Tecnomoto was founded in Vignola (Modena), Italy in 1968 by brothers Vittoriano and Giancarlo Pellegrini. Tecnomoto initially specialised in building lightweight motorcycles intended for children and younger riders. They were brought into the UK by John Rudge Imports of Overseal, Staffordshire, the sole UK concessionaires, which described them as "The machines with flair, imagination, quality and colour". The marque would turn out to be short-lived, with production said to have ceased either in 1975 or 1979, depending on the source.
It seems unlikely that such a small concern would have had the inclination and resources to fund the manufacture of pure racing models, let alone sustain a programme of factory-sponsored competition, which suggests that this Tecnomoto racer was a private venture. The machine seems to be based on Tecnomoto's S50 sports model, a water-cooled version of which (as seen here) was offered alongside the regular air-cooled machine. Unfortunately, nothing is known of this motorcycle's past history or condition. Purchased recently by the vendor, it has not been started and will require recommissioning before further use (the engine turns over). There are no documents with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed.
