The Mecatecno's were built in Spain and originally started making kids bikes. They then progressed onto Adult machines.
Mecatecno were formed when 3 mechanics / engineers left the manufacturer Derbi and wanted to start up on their own.
Steve Jewitt was the UK importer and about 10 or so years ago he was trying to sell the company , perhaps he saw the main company going bust.
In any case i had a friend down south called Richard Pelling. He has sadly passed away , but his passion was Mecatecnos as Ossa's
He was in contact with Steve re taking over the importership just before he died.
Richard sponsored Graham Arnold , Wayne Holdsworth and Richard Allen on Mecatecno's Skywalkers.
They had big 325cc engines made in their own factory which is quite impressive for such a small factory
I have managed to get hold of a Skywalker.I've got 2 sets of wheels for it. Traditional spoked wheels and crazy 3 spoke mag wheels like my Merlin.
Its in bits at the mo , but in about 6 months it should be running and back together mint.
Here's a picture of what it should look like once finished.
