Ludwig & Scherer are THE two-stroke exhaust specialists! Especially for the Smallframe engines, their products seem to turn into instant classics. Their official first release, the “Hammerzombie”, is our evergreen when it comes to powering Smallframes. The “Big Bertha“ was developed for Parmakit’s SP09 cylinder. Power unfolds continuously on a wide power band, easily surpassing the 20 hp mark. The “Franz“ is state of the art at the moment for really powerful engines with a broad power band. With exhaust port timings of 190°-185° it works best. With a ported Polini 133cc cast barrel, 54mm bgm crankshaft, Vespatronic ignition and 30mm Mikuni carb (main 290, needle 5EN68, pilot jet 20) our Alex has achieved 27 hp at the rear wheel. Workmanship, mountings, muffler and fit leave nothing to be desired. The exhaust are available for scoots with the small luggage box on the left hand side as well as for those without it.

And as if there is no stopping them: their latest exhaust – the “Feuerzauber” reached Alex at the last minute! In direct comparison to “Franz” the exhaust starts slightly later but has a visibly higher peak and achieves a 1,000 rpm wider band. 29 hp with the cast iron Polini is worth mentioning! We recommend 128° for the port transfer and 192° at the exhaust port. Workmanship, mountings, muffler and fit leave nothing to be desired!

Summer is unfortunately coming to the end if you like it or not. Autumn with wet and cold weather is coming closer and closer. Therefore, we have appropriate clothing now available in our store, so that the scooter ride in this kind of weather won’t be a torture.

This speedo was originaly designed for the GTV Vespa. Nevertheless, it does fit to all Vespa PX Lusso and PK XL models. Retro design and colours make this speedo a nice accesory for your Vespa. With a speed indication up to 100 miles per hour, this should even be enough for all hardcore tuning scooterists. In order to fit it to the classic models it is necesarry to us the speedo plug from the PX Millenium models. The original speedo cable can still be used.

Every month new in our shop is the Scootering. The Scootering magazine was first published in 1985. It covers classic motorscooters, especially Vespa and Lambretta, the people who ride them, and products of interest to scooterists.

New in stock the Corsa evolution plus seat. Produced in Italy and made of plastic and reinforced with metal. In addition to its sleek racing look, it offers five rubber contact points for a secure fit.

Conclusion: Beautiful sporty seat in 2 different versions. Option 1 and Option 2. In the first variant, the plastic below the seat can be painted in order to emphasize the sporty design of the Vespa.

Andy, who is on his way for Scooter Center to tour the UK with our Generation XI and bgm our test bike, had started at our shop in Glessen to make his way to the Isle of Wight Rally. A little summer road trip via Belgium and France. In France, route took him along the Normandy coast up to Cherbourg.

From here he took the ferry to Portsmouth and from the ferry to the Isle of Wight.

First thing to do after arriving on site was to find a place on the and first friendships were already formed.

In the following days our bgm test bike was thoroughly tested by the rally participants and one could clearly see the enjoyment in every face.

Our new bgm catalogue was really appreciated and people could check what we have developed.

Next on the list was the International Scooter Custom Show on Saturday.

Our Generation XI Vespa demonstrator was meant to exhibited at the Custom Show. Unfortunately the side panel got lost during an extensive test drive which could not be found again. So we had to find a solution. The maestro of the paint gun Mr. Pfeil had painted our demonstrator ut his company is based in Austria. Here we got luckily support from our good old friend Stoffi’s garage who is based in Austria as well and he was able to forward side panel to the painter. Via Express delivery we got it right in time to pass it over to a scooter group from Aachen who could pass it over to Andy right in time for the custom show.

Our demonstrator was a real eye-catcher. There were many compliments and astonished faces. And all the trouble and the last-minute action with the side panel did pay off at last. We managed to win the category “Best Vespa Street Racer”. It is great to see our demonstrator project being acknowledged abroad.

From there Andy continued his trip back to the English mainland in order to get via Wales to Mersea Island. Here is a picture of our test bike at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales.

The Mersea Island Rally celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. There are many visitors expected and many come just like Andy directly from the Isle of Wight Rally. First Andy found an accurate campsite and then was having a look around.

The weather is pleasant. No rain yet, but a nice breeze. Something different for us from mainland Europe and a really great location for a Classic Scooter Rally.

To be continued…

This spare wheel carrier might be familiar to you from your last Spain vacation. A really beautiful and classic way to mount a spare tire on your Smallframe Vespa. In addition, the usual holder often leads to limited space behind the leg shield.

That’s why we stocked this spare whell carrier in our programm.

The sturdy holder is bolted to the frame at 6 points.

The package includes two rubber pads.

As an aid to mark the necessary holes at the rear one can use one of the holes for the tail light.

Even the rear light in antique style can by installed by drilling an additional hole.

Finally back in stock are our bgm PRO swing arms / stays for all Piaggio Maxi 2stroke engines.

The stay gives the perfect reinforcment to the casings.

Broken casings should be an issue of the past.

The guidance of the rear wheel is much better too and the ride is more stable.

The bgm PRO swing arm was heavily race tested. Amongst others by Kübler Racing team at scooter cross racing!

Classic for the reinforcement of the casings!

Back at your one stop scooter shop!

With the new bgm PRO Cosa clutch for the PX engines, clutch problems with original Piaggio and replica parts now belong to the past.

Without adjusting the clutch cover too much the reinforced basket fits into your engine.

New wave design, 10 springs and a clutch basket made of nitride steel are the ingredients for a reliable clutch.

In order to immediately be able to influence changes and quality of the components, the bgm clutch components are manufactured in Germany.

The delivery of the complete clutch includes a new woodruff key, a suitable clutch nut and an O-ring for the clutch cover.

As of now we can offer you ready for installation, functional and reliable clutches with 20,21, 22 and 23 teeth.

Although, as you can see in the picture above, the basket is increased considerably but the clutch cover only has to be modified slightly. In the picture below marked in red.

Whether or how much of the casting nose has to be removed, depends on the manufacturing tolerances of Piaggio. The overall stability is maintained and the clutch cover does not need not have a wall thickness of less than 1 mm.

With the small PX enginen casings of the PX80 and early PX125 / 150 models, as usual the little casting nose has to be removed for the conversion to the bigger clutches.

The BGM PRO clutch is fitted with 10 reinforced springs, and therefore covers a power range for engines with 20PS + / 22Nm+.

By the corrugated version of the hub the power is safely transfered to the clutch basket.

Therefore the hub of our bgm clutch is always made in accordance with the present bushings and pressed in order to ensure a permanent durable seat.

Of course you can also assemble your own bgm clutch according to your needs.

We offer you a wide selection of DRT and standard sprockets, and springs and base pairings.

Clutch plates are a very important link between the engine and transmission. But an effective clutch is the most important component for safety and performance.

Unfortunately many manufacturers do not take adequate care at such an important component with the result that clutches brake down or do not separate properly. So the few suppliers that work properly always have not enough capacity which results in delivery problems.

The only logical consequence of BGM was the production of own clutch plates. Made exactly to our specifications, we were able to use a very high quality organic coating mixture which is both pressure and temperature stable. The clutch now has a very good grip to be present at the full torque at the rear wheel. The linings are used in all engines, from standard to fully maxed motor setups.

After the Lambretta bgm & MB Developments BIG BOX exhaust project was as far that we can’t do anything more than waiting for the manufacturer and sending reminders every then and now, we thought to move on.

During the early 90ties we sold quite a few T5 and P 200 conversions that Mark did for us. Along the loads of Lambretta conversions. but back to the plot we thought a BIG BOX for the Vespa would be nice and have send some sets of shells to Doncaster. After the Eurolambretta Maks started to weld his ideas into the new BIG BOX. Monday morning it arrived and we started dyno’ing.

We tested on these engines so far:

Here is a selection of some dyno sheets. Uwe did a lot more and we will post some in the next days!

Hope you like it!

For the modern Vespa GTS or GTV we do have some nice accesories in our shop. A few Carbon Style features which suit this scooter very well. ” Chrome won’t bring you home, but mat-black will bring you back”! We do have mounted those parts on a Vespa GTS 300 i.e. in order to demonstrate the look. In the picture above you can see the horn cover with Carbon Look and as well the smoked Vespa Cruiser screen, which will improve the CW. The screen is also available as a transparent version. For the Classic Look we also offer headlight visorsn in chrome and black.

Nice to have is also the engine badge with Carbon Look as well as the side panel set.

Decent and quite sporty is the exhaust blind in Carbon Style.

Furthermore we do have the fork link cover in Carbon Style for you and on top the omudguard crest upper part in Carbon Look.

Planing a new Lambretta project? We have spared no expense and have fought ourselves through several traffic jams to pick up new spare parts. Destination was Casa Lambretta in Milan.

Mission accomplished, goods are now in our shop in Cologne and we will update our database.

The German and Italian markets are now equipped with a relatively thin choice of second hand classic Vespa vehicles.

Therefore, we have obtained for you a few Primavera ET3 models.

The ET3 models produced in the 1980s for the export market are a small special in the Piaggio range of models. While the European market was flooded with the PK 125 model the remaining ET3 were shipped to Japan.

Factory-equipped with Handle bar indicators and the engine is a spcial as well. A ETS Engine with 2 gear cables is pushing the bikes forward.

Due to the stable ETS crankshaft and the PX-Lima-bearing, the motor is already an interesting basis for a powerful motor tourin setup with Polini 133 & Co

The ladies have been manufactured for export only in this execution…

and must now, after having a long way to us, be assemblied together.

The Nippesroller scooterists from Cologne organised once again a common Corso to the 50-70s Festival at the Cologne Rheinauhafen. Meeting point was the Schillplatz in Cologne-Nippes. Not only Cologne scooterists found their way to the meetup. We joined a tour group from Aachen via Düren to Cologne. Even some scooterists from the “Forbidden City” (Cologne/Düsseldorf rivalry). Around 60 scooters left the Schillplatz and were heading down to the festival.

The festival attracted many visitors. A great opportunity tom present our beloved scooters in a classic atmosphere between old road cruisers and classic cars.

It was a great rideout and a great final to a summer weekend.
