In this temple of the scooter the team works on custom scooters and powerful Vespa engines. Here a couple of pictures that show how the Superflow Series are developed. Wolle states:

„We have always tried to expand the limits of the feasible. Our conception of tuning and suspension ensure every tuned-up Vespa an outstanding ride.“Wolle, Scooter & Service

Smallframe, Largeframe and Wideframe?

Here in our blog article we have grouped the classic Vespa models in three categories:

  • Vespa Smallframe
  • Vespa Largeframe
  • Vespa Wideframe

The main difference is represented by the size of their frame. Largeframe models have for instance a larger frame and are heavier in comparison with the Smallframe models.

Vespa Smallframe | SFVespa Largeframe PX, Rally Sprint, etc. | LFVespa Wideframe GS, Rod model, etc. | WF

Vespa Smallframe

The genuine small Vespa models are provided with a displacement of maximum 125cc, e.g. Vespa PK 125 or Vespa Primavera/ET3.

However, the term Smallframe usually indicates 50cc scooters. The frames of the Smallframe models are narrower and lighter. On the engine side there is only a flap to reach the spark plug and other parts.

Smallframe models include for instance the following vehicles:

  • Vespa V50
  • Vespa PK
  • Vespa Primavera

Vespa V50, V90, PV, ET3

Vespa PK, PKS, PKXL

Vespa PK automatic

 

Vespa Largeframe

Largeframe are Vespa models with the maximum power: 80-200cc and up to 12HP. The side panel on the engine side can be completely removed. Largeframe models include for instance:

  • Vespa PX
  • Rally
  • Sprint
  • VNB
  • T4, etc.

Vespa P / PE / PX, T5, Cosa

Vespa Rally, Sprint, GT

Vespa GS160, SS180

Vespa VNA, VNB, VBA, VBB

Vespa Wideframe

The Wideframe models are the Vespas from the early 50s: the very first models with large side panels and often with tube handlebar or headlight on the mudguard like in the rod models “Faro Basso”. All Vespas with a flap under the seat are the Wideframe models. The frames are large because of the wide engine mounting. Here some examples of this Vespa range:

  • Rod model („Faro Basso“), tube handlebar
  • Vespa T1 „Struzzo“, T2, T3
  • Vespa GS1, GS2, GS3. …

A Vespa Sei Giorni?

The Vespa Sei Giorni is among the most sought-after collectors items. A Vespa Sei Giorni, but what’s it all about?

In 1951 the Vespa company’s racing team “Piaggio Squadra Corse” gained massive attention during a race. The “Sei Giorni Internationale” took place from the 18th to the 23rd Septemper 1951 in Varese, in the hinterland of Lake Maggiore in Italy. It was one of the hardest and most important competitions of that time: 220 participants riding over several kilometres in an off-road environment.

Rennen 6 giorni (6 Tage)

Sei Giorni = six days

Still today this six days reliability trial is known as “International Six Days Enduro”. The first race took place in England in 1913, a test of the limits of both daring racers and machines. And in 1951 the Vespa was just 5 years old!

For this race Piaggio modified a small part of three hundred 125cc Vespa models. The racing team “Piaggio Squadra Corse” participated with these ten scooters. But how could the small Vespas, built specially for this race, compete against motocross motorbikes?

Surprisingly the Piaggio company’s racing team (racers: Biasci, Cau, Crabs, Mazzoncini, Merlo, Nesti, Opesso, Riva, Romano, Vivaldi) won the competition with their Vespas, outdoing the offroad motorbikes: 9 out of 10 racers got a gold medal. In 1951, for this top performance the Vespa 125 “Sei Giorni” also won the prize of the Italian motorcycling federation and with their Italian Vespa models the three racers Giuseppe Cau, Miro Riva and Bruno Romano stole the limelight from all other racers.

Near-series racing scooters

The Vespa “Sei Giorni” was optically very similar to the series model. The main differences which were visible were for instance more tank volume, improved aerodynamics of the leg shield and a bigger engine cover.

Vespa Sei Giorni Rennroller Vespa 125 von 1951

Vespa Sei Giorni 2017

As we reported from the motorcycle show Eicma in 2016, in memory of this legendary success, Piaggio released a special edition: the Vespa Sei Giorni 300.

Vespa 300 Sei Giorni 2017

Scooter Center’s Vespa Sei Giorni

After the Eicma morotcycle show 2016, we got the idea of creating a new Scooter Center demonstrator which represents a fusion of the automatic Vespa and the classic Vespa. Just like our Vespa shop where you can just find everything you need for your modern or vintage Vespa.

We were inspired by this new model and wanted to release our own “modern” Vespa Sei Giorni. Alex Stroh (right) und Frank Winkel (left) worked on the project of our new Scooter Center Vespa Sei Giorni.

 

The genesis of the SC Sei Giorni          

Our new Vespa demonstrator was a normal, slightly accident-damaged Vespa GTV…

 Scooter Center Vespa SC Sei GiorniVespa Modellierung mit Bauschaum

Filled building foam?

The filled building foam was just a model for Mathias Laubsch from Blechwerk in Neuss, http://www.blechwerk.com/, who brilliantly transformed it into metal sheet.

 

Huge sheet metal and painting work!

For the typical “nose” we mounted a horn cover which is normally used on a Vespa VNA-VNB. We “just” welded the indicators and the hole under the tail light and Vespa Sei Giorni was brought to the painter…

All plastic parts got a silver coating so that patinatig could be made on “metal sheet” and not on bare plastic.

Then, all metal and plastic parts were painted with a deep red coating which was used in the 50s and then again with a second coating in grey before being painted eventually with the red varnish which recalls the typical coating of the first Piaggio race models.

Custom-made Vespa seat

The seat frame was made in our workshop and given to the seat specialist Holger http://www.sitzbankdoktor.de/ who sacrificed his old leather jacket and made the perfect seat for the Sei Giorni.

Racing handlebar!

The handle bar was replaced with a M-shaped handle bar by Fehling.

Vespa with race patina

In order to get the patina effect we used files and sandpaper!

Shock absorber with outer reservoir

The outer reservoir of the shock absorber increases the compensation volume and therefore it offers a much better response. Also the damping adjusting range has been increased.
The bgm PRO SC Competition shock absorber has a modified basic set-up and hence it can also be perfectly used in combination with rigid sport springs.

The compression and rebound adjustment prevents the diving effect or the rapid extension when wheels pass over bumps.

As a result, this shock absorber is also perfect for more powerful vehicles.
The wide range of damping adjustments allows you to use this shock absorber also in combination with a standard spring and with the right damping adjustment you can still have a comfortable ride.

 

Buy here the new Competition Vespa shock absorber

 

The new shock absorber also fits 8 and 10 inch wheels

Thanks to the optimised size, 165mm, this shock absorber perfectly fits also all 8-inch wheel models with no need to preload the spring or change the inclination of the fork link.

When mounted, the outer reservoir is covered by the mudguard and the front side of the Vespa keeps therefore its genuine look.

Like for the F16 Sport series, also this shock absorber is made of aluminium with hard-anodised finish, available in black and silver.

Rear shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe

The tuning of Vespa Wideframe models (e.g. “Faro Basso” (rod models), Vespa GS3 or ACMA) is becoming increasingly popular. Also Italian tuning companies offer now tuning parts like Wideframe cylinder. For a safer drive we have developed a shock absorber with certification of TÜV-Rheinland.

BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe

The BGM Pro SC SPORT rear shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe fits the following models: Vespa 125 VN1T/ VN2T/ ACMA / VL / VB1 /VD / VGL1 / Vespa GS …

 

Stoßdämpfer hinten -BGM PRO SC/R1 SPORT, 385mm- Vespa Wideframe VM1, VM2, VN1, VN2, VB1, VL1, VL2, VL3, GS150 - schwarz Artikelnr. BGM7755B

 

Sportive, comfortable, adjustable and with homologation

The bgm PRO shock absorbers have factory pre-configured damping and stepless adjustable spring preload. Individually adjustable: the pre-load of this rear shock absorber is stepless adustable.

The bmg PRO SPORT perfectly replaces the genuine shock absorber of all Wideframe models from 1955 onwards. For models until year of construction 1954 the springs and the shock absorbers are separated. A remedy here is the upper mounting bracket of the later models. The Vespa Wideframe mounting is available separately and therefore the bgm PRO shock absorber can also be mounted on scooters before 1955. The item includes two adapters (M8 and M9) which can be used accordingly on the respective models. Moreover, the shock absorber is height-adjustable for a length of 385 – 420mm.

HARMONIOUS

The BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe has been developed for the sports ride on the road, the specific pre-configured damping and spring rate make this shock absorber ideal for a sporty ride as well as for a daily use.

DIRECT

The BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber reduces the typical diving effect when braking, as well as the swaying movement along the longitudinal axis when accelerating. The smoothness and the sportive handling ensure a comfortable and safe ride.

APPROVED FOR USE ON PUBLIC ROADS

The BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorbers have a KBA certification from the German federal office for motor vehicles and ABE homologation.

TECHNOLOGY

The SPORT series have inherited its technologic features from the BGM Pro SC COMPETITION shock absorbers: the SPORT version has therefore the same solid piston rod with 12,5mm diameter as well as a corrosion resistant aluminium body with hard-anodised coating and in matt black.

CONCLUSION

Sporty and comfortable shock absorber with homologation for use on public roads and unrivalled cost-benefit ratio!

New bgm PRO Vespa brake hubs – from scooterists for scooterists

These Vespa bgm PRO brake drums have been developed by Scooter Center. While working on a project for the Vespa Wideframe Alex noticed that the brake hub required some improvements.

This lead to the development of a new brake drum, Made in Germany, made of strong material and with a top braking power. At the same time, we also developed the new brake drum for the Vespa V50 with 9 and 10 inch tyres. The performance of the new brake drums was successful, even in tough tests:

Brake drums work perfectly!!!!!!!!! I took part in the Vespa rally Vespina (with a faulty rear oil seal and a very bad rear brake), up and down through the mountains, with a difference in altitude of almost 1,000 metres, using exclusively the front brake, no overheat, great braking power, amazing!!!!!!!!!!Quotation: Zini, Stoffis Garage

Please note: the brake drums are coated with an anti-corrosion oil. Before mounting the brake drum please remove any trace of oil (e.g. with a brake cleaner, see related items). Like all cast iron brake drums, these drums corrode if not protected and if exposed to moisture. In order to protect the outer surface of the brake drum you can use a heat-resistant exhaust paint.

 

 

New extra flat bgm PRO air filter for CP caburettors

bgm PRO air filter for Polini CP carburettors

BGM PRO Double Layer filter made by Marchald for Polini CP carburettors

Extra flat air filter specially designed for Polini CP carburettors. Available in two sizes:

With a thickness of only 30mm this filter is perfect for the Vespa Wideframe or tuned-up Lambretta.
The 55mm version is also a good option for the Vespa Smallframe.
The BGM filter has been specially developed for CP carburettors. The air filter rubber perfectly follows the shape of the carburettor and this prevents any risk of slippage.

The bell mouth perfectly fits the carburettor and has therefore a streamlined form. Thanks to the compact form and the high permeability of the filter material, this filter is the best option if you want to have a perfect air intake without having a power loss.

Features of Marchald Power Double Layer air filter

  • easy and quick to assemble
  • high filtration performance and optimised air flow thanks to the double layer high tech foam
  • superb airtight rubber, no risk of air leak
  • water resistant – even after complete wetting the filter has not to be replaced
  • washable
  • thanks to the very flat design this filter can be fit in the smallest space
  • integrated bell mouth for best inflow of the carburettor

The length refers to the additional length (millimetres) of the carburettor/filter group after mounting the filter.

Polini CP carburettors

The Polini CP carburettors, characterised by their compact design, are very popular and widely used.

 

The CP carburettor can be used to replace the genuine carburettor of the Smallframe models or to get more power on Vespa and Lambretta engines: indeed, it is characterised by a compact design and therefore offers much better setup options than SHB carburettors.

bgm PRO / Marchald cooperation

We decided to cooperate with the Italian company Marchald, specialised in air filters, and to develop together what we consider the perfect air filter for the CP carburettors.

 

High quality and broad experience in air filter development

The high-quality rubber, which Marchald has used for years, can resist to steady mechanical stress and chemical exposure.

In order to ensure a perfect adherence and to prevent any risk of slippage, the rubber perfectly follows the shape of the carburettor.
Thanks to the two grooves in the rubber and the clamp (also included in the item) the air filter is stably fixed in its place.

Together with its bell mouth the rubber perfectly adapts to the special shape of the CP carburettor, a shape which increases the performance of the carburettor.

 

Air filter available in two sizes

Depending on place available to mount the filter, we have designed this air filter in two versions.

The length reported in the item description refers to the length of the filter once it has been mounted on the carburettor.

The BGM air filters fit all Polini CP carburettors from Ø17,5 to Ø24mm and are available in two sizes: 30mm and 55mm.

 

 

For Vespa Smallframe: 55mm air filter

The 55mm version is a good option for the Smallframe models. Even though the shock absorber is fully deflected, there’s still much space between the air filter and the chassis.

For Vespa Wideframe, Smallframe and Lambretta:

The 30mm version is particularly ideal for the Vespas Wideframe since they can be mounted even in small spaces.

With a length of only 30mm, this filter is short enough to prevent any crash or pressure against the carburettor flap.

 

 

If you use this filter on a Vespa Smallframe you’ll have much more space around the carburettor.

Vespa Wideframe Tuning

Vespa Wideframe models are more popular than ever.

There are not only refined new spare parts on the market, but also development in performance increase.
Existing cast iron cylinders have been refined to wring a little more performance out of them with a rather high input of work.

New Pinasco cylinder

Pinasco will soon offer a new aluminium cylinder with 160cc for the old Vespa engines with 3 studs.

Our loyal customer Andreas Nagy has always been a good friend of this slightly particular Vespa model. He puts a lot of effort in increasing performance of the Wideframes and closely cooperates with Pinasco.

He visited us on our dynamometer with a prototype of the 160cc V2 cylinder. Caliper Bracket 007

Vespa Wideframe racing cylinder

Andreas and we have tested some exhausts on our Scooter Center P4 dynamometer. For example a BGM PRO BigBox Touring exhaust for PX models, whose suspension we have modified to make it fit a Wideframe.

Leistungsdiagramm Prüfstand Pinasco BBT Vespa Wideframe

Performance characteristic dynamometer Pinasco Vespa Wideframe cylinder prototype

10HP and 100 km/h

Sure: a Malossi MHR reaches more than 35HP almost easily on a PX. Compared to this, the 10 horses of a Pinasco racing cylinder won’t take anyone’s breath away. But, please, don’t forget the original “performance” of Wideframes! Original 5HP would have a top speed of about 70km/h on a plain track.

With now 10HP on the 8 inch small rear wheel and a corresponding primary reduction, you may expect more than 100km/h. Just like for an original PX200 for instance.

We are looking forward to the potential of the Pinasco cylinder.

FuelFriend, the smallest jerry can on the market, which is compatible with fuel nozzles!

We’re way in the season! Many scooterists are currently on their way to the Vespa World Days in Saint Tropez / southern France. Next year the distance will be shorter for those Vespa fans coming from Germany. Vespa World Days 2017 will take place in Celle / Germany.

No matter where to, a scooter tour with friends always is great fun. And the perfect equipment adds to the fun and makes the journey also a lot safer!

Transport luggage on a Vespa

Packing correctly is crucial. You should tighten your luggage as central and securely as possible to your scooter. Best would be a bag, which lasts at least as long as your Vespa: the SEA’N’SAND T-Bag Vespa travel bag.

Increase the range of your Vespa

Have you ever had a breakdown due to an empty tank? Our loved scooters often don’t have the largest range, which might be even less after some tuning. We therefore recommend: the durable and safe mini fuel reserve, which also fits in the smallest luggage or helmet box! The scooter jerry cans with 1, 2 or 3 liters volume fit in the glove box of a Vespa PX, T5, etc. See pictures:

Shock absorber for wideframe Vespa

When it comes to Vespa, Pinasco increases work on older Vespas like Faro Basso, Struzzo, GS3…

The rear shock absorber for wideframe Vespa models is their great new product.

Rear shock absorber -PINASCO- Vespa Wideframe 1953-57, Vespa VM1, VM2, VN1, VN2, VB1, VL1, VL2, VL3, GS150

The Pinasco shock absorber fits those wideframe Vespa models, which do not have spring and absorber mounted individually in the rear shock absorber, without the need for further work on lower or upper shock mounts.

Pinasco PN 25441009

You may adjust spring preload and adapt the shock absorber to your individual preferences or varying load conditions.

The shock absorber is made in Italy and available in plain black. This makes the shock absorber fit discreetly in the general looks of a classic Vespa.

The two lock nuts only come to your attention on a second glance.

When exchanging the shock absorber you should also take a look at the upper silent rubber.

The Pinasco shock absorber fits the following wideframe models:

  • 125 (VM1T)
  • 125 (VM2T)
  • 125 (VN1T)
  • 125 (VN2T)

Grommet and blank plug rubber for Vespa & Co.

When transforming or restoring a scooter it’s often the small things that are missing and then might cause the mechanic to loose his cool.

For example: a small blank plug rubber, aka grommet, is missing in order to connect the battery or indicator, or a plug rubber is missing to close a no longer wanted hole, because you want to fit another tail light.

Gummistopfen 003

It’s a sideswipe like this that really takes time and gets on your nerves.

Gummistopfen 004

An open hole in one of the side panels does not really add to the looks of a scooter. You could weld, polish and paint that piece. But you could avoid all this by closing the visible hole with a blank plug rubber.

Gummistopfen 006

A set of blank plug rubbers or grommets helps you in this cause.

The tipp for any garage

The sets cover a wide range of rubbers of the popular diameters, which you need for most of the scooters. All plugs are sorted according to their outer diameter and come in a transparent box. Your scooter garage will remain tidy!

Vespa special tool for vintage scooters

We have added a nice special tool for Vespa by BGM PRO to our program, which is especially suitable for those loving older Vespa models like the GS or younger, also known as wideframes..

BGM7913TL (29)

Tight drive shaft bearing

The following affects many screw connections of older Vespa ladies: they rust and become to tight to move due to ageing, lacking maintenance and not being used. Sometimes this issue can only be dealt with fiendish tricks.

The bearing shield of the centre main shaft bearing is a fitting example. Usually the threaded face ring, made of plain steel, was exposed to acids, old oil and water for several decades. This was plenty of time to establish an intimate relationship with the engine casing’s alloy.

BGM7913TL (1)

Our special solution works for sure

Sometimes it seems impossible to separate these lovers. In this situation a simple face wrench tends to slip off. We therefore “included” the option of preloading to our tool.

BGM7913TL (12)

BGM7913TL (25)

At the end of the bearing guide, you will find a bolt sitting on the drive shaft. This generates preload and prevents the wrench of slipping. You will therefore be able to safely reach the necessary output torque to loosen the nut without a slipping face wrench.

BGM7913TL (3)

The screw will hardly move? Even then you will be able to loosen it without causing any damage to the threaded ring. Wrench in its guide and threaded face ring have the same pitch. Therefore the tool will follow the loosened ring with the same preload. It’s impossible for the wrench to slip off. BGM7913TL (15)

It’s possible to use both popular wrench sizes of threaded rings with this tool.

  • Bolt pitch of face holes 37mm suitable for threaded ring with an inner diameter of 28mm.
  • Bolt pitch of face holes 43mm suitable for threaded ring with an inner diameter of 35mm.

BGM7913TL

The tool is driven by wrench sizes WS22 and WS17. Threaded pins differ in size, which makes it easy to differentiate.
The large pin (l=25mm) fits the threaded ring with the large inner diameter and the small threaded pin fits the threaded ring with the small inner diameter.

Just in case: both pins are available as spare parts.

BGM7913TL (23)

Depending on which threaded ring you want to loosen, you can “hide” the other threaded pin in the tool. BGM7913TL (29)

Item number BGM7913TL

BGM PRO special tool for bearing shield of rear hub of any Vespa wideframe model.
Thanks to smart construction, you may use this tool for both bolt circle sizes (Ø37+43mm). You will have the possibility to preload the tool on the nut. Tool and nut have the same pitch, which leads to a constant preload, therefore it’s impossible to slip off.
