Internal news from SCOOTER CENTER. Here we let you take a look behind the curtain.

Scooter Center Shop closed

Next SC Open Day on August 28, 2021

“The Scooter Center is closing its shop“, That we would ever say that was unimaginable, even unthinkable, just a few months ago. The thought of it brings tears to our eyes. We have been selling scooter parts since 1992, personally, with passion and love for what we do. The shop was much more than a place of business for us. It was also the perfect place to exchange ideas about our common hobby, to get feedback and also constructive criticism.

But of course we also received a lot of price, which we were happy about and which always inspired us. The last fifteen months with Corona have changed a lot. Home office workplaces have become just as much a standard as online meetings, minimum distances, hygiene regulations and protective measures. Since the Corona-related closure of the shop in November 2020, we have worked hard to make it possible for you to pick up your goods. This is how our click&collect came into being.

In order to compensate for the permanent closure of the shop, we will continue to offer and expand the click&collect. We are currently working on pick-up options outside our business hours to offer you greater flexibility than ever before. We love the contact with you, our common hobby, laughing together, talking shop and talking up. So we are looking forward to the upcoming Open Day on Saturday 28 August. In addition to this, we have other special events in the pipeline, so that we can continue to talk together about the most beautiful hobby in the world. Be curious what we will come up with for you.

BGM RELAUNCHES A CLASSIC

bgm has launched a new tire which is a throwback to the old days of scootering but using modern technology. Simply labeled the Classic, the tread pattern is similar to that of the Michelin ACS. For those that can't remember, the ACS was one of the best tread patterns ever designed for the scooter, not only giving good road-handling properties in the dry but also in wet conditions. For years it was standard issue equipment for both the Vespa and Lambretta. Even today, original examples of the ACS can fetch huge sums as owners want that retro look. Michelin destroyed the molds back in the late 1980s and so it was consigned to the history books. Thankfully BGM has brought it back to life with the company's new design. The Classic is speed-rated up to 150kmh / 93mph, which is very impressive. This is down to a strengthened carcass which not only improves stability at high speed but also when cornering. Cornering is aided even further by the V shape of the pro? Le compared with the U shape, which allows more surface contact as the lean angle is increased. Using a revised compound, they are super grippy in any conditions. Not only does this mean that owners with standard machines who want that classic tire look will bene? T but also those with tuned engines can use them as well. The Classic is made in Germany and available in the traditional 3.50-10 size. These tires are now being distributed in the UK with many dealers already stocking them. For more info: www.scooter-center.com
