| Description |
The Technofix name was owned bij the Einfalt brothers (Gebrüder Einfalt or G.E.) The motorcycle toy they made had a long life. The first version - shown here - dates back to the late 30's. This is the Einfalt YZ 243; the motorcycle runs circles, falls and rights itself again and produces sparks from the exhaust. The second version was the GE 255 . Made in the US zone of Germany (1948 - 1958) and marketed under the Technofix brand. Same action as the Einfalt 243, but without the sparking from the rear. The third version was the G.E. 258. It still rides circles but the mechanism is simplified again: the fall and rise mechanism now also has disappeared. In the last version - in the late fifties - the graphics were modernised to brighter and harder graphics; the bike gets rear shocks in the style of the BMW R51. This version gets the name Komet or Shooting Star. When Technofix ended production in the sixties the tools were sold to the French firm Joyax in Marseille. Here the production went on untill 1985! These motorcycles bear the name Technofix but are marked 'made in France'. The Italian firm INGAP made their own versions of this succesfull toy. The same moulds are used but with wonderfull old fashioned graphics. |
