Vespa-Auspuff Touring

The steamhammer

The BGM BigBox Touring is the tour steamer on our programme.
Developed for a solid push beginning at low rpm.

An early performance delivery and the significant increase in torque make our Big Box’s Touring version an ideal companion for anyone who likes to travel as a couple or with a lot of luggage. Sidecar bikers will appreciate this one as well. Due to the high torque available it is no longer necessary to shorten the gear reduction, which is otherwise necessary!

Vespa-Auspuff Touring

On a standard PX200 the Touringbox already sets in 300rpm earlier than the standard exhaust, the previous king of all tour bikers. On powerhouses like the Polini or Malossi sports cylinders this exhaust is just fine as well.
Of course, the Bigbox has a double walled structure and is filled with damping material, just like the standard Vespa exhaust.

Vespa-Auspuff Touring

The BigBox Touring

  • Standard look
  • Quiet, thanks to double walled structure and damping material as in the standard exhaust
  • High torque
  • No performance drop
  • Rev range like the standard exhaust
  • Very discreet
  • Also fits the Rally/Sprint without the need for modifications
  • Massive construction with clamp at the cylinder
  • Handmade in Europe

EASY ASSEMBLY

The exhaust is mounted like the standard exhaust. The header is attached to the cylinder with a clamp. This provides a maximum of stability and prevents damage to the outlet flange, in comparison to a loose assembly with an O-ring seal. The header features spring mount tabs. For maximum ground clearance, make sure to use a spacer that is long enough at the rear shock.

Vespa-Auspuff Touring

WHAT WE RECOMMEND

With a longer gear ratio the available rev range can be increased enormously at every gear. That way, the high torque can be turned into speed.
The ideal thing is to simply mount the BGM Superstrong clutch with a 24 tooth sprocket (23 teeth is standard). It works without the necessity of any further engine modifications and leads to an increase in speed by ~5km/h.

Engines with plenty enough torque are also compatible with the bigger 64 tooth BGM primary sprocket combined with the 24 tooth clutch sprocket (+8km/h).

CONCLUSION
A lot of steam at low rpm – yeah!

The ride-on car comes before the balance bike

Nice retro ride-on cars made of metal

We offer excellent wooden balance bikes for scooterist parents‘ kids. But ride-on cars come before the cool Vespa or Lambretta balance bike.

There’s that total classic made from plastic which is present all across Germany – however, most of the scooterists to the bone belonging to the classics scene refuse to ride plastics themselves! So their offspring must have something adequate and stylish to ride on. We have found something:

“Genuine metal”

Genuine metal is a tagline in the Vespa scene. We now have excellent ride-on cars made of metal that suit this tagline:

Get ready for wild races! At the cockpit of this manoeuvrable red Baghera retro ride-on car made of metal, car racing will come to life in your child’s imagination. With this classic, terms like throttle blipping, warm up laps, starting grid, start, finishing straight and pit stop will soon no longer be unfamiliar!

Other Baghera models on offer:

Grip-Lock protection against theft – scooter lock

The Grip Lock express lock – easy to use – hard to pick

The Grip-Lock security system for scooters, motorcycles and mopeds is a new device that protects the valuable motorbike from theft. Grip-Lock can be easily attached to the throttle and the brake lever and safely secures them.

Hence, Grip-Lock is suitable for Vespa, Lambretta, almost all motorcycles, scooters, pedal mopeds, mopeds, quads, trikes and many more.

Easy and fast assembly

Putting the Grip-Lock in place and taking it off takes less than 10 seconds.

Order Grip-Lock here

Grip-Lock – secure protection against theft for scooters

The Grip-Lock comes in a bright colour and is easy to make out on the handlebar. That scares potential thieves off immediately! But naturally, that alone is not enough: The Grip-Lock’s interior consists of four strong steel bolts made from tempered spring steel, that effectively prevent theft with the help of a saw or other cutting tools. Thanks to its reinforced nylon-fiber outer cover it is absolutely stainless.

With the throttle secured, it is impossible for you to forget to take off the lock before going for a ride. In regard to brake disc locks or other external locks, a forgotten lock can cause severe damage to the vehicle.

BASF-special nylon featuring fiberglass reinforcement that is used for Grip-Lock is 200% stronger than ordinary multi-purpose plastics and makes the security device especially strong and rigid.

Grip Lock sicheres Schloss für Motorroller

Grip-Lock is clean

Grip-Lock is cleaner and easier to use than complicated and messy brake disc locks or chain locks that first need to be squeezed between the frame or spokes.

The lock can be stored easily

Weighing only 330 grams and measuring 15 x 4.5 x 5 cm, the Grip-Lock will go inside your glove compartment, the helmet case or under the seat.

High Quality – Made in New Zealand

All Grip-Lock products are designed and manufactured in Auckland, New-Zealand under German management. The locks have been optimized for maximum robustness and endure attacks with screw drivers, hand saws, lock-picking devices, etc. permanently and reliably.

In addition to that, all of the Grip-Lock components have undergone numerous tests on enhanced aging (i.e. UV test, salt steam test, etc.) in order to ensure the materials’ longevity in outdoor use and that they do not become brittle or go yellow.

Three year warranty

You receive a 3 year manufacturer’s warranty on any Grip-Lock.

Robust materials for a maximum of security.

Vespa Schloss Grip Lock 3 jahre Garantie

Long-Life –High security lock

The locking mechanism has been developed according to three principles:

  • cannot be picked with ordinary lock-picking devices
  • very robust against drilling attacks
  • maximum longevity and uncompromising security under all conditions

Is delivered with three adaptors for a secure grip

Every Grip-Lock comes with three adaptors in order to guarantee that it fits all scooters and motorcycles at its best. It fits handgrips with a diameter of 27 to 38 mm or a circumference of 85 to 119 mm. This range covers about 95% of the market. Therefore, it fits almost all motorcycles, scooters, pedal mopeds, mopeds, quads, trikes and many more. In opened position no tools are necessary to adjust the Grip-Lock’s brake lever locking mechanism.

Vespa & Lambretta roadside assistance

Facebook – Vespa & Lambretta roadside assistance group

Scooter Center customer Felix Penning had an excellent idea:

Vespa wird von Abschleppdienst aufgeladen

„The Vespa & Lambretta roadside assistance network reaches out to all friends of the classic scooter willing to give a helping hand. Assistance is provided to Vespa and Lambretta riders stranded on the roadside – no matter how, no matter where.

We all know how annoying having broken down is. It’s a bummer when you don`t have the right tools or spare part with you. And it’s even more of a bummer when you’re parked somewhere in the middle of nowhere and depend on help from a stranger.

So it’s all the better if there’s someone near you who shares the same hobby and is pleased to help you out. All the same, if it is only with some silly comments or a bottle of beer.

I hope that this is going to turn into a large and helping roadside assistance community. Please spread the word and add anybody who belongs here.

Sign on guys – it would be best if you leave your phone number, email address or Facebook account. Otherwise it’ll be hard to get in touch with you ;-)“

Crazy Monkey Development tuning carburetor cap „Snakehead“

CMD tuning carburetor cap for DellOrto, PWK and Mikuni

Scooter Center has new and exclusive Snakehead carburetor caps or the carburetor pulley by Crazy Monkey Development (CMD) for
– DellOrto PHBL / PWK28
– DellOrto PHBH
– Mikuni TMX30
– PWK35

Vergaserdeckel Snakehead Crazy Monkey Development

What‘s so unique about these ingenious carburetor caps is their extremely flat body construction, giving you a lot of extra space under the side panel. With the Vespa Largeframe models for instance, the caruburetor hitting the frame is avoided. The Lambretta also doesn’t have that much space near the fuel tank or the toolbox and the Smallframe has cramped conditions anyway.

Snakehead Vespa

The caps are a main asset to any moped or scooter with a corresponding carburetor.

The integrated throttle cable routing with no end stop is a true stroke of genius. This means that the twisting carburetor cap and the throttle cable can be turned 360°, thus allowing it to be in an optimum position at all times. The throttle cable runs a lot smoother because of this.

Indestructable and easy to assemble

Each carburetor cap is made with love for racing and from very fine technical nylon (PA) using the most recent production methods.

BUY SNAKEHEAD HERE

Race proven

Marco Abate of the Pacemaker SC Deggendorf has been very successful in scooter racing at the European Scooter Challenge (ESC). He already had the opportunity to try out the Snakehead carburetor cap. This is his feedback on the caps:

… The guys really used their brains and developed something useful. The finish is great… First of all you want take off the old cap: take out the throttle slide, the spring and the O-ring and put them on the new cap. The O-ring housing has a nice and firm fir and is deep enough. The slightly longer slider spring routing is convincing as well. Here I see the advantage that the spring doesn’t lose as much tension through slipping as on the Dell’Orto cap. When letting go of the throttle you already feel it, at least this is the case with my racing scooter. Alright, now put on the cap and fasten it using the existing bolts of the old cap. Readjust the throttle and off you go on a first trial lap… First impression: Excellent…Marco Abate

VWD 2017 – Celle

The official announcement was made 2 years ago: the Vespa World Days 2017 will be in Germany – more specifically in Celle.

But where is Celle and who are the Celle Scooterists?

world-vespa-days-2017-germany-celle

Celle in Lower Saxony in the beautiful Lüneburg Heath

Celle is located in Lower Saxony, about 50km north of Hanover and has a population of ca. 70,000 people. The town lies on the banks of the river Aller and is the southern gateway to the Lüneburg Heath. The castle and the picturesque old town centre with over 400 timber-framed houses, make Celle one of the most remarkable towns on the German “timber-framed” road.

The Lüneburg heath stretches from Lüneburg in the north to Celle in the south. The Südheide nature park covers an area of about 500km². Woodlands and heathland, remnants from the middle ages, are now protected as a nature reserve. Well known in the region is the Heidschnucke, a moorland sheep, which lives from the local heather. The perfect destination for a group excursion!

Great starting point for further ride outs

Celle is the perfect base for various excursions, the local roads perfect for Vespa trips. Within a 100 km drive a variety of destinations can be reached. These include: Steinhuder Meer, northern Germany’s largest lake with a circumference of 24 km. Hannover, Lower Saxony’s capital. The Deister hills with their wide variety of flora and fauna.

Vespa Club Celle

The Vespa Club in Celle, founded in 1986, is an active group of passionate Vespa drivers, who are known for combining this passion for Vespas with the importance of family and community. The club organizes regular activities, highlighting in August with its annual “Heidetreffen” in nearby Walle. This scooter rally is one of the largest in Germany, with its reputation of bringing together scooter drivers of all generations and backgrounds as well as being planned with families in mind.

The Celle Vespa Family: The World of Vespa hand-in-hand with the community.

Jerry can for garage, car and racing

Large jerry cans for garage, car and racing

We offer 1 litre, 2 and 3 litres transportable jerry cans and every scooterist should have one of these, combined with the tool kit, in or attached to the scooter. But we also offer a large variety of high quality jerry cans by Hünersdorff “made in Germany”, which are suitable to place in a service car or in the garage. All jerry cans are equipped with a child safety catch, made from high quality HDPE with UN approval according to ADR/GGVSEB for dangerous goods transport.

Standard 5 litres jerry can “made in Germany” in two versions

We offer the 5 litres jerry can in two versions. One with a normal red snorkel – and one with two snorkels.

With two snorkels you will be on the save side:

red snorkel: for low-octane petrol or super vehicles and
the second black snorkel: for diesel vehicles with misfuelling protection.

benzinkanister-auto-werkstatt-1

Misfuelling protection?

Some have never heard of this before. Just like us, when we wanted to fuel our Scooter-Center-van from the jerry can for the first time and the “bloody red snorkel” wouldn’t fit. Newer diesel vehicles with misfuelling protection need this snorkel, which is round, with a diameter of exactly 26mm. This size is the only one that guarantees, that the fuel stop on the filler neck of the vehicle will be pushed away in order to fill in diesel.

benzinkanister-auto-werkstatt-2

10 and 20 litres jerry cans

We offer the 10 and 20 litres jerry can in two colours:

benzinkanister-auto-werkstatt-3

benzinkanister-auto-werkstatt-6

Please note: The olive green jerry can comes with snorkels for LOW-OCTANE PETROL. Despite the colour black you can only use them for low-octane petrol or super and they won’t work for diesel vehicles with misfuelling protection.

Discharge pipe for diesel vehicles

Do you need a snorkel (discharge pipe/spout/fuel filler) with misfuelling protection for diesel vehicles? We recommend this special diesel-snorkel:

Drain pan

The drain pan, with a volume of 8 litres and “made in Germany” by Hünersdorff, is a reasonable add-on to your garage. The drain pan is made from HDPE and is perfect for your garage and hobby mechanics. The drain pan has a filling volume of 13,8 litres and a nominal volume of 8 litres. It is resistant to oil, diesel, petrol and diluted acids

Jerry can for Vespa, Lambretta scooters and motorbikes

Jerry can for scooters

Hünersdorff “Fuel Friend” transportable jerry cans 1 litre, 2 litres and 3 litres with fuel filler for all petrol nozzles. All of these fit in the glove box of a Vespa.

vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_1-scooter-center

Summertime is the time to travel. Have you ever been in that situation, fearing that the petrol left in your tank won’t last until the next petrol station? Have you even ever had a breakdown due to an empty tank? We know this problem and therefore searched for a solution – and found it:

Today we would like to introduce a reasonable add-on to your tool kit:

Extremely handy transportable jerry cans

Our Hünersdorff jerry cans “Made in Germany can usually be filled with a petrol nozzle at the petrol station and have a volume of 1 litre, 2 litres or 3 liters, which comes with the certainty to get to the next opened petrol station.

1 litre jerry can

The 1 litre Fuel Friend is equipped with two very handy flaps at the sides, in order to attach the jerry can safely to the scooter. For a Vespa or Lambretta this happens for example under or on the seat, for a Vespa GTS or Gilera Runner in the luggage box or, according to the type of scooter, the jerry can can be attached under the fairing or to the frame. Thanks to the flaps there are no limits to your creativity.

Very sturdy jerry cans

All FuelFriend cans are very sturdy – a double skin makes it feel like a jerry can from the petrol station but not to be compared in quality. vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_2-scooter-center

2 litre jerry can

We offer two different 2 litre jerry cans:

Fuel Friend 2 liter jerry can

This transportable jerry can has a large mouth and can be filled with petrol nozzles at the petrol station.vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_3-scooter-center

Hünersdorff 2 litre jerry can with integrated spout

This standard Hünersdorff jerry can does not have a large mouth and has to be filled by the help of a funnel. But something special is hidden beneath its small cap: If you detach the cap, you will find a small snorkel. You pull this integrated spout out of the can, which enables you to cleanly fill your tank with petrol.

The Hünersdorff 2 litre jerry can also has a flap to securely attach it to the scooter. Which is missing for the 2 litre “Fuel Friend”.

vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_5

3 litre jerry can

The 3 litre transportable jerry can is traditionally shaped. Even this three litre jerry can can still be fitted in the glove box of a Vespa PX EFL or LML Star. You have to place it vertically – the can won’t leak and on a long ride out three liters of additional petrol really calm you down!

Comparison in size

1 litre / 3 litre / 2 litre

Jerry can in the Vespa glove box

Here you can see some pictures of fitting a jerry can and a can of oil in a Vespa PX EFL / T5. 1/2/3 litre jerry can, 1 litre oil and the tool kit easily fit in.

Handy add-on

This isn’t meant to be a “Do you also need a leather care product for your new shoes? – trick”: It really is a helpful and handy add-on to your jerry can.

Safety fuel filler

The safety fuel filler, or to put in in the words of Hündersdorff “filling system for fuel”, fits all standard Hünersdorff jerry cans from 1 to 20 litres.vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_10-scooter-center

Safe and clean thanks to automatic ventilation

It’s annoying when the mix of petrol and oil drops next to the tank! This is not only an ecological and economic waste, but also harms the paint of the scooter. Using the safety fuel filler for jerry cans puts an end to this.

There is an easy explanation: The fuel filler is equipped with an automatic ventilation. A feature you know from racing: Turn the can around and it won’t leak. Only when you push the fuel filler on the tank, the lid will open and petrol is being filled in the tank. When you stop putting pressure on the filler, the jerry can is sealed and won’t leak.

vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_13

vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_14

The air used for ventilation flows through a central opening, while the petrol runs into the tank through openings at the sides. When reducing pressure, a rubber seal will prevent further drops.

Jerry cans for more than 3 litres

You need a jerry can for the car, garage or racetrack? You can find any jerry can in the Scooter Center Scootershop.

Scooter Center Vespa and Lambretta Classic Day 2015

Many thanks go to the many visitors of our Classic Day 2015. The sweet smell of two stroke engines still lingers around the Scooter Center. You really gave our dynamometer some stick. The waiting queue seemed to be endless.

The weather was fine, all sausages were being eaten, the refrigerator truck is empty and we have fewer products in the remaining stock. Which means: you are satisfied and happy – and many of you went home with a great bargain. The 10% discount in the store and our Scootershop was, of course, also a winner.

There will be even more private booths next year – so please make a note: Classic Day 2016 with large market for Vespa and Lambretta parts.

It was a really great day. We are very happy to have such great and loyal customers!

Keep on Scootering.

Testing Vespa exhaust on dynamometer BMG PRO BigBox Sport Malossi

Vespa exhaust BGM BigBox Sport on dynamometer

Michael Holden from England is a loyal customer of Scooter Center. On his way to his run “holidays in Sauerland” he paid us a short visit and leapt the chance to test the Vespa exhaust BigBox Sport on the dynamometer.

05_2015 001

Vespa PX 200 with Malossi 210 and PHBH30 carburetor

His Vespa is a German Vespa PX200, which he bought when he was deployed in Germany with the British Forces.

The engine is a simple one and is made up of an “old” Malossi 210 cylinder, DellOrto carburetor PHBH 30, Mazzucchelli racing shaft with 57mm stroke and a Taffspeed MK4.

Michael tells us, that the engine was tested with the same parts in England on a Dynojet before he left. The result was 17.88BHP (Brake Horse Power). Giving us a value to compare with, when measuring and to assess whether the engine’s performance went down. The old 210 with the MK4 demonstrated the predicted performance. The difference in values from the Dynojet and from our dynamometer is only a few tenths. So you can see, the two results are comparable.

M. Holden Malossi 210 PHBH30 MK4

The 90s: Taffspeed MK4 Vespa exhaust

At the time (1996 the first systems with TÜV-certificate have been sold in Germany) the MK4 was a good all-rounder with positive performance. A positive performance was reached before having to respond. Overall you can say that an engine is regarded as one that “drives well” on the street, when it reaches at least 10HP from 5000 revs/min and when performance and torque increase with increasing revs. However, the MK4 is an exhaust with just below 18Nm at about 6000 revs/min and therefore forces the driver to change down to a lower gear when being in 4th gear below 90km/h and higher acceleration is demanded.

The modern racing exhaust: BGM PRO BigBox Sport

When the MK4 was modern, no-one would have thought, that exhausts, which look like lunchboxes, would ever reach such a performance.

For a while now, more powerful exhausts are being developed with looks that resemble the original.

BigBox Sport vs. Taffspeed MK4

A comparison of BigBox Sport and Taffspeed MK4.

In contrast to the MK4, the BigBox Sport can add further torque and performance from 4500 revs/min. Comparing the engines on the street, let the scooter seem to drive more easily, because there is more torque for acceleration. The additional torque becomes crucial when the scooter is driven at at least 5500 revs/min on a motorway or highway.

Michael was convinced of the BigBox Sport. He wouldn’t even let us detach the test-exhaust and continued his trip to the Sauerland with a fitted BigBox Sport.05_2015 019

Vespa touring exhaust BGM PRO BigBox TOURING Vespa 200cc

, ,

New Vespa touring exhaust

We received the first production pattern of the BigBox Touring for 200cc Vespa PX engines today.

Assessing looks and fit are part of a normal sample exam. And so are test runs on our Scooter Center P4 dynamometer.

We already mentioned in previous entries relating to this Vespa exhaust, that the BigBox Touring has a drastically smaller U-bend than the BigBox Sport, its larger sister.

BigBox P200_2

The missing black, heat-resistant cover layer makes the BigBox Touring look somewhat naked. We also attach significance to closely assessing all the joints without the cover layer, though.

BigBox P200_3

Test assembly on a Vespa Sprint with a 200cc engine

One of the first parts of the exam was the assembly in a Vespa VLB (Sprint). Usually space issues arise, when fitted in combination with a 200cc PX-engine. Especially around the centre stand, in particular in the “U’s” and the laps for the stand springs. Depending on the assembly of the exhaust, stand feed rubbers might collide with the U-bend.

We especially focused on these narrow spaces to see whether everything fits. The BigBox fits even to vehicles with a two-spring-system at the centre stand, which has only be introduced to the German market. The stand feed rubbers have a save distance to the hot U-bend.

BigBox P200_4

Just as its larger sister the BigBox Touring comes with a solid clamping and additional holders for exhaust springs.

You want to play it safe? Our retaining plate incl. exhaust springs perfectly matches your BigBox.

Performance measurement Vespa exhaust

Once we agree with the looks, processing and fitting we continue with performance measurements.

First “testing victim” is a cast iron Polini with 207cc, SI24 carburetor in a standard Vespa PX200 engine.

bigbox touring 200

Early torque for day to day use and touring

When developing the BigBox Touring we focused on having the possible torque available early and that there is a high amount of pressure in the exhaust with low revs.

The earlier and more homogeneous torque is provided by the engine, the nicer is a day to day drive. Our cast iron test engine by Polini with a BigBox touring reaches more than 18Nm at 3900rpm. Translated to the 4th gear this means smooth cruising at 50km/h with a very good potential to accelerate up to the final revs.

Increased transmission possible

Depending on the engine you fit the BigBox Touring on, an increased primary transmission can be used reasonably to go easy on revs while retaining the same cruising speed. Increasing transmission is easiest when using a clutch sprocket. The BGM clutch sprocket for Cosa clutches or a sustainable solution like our BGM Superstrong clutch are very fitting examples. An increased transmission may increase the top speed by 5km/h at same revs.
