ARROW Exhaust for Vespa GTS

ARROW exhaust systems available for Vespa GTS

With us you can now also get ARROW exhaust systemsagain. Maybe you have already noticed with our Vespa GTS – Custom-Special that most custom scooters from CafeRacer 69 have an Arrow exhaust system installed. This is certainly not without reason, the Berlin Vespa Customizer Team knows what it does! Scooteria has made a nice comparison video here and compares the original Piaggio Vespa GTS exhaust with the ARROW exhaust:

Test ARROW VS. Vespa GTS Exhaust

Gianelli & ARROW History

Giorgio Giannelli founded ARROW SPECIAL PARTS in 1985 and very successfully built racing exhaust systems for professional competition. In the 4-stroke and 2-stroke sector, drivers in various classes won world championship titles with the Arrow exhaust systems. In the meantime Gianelli and Arrow have brought their know-how gained from racing to the road and offer exhaust systems for the Vespa GTS, for example. The sound, the workmanship and the performance make it for many the best exhaust for the Vespa GTS. Of course available with E-marking and approval!

Lambretta gear changing cable routing & trunnions

Lambretta, Uncategorized

How to get the Lambretta gear changing work perfect and smooth?

We take a close look at the controls and what can be done down from the headset thru the cables to the gear swivel and gear selector arm on the engine casings.

Let’s face it the last Lambrettas have left the Innocenti factory half a century ago. And not everyone has been maintained and serviced regular and as it should be done. One of the many beauties on the Lambrettas is that they are very simple to work on, especially with the right tools, right parts and the right hints (Sticky). There are three areas to look at:

Handlebar / headset
Cables
Engine casing

Lambretta handlebar / headset

Thru the Li family there had been different changes on the internals of the headset. On well- maintained bikes most of the time taking everything apart, cleaning and put it properly greased and lubricated can do the job. When you are up the job, it won’t do no harm to renew all the bushings in the headset. These are the guides for the gear and throttle rods. Available as handy sets from Casa Lambretta:

Li Tv Series 1 and 2: https://www.scooter-center.com/product/8800050
Series 3 up to 1965: https://www.scooter-center.com/product/8800051
Series 3 from 1965*: https://www.scooter-center.com/product/8800052

*also dl / GP range

If you need additional spares a nice way to find them are our exploded views, that are online for all Lambretta scooters. Here you see the dl / GP headset:

https://www.scooter-center.com/en/innocenti-lambretta-gp-200-dl-200/exploded-views/handle-bar-speedometer

Once everything is properly rebuild and any slack is taken out –especially of the gear change housing and the gearchange rod- you are done with the headset and can have a look at the cables.

Lambretta cables and routing

Essential are Teflon / PTFE lined cables. These run super smooth and are maintenance free. The bgm cable sets are especially made for the Li family Lambretta and have some unique features. The right inner and outer cable lengths are granted. Here you find additional info about how good these are: https://blog.scooter-center.com/en/cable-sets-bgm-pro-for-vespa-and-lambretta/. Back to the plot: Once you have routed the outer cables in the right way as can be seen on the bgm’s fitting instructions:

Cable set bgm PTFE inner liner- Lambretta DL, GP | BGM6401N
Cable set bgm PTFE inner liner- Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3) | BGM6400N

https://www.scooter-center.com/media/pdf/20/9a/2c/Einbauanleitung_c80.pdf

It’s time to fit the inner cables. On the brake and clutch levers use a good blob of grease to keep everything well lubricated. Especially the lever screw, the trunnion of the inner cable and all operating and moving parts.

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/8008200

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/19062019

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/19062021

A run-down of the inner cables with Teflon spray does no harm and especially the operating of the clutch is much more easy:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/G280512

Topp Tipp: If the bolts of the clutch and brake lever are not properly greased they can wear off the holes in the light switch housing and gear change housing. These can easily been repaired with the oversize bolt:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/8900009

Lambretta engine casing

The most important thing is to avoid any unwanted slop in the gear swivel, tie rodgear change and the the selector arm. Luckily there are many different choices for everyone’s tasting available.

Selector Sets

Like the made to original specs Casa Lambretta gear selector set:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/7676338

Or the high grade CNC machined set from bgm Made by JPP Tuning for us:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/BGM2290B

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/BGM2290

Trunnion Sets

Paired with the bgm trunnions you really have a perfect and long lasting set:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/BGM6466

This is the full bgm trunnion set:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/BGM6465

Lambretta Tool & Tool bags

For sure the bgm trunnions have the original 3.5 mm allen key size as found on original machines as well as on original toolbags supplied with your brand new scooter:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/3331475

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/8050083KT

Something we went not original is the allen key for adjusting these. The bgm one comes with a ball end. This makes adjusting the gear change trunnions a cakewalk as you come across the clutch cable easily:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/BGM6466TL

Topp Tipp: For all the rusteration freaks out there that want to keep their Lambrettas as original as possible we have over size trunnions made for preserving worn out gear swivels:

https://www.scooter-center.com/product/BGM6466P

The oversize makes the trunnions fit perfectly in used gear swivels. If necessary, grind out new shifting paddles minimally.

These compliment perfectly the inner cable sets:

LML Karosserie Blechteile Rahmen für Vespa PX

Get now the very last LML framesets for your Vespa PX

Largeframe, News, Vespa

LML Piaggio Vespa licence buildings from India

“Lohia Machinery Limited” is the abbreviation LML. Would you have known it? And did you know that we already
travelled to India
in2014 to see the
production process for ourselves and to visit the LML factory in Kampur?

Our “souvenir” was a few containers full of complete LML frame sets with all necessary sheet metal parts, already painted. These body kits are a great replacement for Vespa PX frames.

A success story takes its course, but will there be a happy end?

Die allerletzten LML Rahmensets für VESPA PX - Timeline LML Vespa PX

Watch this video on YouTube

In 2015 we were able to unpack the first boxes and offer these popular restoration sets for the PX series.

Yes, there were rumors and somehow it was to be expected, but we were still very upset when we
had to report the end of LML
not even 2 years later
:2016. Since then there are only remnants of the parts, which are or were mostly a good, often the only alternative for original Piaggio Vespa parts.

In 2019 Maryzabel has started to build Platónika based on an LML set and one of the last LML motor housings and LML fork for disc brakes. Sweetened with many great bgm PRO parts, such as the 187cc cylinder for being the heart of the whole project.

2020 – now is the time! It has come as it had to come: Also the stock of our LML frame sets for Vespa PX is now coming to an end. Just in time for the beginning of autumn we give you the chance to order the very last LML body kits.

My TIP: Buy now, before it’s too late.

Now save one of the last LML frame sets

LML frame set for Vespa PX under test

We use the framework ourselves for our Platónica project. But also for example the Vespa-youtuber Kevin, from Savage Scooters, got this frame as a replacement for a warped and rusted through Vespa PX frame. In this video he unpacks our LML frame set and shows you the quality and also the final result, which is quite impressive:

Piaggio Ciao Monoantrieb oder Varioantrieb?

Piaggio Ciao mono drive or vario drive?

Mofa, Uncategorized

Differences Piaggio Ciao / Bravo / Si / Boxer mono drive and vario drive

Attention! The most important thing directly in advance – The components of the mono drive and the variator drive are not compatible or mixable with each other! The crankshaft is the same for both types of drive.

From the outside, this transmission ratio is most easily recognised by the side covers on the left in the direction of travel.
If the side cover also has a bulge at the back, it is a variator model.

1. Variator drive
2. Mono drive

Converter / variator

In the variator model, the converter unit with the integrated clutch is located at the rear. In the front is the variator. The advantage of the variator drive is that it provides you with a stepless automatic. When starting briefly translated, on speed long translated. The principle is still used today in every automatic scooter.

3. Combined converter / clutch unit
4. Variator

Mono drive

Classically the German mopeds have the mono drive with 25 km/h, but there are also moped versions with the mono drive, without variator.

5. Pulley
6. Coupling

Clutch bell, pulley and V-belt

In the front is the clutch bell, inside the V-belt of the moped runs on a groove with a diameter of 26mm inside. (6)

The rear pulley is mounted directly onto the mono transmission. The mono gearbox can be recognized by the fact that the gearbox shaft protrudes only approx. 13mm from the gearbox and only the flat belt pulley is installed (5). This has a diameter of 90mm at 25km/h mopeds. The standard transmission of the Ciao has a ratio of 10,5:1, the Bravo has a ratio of 8,5:1

( see also Piaggio Ciao Mofa Tuning )

7. Variator gearbox
8. Mono transmission for belt pulley

Useful upgrades or tuning of the transmission ratio

Mono transmission:

The simplest tuning to increase the top speed is to lengthen the gear ratio.

There are exactly three possibilities with the mono transmission:

Change the front clutch, take the clutch out of the moped and put the clutch in at 30 km/h.
The standard clutch has an inner diameter of 26mm, the 30km/h clutch of 41mm.
Replace the rear pulley. The original pulley of the Ciao has a diameter of 90mm.
But only the pulleys with 70mm or 80mm are really drivable, because the suit is still acceptable here when starting.
Exchange of the transmission. To find out the gear ratio look briefly under: https://blog.scooter-center.com/piaggio-mofa-tuning-und-setup/

INFO: The standard moped transmission of the Ciao has a ratio of 10.5:1, by installing the 8.5:1 transmission of the Bravo, the total gear ratio is increased by about 20%.

TIP: Very inconspicuous because clutch and pulley can remain original.

bgm PRO Oil Seals / Simmerrings FKM/Viton®

Lambretta, Largeframe, News, Smallframe, Vespa, Wideframe

bgm PRO shaft seals made of high-quality and ethanol-resistant (E10) FKM/Viton®*

Brand new in our shop are the new bgm PRO Simmerrings for many Vespa and Lambretta models: Shaft seals bgm PRO

optimum protection
double sealing thanks to dust lip
recommended for each engine Original or
tuned high-performance engine
twice as temperature resistant
suitable for extremely high speeds
permanently alcohol resistant -perfect for scooter meetings ;-)
very good gas impermeability
high thermal stress
very resistant to aging

bgm PRO Wellendichtringe Viton® - Simmerringe Vespa und Lambretta

Watch this video on YouTube

WHY SHAFT SEALING RING MADE OF FKM/VITON®

The material FKM (fluorocarbon rubber) is extremely resistant to heat, friction and fuel/ethanol. Current super fuel in Germany already contains up to 5% ethanol per se.

In other countries the ethanol/alcohol content is significantly higher. Conventional radial shaft seals can swell or soften when in contact with fuels containing ethanol.
The bgm PRO FKM/Viton® shaft seals offer perfect protection against this. In addition, Viton is twice as temperature resistant as conventional (blue) NBR shaft sealing rings , has very good gas impermeability and is also very resistant to ageing.

WHAT ARE THE SIMMERRINGS SUITABLE FOR?

An engine equipped with bgm PRO FKM/Viton® rotary shaft seals can therefore also be operated with E10 fuel (10% alcohol content). The high-quality brown Viton®* sealing material is permanently resistant to alcohol and is also suitable for engines with high temperature loads and high speeds.
bgm PRO FKM/Viton® radial shaft seals are therefore suitable for all engines, whether original or tuned high-performance engines
.

For reasons of environmental protection and in favour of maximum flexibility of the sealing lip, we deliberately avoid additional PTFE/Teflon®* loading of the sealing lip

ADVANTAGES OF BGM PER SHAFT SEAL!

The BGM PRO rotary shaft seals offer a double sealing as an additional feature. All rotary shaft seals that seal against the atmosphere have a so-called dust lip. This is positioned before the actual sealing lip and keeps dust, dirt and moisture away. This further increases the already good stability. INDIVIDUAL & AVAILABLE IN A SET The BGM PRO FKM/Viton® oil seals are available individually and in sets for almost all Vespa and Lambretta engines.

NEW in the Scooter Center Shop: CLICK & COLLECT – order online and pick up at the warehouse

News

Again new opening hours at the Scooter Center – from October.

From October 2020 the shop will be closed on Saturdays. From Monday to Friday the shop is open from 13 h to 18 h.

New is the possibility of CLICK & COLLECT (see below). With this you can pick up your online order personally from us. The collection is possible from Monday to Friday between 8 h and 18 h.

Scooter Center CLICK & COLLECT Online bestellen - Im Lager abholen

Watch this video on YouTube

Why is that?

To be honest, this was not an easy decision for us. Our opening hours have hardly changed in almost 30 years. Okay, in the early days there was sometimes a sign in the window that was closed because we went on a run. Which wasn’t a big deal, since that’s where we met.

The times are changing and with it the service idea has to go along with it. In the last years the rush on Saturday was partly so enormous that the shop was full to the last place and numbers had to be drawn like at the supermarket counter. Our cash desk workplaces were filled to the last place and also the use of temporary staff in the warehouse to shorten the ways of the guys from the cash desk did not really ease the situation. A persistently unpleasant situation with long waiting times and much too much pressure. A situation that does not correspond at all to our service and service concept. But it also could not really be solved due to the limited capacities at the cash registers.

The Corona period has not eased the situation and we have come to the conclusion that we want to break new ground and thus make a better service experience possible. The fast and contactless pick-up by Click & Collect is intended to compensate for the limited opening hours of the shop.

When the Corona-related situation has eased, we will hold a Meet & Greet at our premises at regular intervals. Stay tuned!

Tip: Use Mo-Fr from 8:00 – 18:00 the possibility to pick up goods via CLICK & COLLECT!

Scooter Center CLICK & COLLECT

Is Click & Collect grayed out and not selectable? This may be due to the wrong payment method:

Vespa Alp Days 2020 Reloaded

Events, News, Runs & Nighter, Vespa - Videos, Videos

Photos and Videos Vespa Alp Days 2020 Reloaded

One thing in advance: we are already looking forward to next year’s Vespa Alp Days 2021 in Zell am See(June 01-08, 2021) and are confident that we will be able to celebrate “normal” Alp Days with you again. Registration and information you will find soon here: https://www.the-alp-days.at/

Everything is different this year. Corona makes it ~~possible~~. The date in June was cancelled, like many other events. Most of the scooter meetings fell victim to the epidemic. But then the Vespa Alp Days, under these difficult conditions, fortunately took place in the Alp Days Reloaded Edition.

We from the Scooter Center have been following this super Vespa meeting in Zell am See since the World Vespa Days 2009, when we were already the main sponsor and represented with a large stand and team. This huge international Vespa meeting was the birth of the following AlpDays event, which should take place for the 11th time this year. The Scooter Center is again the main sponsor and once again we were on site, albeit in this special situation with a mini team. What the two of us were able to experience in this short time was simply amazing: We started at 9:00 am in the morning with the Großglockner Bergpreis, I have never seen so many Vespa Rally 180 / 200 in one place before. Have a look here:

Videos Zell am See 2020

The result is 2 videos.
Tip: for the Großglockner exit Full Movie
you should take 30 minutes. It’s worth it! The course of the road in connection with the breathtaking mountain scenery at 2,500 meters above sea level make the scenery and the video simply epic.

I don’t know how Nicole and Franz always do it with the weather, but see for yourself!

Modern 2T engine oil in retro packaging

From the outside on old and beautiful trimmed, you get inside our modern and well proven bgm PRO two-stroke oil: Street Motor Oil 2-stroke synthetic – 1000ml. The vintage oil can with patina look looks great on your old scooter. For our Vespa Smallframe Generation XI we used e.g. the oil bottle holder from MRP:

The bgm PRO 2-stroke synthetic oil is a first-class and highly resilient two-stroke oil, which meets the strict Japanese JASO FC test standard. Based on an excellent base oil, many high-quality additives ensure excellent protection of all components. The high classification as JASO FC makes it extremely low in smoke, perfectly suited for use in engines with catalytic converters. The almost residue-free combustion keeps the entire exhaust tract clean and ensures a long service life of exhaust and cylinder. The special additives ensure a stable lubricating film in all temperature ranges under high engine load. Corrosion protection is just as much a matter of course as the self-mixing properties and usability in engines with oil pump and injection systems.

The classification in the highest ISO test category impressively proves the high load capacity and quality of BGM Synthetic Oil.

Of course we also have speedometers up to 120km/h, which are also perfect for a clean original restoration.

Brake Caliper PORCO NERO POWER Vespa GTS

We have already presented the Porco Nero Power brake for Vespa GTS here. Meanwhile there are the “sucking” brakes for front and rear:

Now there is a great video from the workshop of the custom and tuning company Cafe Racer 69, Berlin, Germany, known for spectacular Vespa GTS conversions. In this great video of the Scooteria custom project you will be shown clearly and in detail how the Porco Nero brake is mounted for Vespa GTS:

4-piston brake caliper with TÜV/ABE

We offer the Porco Nero Power Spiegler brake caliper for front (4 pistons) and rear (2 pistons) and in different colours. With us you get the Vespa GTS brake system ready to install:

Exclusive and completely ready-to-install 4-piston brake caliper with TÜV/ABE certificate from Spiegler, manufactured according to the specifications of Porco Nero Power (Stuttgart). This impressive brake was designed for all Vespa GT/GTS/GTV models with and without ABS.

The brake calliper specially manufactured by Spiegler is precisely matched to the Piaggio brake pump and thus guarantees a well-metered braking point.

The finest workmanship and completely CNC-milled body promise high stiffness without torsion at low weight. The hard anodized surface does not only look great, the spectacular look remains as well, because this way there is no fading and furthermore the cleaning is simplified!

The brake comes ready to mount, no further adapter is necessary, because the brake caliper is screwed on directly. The PorcoNero is therefore also directly suitable for 12 and 13 inch rims!

The sintered brake pads, paired with 4-piston power, allow a short braking distance and direct feedback.

Thanks to the low-friction brake pistons with special seals, the Porco Nero Power brake system offers comfortable handling paired with outstanding performance and is also an easy-care and durable product!

Mofarocker on Tour!

News

Altötting – Cuxhaven and back. Almost…
Three men, three mopeds and a mission. A short drive from Mühldorf (near Altötting) to Cuxhaven.
The approximate route looks like this and cannot be reconstructed exactly because of the many small roads and field paths.

From the start there are five stages to Cuxhaven and the daily stages were always between 200 and 250 km.

After a short breather in Cuxhaven on the German North Sea coast, we went to the Scooter Center in Cologne in two days. There 1,600 km were written on the watches of the three.

Where the journey unfortunately came to an end for two of the trio and the mopeds returned to Altötting in the van.

The reason is a technical problem with the spare motor from the luggage. Probably because of the brute power development, the crankshaft broke off.

Number 3 continued the journey on his own and finished successfully on the axes of his ciao. I wonder if that was due to the 0.5 l beer can holder on the handlebars?

Alex Stroh, The Technical product manager of SC

With the Platónika project, I get to know better and better to my partner in crime of this whole project and I am too happy to learn each day from one of the best Vespa mechanics I probably have met.

Beside he is also involved in the racing circus (on a Vespa of course) and -nothing more, nothing less- he is also one of the master minds in the development of bgm products for Scooter Center!

So -as I already know him- I thought it is time to have a look behind the scenes of SC and introduce to you Alex. Who many already know for his work, but few of his history.

I hope you like it, and if you have any more question, don’t hesitate and open fire! ;)

Vespa GTS LED indicators with running light

Modern Vespa, News, Vespa, Vespa - Videos

The perfect indicators for your Vespa GTS conversion

We have already presented the popular LED indicators with dynamic running light from MOTO NOSTRA. Our partner Cafe Racer 69 also likes to use the indicators in their Vespa GTS conversions. Not without reason, because the tinted turn signals offer an exclusive and noble optics. In action the GTS running light indicators are spectacular, furthermore they fit perfectly into the design and the lines of the Vespa GTS bodywork: see also here in the video!

Easy to install

Now there is a video on Youtube, which shows the easy installation of the LED indicators very nicely:

Vespa Gts 300 hpe "British Classic" Teil 6 - Vespa LED Blinker von Moto Nostra

Watch this video on YouTube

The Vespa GTS LED turn signals with running lights are available in clear glass or black tinted, individually for front or rear and in an affordable set:

Buy LED indicators for Vespa GTS

MOTO NOSTRA indicators with dynamic running light for Vespa GTS

The MOTO NOSTRA turn signals have individually controlled LEDs and thus produce a fully dynamic running light, just as one knows it from vehicles in the luxury class (e.g. Audi A7). The generated light effect is very pleasing and offers a pleasant change to conventional turn signals. As an additional feature, the front turn signals have a bright white daytime running light strip in plasma look. At the rear the same technology is used as position light.

WHY LED? MORE SAFETY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY!

Besides this wonderful visual enhancement of the scooter and the possibility to individualize its GTS and thus stand out from the crowd, there is another important point that speaks for these great LED indicators:

This new technology increases the optical width of the rear end in the dark and significantly improves perception in road traffic. The bright LEDs of the turn signals are already clearly visible from a long distance. The running light is also optically better detected than with a conventional turn signal.

QUALITY

A special concern for us was the quality and fit. Both are on a very high level with the MOTO NOSTRA turn signals and therefore a high-quality alternative to the Power 1 turn signals.
In addition, the Moto Nostra indicators are always supplied with connection adapters. Therefore, there is no need to make any changes to the wiring harness!

APPROVAL: NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TÜV

Of course the indicators have a test mark and are approved for public road traffic (no TÜV approval required).
