VESPARABA 2024 – Vespa Club Vitoria

, , , , , , ,

Also this year we present you the VESPARABA, the route through Álava on Vespa or Lambretta, which is organized by Vespa Club Vitoria in collaboration with the Diputación Foral de Álava and the Scooter Center is organized.

In this way, VESPARABA is advertised on the Internet, in social networks, on posters and flyers.

On October 5, the day of the Vesparaba 2024, the Plaza de la Provincia in Vitoria-Gasteiz was filled with colour and sound thanks to the 140 Vespas and Lambrettas that arrived from the neighbouring provinces of Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, Logroño, Burgos and Navarra, as well as from Barcelona, ​​Madrid and Asturias.

A 100 km route to visit La Rioja.

The participants had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the smell of two-stroke engines and extensive discussions about mechanics, motorcycles and fuel, etc.

At ten o'clock the tour began, which began with Puerto de Vitoria, Bernedo, Puerto de la Aldea, Laguardia and finally Elciego, where we had lunch. The route and the landscape are impressive, with vineyards along the roadsides and the special smell of earth and wine.

The return trip to Vitoria via Leza and the first-class Puerto de Herrera with gradients of 14% put all the scooters to the test. Once in Vitoria, there was a brotherly meal and the distribution of prizes and gifts.

Many thanks to Adolfo and the whole club for sending us the photos and for letting us share in this experience. 

To Vesparaba 2025!

Lambretta Offroad Cup 2024

Lambretta Offroad Cup 2024

, , ,

The opening race of the international Lambretta Offroad Cup in Frankenthal was a complete and resounding success in every respect! The focus was on fun and the Lambretta's performance capabilities were impressively confirmed.

The idea was presented by JP-Corse's Jürgen Pippig at the LCD's AGM in Wipperfürth in 2023. And at the end of September, the international starting field of twelve teams will be doing pioneering work. They drove for six hours straight on a full-fledged MotoX track according to national specifications. In comparison, a normal race lasts just over 15 minutes. And in this case with vehicles designed for this purpose, it is all the more impressive.

European Scooter Trophy (EST) 2024

, , , , , , , , , ,

The European Scooter Trophy has generated excitement in recent years with its exciting races.

The reports provide detailed information about the prestigious events, including exciting race results, the challenging courses and the impressive performances of the riders. From intense competition to spectacular overtaking maneuvers, each race was a thrilling event, with the best scooter riders from across Europe battling for victory.

Race report for the 5th round of the EST 2024 in Wittgenborn from 07.08- 08.09.2024

Last weekend, the Vogelsbergring in Wittgenborn was the focus of the thrilling final races of this year's European Scooter Trophy (EST) and European Pitbike Trophy. Europe's best drivers fought for the decisive championship points in the final meters. A unique atmosphere of excitement, adrenaline and passion for motorsport filled the air as the machines roared for the last time this season. The changeable weather did the rest and presented the drivers with additional challenges on the technically demanding track. Each race had its own dynamic, and new heroic stories were written in each class.

 

Class 1 – Rookies by Scooter Attack

In the first race of the rookies class, Niklas Altmeppen missed the perfect start, but his talent showed as the race progressed. While Collin maintained the lead, Altmeppen continually caught up and fought his way back. But ultimately Collin was able to defend his lead and won ahead of Altmeppen and Matthias Delle.

The second race promised even more drama. Collin and Altmeppen had an intense duel, which ended with Collin falling because he couldn't handle the pressure. Altmeppen took advantage of the opportunity and took the lead. Behind him, Brygala and Delle fought for second place, with Brygala coming out on top in the end.

  1. Niklas Altmeppen (45 points)
  2. Louis Brygala (33 points)
  3. Matthias Delle (32 points)

Class 2 - SuperSport by Deutscher Bauservice

The race in the SuperSport class was stopped after a dramatic fall by Hermann. He slipped on an oil slick left by a previously broken vehicle, but luckily suffered no serious injuries. After the restart, Sascha Sperling confidently took the lead, followed by Niklas Diabelez. Third place went to Thönnissen, who benefited from the problems of other drivers.

Daily ranking Class 2:

  1. Sascha Sperling (50 points)
  2. Niklas Diabelez (40 points)
  3. Federico Vanore (29 points)

Class 3 - Expert by Scooter-Attack

The Expert class offered exciting battles for position, especially between Andreas Lukas and Gras. Gras led the field in the first race, but Lukas remained stubbornly on his heels. Stefan Schnelle secured third place with a consistent performance after winning the duel against Schmitt.

In the second race, Lukas had to finish the race to win the championship, while Schnelle and Schmitt were tied for second place. Gras, who played no role in the championship, put Lukas under pressure, but he was undeterred and took the lead. Schmitt's technical problems caused him to fall back, while Schnelle crashed and had to fight his way back to the front. In the end, however, it was Lukas who won the race and took the day's victory.

Daily ranking Class 3:

  1. Andreas Lukas (45 points)
  2. Carsten Schmitt (33 points)
  3. Stefan Durchner (25 points)

Class 4 - Supramatic & BigBore

In the first race, the Supramatic class was doomed by a technical defect in Lukas' vehicle, when his radiator burst and made the track impassable. After the restart, Yannik Ong drove confidently to victory, as his pursuers Daniel Lövenich and Markus Dürr had no chance of catching up.

Daily ranking Class 4:

  1. Yannik Ong (50 points)
  2. Daniel Lövenich (33 points)
  3. Markus Dürr (32 points)

Class 5 - PitBike Stock by Scooter-Attack

Florian Geiger showed a masterful performance in the first race and won comfortably. Behind him, Schweitzer and Gras fought for the other podium places, with Schweitzer coming in second.

In the second race, a strange incident caused a stir: Geiger drove with the wrong transponder and thus started outside the classification. Nevertheless, he delivered a spectacular duel with Schweitzer at the front. Daniel Arnold secured second place after Koch fell after an overtaking maneuver by Schweitzer. Collin Münch finally finished the race in third place.

Daily ranking Class 5:

  1. Florian Schweitzer (45 points)

Scooterliada 2024

ScooterLiada 2024

, ,

Another fine edition of the ScooterLiada Rally from Liadas Scooter Club (LSC) under the Asturian clouds and rain brought together vintage Vespa and Lambretta owners from different places. This year the event was only open to historic vehicles for the first time. A very nice bunch of machines, one more exceptional than the other. Participants came not only from different places in Asturias, but even from Pontevedra, Ciudad Real, La Coruña, Badajoz and Orense! 

We met with our Lambrettas and Vespas in Plaza de Europa of Piedras Blancas, near the town hall. From 11.30am we set off on a quick tour of some neighboring places, enjoyed an aperitif at Mesonín de Tere and had a wonderful lunch at Hotel Arias Aeropuerto, before the big awards ceremony and a raffle started at 17.30pm. We had the pleasure of welcoming Toño Feijoo from Tourism and Vespa that covered our event.

Also present was the Vespa Club de España (Vespa Club of Spain), Alfonso Murciego, its president encouraged people to collaborate with next Vespa World Days to be held in Spain, Asturias (Gijón 1-4 May 2025).

The 12th ScooterLiada offered a huge program that ended at 22.00pm after a live performance by the local band Gemtonics (funk and soul covers).

“It went very, very well! We had about 75 scooter riders and 95 people for luch, which met our highest expectations. Our goal this year -and once again- was to gather fans and admirers of the scooter scene from home and abroad to share wonderful emotions and experiences with them”

Mino Suarez.

“As I say pretty much every year, we couldn't do something like this without people like you. Our event is getting better and better and we really appreciate the support you guys have given us this year. Thanks to you guys at Scooter Center, this little scooter group in the community remains pretty strong and isn't going away anytime soon. On behalf of Liada’s Scooter Club and our many participants this year, I want to thank you!”

Javier Perez.

Thank you Javier and Liadas Scooter Club for sharing the photos, for your words and for thinking of us when organizing the event, greetings and congratulations on all that has been achieved!

ENIMC – XVIII National and International Meeting of Motonetas 2024 La Mesa, Colombia

, ,

Colombia has a very short history in the Vespista and Lambretta world, if compared to any European Club, but it has adopted all this culture in the best way, appropriating it and potentiating the creation of fraternity through its meetings.

ENIMC

There is an annual celebration that brings together all the country's Vespa and Lambretta riders, a tradition that began in 2004 and since 2010 has adopted the acronym ENM (Encuentro Nacional de Motonetas) for inclusion with the umbrella name of all scooters with handlebar shifters and flat floor that are part of the culture (Vespas, LML, Bajaj and Lambrettas).

La Mesa, Cundinamarca

As a country with a large territory, the choice of location is always crucial. This year, 2024, the aim was to hold an international (Latin American) meeting, so the 18th edition was held last 16th and 19th August in La Mesa, Cundinamarca, two hours from Bogota, the country's capital.

This allowed delegations from Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and El Salvador to participate.

Antonio Andrade traveled thousands of kilometers on his Vespa PX from Peru to visit the Vespa friends he made last year and then to attend the meeting, where he met more than 200 Vespa and Lambretta drivers.

Activities 

The Vespa Club Bogota (with roots in the “Classic Scooter Group”) is the second oldest club in the country (2005), after the Vespa Club Medellin (founded in 1999), which with roots in the Vespa Club Antioquia gives its first glimpses at the end of the 60's. Clubs that hand in hand started the tradition of meetings in the country, along with the different activities that compose it.

The Vespa

The “VCB” (Vespa Club Bogota) has been characterized by its insitutionality, which has given solidity to the various clubs. Despite all this rigour, the VCB never forgets to have fun and is the official organizer of La Vesparada, a track designed with the exact turning radius of our scooters to test the different driving skills.

The Imperdibles (The Must-Sees)

An idea that emerged last year and now in its second version, is a contest that rewards the best “Motonetas” of the event in different categories.

Yellow Move

An activity proposed by the interesting community of all yellow Vespas @yellowsquad, which consisted of a competition to test balance, drawing and memory skills, with a prize of an original 3D paper puzzle.

Vespas in Colombia

The Vespa market in Colombia is very different, with two crucial points:

The economic opening in the 90's that gave rise to the import of Vespas PX and T5 in the country, with entry mainly through Medellin and Cali and whose volume was not sufficient to sustain a representation and demand for spare parts, so their maintenance and the acquisition of parts has developed the creativity and recursion very characteristic Colombian.

The second crucial point was the official representation of Vespas in the country with the arrival of the Modern Vespa, representation that is currently in the hands of "The Coaches", but it is the SXL and VLX from India that fill the streets, Vespas that do not exist on the European market, which again means a challenge in the acquisition of spare parts.

Super Motori

One of Scooter Center's main distributors in the country is Super Motori, whose accurate knowledge of spare parts helps Scooter Center to offer parts specifically designed for Colombia's unique needs.

Special thanks to Miguel, Lorena and Javier, who make Scooter Center cross borders and contribute to the maintenance and preservation of this passion.

We leave you with the words of Miguel:

 

"For us it is more than gratifying to bring Scooter Center in some way to Colombia and even Latin America, having access to spare parts is what allows us to help the conservation and preservation of scooters is possible, but also to give love to the modern Vespa that are certainly booming today and as we would say here in Colombia 'play with them' because we believe that every scooter has a piece of its owner and this is always transmitted, is its essence.

All that remains for all of us in the Super Motori team is to thank you for your support, for always being ready and willing.

Remember #todossomossupermotori."

All in one for the misma pasion y con algo en común: 'el amor por las motonetas', the excusa perfecta para deleitarnos un fin de semana, rodeados de un clima cálido, las risas por doquier, la camaradería, el volver a ver a quienes We don't have the latest version, or simply conocere a different approach to the original question, which you will learn from the routine and compare. Donde no somos desconocidos, pues el hecho de tener a una motoreta ya es sinónimo de Hermandad.
A week later there was no chance of the sorpresas and gifts of the patrons, obviamente Scooter Center No se podía quedar atrás y estuvieron presentes fueron los encargados de obsequiar a través de nosotros una mochila super útil y practica, llaveros, libros y stickers fueron mas detalles para los assistants, se organizaron carreras lentas a cargo del Vespa Club Bogotá y la tradicional “ “Vesparada” is a career in habilitation and many motorized vehicles.

siempre aprender. The first prize for the event is a cargo of 4W together with other patrocinadores who have a Vespa moderna 0 km, personalized for the taller Container Garage with an exclusive, high quality.
Sin duda lo que mas felices nos hace es ver la sonrisa de toda esa gente que al ver el desfile de cerca de 200 motonetas porque había desde la Motovespa Española, la tradicional Vespa PX, varias Lambretta, algunas Plus tanto originales, like 'Vespeadas' y obviamente manyas Vespa modernas, hasta la Scomadi cromada de Carlos Esquivia estuvo presente; The traffic was detenido observando tantas motos, the personas salían desde de sus casas a saludar de manera amable, quienes aprovechaban para grabar a video, tomar una photo or simplemente se atrevía a preguntar ¿de que que año es la moto?, ¿que cilindraje es? o ¿que estábamos haciendo en La Mesa (Cundinamarca)?, it una grata sensación y una de las razones por las que nos gusta participar de los encuentros, pues es la excusa perfecta para darle esa chispa a nuestro heart, que nos da ese combustible para seguir sumando kilometers. Donde la distance no es excusa para para assistance, pues quienes participamos de estos eventsos sabemos que es muy importante; no por nada nos visitan tantos extranjeros, que de seguro están muy felices y con maravillosos recuerdos, esperando desde ya el próximo, agendandose y planeando vivir new adventures and new routes.
Para nosotros is mas que gratificante lograr traer a Scooter Center de cierta forma a Colombia e incluso Latinoamérica, tener ese acceso a repuestos es lo que nos permite ayudar a que la conservation y preservación de motonetas sea possible; But you can also drive a modern Vespa that you can see through the eyes of the people and as they come to Colombia 'juguetearlas' can help you learn how to ride the motorcycle and have a child and it is transmitted, it is so important .

International 6-hour off-road endurance race in Frankenthal / Germany on Lambretta

In September, the start of an international off-road race on the Lambretta will take place in Frankenthal. The idea was presented by JP-Corse's Jürgen Pippig at the LCD's AGM in Wipperfürth in 2023. The feedback is sensational, not only considering the fact that it is the opening event.

When?    20. - 22. September 2024

Where?        AMC Frankenthal

Canada Vespa Days 2024

Canada Vespa Days 2024, Kingston, Ontario

, , , , , , , , ,

Last 21-23 June  Canada Vespa Days were celebrated in Kingston, Ontario! This event was the first National Vespa event in Canadian History – or at least that anyone in attendance knew about! And Scooter Center was a proud sponsor!

Tickets were limited to 120 members of any official National Vespa Club. The event was sold out months ago! And almost 90 Vespas were proudly parked for everyone to see!

On behalf of the Vespa Club Canada (VCC), Jeff Schneider, President, and Julie welcomed all participants, who were happy to register, pick up their goodie bags and to check out the merchandise for sale.

Although this year's Vespa World Days could not be held there as planned, VC Canada proved that it could make it a truly international meeting. Participants arrived not only from coast to coast across Canada, coming from Comox and Vancouver, British Columbia to Halifax, Nova Scotia, riders also came from the United States, Germany, Austria, Italy/Peru, and even the Philippines.

Jeff Schneider VC Canada

Participants were able to sign up for various rides, including a quick scoot around the town of Kingston, a ferry ride to see Wolfe Island by scooter, a ride along the St. Lawrence River to Brockville where riders were met by a local historian who explained the importance of Canada's first Railway Tunnel, as well as a scoot through the twists and turns of the countryside and a group lunch on one of the area's lakes. There were also group boat cruises through the waters connecting the 1000 Islands and a ride to a local brewery housed in a farm owned and operated by the same family for 8 generations. A gala dinner, complete with raffle prizes and a silent auction, concluded the first Canada Vespa Days event!

Scooter Center was invited, but this time we could only make our presence felt through some raffle prizes and silent auction items, as well as adding some items to the participant goodie bags. Until the next event…!

Vespa scooter Wideframe

A Wideframe Racers “on the track”.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the Vespa racing world, everything has its place and the best example of this is the Wideframe Racer of the Nagy family.

Moritz, Julius, Manuel and our dear Andreas from @NagySheet roller have joined forces and Wideframe Scooter built for the racetrack that meets your demands for design and performance.

So far there are not many Wideframes that are used in circuit or sprint races. These few racers are often equipped with engine concepts from the 80s, as these are considered by the builders to be more powerful and reliable. Andreas' team took a different approach and crossed the original engine block with modern components to show that 50s technology can also have a place in today's motorsport.

The result is the “Flying Snail“, a racing snail with a modern chassis and the latest engine technology, which has already completed its first laps on the racetrack with great promise.

We are always happy to support this legendary Lambretta meeting. A sure bet at every Eurolambretta was our friend Andy from Andy Francis Scooters. He often secured support with spare parts on his own. As this is no longer possible due to the restrictions imposed by Brexit, we decided at short notice to try it. So we booked around 150 kg of spare and wear parts and packed them pre-sorted into the delivery van and set off early on Friday morning. Enough to deliver the first spare parts on Friday as well as our new Lambretta bgm catalogue to distribute.

After a short night in the van, we head straight to the Lambretta spare parts service on Saturday morning. It was exhausting but also great to see so many old and new friends again. The only downside was that the time was far too short.

We would like to thank all participants and especially the Lambretta Club France for the great organization!

See you in Scotland 2025!

Ves'part des Anges

Ves'part des Anges – VC Cognac

, , , , , , , , , ,

The last weekend (May 24/25.2024) took place the first event of the Vespa Club Cognac: Ves'part des Anges

They started off on the right foot by creating this beautiful graphic and choosing an amazing name, inspired by the small amount of the cognac that evaporates from the wood in the barrel, this loss of liquid is known as that “part des anges” (the angel's share).

They welcomed old scooters from France and Europe to discover the region, a tour through the vineyards, the heritage and the gastronomy of Cognac.

Véronique Chenu, President of the Vespa Club of Cognac tells us a little bit about it:

“Our event ended with an extraordinary weekend, our participants are delighted, walks, restaurants, tasting, concert, great, thank you Scooter Center for the participation, each #RealScooterist had their welcome bag filled with treats…”

Thank you for letting us participate and we wish you many more editions of Ves'part des Anges, cheers!

Concours d'Elegance

Faro Basso's exhibition had a special ingredient with the Concours d'Elegance, as we were able to learn first-hand the history behind these works of art.

has the first license plate and was registered in August '47.

ROD Model Douglas 1953

The first owner gave it to him on the condition that he would continue to use it and take it to events like this.

He got it with all the original parts, even the tire inflator.

Vespa 125 U -1953 (Utilitarian)

One of the most exciting stories was how he was able to find the only previous owner of his Vespa via Facebook.

This enabled him to purchase the last missing original part for his vehicle.  The license plate!

He also received a photo from the previous owner (1970's) with the Vespa from times long past. He recreated this in a wonderful tribute as a thank you.

Vespa VN2T 1956

He and the Vespa are from Vespa Club Pordenone and the Vespa is the famous model from the movie “Holidays in Rome”.

He is the oldest member of the Vespa Oldimer Friends Munich.

MISCELA Day 2024 and Trofei Malossi – what a great fun!

, , , ,

It all started with the decision to choose an exhaust for the 1000km trip of our GTS Keyless 2023 and we went for the Malossi.

We took the opportunity to stop off in Bologna to visit Malossi on the way to the Pontedera Vespa World Days, where I was able to see what is behind the brand, and it is impressive, all the scooters were beautifully presented in an enviably clean workshop , and walking around the huge site we even picked up our order on the way to Germany, making us feel at home.

Malossi Exhaust here!

There we were invited to their event, the timing of which coincided perfectly with our return of the VWD to Germany, this time in Modena. The event took place on 21.04.2024 at the Autodromo di Modena and consisted of two main parts:

Miscela Day

Some of the things we found at this meeting were the Dyno, dj set, Contest of ugliness and arrogance where the only rule is to be yourself, a simulator: Moto trainer and a pit walk to make the speed experience closer, the shop, food and drinks, and even a tattoo area with flash designs by Malossi.

It's amazing how the atmosphere of speed and performance is in the air, an event that left us amazed and with a wide participation, from children riding their bikes on the rear wheel, to the most professional on the track, to those who bring their uniqueness scooter designs to show them off to the connoisseurs.

Malossi trophies

in the 37th edition, we had the opportunity to live closely the experience of a scooter race with Joe Shack, all the tension before and after the race, the physical and mental preparation and the support of a great team, which together, will define results in the seconds that these races last.

In the boxes you could also find it Malossi Racing Academy with the Italjet Dragster 200cc.

in short, an event that speed lovers have to experience once in their lives.

The Scooter Center Team was waiting for me so I had to hurry and that was the best decision because we took advantage of the opportunity our friends from Malossi to visit and they helped us with the 1000km service of the GTS.

Vespa World Days parade

 

Vespa World Days, Pontedera 2024

The event was organized in record time and Pontedera was chosen because of the 140th anniversary of the Piaggio factory. The Vespa Clubs of Pontedera, Florence, Pisa and other locations have come together to support the logistics required for an event of this magnitude.

All Vespas are beautiful

Although we know that the customization options of a Vespa are unique, at a meeting with more than 15.000 Vespas there is something to see for every taste.

#RealScooterists everywhere

We find scenes like from a Renaissance painting. how we saw several Vespisti repairing a Vespa, a beautiful couple from Greece with a sticker showing them as they are or the clever choice of costumes for the parade (Corso). The #Realscooterists don't lack creativity.

The highlight was undoubtedly the commitment of Pontedera and all the surrounding villages. The shops were decorated with Vespas and all the residents greeted with applause and smiles the kilometer-long line of Vespas that filled Tuscany with Vespa charm for over three hours.

On the first day we were able to take part in the tour of the beautiful village of Lari, which was a gastronomic experience. We could also Nicola Limpennatore in the Vespa Village, who performed his incredible feats on a Vespa.

the next  Vespa World Days will take place from May 1st to 4th, 2025 in Gijon, Spain and we will follow the preparations closely.

Scooterist Meltdown 2024 10th Anniversary

, , , ,

The first February weekend of the year is an absolute must for everyone Real Scooterist at. The Scooterist Meltdown in Kalkar is an all-inclusive weekender in a class of its own. Depending on the package you book, it ranges from five days to just one nighter or the big custom and dealer show on Saturday.

The program is designed in the best Scooterist tradition. The nighter starts on Friday at 20 p.m. and Saturday at 19 p.m. In 3 locations (Main Room, Indie Room & Ska Bar) you can dance to the finest Northern Soul, R'n'B, Ska, Reggae, Madchester & Brit Pop and alternative tunes until 3.00 a.m. You can also chill out or bowl in the hotel bar.

Live bands on both Friday and Saturday round off the program.

 

On Saturday there is traditionally the big custom and trade show during the day. And this year it completely broke the mold with 70 exhibitors from all over Europe. There has never been so much going on and we can judge it quite well, as we were able to be there with our SC stand at nine out of ten Meltdowns.

We were able to exchange the hottest news and the latest gossip in the scene with around 2.000 visitors, customers and friends throughout the day. And one thing is already certain: next year is definitely booked!

 

Thank you very much and congratulations to the Scooterist of 84 crew on turning ten!
