bgm PRO Sport Sitzbank Vespa Sportsitzbank

bgm PRO “Sport” sports seat made by Nisa Italy

Based on the very popular Nisa ‘Sport 20’ seat, we have designed a sports seat for the classic Vespas in the bgm design and had the seat manufactured by the Italian seat manufacturer NISA as a bgm version. The new bgm PRO sports seat is available for Vespa Largeframe and Vespa Smallframe and is available in two versions:

Sport seat with authentic look

The BGM Pro Sport seat has a beautiful Alfatex cover (embossed waffle pattern) on the sides and rear and is also available with grey piping. The seat surface also has a smooth cover with parallel longitudinal seams. For a waterproof surface, these are embossed, not sewn. The appearance of the BGM Pro Sport is thus strongly reminiscent of the classic seat humps of the 70’s and conveys a cool race flair even when standing.

Vespa Seat Configurator

You can also find the seat in the Scooter Center Seat Configurator, have a look at the seat on your Vespa model:

Sports seat suitable for everyday use

In practical everyday use, it is very easy to ride, despite its sporty look. The bench has a pleasantly sized foam padding on which even long tours are fun. A nice feature is the completely padded hump. This provides good support when riding solo, but can also be used as a pillion seat if necessary.

Modern magnetic closure

Another intelligent feature is the magnetic closure of the bench by means of an extremely powerful neodymium magnet. This means that the bench can be opened easily with one hand, but still holds better than many a classic hook fastener. The biggest advantage of the magnetic technology is that the bench rests rattle-free on the supplied fixing plate, which is firmly screwed to the frame. The magnetic force is so high that uninformed people who try to open the seat assume that it is locked.

Top quality – handmade in Italy

The bench frame is made of impact-resistant and durable ABS plastic. The cover is stapled all around and thus very securely and permanently fastened (as opposed to just gluing it on as is usually the case). The frame is equipped with six rubber pads. This distributes the load very well over the entire frame and the bench gives a very solid and full seat feeling. The bench hinge is typically Nisa very solid and sturdy and therefore very resilient. It is also screwed in place and can be replaced (in the highly unlikely event of a defect). Available for Vespa Smallframe and Largeframe (Largeframe models with high tank (GS160, SS180, Rally180/200 need the flat tank of the Sprint/PX models without oil tank)

CONCLUSION: Beautiful flat seat with great racing look but touring qualities!

Note for the Largeframe version and Vespa PX For PX models only suitable for tank versions with hinged lid. Not suitable for Lusso models/ vehicles with oil tank. Order seat:

Is this the most beautiful luggage rack for Vespa oldies?

This front luggage rack for old Vespas is a great repro of what we think is the most beautifully designed front luggage rack!

Luggage Carrier for Vespa Oldtimers

This great luggage rack fits all older Vespa/Motovespa models. It is a great accessory for your Vespa Wideframe (all models from 1946 onwards) as well as for Vespa & Motovespa Largeframe up to approx. 1977 = all scooter models with metal cascade, not Vespa PX.

Choose your style

TIP: I personally like the rawstyle version in bare metal because of the cool solder joints in steampunk look! To get corrosion protection with the same look, the luggage rack can be clear varnished, clear powder coated, waxed or oiled. Of course, you can also have it painted or powder-coated in your colour.

Toptul tools for scooter riders

We have received a large delivery, so the popular TOPTUL tools are available again.

TOPTUL Werkzeug für Rollerfahrer

Scooter Center TOPTUL Shop

TOPTUL has been manufacturing high-quality tools for over 20 years and is absolutely unbeatable in a price/performance comparison. TOPTUL products have been in daily use on Vespa, Lambretta & Co. for years and are always convincing.

As an example, let’s just mention the finely divided toothing of the ratchets. The solid and robust design with 72 teeth achieves a stitching of only 5 degrees (1/72 turn). This means that work can be done precisely and without repositioning, even in very tight places, with little working distance for the ratchet. It goes without saying that TOPTUL tools meet or exceed the common standards such as DIN / ISO / ANSI. The in-house quality control is very strict and is expressed, for example, in an individual measuring protocol enclosed with each torque spanner with regard to the measuring accuracy and the release behaviour. From our own experience, we can recommend TOPTUL products to every “intensive wrench user” with a clear conscience.

MOTO NOSTRA luggage rack Vespa GTS HPE front

This is our new innovative luggage rack for the new GTS models. This MOTO NOSTRA Vespa GTS front carrier offers you two big advantages:

  1. Mounting without drilling = reversible

Simple mounting without drilling

The luggage carrier is simply attached to the top of the leg shield with the two brackets and fixed to the frame with the enclosed special angle plate. In addition, the luggage carrier is supported by rubber buffers on the frame and thus offers a very high level of safety. When folded out, the carrier platform has a pleasantly flat angle. This means that even a larger piece of luggage can be transported without covering the headlight. We have produced the MOTO NOSTRA luggage carriers in three versions:

Convert your old Vespa PX with battery now easily

A modern electrical system without battery on your scooter does not destroy the appearance, it is an invisible and economical increase in safety and comfort, because

  • Without a battery, there is no need to purchase / replace and maintain the battery
  • Your electrical system and all consumers function independently of the battery’s condition or charge level
  • You efficiently prevent corrosion damage to your Vespa PX caused by an overcooked battery/battery acid
  • Significantly more safety due to increased light output = increased visibility = better being seen & and better seeing

Conversion wiring harness for all Vespa PX models until 1982

This wiring harness is perfect to convert your Vespa PX, which has a battery ex Piaggio factory, to a modern and maintenance-free on-board electrical system without battery. For this purpose, we offer an inexpensive and practical set with all the necessary new switches and ignition lock(BGM6685KT). Wiring harness in set with switches

Additionally, for a replacement / restoration, this is the PX wiring harness in the Italian version for models without battery. On this model, the turn signals, the horn (so-called “snare”) and all other consumers are supplied with power directly via the on-board AC system. The ignition base plate used on these vehicles has only 3 cables (contact ignition models) or 5 cables (vehicles with electronic ignition). Wiring harness single without switch

Vehicle models:

Vespa PX battery-free : Conversion without battery

For the conversion of your scooter to the modern electrical system, you need the following parts and save the battery, the wintering and the care/maintenance of the vehicle battery in the future

  • VOLTAGE REGULATOR In general, the simple 3-pole voltage regulator (G|G|M) is used with this wiring harness (e.g. 9100001). The 5-pole voltage regulator (A|A|B+|G|M) originally used on vehicles delivered from the factory with battery can still be used. Only the connections B+ and G remain unassigned (formerly charging current for the battery). A better alternative is the compact and powerful BGM Pro voltage regulator(BGM6690). This can, for example, also supply a USB socket with 12V DC voltage for charging the mobile phone/navi, etc.
  • IGNITION / IGNITION BASE PLATE /LIMA The type with 5-cables is used as ignition base plate (also recognisable by the blue and black cable for the single voltage supply). The original 7-cable Lima of the models with battery can no longer be used. However, due to their age, these often show damage to the cable insulation anyway. Conversion to the more powerful ignition base plate of the later Lusso models (e.g. BGM8025N or BGM8032N) is therefore highly recommended. This increases the total light output of the AC network considerably, as no more current is diverted for battery charging. Thus, even old PX models can be equipped with a 35/35W lamp. Most alternators with 5-cables have a round plug. The wiring harness offered here has (as in the original Italian) 6.3mm flat plugs. Here, either the wiring harness can be converted to a round plug or the ignition base plate can be converted to a flat plug. The necessary parts can be found in the accessories.
  • BLINKING RELAY The models with battery use a DC (direct current) flasher relay. After conversion, an AC (alternating current) flasher relay is required (e.g. 1195703).
  • INSTRUCTIONS / WIRING DIAGRAM The following instructions / wiring diagramwill help you to connect the cables .

Checklist: Spare parts / parts that are connected to the wiring harness

To make sure everything works, you should go through this list and check if your old parts are still OK. If not, you can order them directly from our Vespa Shop via the link:

*9512115 ? 9520072 + 9520074 / **9512027 ? 7675200 + 7675201

CONCLUSION: Absolutely sensible conversion to modern, more powerful and maintenance-free electrics

Tutorial Installation Wiring Harness Video Instructions

This is a PX-Lusso wiring harness, it has different connections, so don’t get confused. However, the basic principle of the wiring harness is the same and this video tutorial may help you to install and connect the wiring harness in the body of your Vespa.

Auf der Couch beim Scooter Center. Ein Interview Julia Spitznas

Being part of the Scooter Center team means to work with great people. Better than working is riding!

On my left and right side at the office, I have passionate Lambretta aficionados. Therefore, it probably was only a matter of time before I ride with one of them. In this case with her, but she is not just any girl, she is Yoleila (at Facebook) or Julia.

She is the president of the Lambretta Club Germany, scooter racer, almost a collector, crazy for the original scooters and parts, graphic designer and I could keep going…

That is, why, we interview her, to listen to those stories that we love to hear.

As a result, a very exciting project is to be started,

stay tuned until the end to find out where it is all about ;)

Vespa GTS 500

Vespa GTS 500

A Vespa GTS 500 is what many GTS riders dream of. An Italian engineer has given it some serious thought and visualised a 500cc model of the GTS, and the YouTube video has been very successful. Every year there is speculation in the scene as to whether Piaggio will bring it this year. Now Björn Dressler from Berlin has beaten Piaggio to the punch. With his project “La Mutata”, Björn is bringing his conversions with up to 44 hp and 492 cc legally onto the road. Before you pull out your wallet: this conversion is not done easily! It takes about 4 months and costs a bit more than most people carry around in their wallets: it starts at 15,000 euros. Marc from Scooteria presents the project “La Mutata”, a converted Vespa GTS 500, in his

video.

La Mutata Vespa GTS

The conversion of a Vespa Gts to a 500 Piaggio engine with German road approval and at least 39 hp! Italian for “The Mutated” – enables riding performance with a Vespa GTS that is beyond that of a 300. All installed components such as chassis and brakes are tuned to the higher torque and the significantly increased peak power. An absolute highlight for all Vespa tuning fans! A road test with the Vespa Gts 500 will be coming soon – subscribe to the Scooteria Channel and don’t miss anything else!
