About Us

Hardcore Choppers UK was founded in 2007 by Mark Lehman and Chris Parkhouse. We have been friends and business partners for years and also shared a love of motorcycles. We saw a need in the marketplace for high quality, custom built motorcycles both in the United States and in the UK. Hardcore Choppers UK was founded to help fill that need.

The problem with most "custom" American Choppers is that they possess one of three fatal flaws; they are either mass-produced, poorly constructed, or overpriced. This makes it nearly impossible for the average motorcycle enthusiast to afford a quality built, custom bike. Being avid motorcycle riders, we knew that motorcycle enthusiasts do not want to see someone else on “their” bike. That is why we every bike we build is a custom one-of-a-kind motorcycle at an affordable price.

Throughout the motorcycle community, we kept hearing one name continually stand-out in the realm of custom designed motorcycles: Alfredo Carlini, an up-and-coming American bike builder whose reputation surpassed most others. In fact, he was hired by Porsche to build a Porsche-based theme bike.

Alfredo Carlini is the founder, creator and fabricator of Hardcore Choppers. Because of his unique design talents, many now call Alfredo a motorcycle artist. In addition to artistic design, Alfredo accepts nothing less than perfection on any bike. From triple-checks on the in-house custom fabricated wheels to the last speck of powder-coated paint, these details are just the beginning standards of these unbelievable pieces of machinery.

Come take a test ride on one of bikes and you will see why a Hardcore Chopper is the best value on the market.
