Blata s.r.o. was founded by Pavel Blata, who has been a designer and factory driver for minibikes since the 1970s. He produced the first example to bear his name in his garage in 1991, and by 1992, the company had produced 554 minibikes and was beginning development of a line of scooters, with export to the United States and the European Union beginning the following year. Blata’s success in the field is attributable to strong leadership and product care, which made it quickly known around the world.

Among the firm’s high-performance machines is the Elite 13 Series, which was designed and built for racing on a competitive level. Comprised of mostly custom engineered and manufactured parts, Blata oversaw every step in production of each bike. Drawing on Pavel Blata’s long experience engineering and racing bikes, combined with modern manufacturing and CNC technology, each bike has a special combination of style and performance. This example of the Elite 13W is finished in black with yellow accents and was fully restored in Uruguay before becoming part of the museum display.
