The clutch is provided with two screws and long nuts.
On the front side of the clutch spider there are two legs marked with a point which signals on their base a threaded hole for the screw.
Practical and easy to use:
The screws for the preload of the clutch base will be inserted in the two threaded holes.
The cutouts on the base of the locating tool are specially designed to guarantee more free surface for the high nuts used to preload the clutch for the mounting.
Quick and easy: as soon as the clutch has been preloaded, you can pull out the tool.
Scooter Center offers you a wide range of wheel rims which fit your Vespa, however, choosing the perfect rim for your scooter is not always easy! But now you can use our wheel rim configurator for Vespa GTS which enbles you to virtually mount all kinds of rims selecting features like colour and size. Choose your wheel rim now!

We have tuned up the Vespa GTS of our customer Bernd not only with a facelift but also with a significative performance improvement:
Engine: Vespa GTS with Malossi tuning
The engine was tuned up with the Malossi cylinder, cylinder head, variator and gears. The Vespa GTS has now a higher torque at low revs and torque improved through the entire RPM band. Thanks to the Malossi Forcemaster2 the maximum number of revs measured for this Vespa is now 10,500 rpm, that is 1,000 rpm more than without this CDI.
Thanks to the 4 different maps of the Malossi Forecemaster2 you can change the fuel injection quantity ±20% at min/medium/max, depending on the tuning measures.
Curve 0: genuine cylinder, genuine camshaft, genuine cylinder head and Malossi exhaust with dB killer
Curve 1: genuine cylinder, genuine camshaft, Malossi cylinder head and Malossi exhaust with dB killer
Curve 2: Malossi cylinder, genuine camshaft, Malossi cylinder head and genuine exhaust
Curve 3: Malossi cylinder, genuine camshaft, Malossi cylinder head and Malossi exhaust with dB killer
M5211821 + M2911326 Malossi Delta clutch with red Malossi springs

New brake levers for Vespa – Installation guide Vespa GT / GTS
New for Vespa GT / GTS: BGM brake levers for all Vespa GT, GTL, GTS models with a HengTong brake system. This CNC machined lever in high-strength aluminium is adjustable in 6 positions.
The lever is provided with a span adjuster on the lower side which enables you to tailor the lever length in order to achieve the most comfortable position and a perfect grip.
The lever is made up of two parts and it folds up in the event of a fall reducing therefore the risk of breaking.
The foldable design of this lever is ideal if, for instance, you park your scooter in a small garage.
How to mount Vespa brake levers
Tools for mounting brake levers:
Allen key 2,5mm
combination wrench or box spanner SW10
slot screw driver, size 2-3
slot screw driver, size 5
Torx key TX25
two hands, right and left, ideally with only one thumb on each hand!
open-end wrench SW17 (may vary depending on the model of the mirror)
Preparation
In order to have an easier access to the brake master cylinder, it’s necessary to take off the front headset cover. If you also have a windscreen remove this first. Under the rubber grommet and the master cylinder cover you’ll find the counternuts for the tightening of the mirrors.
The screw of the master cylinder cover can be removed with an Allen key 2,5mm from the front side. After wiggling the cover loose forwards and upwards, the counternut of the mirror is easily accessible and can be taken off with an open-end wrench SW 17.
Then you can turn the mirror arm anticlockwise.
Both mirror arms have a right-hand thread. To tighten the mirror arm turn it clockwise, to loose the arm turn it anticlockwise. In the lower part of the headset cover there are three screws: on the right and left side the screws are accessible from the rear side,
while the third screw is accessible from the front side, under the headlight.
First unscrew all the three screws with a cross slot screwdriver PH2 and then release the retaining clips. These plastic clips are not visible from outside, but accessible from the inspection ports one the left and on right side. Remove carefully the clip with a slot screw driver.
Another plastic clip is placed under the headset cover, in the middle. You can loose it carefully with a thin slot screw driver.
The front headset cover can be removed easily if the front cover has already been taken off. The front cover is fixed with a torx screw (TX) hidden behind the Piaggio logo. On the right side of the logo there’s a small gap, pull out the logo from that side by using a thin slot screw driver.
Under the logo you’ll find the only screw of the front cover which can be loosed and removed with a TX25 torx key.
The front cover can be removed by wiggling it loose forwards and upwards. This way you can push the front headset cover upwards in order to loose the retaining clips of the front cover. When the front cover has been removed, you can wiggle the front headset cover forwards and upwards and finally take it off.
Unplug the electrical connections and the cover can be removed completely
How to replace Vespa brake levers
In order to take off the genuine brake levers, remove the counternut under the brake lever support with a combination wrench or box spanner SW10.
Then loose the guide bolt, to which the brake lever is fitted, with a wider slot screw driver (min. S5.5).
Pull out the bolt carefully and hold the brake lever.
For the mounting and positioning of the brake lever there are two washers. Please make sure you don’t lose them when you disassembly the levers.
You’ll need the two washers again when you fit the BGM PRO brake levers. For a trouble-free mounting and for an easy movement of the lever we’ll grease the two washers in order to enable the correct positioning of the lever.
For an easy mounting of the lever on the right side of the headset you can slightly spread apart the throttle below so that you can have access to the counternut.
After mounting the lever, screw the guide bolt again and tight it with the counternut.
Finally, plug the headlight again and fasten the headset cover, first with the clips and then with the three screws, fit the mirror – done!

The new bgm inner tubes have been designed to meet the needs of classic scooters. In the last years there has been a great development in tuning measures and, as a result, an increased engine power. Modern disc brakes combined with bgm shock absorbers provide a high-performance scooter. As scooter riders we often gain from the developments of new motorcycle tyres which are then applied to the smaller tyres. Nevertheless for ages no innovations have been developed for tubes, but now we present you our new inner tubes:
Our inner tubes are specially manufactured for the specific features of Vespa and Lambretta:
We have a tube with a 90° valve stem for Vespa and other scooters, while for the Lambretta we have a tube with a 45° valve stem. These valves are differently positioned and vulcanised. The butyl quantity is higher than 50% and this guarantees an extremely high air tightness and realiability. Because of the high butyl quantity the production costs are higher, but the result is, in our opinion, a high-quality tube.
Inner tube for Vespa
Tube-BGM PRO- 3.00-10, 3.50-10, 90/90-10, 100/80-10, 100/90-10 – Valve position Vespa, part no. BGM8700V, 90° valve stem, fits Vespa and many other models.
Inner tube for Lambretta
Tube-BGM PRO- 3.00-10, 3.50-10, 90/90-10, 100/80-10, 100/90-10 – Valve position Lambretta, part no. BGM8700L, 45° valve stem. For your safety. The position of the valve stem prevents the rubbing of the valve against the rear suspension linkage pin and that, sooner or later, it comes off.
Always faithful to the details and to the classic style
And for the detail lovers we have not only ensured the safety of the right angle of the valve stem, but we have also provided a metal valve cap and a valve extractor, just like the genuine tubes for Lambretta.
High quality and perfect positioning
Inner tubes with a small quantity of butyl have, on the other hand, a higher quantity of rubber which makes them more flexible. As a result, they can be used for many more tyres with different sizes (up to 130/90-10). However, tubes containing more rubber are less airtight. We want to offer a high-quality item, therefore, in order to guarantee a perfect airtightness, we have decided to produce tubes with a higher butyl quantity for tyres up to 100/90-10. For your safety! Meanwhile there are many Vespa imitations but Vespa still represents an outstanding and unique icon the the world of scooters. This has an advantage: bgm inner tubes also fit many other scooters with 10 inch tubed tyres.
When mounting the tyre, please apply the mounting paste on the tyre bead and slather talcum powder over the inside of the tyre. Mounting paste provides the right position of the tyre and talc reduces internal rubbing. This guarantees the safety and long life of your tyres.
Tyre mounting paste -ECON- 1 kg part no. 3330132
Mounting paste provides not only an easy fitting of the tyre on the wheel, but it also ensures the right positioning of the tyre. If fitted without mounting paste, the tyre may not be positioned properly on the wheel and, therefore, it loses its stability.
ECON mounting paste can be easily applied with a brush.
Talc powder -ECON- 500 gr sprinkler, part no. 3330131
Talcum powder is essential for a trouble-free mounting of tyres with inner tubes. If fitted without talcum, inner tubes might stick to the tyres. This may cause a damage in the area of the valve, since, due to the movement of the inner side of the tyre, the tube cannot move freely.

We have already seen many custom-built electric scooters, the last ones also during our trip to Italy. In this video you can see a cute customized electric Vespa. So far classic Vespa models have been fitted with more or less modern electric engine and battery. This time we show you a real Elecrtic Vespa. Piaggio presented this project at the Eicma international motorcycle exhibition.
Electric Vespa due in 2017
The electric Vespa will be available in the middle of 2017. “The Electric Vespa will be a true Vespa with the latest technology of electric scooters and will keep all the features which contributed to its international success”, stated Piaggio.
With over 18 million vehicles sold around the world, the legendary Vespa is now ready for the next challenge. For further information about the Electric Vespa click here.
If used with the matching intake manifold and carburettor, this cylinder is able to develop its full potential, a perfect combination for the older Vespa models.
Further tuning options for old Vespa scooters:
Intake manifold
Andreas Nagy, specialist in the wideframe sector, offers you the matching intake manifold:
The throttle tubes of wideframe Vespas perfectly fit smaller carburettors. In order to enable the full opening of the throttle valve we suggest you to use this throttle lever.
Marchald air filter
The Marchald air filter, with its flat surface, is perfect for the Polini carburettor since it provides a high air flow:

VIO is for us scooterists the perfect combination of style and functionality. You need a smartphone with IOS or Android operating system. Information about navigation is sent from the GPS of you smaprtphone and displayed on the VIO screen via Bluetooth. VIO is provided with a touchscreen to select your recent destinations or favourites, this way you don’t need any GPS chip. As a result, TomTom VIO is much cheaper than the usual sat navs, nevertheless the peculiarity of this item is its high quality and service: thanks to the free TomTom VIO app you can receive for the life of your product updated maps of all Europe, see below.
As a first step, you need to download the free app from Appstore and then connect your smartphone to VIO using Bluetooth. It worked immediately and it was very easy to use. We could download several maps of Italy but we selected Northeast Italy for our journey, about 150MB but the download was very quick even though we had a mobile Internet connection.
Fix your VIO to your mirror bar
Now you can fix the mount to your scooter. VIO is fixed safely and can be removed by a simple rotating movement. Please note: no anti-theft protection.
Fixing the mount is easy and quick. You can fix VIO directly to the mirror bar or, using an adapter, to the handlebar or handlebar grip. Fixing material and hexagonal key are also provided with VIO. If you want to mount VIO on other vehicles then you need to use further mounts. VIO can be fixed only to tube handlebars, bikes and to the left handlebar grip of automatic scooters. In this video you can see how to fix VIO to the handlebar/grip:
How VIO works
Display – easy to read
We used VIO mainly on a vintage Lambretta 1st series, whatever the weather, time and on Italian roads, in the countryside, through cities and on motorways. Also in the rain, in the dark or on damaged roads VIO worked perfectly and never let us down.
VIO provides precise information very quickly. However, we couldn’t hear the voice instructions while driving on the motorway: no wonder if you drive a tuned Lambretta at a speed of 110-120 km/h. In such cases you can use a headset connected to your smartphone.
When driving Vespa Primavera ET3 with Polini engine in the city we could hear the voice instructions clearly.
Sometimes it was sufficient to take a look at the display.
Battery capacity
The battery of our VIO could run during the whole 250 km tour from Lake Garda to Pomposa, on the Adriatic coast. According to the information provided by the manufacturer, the battery should have 5 hours run-time, but it can also run up to 7 hours. The battery charges using an USB-cable supplied with your VIO and can be charged using a USB-charger.
Design and quality
We just love the design of VIO! It matches perfectly with the rounded design of the speedo of the Lambretta LI 1st series, for Vespa Primavera and new scooters VIO is a must-have accessory. Thanks to the silicone covers available in many colours you can match your VIO with your scooter, helmet or just with your style:
Designed for scooters and controlled by your smartphone
Thanks to the TomTom sat nav it’s now easier to scoot through the city. With its rounded design, VIO is the ultimate scooter accessory. Information is sent to the display so that you can keep your smartphone in your pocket.
Designed for scooters

Live app touchscreen
All information about navigation is sent from the GPS of you smaprtphone and displayed on the VIO innovative touchscreen via Bluetooth.
