. “But, of course, over time the designs started to become less and less subtle,” Yu Sheng recalls. “We’ve had a lot of pronoun pins and ‘Queer AF’ designs that aren’t really so subtle anymore.”

Today, Heckin’ Unicorn sells a wide range of pins, socks and other accessories. But while they constantly release new products, Heckin’ Unicorn’s designs are always playful and positive, serving as a celebration of the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Yu Sheng tells Teraj that he likes to make clever puns when designing his pins. “A lot of pin designs are based on puns and jokes,” he explains. “An example of a pun, I suppose, is the pancake pin. He sports the colors of pansexual pride, but to the average person he looks like a pancake. We have a bi bike hairpin. And, again, it’s a pun on the word bi, and it just has bi pride colors.

Other Heckin’ Unicorn designs aim to make members of the LGBTQIA+ community feel safe. “It’s the ‘They/Them’ pin,” Yu Sheng said, holding a pin engraved with the words “They/Them.” “The idea of ​​the pronoun pin is quite different from most other pin designs. It should be obvious. Showing our pronouns is a really easy way to show that this is a safe space, you can tell me your pronouns, and I will respect that.

In addition to designing stylish accessories, Yu Sheng uses her platform to speak out on issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community. “Heckin’ Unicorn is actually quite vocal when it comes to queer issues, especially those in Singapore,” says the small business owner. “We will publish articles that really highlight a specific and tangible way in which we are discriminated against by the state. Behind the article we publish, behind every statement we make, it’s like months of research and a lot of thought behind it, to make sure we only publish things that are accurate and correct.

Yu Sheng tells Teraj that pins and socks are just the start of Heckin’ Unicorn. The brand, he explains, has a bright future with many exciting new products in the pipeline. “So we have just launched our first models of earrings. It’s quite exciting,” he says. “And earlier this year, we also just launched our first backpack model. There will be more designs and products we release throughout the year, so stay tuned for that.

The post Heckin’ Unicorn is a gay-owned brand appearing in stylish accessories for the first time on In The Know.

Lucinda Brand (Trek-Segafredo) starts her sprint 200 meters from the finish and wins the opening stage of the Women’s Tour de Suisse. From the breakaway group of three riders, Clara Koppenburg (Cofidis) held off Pauliena Rooijakkers (Canyon-SRAM) at the line to complete the podium in Vaduz, Liechtenstein.

1.5 km from the finish, Brand attacked in the lead but failed to shake off her companions. She opened her last sunset acceleration of the 46km stage late in the day and easily took her first road victory of the season.

Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo) led the chase group well behind the trio to finish fourth, 50 seconds behind.

“It was hard [in the breakaway] at first, but then you get into a rhythm. It was probably easier than riding in the peloton where you constantly have to fight for position; there’s a lot of braking and pushing, which makes for a trickier ride. We found a good rhythm and worked well together,” said Brand.

The three riders broke free 27.6 km from the finish and widened a gap which reached almost a minute. The trio began to lap a few riders with 17km to go as they accelerated the main climb of the day, a leg with gradients above 10%.

7.4km from the finish, Lianne Lippert (Team DSM) attacked to start a chase and was joined by Kristen Faulkner (BikeExchange-Jayco), Soraya Paladin (Canyon-SRAM), Jolanda Neff (Swiss National Team ), Jade Wiel (FDJ Nouvelle -Aquitaine Futuroscope) and her Team DSM teammate Floortje Mackaij.

The trio had widened their gap to 57 seconds with two laps to go. In the chase, Neff and Lippert did a lot of work in the lead going into the final lap and closed the gap to 36 seconds with 3km to go, but couldn’t catch up.

The second edition of the Tour de Suisse Women, from June 18 to 21, opened with 10 laps of a 4.6 km circuit in and around Vaduz, Liechtenstein. The race took place in the evening after stage 7 of the men’s Tour de Suisse had finished earlier in the day, 13 kilometers away in the village of Malbun ski resort.

As the Tour de Suisse ends on Sunday for the men, the women will face a stage 2 time trial in Vaduz, using the same 25.6km course on which the men will compete. Brand will wear the leader’s jersey and be the last rider on the start ramp for the women’s time trial.

“Of course I will try to defend the jersey, but I don’t know how far I can, especially on the last day when we finish uphill. The third day will already be hard, and of course the time trial In terms of climbing, it’s difficult, and we’ll see how it goes. But for sure I’ll try,” she added.

The OX One is a motorcycle that is not unique in its intent, which is to create visuals that bring 1960s nostalgia, while giving the futuristic feel of instant electric torque.

The 11kW power output tells you it’s another 125cc electric equivalent, but its visuals certainly point to an era of – subjectively speaking – better looking two-wheelers.

Without a doubt, the era of bicycles from which the One draws its visual cues was, and is, aesthetically pleasing. But despite the changes since April of last year, when we asked “Is this the worst motorcycle ever made”, whether or not you like the look of the current gen One itself is a different question.

While it may draw inspiration from the past, its large block battery box (the motor sits in the rear wheel hub) that sits within the tubular frame is an aesthetic that could polarize. It’s different, a bit, and the 60s inspiration is clear despite that, but at the same time, it stands out a bit.

Technically speaking, the One’s 11 kW (14.8 horsepower) will allow it to reach a practical speed of 110 km/h, or 68 mph; its load will carry it for 100km; and once the battery is drained, you will need to complete five hours while it charges, during which the battery can be removed.

The “tank” is fake, of course, and provides storage space, and there’s a USB port for charging. On the front, the screen is LCD and you can connect the bike to the Elisa mobile application from OX, which on the one hand allows you to follow your riding statistics and on the other hand can detect when vehicles are close to your bike, notifying the driver via a vibration on one side of the handlebars (depending on the side of the vehicle).

The other cool thing about the OX One is that it’s not the only bike with this setup. OX’s Patagonia Adventure Bike is quite similar and features the same 11kW motor, but the tires and higher ride height mean this bike is built for the roughest terrain.

Compared to the One, the Patagonia has a wider wheelbase (+50 mm); a larger spoked front wheel (19 inches); a higher body height (+50 mm); an adjusted driving position so that the pilot is more upright; and longer travel suspension (+60 mm).

The Patagonia also comes with 14 liters of cargo capacity with the side panniers attached; tank pads; adventure tires; and a screen and grid to protect against rough terrain.

Pricing for the OX One starts at €5200, while you can book a Patagonia from €250.

The Durango bike bag collection features TRUZip toothless zippers and 420d TPU nylon.

Connecting gnarly routes in a multi-sport fashion is all the rage. And for good reason – there’s nothing quite like the feeling of shredding a single track down a gorge and then loading up a raft for some Class III Rapids.

So it’s no surprise that packraft brand Kokopelli is getting into the bike bag game with the Durango Bike Bag collection. The bags are made of 420 denier double-sided TPU nylon and will be available to the public in spring 2023. The collection covers the full range of bikepacking, including a frame bag, handlebar bag, top tube bag and saddle bag. saddle stem.

GearJunkie’s Seiji Ishii previewed the bags at the Summer 2022 Outdoor Retailer Show in Denver this week.

“Over the past 10 years, we’ve learned a lot about how people venture. Combining mountain biking and packrafting in one trip allows people to mix up their approach and access areas that were previously very difficult to access,” explained Kokopelli General Manager and Product Manager Jeff Popp. “Until now, there hasn’t been the right bag system that allows users to go from trail to water and back to trail.”

Popp added: “Our Durango bike bag solves this problem and is a great solution for those who want to paddle and pedal.

Functionality of the waterproof bicycle bag

The Durango Bike Bag collection stands out for its true waterproof capability, which unfortunately is not yet a standard feature of bike bags.

Kokopelli achieves waterproof status with taped seams, TPU coated nylon and the use of TRUZip. TRUZip is a toothless zipper technology that manages to be both waterproof and dustproof, so you should be able to go ahead and tackle whatever standing waves are in front of you.

Horwin is a relatively new electric motorcycle manufacturer that produces electric vehicles designed primarily for urban mobility. The company has been working hard to bring innovation to the increasingly popular, but very experimental, electric motorcycle market. In fact, in 2020, the previous version of the EK3 electric scooter received the Red Dot design award. Now, in 2022, the company continues to innovate by further refining its model range to offer some of the best options in the urban mobility industry.

For starters, the Horwin EK3 is making a comeback. It retains its rounded features, giving the scooter a sense of simplicity and vintage inspiration. Meanwhile, LED lights that criss-cross the shield and tail horizontally give the bike a futuristic edge. The engine produces 6.2 kW of power and can propel the vehicle up to 60 kilometers per hour. According to Horwin, the 40 Ah battery is detachable and recharges in four hours. For added convenience, the underseat compartment is quite spacious and can hold both a spare battery and a helmet. There are four color options: white, red, matte black and grey. The 2022 EK3 has a price of 4,940 euros (5,286 USD).

If the EK3 is too much for you and you want something much simpler and cheaper, the EK1 might be your best alternative. It’s the entry level model, a smaller scooter than the EK3, and it’s L1e certified. Due to its cheaper price, more user-friendly performance, and colorful hues of orange, blue, white, and black, it is aimed at a younger audience. The seating position is upright and comfortable, and the tiny proportions make it a true city dweller. The EK1’s electric motor is rated at 2.8 kW, giving it a top speed of 28 miles per hour. The battery, like the EK3, is a removable 40 Ah unit with the same charging times as the EK3. The price is set at 3,940 euros, or about $4,215.

The SK3 completes the Horwin range of scooters. The angular lines, the high shield and the twin seat of the scooter give it a sporty look. In terms of performance, it can reach 56 miles per hour and has a range of 50 miles. The 36Ah battery recharges in 4h30. The container accommodates a second battery, increasing the advertised range to 100 miles. It costs 4,640 euros (about 4,964 USD) and is available in matte black, gold and blue.

Horwin also makes a cafe racer style variant known as the CR6. This beautiful electric motorcycle is L3e legal, easy to use and weighs only 134 pounds. Its electric motor produces 182 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to reach a top speed of 60 miles per hour. The battery has a capacity of 55Ah and recharges in 3 hours, however it is not detachable. Despite its usual motorcycle appearance, the CR6 sports a glove pocket in its fake tank which also houses a USB port. It costs 6,640 euros, which is equivalent to approximately 7,104 USD.

Former Nike designer and outdoor industry veteran George Nelson has launched Kansept1 (sounds like “concept”), a new cycling apparel company.

George T. Nelson (“GTN”)

Nelson’s apparel design resume includes brands like Pearl Izumi, Patagonia, DaKine, Fox Racing, Merrell and others. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, then moved from Boulder, Colorado to Portland in 2004 to work as a senior apparel designer for Nike’s All Conditions Gear (ACG) brand.

The company’s initial offerings include a selection of jerseys ($120), bib shorts ($175), socks and t-shirts for men and women. The collections went live last week.

Nelson says Kansept1 brings two of his passions – cycling (especially its competitive side) and product design – “come full circle”. “I started bicycle racing when I was living in New York in the late 80s and early 90s,” Nelson shared in an email yesterday. “For most of my time in New York, I didn’t own a car, so my bike allowed me to escape the weekends out of town on long club rides and errands to the county. from Westchester and Nyack and down to Long Island and New Jersey.”

Nelson, now 58, still loves to ride and run and still designs products that he would wear. When asked how he would describe Kansept1’s aesthetic, Nelson replied, “It’s always hard to answer without sounding a little pretentious, isn’t it? But I guess it would be “modern classics”.

Cycling apparel is a fiercely competitive market and Nelson will fight for customers with brands like Rapha, MAAP, Le Col, Eliel and many more. It’s a far cry from Nelson’s debut in Pearl Izumi. “There were really only a handful of bona fide players in the industry, and to be honest, they really weren’t doing a great job on the style and fashion side,” he says. “Today’s rider is more sophisticated and better informed and demands more choice, style and quality.”

Kansept1’s debut collection is road/gravel focused, but Nelson says a much bigger offering is in the works.

Check the Kansept1 website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram for the latest drops and offers.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) — Children of all ages and their families lined up Sunday afternoon at Tonsler Park for the third annual Bike Giveaway.

Wes Bellamy is the event organizer and says it’s just a day of love every time, even though this year it’s bigger than ever.

“Last year we gave away 50 bikes and we had to turn the kids away and they were crying and that was a really really sad thing. So we said, hey, let’s raise the bar,” Bellamy said.

He managed to collect 200 bikes so no one would leave without one.

“You see little kids walking away with smiles on their faces, that’s really what it’s about,” Bellamy said.

He says Charlottesville Parks and Recreation helps make it all happen.

“They went through the clutch like no other. Rapper Young Jeezy provided 50 bikes from the Streets Dreams Foundation, and then the rest came from the community. We created a GoFundMe. We raised nearly $8,000 on the GoFundMe just for these bikes,” Bellamy said.

It’s the start of the Charlottesville Tonsler League, which features basketball games all summer long at Tonsler Park.

“We’re more than a bunch of guys playing basketball, we’re really here to serve the community and that’s always a great thing we can do,” Bellamy said.

The league is all about providing entertainment and being in tune with everyone, which starts with free bikes this year.

“That’s really what Charlottesville is. We’re a community that comes together and I’m just grateful and proud and really, honestly, very kind and grateful that the community trusts me to be able to donate,” Bellamy said. .

The Tonsler League lasts all summer and it’s every Thursday and Sunday evening.

Kawasaki has reiterated its commitment to racing in the WorldSBK championship, saying there are no plans for a return to the MotoGP world championship following Suzuki’s explosive decision to leave the premier class.

Last month, Suzuki publicly confirmed that it would cease its MotoGP efforts at the end of the 2022 season, just two years after winning the world championship title with Joan Mir.

Leaving five manufacturers on the MotoGP grid in his wake, as next year’s grid looks set to drop from 24 bikes to 22, Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta has said publicly he has sparked interest from manufacturer-level parts to eventually replace Suzuki.

While it’s unclear which manufacturers he’s referring to – if any – there is a fairly limited list of plausible candidates with the finances and resources to realistically take on an already competitive and tightly matched field.

Of these, Kawasaki and BMW represent the most logical “educated guesses”. They are certainly the best qualified to make a transition to MotoGP given their factory-backed efforts in the WorldSBK championship.

Only Kawasaki, however, has previous MotoGP form, competing between 2002 and 2008 with the attractive but moderately successful ZX-RR. However, he abruptly left the series ahead of the 2009 MotoGP season in favor of siphoning off resources to invest in a WorldSBK effort which at the time was lingering well behind main Japanese rivals Honda and Yamaha.

He has since dominated the series for the past decade, winning his first title in 20 years with Tom Sykes in 2013 before Jonathan Rea’s six-game winning streak between 2015 and 2020. As a result, Kawasaki Racing Team boss, Guim Roda, says there are reasons why he would risk his status for a much more financially demanding return to MotoGP

“From Kawasaki’s perspective, years ago I think KMC Japan decided to focus on the WorldSBK Championship for some key reasons and those reasons are still relevant,” Roda told sister publication Visordown, Crash.net.

“The brand value of the media exposure achieved by WorldSBK is very good and it shows the quality of Kawasaki and the serious way of working. We at KRT believe this helps to sell many other models, not just Ninja. Motorcycling is a passion and, through racing “, we confirm this passion. KRT tries to share it with all Kawasaki fans around the world.”

WorldSBK more “logical” to sell motorcycles

Central to Kawasaki’s decision to turn its back on MotoGP in favor of WorldSBK is its ultimate goal of promoting and selling its production models.

As a production-based series, Kawasaki says it’s more relevant to compete with similar models than what the public can buy as well.

Indeed, although MotoGP offers greater visibility for the brand as the premier class of motorcycle racing, Roda says Kawasaki’s enduring success over the past ten years negates the limitations of the smallest stage on which it was reached.

“Technically in WorldSBK we use production models, it makes more sense to race that way than to make new chassis, engines or aerodynamics every year like in MotoGP. For Kawasaki and KRT it is easier to manage the internal resources by linking them to street bike R&D and mass production than trying to put on a racing show with bikes that end customers can’t buy for street use.

“At KRT, we do our best at every race and every test to improve the package and also energize Kawasaki fans around the world, no matter what machine they are riding. Personally, I believe that is the spirit of Kawasaki racing.”

Why Kawasaki doesn’t need to race in MotoGP

While quitting MotoGP to turn its dwindling effort into WorldSBK was a masterstroke from Kawasaki, many see it as the company ‘playing it safe’ by focusing on pumping more money into a series smaller (translation: easier) to basically expend its way to the top.

It’s a cynical view – and it’s not wrong – but it’s not just Kawasaki bringing the ball home because it wasn’t winning, despite some encouraging signs it would have ended up being fine .

Unlike its main Japanese rivals – Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki – Kawasaki did not come to MotoGP with a prior Grand Prix racing heritage, a comparable lineage held in high esteem by its counterparts. Suzuki notwithstanding, that history of GP success arguably ranks above any reason why Honda and Yamaha continue to invest heavily.

Kawasaki, on the other hand, has a more established Superbike history dating back to the first WorldSBK championship in 1988, although its success rate up to the “twenty-teens” was sporadic.

While Honda, Yamaha and Ducati could compete in both MotoGP and Superbike, the first series makes more sense for Aprilia and KTM as companies that see sport brand exposure as the main objective, while that Kawasaki and BMW prefer to promote specific models.
