This is sheer driveing pleasure, thanks to the immense similarity to Mum’s / Dad’s Vespa.

Training of motor activity

The balance bike for little children stimulates the kids natural urge to move from an early age. At the same time it is ideal to playfully train the children’s motor activity and balance. Switching to a bicycle later will be quick, easy and safe.

We are BGM – BGM is a brand of Scooter Center

Of course, Scooter Center also supplies other scooter shops with products. And we do this globally. One of our favourite scooter shops is the Italian RLC – Rimini Lambretta Centre.

BGM Italia

Rimini Lambretta Centre We mainly supply RLC with BGM products and we are proud to have convinced one of the major experts for Lambrettas to sell BGM products in Italy.

The RLC team is specialised in the perfect restoration and conservation of Lambretta scooters. For instance even Vittorio Tessera (Casa Lambretta) gives scooters from his precious Lambretta collection to Rimini Lambretta Centre.

Cyclone5, the 5-speed gearbox, is one example for products developed by RLC. Dean Orton and his team often rediscover extremely rare NOS (New Old Stock) parts or rare spare parts.

Lottery tickets available during various events

Tickets for winning the Lambretta are available during events such as the Scootershow in Cologne or the Scooter Meltdown in Kalkar.

Scooterist Meltdown in Kalkar is quickly approaching.

We already started preparations for our stall of Scooter Center and BGM. We are also already looking forward to our joint stall with the Jetsons in Kalkar and to the 25th Silver Special anniversary, where you can win the Lambretta.

As already mentioned before, our BGM parts are used in order to get the technology on a 21st century level. To also assure a visually pleasing look, the Jetsons used their Germany wide network and initiated a nice Lambretta restoration.

Casa Lambretta parts replaced those original parts that needed to be replaced. Lambretta parts in best quality, where the only difference to the original is the Casa Lambretta logo.

See for yourself:

Cleaning the coating

First, the coating of the original paint was removed with acetone. After welding cracks, the ribbing was refinished with a Kraftformer machine. Jetsons charged a real expert in vintage restoration with the sheet metal works. It was Michael of AUTOMAX in Schlangen.
