Our story

Proudly one the UK's top bespoke bike builders, ASE Custom motorcycles was founded by Andy Steward. "I was brought up playing with cars and bikes, taking any opportunity to indulge my passion of tinkering, maintain and improving them."

After qualifying with a degree in Motorsport Engineering & Design Andy performed several engineering design and project management roles over an 11 year period for prestigious automotive brands such as Jaguar Landrover & Aston Martin based in the West Midlands, UK. 

After a little break from the "day job" to travel and work overseas he decided to take a leap of faith and become self-employed, setting up a bike building and customising business based in the West Midlands, UK– ASE Custom motorcycles. "Combining my design & engineering experience, extensive automotive knowledge and practical hands-on approach I felt this put me in a strong position to provide a start to finish service to my customers. I have set up my workshop facilities to capitalise on this; providing design, engineering, rapid prototyping, building, fabrication and restoration services in-house. Today we continue to work with motorcycle manufacturers delivering prototype builds, product development services and show bike builds alongside producing dream rides for our special customers the general public".

As well as building bikes, Andy loves to ride and have adventures, having been fortunate enough to have competed in some of the worlds toughest extreme motorcycle enduro events such as Redbull Romaniacs and The Nutbuster Hard Enduro in New Zealand."  

Keen for adventure, Andy uses every opportunity to continue his travels extensively on two wheels both on and off road through collaborations and exciting projects. The physical, mental and mechanical preparation required to succeed in these endeavors transfers directly to designing and creating and building exciting hand crafted custom motorcycles with attention to detail that draws on this wealth of experience of bike building and preparation.
