Get one now. Only while stock lasts.
Finally available again! For a long time, the side panels were not available, but now we have received a few from an old stock. Get one now before it's too late!
Sporting look for your Vespa PX, yes please. The side panel of the 4-stroke LML models have four air vents in order to cope with the high heat of the 4-stroke cylinder head which needs more cooling air. This is also a great feature for your 2-stroke tuning measures.
This side panel fits on the Vespa PX models from 1983 onwards, whose panels are already locked in a so-called internal shutter. In order to fit the LML side panels to be to the PX EFL models, we recommend to move the rear retaining pin of the side panel by about 11mm downwards. For old PX models this modification is not necessary.
The winter and new projects may come now. Finally we have the floorboard incl leg shield for Vespa SS90 and SS50 available again.
Finally we can offer you a fast and high quality solution to get your Vespaback to it's former glory. First water floorboard including legshield. Thus the restoration of your winter project can continue. The coachbuilder will thank you with a much smaller bill, since it is less time consuming with the help of our restoration kit.
We do have a conversion kit In order to change the original fitted 8 inch tires Vespa on the larger and more modern 10-inch tires. At the tail the conversion is done very quickly with the conversion of the brake drum and dust sheet (or the complete installation of an PX, Sprint or Rally engine). At the front, however, it is a bit more complicated.
Here one has the choice between keeping everything in the style of the original fork or directly convert to a different, more modern fork, for example, the Vespa PK one. The simplest method is to use the original existing fork and continue to update it with the appropriate conversion kit which you can find in our shop.
The spring and the shock absorber can be kept original. With the conversion to ten inches one has already gained valuable ground clearance, the installation which creates enough room for a racing exhaust.
Old Vespas are often affected with rust at the floor board, this is available as a spare repair part for most models. We've floorboards of premium quality in stock so that your restoration is no missing out of the important bit. These floorboards are equipped with beams and reinforcements.
Floor boards Vespa V50, PV125, ET3
Floor boards Vespa Rally 180/200, GT125, GL150, Sprint 150, SS180 (3 traverses)

2008: Just across the street our new premises are built. With around 2500 square meters of storage and office in Kurt-Schumacher-Str. 1 we finally have the space we needed.
Today SCOOTER CENTER Spare and tuning parts around the globe delivers.
The Internet changed a lot regarding e-commerce etc. Main advantage was that we were able to show our offer in detail outside of the shop. Also, order taking and processing has changed, but one thing has not changed in our 20 years history: we provide service from scooterists to scooterists! At Scooter Center everyone knows that even a tiny part can be urgently needed, regardless of whether the scooter is in daily use or a project needs to be taken forward.
The Scooter Center team is proud to support you guys out there for 20 years now. We are even more looking forward to celebrate with you our 20th anniversary tomorrow. With 10% discount in-store, dyno, parts market, catering etc. it will be a great day for all of us.
The founding dates back two decades now. Today the SCOOTER CENTER GmbH is a company with about 30 employees and still as passionate and closely connected to the scooter scene like 20 years ago.
The team includes trained bicycle mechanics, engineers, and career changers - all have one thing in common: they love to share their own scooter experience with our customers. Pretty handy when it comes to technical advice or help in selecting tuning or replacement parts. We do have many years of experience on the race track as well, as we have been driving across varies European runs.

Initially the first SCOOTER CENTER COLOGNE logo was in classic Lambretta character design. Next logo was inspired by Gordon & Smith surfer style. A few more followed over the years.
Since the late nineties, the serif block design model was state of the art. This logo accompanies the SCK in the 2012 anniversary - 20 years SCOOTER CENTER.

1997: We are moving our premises to the Glessen industrial park. The 1000 square meters in the Ludwig Erhard street seem huge. First, the upper floor is filled with a variety of scooters, parts, and later with two offices. A satellite camp is rented near our old garage. Daily trips and double inventory are not permanent condition so we had to find space.
Along with the move to the industrial park, we launched our first online shop. Today SCOOTER CENTER is the oldest Vespa, Lambretta and automatic scooter shop in the world!
Parallel to the online shop, we are still working constantly with print catalogues. The Vespa and Lambretta catalogs of SCOOTER CENTER do have cult status. They are not only product news, for most scooterists they are reference books. They replace workshop manuals and tuning instructions. The catalogs will be updated regularly and carefully.
To be contiuned ...

1990: MB Developments, Taffspeed, Kegra, AF Rayspeed were and some still are big names in the scooter business. A tuning exhaust or cylinder from one of the famous tuning companies was the greatest. Ulf combines his visits to England meeting more often with shopping trips for friends. The first contacts across the channel had been made.
Germany's scooter scene is booming. The big meetings are taking place in Hamburg, Braunschweig and Aachen. With his GS 4 Custom “Good Thing” Oli wins the 200cc class of the legendary Quartermile in Brunswick.
Also in 1990, five Vespas and T3 Service van (VW Bus) are on their way from Cologne to Lake Garda. Because none of the Vespas broke down, number six is bought. At Mirosso Rent close to Lake Garda there is a Vespa Rally TS 125, which was then loaded on the bus. This TS 125 is the first imported scooter by Oliver and is still with our friend Volker. Mirosso Rent is now a fixed point for Oli and in the coming years, several Vespas and Lambrettas are imported to Germany.
Meanwhile Ulf also uses his contacts in England to get complete scooters. Legendary journeys which often begin on a Friday night with the latest issue of the Scootering magazine.

1984: Oliver Kluger cruising along with his Ciao gang in Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne. Ulf Schröder has already been infected by the scooter virus. With his first scooter, a Zundapp RS50, and his colleagues from Dusseldorf and Gelsenkirchen, Ulf is living the Mod lifestyle to the fullest which has been influenced a lot due to the release of the film Quadrophenia across Europe.
1986: Ulf replaced his Zündapp by a Vespa Rally 200. After several Vespa Club of Germany meetings, he drove to his first international run. The Isle of Wight 1986. Oliver was enchanted by a Vespa PK 50 XL, which will have many different “facelifts” in the following two years. From MOD style loaded with mirrors and accessories via the surfer look to the Scooterboy Cutdown which was typical for that time.

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 “Hammmerzombie”, 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 "Fire magic" 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.
