MECATECNO
WATT’S UP IN THE REALM OF ELECTRIC TRIALS BIKES?
Although there is very little information about the bike, there are a few photos
of the new Mecatecno Electric Trials bike floating around the internet. What we
do know is the bike has a clutch, gears, a three-hour battery and weighs under 60
kg. According to importer Dale Malasek (www.midwestmototrials.com), the bike
is due to arrive in the States soon, however Mecatecno is waiting for the Spanish
FAA to certify the batteries so they can ship the bikes by air or ocean.
Last year Cesar Panicot managed a second place at the Trial-e World Cup with a
Dragonfly prototype, thanks partly to the experience gathered after three years
of development. This year, with the experience the firm got from that event, Me-
catecno has come up with a much evolved model: The Dragonfly 2.0.
On the 7th of June, Mecatecno will launch its new website in order to publish all
of the details.
