Every month new in our shop is the scootering. The Scootering magazine was first published in 1985. It covers classic motorsscooters, especially Vespa and Lambretta, the people who ride them, and products of interest to scooterists.
New in stock the Corsa evolution plus seat. Produced in Italy and made of plastic and reinforced with metal. In addition to its sleek racing look, it offers five rubber contact points for a secure fit.
Conclusion: Beautiful sporty seat in 2 different versions. Option 1 and Option 2 . In the first variant, the plastic below the seat can be painted in order to emphasize the sporty design of the Vespa.
Andy, who is on his way for Scooter Center to tour the UK with our Generation XI and bgm our test bike, had started at our shop in Glessen to make his way to the Isle of Wight Rally. A little summer road trip via Belgium and France. In France, route took him along the Normandy coast up to Cherbourg.
From here he took the ferry to Portsmouth and from the ferry to the Isle of Wight.
First thing to do after arriving on site was to find a place on the and first friendships were already formed.
In the following days our bgm test bike was thoroughly tested by the rally participants and one could clearly see the enjoyment in every face.
Our new bgm catalog was really appreciated and people could check what we have developed.
Next on the list was the International Scooter Custom Show on Saturday.
Our Generation XI Vespa demonstrator was meant to exhibited at the Custom Show. Unfortunately the side panel got lost during an extensive test drive which could not be found again. So we had to find a solution. The maestro of the paint gun Mr. Pfeil had painted our demonstrator ut his company is based in Austria. Here we got luckily support from our good old friend Stoffi's garage who is based in Austria as well and he was able to forward side panel to the painter. Via Express delivery we got it right in time to pass it over to a scooter group from Aachen who could pass it over to Andy right in time for the custom show.
Our demonstrator was a real eye-catcher. There were many compliments and astonished faces. And all the trouble and the last-minute action with the side panel did pay off at last. We managed to win the category “Best Vespa Street Racer”. It is great to see our demonstrator project being recognized abroad.
From there Andy continued his trip back to the English mainland in order to get via Wales to Mersea Island. Here is a picture of our test bike at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales.
The Mersea Island Rally celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. There are many visitors expected and many come just like Andy directly from the Isle of Wight Rally. First Andy found an accurate campsite and then was having a look around.
The weather is pleasant. No rain yet, but a nice breeze. Something different for us from mainland Europe and a really great location for a Classic Scooter Rally.

This spare wheel carrier might be familiar to you from your last Spain vacation. A really beautiful and classic way to mount a spare tire on your Smallframe vespa In addition, the usual holder often leads to limited space behind the leg shield.
That's why we stocked this save shell carrier in our program.
The sturdy holder is bolted to the frame at 6 points.
The package includes two rubber pads.
As an aid to mark the necessary holes at the rear one can use one of the holes for the tail light.
Even the rear light in antique style can be installed by drilling an additional hole.
Finally back in stock are ours bgm PRO swing arms / stays for all Piaggio Maxi 2stroke engines.
The stay gives the perfect reinforcement to the casings.
Broken casings should be an issue of the past.
The guidance of the rear wheel is much better too and the ride is more stable.
The bgm PRO Swing arm was heavily race tested. Amongst others by Kübler Racing team at scooter cross racing!
Classic for the reinforcement of the casings!
Back to your one stop scooter shop!
With the new bgm PRO Cosa clutch for the PX engines, clutch problems with original Piaggio and replica parts now belong to the past.
Without adjusting the clutch cover too much reinforced basket fits into your engine.
New wave design, 10 springs and a clutch basket made of nitride steel are the ingredients for a reliable clutch.
In order to immediately be able to influence changes and quality of the components, the bgm clutch components are manufactured in Germany.
The delivery of the complete clutch includes a new woodruff key, a suitable clutch nut and an O-ring for the clutch cover.
As of now we can offer you ready for installation, functional and reliable clutches with 20,21, 22, 23 and XNUMX teeth.
Although, as you can see in the picture above, the basket is increased considerably but the clutch cover only has to be modified slightly. In the picture below marked in red.
Whether or how much of the casting nose has to be removed depends on the manufacturing tolerances of Piaggio. The overall stability is maintained and the clutch cover does not need not have a wall thickness of less than 1 mm.
With the small PX engine casings of the PX80 and early PX125 / 150 models, as usual the little casting nose has to be removed for the conversion to the bigger clutches.
The BGM PRO clutch is fitted with 10 reinforced springs, and therefore covers a power range for engines with 20PS + / 22Nm +.
By the corrugated version of the hub the power is safely transferred to the clutch basket.
Therefore the hub of our bgm clutch is always made in accordance with the present bushings and pressed in order to ensure a permanently durable seat.
Of course you can also assemble yours own bgm clutch according to to your needs.
We offer you a wide selection of DRT and standard sprockets, and springs and base pairings.
Clutch plates are a very important link between the engine and transmission. But an effective clutch is the most important component for safety and performance.
Unfortunately many manufacturers do not take adequate care at such an important component with the result that clutches brake down or do not separate properly. So the few suppliers that work properly always have not enough capacity which results in delivery problems.
The only logical consequence of BGM was the production of own clutch plates. Made exactly to our specifications, we were able to use a very high quality organic coating mixture which is both pressure and temperature stable. The clutch now has a very good grip to be present at the full torque at the rear wheel. The linings are used in all engines, from standard to fully maxed engine setups.

After the Lambretta bgm & MB Developments BIG BOX exhaust project was as far that we can't do anything more than waiting for the manufacturer and sending reminders every then and now, we thought to move on.
During the early 90ties we sold quite a few T5 and P 200 conversions that Mark did for us. Along the loads of Lambretta conversions. but back to the plot we thought a BIG BOX for the Vespa would be nice and have send some sets of shells to Doncaster. After the Eurolambretta Maks started to weld his ideas into the new BIG BOX. Monday morning it arrived and we started dyno'ing.
We tested on these engines so far:
- Malossi Silverfern known from the SCK Newsblog
- Original barrel tuned and used with 60mm bgm crankshaft and Si26 carb
- POLINI 207cc cast iron
- POLINI 210 known from the SCK Newsblog and very torquey
- Malossi 210 choice tuning
Here is a selection of some dyno sheets. Uwe did a lot more and we will post some in the next few days!
Hope you like it!
For the modern Vespa GTS or GTV we do have some nice accessories in our shop. A few Carbon Style features which suit this scooter very well. "Chrome won't bring you home, but matt-black will bring you back"! We do have mounted those parts on a Vespa GTS 300 ie in order to demonstrate the look. In the picture above you can see the horn cover with carbon look and as well smoked Vespa Cruiser screen, which will improve the CW. The screen is also available as a transparent version. For the classic look we also offer headlight visors in chrome and black.
Nice to have is also the one engine badge with carbon look as well as the side panel set.
Decent and quite sporty is the one exhaust blind in carbon style.
Furthermore we do have that fork link cover in carbon style for you and on top of the omudguard crest upper part in carbon look.

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.

The German and Italian markets are now equipped with a relatively thin choice of second hand classic Vespa vehicles.
Therefore, we have obtained for you a few Primavera ET3 models.
The ET3 models produced in the 1980s for the export market are a small special in the Piaggio range of models. While the European market was flooded with the PK 125 model the remaining ET3 were shipped to Japan.
Factory equipped with Handle bar indicators and the engine is a special as well. A ETS engine with 2 gear cables is pushing the bikes forward.
Due to the stable ETS crankshaft and the PX Lima bearing, the motor is already an interesting basis for a powerful motor touring setup with Polini 133 & Co
The ladies have been manufactured for export only in this execution ...
and must now, after having a long way to us, be assembled together.
The Nippesroller scooterists from Cologne organized once again a common Corso to the 50-70s Festival at the Cologne Rheinauhafen. Meeting point was the Schillplatz in Cologne-Nippes. Not only Cologne scooterists found their way to the meetup. We joined a tour group from Aachen via Düren to Cologne. Even some scooterists from the “Forbidden City” (Cologne/Düsseldorf rivalry). Around 60 scooters left the Schillplatz and were heading down to the festival.
The festival attracted many visitors. A great opportunity to present our beloved scooters in a classic atmosphere between old road cruisers and classic cars.
It was a great ride out and a great finale to a summer weekend.
Today we had a real beauty on our Dyno. A Vespa Rally 200.
The aim of this project was to get a tractor torque engine for daily driving.
Base what a vespa PX200 motor, the rotary valve in the housing has been expanded for more discreet inlet angle before TDC. Crankshaft is genuine PX200 crank with 57mm stroke.
The new 210 Polini is filled by a Si26 carb With Polini induction funnel.
because of the Polini induction funnel the available torque in the lower rev range stands out very clearly. The same engine with a Malossi cylinder without the Polini funnel is “missing” almost 4Nm in the same rpm range!
The alloy Polini is supported by a SIP Road exhaust.
From idle speed the engine has proper torque and power.
15hp and 23Nm from 4500 rpm speak for themselves.
With a taller Primary gear the torque can be stretched and relatively high speeds can be achieved at low rpm.
Nice setup!
It's that time again, one of our demonstration vehicles must leave us...
Ape 50 in white, first registration 23/03/2012, 100 km on the clock.
At a special price of 3999 -. €, Full Piaggio factory warranty of 2 years.
Shipping via freight carrier within Germany for just 150 € extra possible.
The fuel supply of the Vespa Largeframe models is due to the small difference in height between the tank and the carburetor float chamber level still somewhat problematic.
If the motor is converted to another type of carburetor the float bowl sits even higher than the original SI counterpart. With petrol hungry engines, this can quickly lead to an insufficient supply, leading to a lean mixture, and this in turn in the worst case result in engine damage.
A key choke point in the fuel flow is of course the fuel tap. The original case has a flow rate of nearly 300ml / min. This would of course be sufficient even for the most powerful engine. A consumption of 300ml / min equals to 18 liters an hour.
VIDEO
With the PX, Rally, Sprint, and similar design models, it is more likly speaking of a minimization of flow resistance in order to always have a high pressure on the carburetor. We did a test in order to illustrate the flow rate of an experimental setup with three different fuel taps. The result was quite clear.
The golden rule was for motors, which are much stronger than the original engine, at least 400ml / min are desirable as flow rate.
Our new Faster flow fuel tap not only doubled that amount, he lays 100ml / min on top of that! Thus he has double the flow rate of a conventional fast flow fuel tap and an incredible three times the amount compared to an original one!
This makes it an ideal addition to all the powerful setups and provides a secure base to supply gasoline to prevent problems in the beginning.
The fuel valve is available in two variants:
