Lambretta Jet 200 Lifetime Tank

The Lifetime tank is the first Lambretta tank made of polyethylene (HDPE). As the name tells, it lasts a lifetime, and the days of stainless tanks and the associated problems are thus over.

lambretta tank JET200001

The tank has a capacity of 12 liters, it has cutouts for carburetor on both the right and on the left side and takes the place that was originally intended for the tank, airbox and toolbox. The cutouts are chosen sufficiently large so that a carburetor up to 38 mm fully fits comfortably and still provides sufficient room for maintenance work on the carburetor and simple routing of the cables.

mounting

Mounting is very simple: Thanks to screwed-in rubber bushings, the tank is securely and permanently fastened.

Benefits of the Lifetime Lambretta tanks:

  • Impact resistant
  • 100% stainless
  • Lightweight (probably the lightest Lambretta tank
  • Easy installation
  • DOT / CARB compliant
  • 12 liter capacity
  • Made in USA.

5th Cologne night run

Yesterday, we joined the fifth Cologne night run. After finishing work, Alex, Jadran, Andreas and Stefan from the Scooter Center Team went together to Cologne-Ehrenfeld. So present was our bgm Lambretta, which was on several runs this year now has 3,500 km on the clock and which since the EuroLambretta has been running perfectly without any problem. Meeting point was the Neptun Squaren where almost 75 scooter riders had gathered. Many familiar faces were there and it was an amazingly mild October night with 17 °.

At 9pm the parade started. From starting point we headed out of the inner city and went to the rural northwestern suburbs. Around 60km through the night which has been a fantastic view and sound. The tour ended up in a nice local pub back in Cologne. the Scooter Center Team says thanks for this great rideout and we are looking forward to the 6th night run 2013.

Report season final Aachen

On Saturday we drove to the final of the season in Aachen. our bgm Lambretta what with us too. Since 2009 there is always a great season opening and final. Despite the horrible weather forecast there were around 150 scooterists in Aachen. Meeting point was the usual parking space near the Belgian border.

From here it is only 2 miles to the border from where our 60 km tour started.

We did a little stop half way at the American Cemetery Henry Chapel in order to check everything and had a little break.

After the break we set off to Aachen again where we had the chance to call it a day with bbq and drinks.

The Scooter Team says thanks and is looking forward to participating at the 5th season opening in Aachen 2013.

All pics can be found here !!!

A nice video with great impression below:

Season final Dusseldorf

One day after us Classic Day the season finale in Dusseldorf took place. Since the first ride was really good already, we didn't want to miss that one despite all the preparations for our own season finale the day before. Said and done. Sunday morning we started at 9.30 clock with our bgm Lambretta heading towards the "forbidden city". The journey went faster than expected thanks to our Lammy and we were even the first to arrive in the Old Town of Dusseldorf.

Here we had the opportunity for a nice meet and greet. Serving local press was also there and the passers-by and tourists were amazed to see so classic scooters in Dusseldorf's Old Town.

The tour started from the Castle Square then to rural areas of Düsseldorf. After about 50 km tour we finished at a nice beer garden in order to call it a day.

Unwind September 2012

The Scooter Center team says thank you and we are looking forward to the next tour organized by the Düsselvespen.

Euro Lambretta 2012

This year the annual Euro Lambretta took place in Wachtebeke near Gent in Belgium. The venue was an island in the middle of a pond. It was absolutely fantastic.

Around 1.200 scooterists came to the event and made it a really special weekend. The program was well organized and there were many ride outs which we all enjoyed a lot.

We brought our bgm test bike and our 20thth Anniversary shop demonstrator with us. Everyone had the opportunity to test our new designed bgm Lambretta with 22.5hp. We also offered spare parts from our shop.

It was a really great event and that Scooter Center team really enjoyed it. We hope to see you all next year at the Euro Lambretta in Avignon, France.

Our bgm test bike ready for the EuroLambretta

We did select our top gear in order to get our test bike ready for the EuroLambretta. It was a really exciting project and the results are outstanding.

The test bike engine had 22.5 hp on our dyno with our bgm plug & play tuning. We use Indian 200cc casings with bgm MRB RT 225 barrel, bgm PRO 60/110 crank, 30mm PWK carb, MRB RaceTour clutch and hopefully the first sample of the upcoming bgm MRB Clubman exhaust. Does anyone fancy booking a test ride already?

The chassis with ours bgm PRO shock absorbers are putting at the end of bumpy rides. Incredible techniques can be found in this Lambretta. Worth a try.

Custom show Moers

Last Saturday the Niederrunners SC in Moers organized their 2nd Vespa and Lambretta Custom Show. Venue was again the Bollwerk 107 near Moers central station.

Good weather and great food and drinks made this event fantastic. A jumping castle for the kids and lots of things to discover attracted also many young families. Lots of things to see for our small guest, for example one of the exhibited scoters was a “Sponge Bob” memory scoot which brought a smile on the kids' faces.

Many visitors also came with their own scooter and one was able to count around 120 kickstart scooters.

We are looking forward to the 3rdrd show next year and want to thank the SC in Moers for a great day.

Our bgm test bike project

Our bgm test bike. This project will be restored with our bgm parts in order to show it on the EuroLambretta.

After the initial work steps we got an overview of what we needed.

We decided to use a new floor board and side panels as well. With some effort they have perfect clearance between horn cast and leg shield and as well between bridge piece and floor board. Luckily nearly all Lambretta body parts are still available. our Scooter Center Stickers can be seen in the pictures.

The mudguard shape is slightly altered. The shape is a bit more sporty. The brackets for fixing the mudguard to the fork have been welded to the opposite side in order to make room for the weld-on damper brackets.

Now we just need to decide on the color scheme.

Some body parts needed some TLC so therefore we decided to let the body parts being sand blasted.

The engine was checked and ripped apart in order to exchange all necessary parts. The casings were prepared for sand blasting as well.

To be continued…

Scooter Center 20th Anniversary - Season Opening on May 5th 2012

20 years of SCK have to be celebrated. Our season opening this year will be celebrated together with our Classic Day on May 5th from 10am to 4pm.

If you are a passionate scooterist like the company's founders Oliver Kluger and Ulf Schröder, then it is obvious to make more out of it. In 1992, Oliver and Ulf founded SCOOTER CENTER Cologne in their parents' garage. A dream came true. Today, we are the oldest and one of the largest Vespa, Lambretta and Automatic mail-order and online shop on the German market.

This year, our Classic Day will be all about our 20th anniversary. Our shop will be opened as usual and on top there will be a private spare part market as well. To keep you guys motivated we will offer plenty of drinks and food from the BBQ.

In addition to live music the engine test stand will be opened as well. A small fee of 5 € will be donated to the children's hospital in Cologne.

You are all invited to start the season with us. We look forward to meeting you at our shop in Glessen. And here are some impressions from last year:

Scooter Center - MB Developments RACETOUR PROJECT 195 officially launched!

A couple of days Japan's leading scooter magazine SCOOTER DAYS has published an article about a nice joint venture between MB Developments, bgm, KASHIRA products, Taka from lambretta-magazine-japan.net and us. The story started months ago.
Taka wants to be the leading man for the project. Together with MB Developments and we will supply the parts for the bike. Mainly this is the complete bgm range for Lambretta.
There will be created a bike to show to Japanese scooterists. Everybody wants to be allowed to ride and use the bike and get a feeling for a bike built from the best parts available. Originally it was planned to convert a Series 2 to something similar like the Rallymaster. Sadly the frame was to rot and no spare frame easy to get in Japan. So the plan was changed and an officially GP 200 imported to Japan is used now. This had some unique features to satisfy market needs. The headset from the SX range was used for a more 6Ts look. Additional indicators like on the mid version Serveta and a spare wheel carrier at the rear.
The master plan is to give a massive technical upgrade to the bike for ultra reliability. The small engine casings will be equipped with the MBD Racetour kit, bgm 600 mm stroke crank with 110 mm Yamaha con rod, bgm 30 mm PWK carb and Clubman style exhaust. The goal is to get good power, a very wide power spread and ultra low fuel consumption. Therefore the MB reed inlet manifold will be used. For additional reliability the bgm ignition and regulator will be fitted.
For sure chassis and brakes will be upgraded using bgm parts as well. Gadget like Satnav will be powered straight from the DC power output of the regulator. So the bike will be equipped with fuel gauge, rev counter and other nice gimmicks.
After the Japanese disaster the decision was made very soon, that the bike will be auctioned and the money taken spent for the victims.

Big in Japan: Vespa & Lambretta Scooter Meeting

Our good friend Taka Kitagawa has co-organized a scooter Rally in Japanese ISE SHIMA national park. The rally was held in a nice and familiar atmosphere.

The first date for the rally was canceled because of a Typhoon. Finally the rally took place last weekend. Despite the oncoming winter in Japan as well, our friends were indulged with mild temperatures and beautiful sunshine.

After the BIG RUMBLING Rally the Skooter Ride Out is the largest Rally in Japan. The feedback for the rally was second to none and much more entrants are expected for next year's rally.

This is the summary from Taka: "We are obtaining the feeling that SCOOTERING SCENE of Japan began to move. I have really moved deeply! Thank you SCOOTER CENTER!!! In the rias coast, SHIMA-CITY by which we did Rally is beautiful city. Nice Road, nice food and beautiful scenery! Scooter Scene of Japan received the off-season with our rally."

If you have a look at the pictures, you have to agree totally and we are sure, you can't wait until you head of for the next rally.

Thanks for the pictures to Nao Sumii!
