  • Imbalance test <100 gmm
  • Burst test 24.000 rpm
  • Better cooling

Lambretta pole wheel - Lambretta fan wheel bgm PRO BGM210901

Completely new design
The flywheel is a complete new design based on our experience with all sorts of Lambretta ignitions and the knowledge of our manufacturer. Instead of the weight we refer to the torque of inertia figure. This has an impact of the engine running, smoothness of the engine as well as longevity of the crank drive.

Balancing is the next key issue. It is done to a figure that is used on race engines as well. Each flywheel is individually matched to this figure in Germany. This is the most accurate balancing on a Lambretta flywheel ever.
The flywheel is designed for ultimate reliability and power. It is a one piece casted item. Each flywheel boss is re-machined after the casting procedure to assure a 100% fitment to the Lambretta crankshaft taper. The flywheel is successfully tested to 24.000 rpm. The bgm PRO flywheel is offered as an upgrade for all electronic ignition kits. It can be combined with all stator plates based on the 6-pole layout introduced by Ducati for the dl / GP 200 electronic (eg bgm, Indian, AF, AFR, Vespa conversions and so on). *

Balancing, machining and quality are second to none.

* Because of differences when combined with different ignition parts, the height of the pickup might need to be adjusted. When a problem occurs do contact us or your bgm dealer.

Lambretta cylinder head

Cylinder head Lambretta CNC made in Germany

Fully CNC machined anti warp head made from billet alloy with recessed into bore and four additional fixing screws (8 fixings in total). Made in Germany.

This Lambretta cylinder head is available for 225cc TS1 and for bgm PRO / MB Race tour cylinder.

The requests for the delivery date for our bgm PRO MRB RaceTour cylinder kits get more and more. We are very happy to announce a fixed delivery date for the Mark Broadhurst developed kits. This will be in the middle of June.

bgm PRO MRB RaceTour tuning kit

All the info about the kits you'll find at your Scooter Center Shop:

For all early birds how pre-order their kit untill the 15th of June 2013, we offer a 5% discount *. Simply drop an email to: lambretta [at] scooter-center.com.

* Only for retail customers,

Today a customer and friend of Scooter Center popped in to see how the bgm PRO MRB Big BOx is performing.

The Mugello kit came in tuned to 128 ° transfer and 190 ° exhaust timing.

The carb is a 34 mm Koso and the ignition system fitted is the Varitronic.

The Style63 exhaust made nearly 29 hp.

If you compare the expansion chambers and the Big Box peak power wise they win.

But when it comes to a smooth engine to ride that is easy to hold into the power band than the Big Box is the winner again.

The ignition timing was set to 23 ° -15 °, what is okay for the hig revving monsters. But even with that expansion chamber setting the Clubman out-performs the expansion with roughly 3 hp and 3 Nm more torque low down.

At around 5.600 rpm the JL and Style63 start to perform and double the horse power within a power range of 1.000 rpm. Right for 'general hooligan behavior around twon' to quote one of our favs from a Scootering exhaust test back from the ninties.
Steady acceleration can be found marked red in the dyno sheet!

After our testing of the bgm PRO MRB Big Box Clubman on TS1 engines, we thought it might be a good idea to test the pipes on the test bike.

The engine on it is fitted with the bgm PRO MRB RaceTour 225 kit, bgm PRO 60 mm crankshaft and 30 mm carb. The cylinder kit is unmodified and as it will be on serial production.

Besides the Big Box Clubman we have the JL3 and the Ancillotti.

This is the bgm PRO Clubman vs Sito Ancillotti

As we saw it on the TS1 testing the power and torque advantages of the Big Box Clubman are there. Up to 7.000 rpm there is 1 hp and 2 Nm of torque for the Clubman.

bgm PRO MRB Big Box vs. JL KRP3

From 4.500 rpm to 8.500 rpm (!) The Clubman has more than 1 hp more. There isn't a chance for the JL 3 even not when you consider the slight dip in the torque.

The conclusion is that the bgm PRO Clubman is a good choice for ported and un-ported cylinder kits. Especially the torque and power delivery makes it the choice of weapon on all road applications!

Today we continued our bgm MRB Big Box exhaust test. to continue the testing we have fitted a MRB tuned TS1. This TS1 has undergone the RaceTour tune from Mark Broadhurst. The engine remained the same and is the one fitted to red GP 150.
The MRB tuned cylinder kit comes with the MB forged piston, Tassinari V-Force reeds and a head machined by Mark for ultimate reliability. The Mikuni TMX30 was still used.

TS1 cylinder kit versus MRB tuned TS1 to RaceTour specs, both using the bgm PRO MRB Big Box Clubman:

bgm PRO Clubman versus JL3 / Road expansion chamber:

Exhaust test Scooter Center Lambretta TS1 bgm PRO Clubman versus JL3

With the JL3 / Road being a much favored exhaust (for what ever reasons) we tested our Big Box Clubman against it too. When looking at the dyno sheets, you shouldn't be focused on the peak power alone. Even if peak is 3 hp more, you should compare the width of the power band instead. Or at least as well. If you compare the delivery of power from around 4.600 - 9500 rpm the power delivery is only slightly better, but the more power low down should make the Big Box engine the easier and faster to ride one. Mainly because you easily stay into the power band and don't have to change gears all the time.

Upshot: The bgm PRO MRB Big Box Clubman works on all setups. From original to properly tuned TS1 engines. Watch this space for more dyno work coming!

We have dynoed the upcoming bgm PRO MRB Big Box Clubman today again, this was mainly done to shorten our waiting time. The Big Box will be in stock early March 2013!

Testing was done on Ulf's every day GP equipped with a touring spec ported TS1 and the TMX30.

Comparison was done against the Ancillotti and the favored (for whatreasons ever) JL Road KRP3.

These are the tested pipes!

The Big Box gives more power, broad (y) er power band and more torque. More than 2.5 Nm torque and 2 hp from 4.700 rpm to 6.700 rpm is something you easily feel on the road and that gives better acceleration too.

This shows the comparison between our Big Box and the KRP3 or JL Road.

Even with a little bit more on peak the JL has no chance to out perform the Big Box on the road. The better power and torque figures from 4.500 rpm to 5.500 rpm are the points that count for the big box.

And here again all tourers in comparison.

[Nggallery id = 22]

This is the final report about our pre-Xmas dyno shootout!

The 29.9 hp at the rear wheel of a Cast polini 133 cylinder kit with 54mm bgm sickly, Keihin PWK35AS carb and Fire magic exhaust had to be bettered.

With 29.3 hp Jonas did very well, but missed the goal. Followed by Mathias with 29.2 hp on a Polini 133 rotary inlet engine.

Together - Jonas and Scooter Center- decided to donate the € 100 shopping voucher for “Scooterist-chairty / GSF fundraiser.

Scooter Center likes the idea and is addiotionally offering free dyno time to set up the charity engine.

The gallery shows the atmosphere of the dyno shootout. Something that will hopefully continued very soon. What do you think? Fin.

Because virtual reality can hardly ever beat proper live action, we recommend to have a look at the small but mean Smallframe engines the next time.

Thanks to all the people who dropped in during the day. It was pure fun and we hope to see you soon!

The battle for the precedence is at the voters. The world is waiting for the results, while we are under the impression that the sympathy seems to be at one of the contrahents.

We have election day today as well and we are waiting excited who did the better green shade? While the late 6Ts brought us innovation like long hair, free love and the said Green apple shade.At Piaggio's Vespa as well as for Innocenti's Lambretta.

Especially the Vespa V50 and the Lambretta SX 150 are rare as rocking horse shit and for that and the stunning looks much sought after.

Here you'll find some pictures of original paint Verde Mela scooters as well as the election for the better shade of it!

Planning 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.

Casa Lambretta in our shop: CLICK!

Yesterday our friend Ercole was here again in order to get his Lambretta D Racer ready for the Cologne run on the Nurburgring. His first visit can be found here.

This time he changed the carburator from 25mm to a VHS 30mm carburator.

The blue line shows the test rig from yesterday and the red one his first visit. 1hp more power and a better acceleration was the result. The Scooter Center Team wishes him all the best for his upcoming run.
