PMT tyres – uncompromising sports and racing tyres for scooters

Have you driven the new PMT tyres yet? If you are also in scooter racing, you will know about the enormous importance of the tyres.

It is not only the tread pattern that matters, but especially the right rubber compound. The optimal tyre is tuned:

  • matching the weather
  • suitable for the track
  • suitable for the vehicle
  • suitable for the driving style and ability

We now have a wide range of tyres from PMT Tyres

The enormous difference in performance of tyres in motorsport is immediately obvious to anyone who has tried the legendary PMT tyres.

Made in Italy: PMT Tyres

The Italian tyre manufacturer PMT (Pauselli Modell Tyres) has been in existence since 1990, originally producing tyres for RC cars and the popular Italian minibike racing series. Since they have also developed tyres for motorcycles and especially racing tyres for scooters, they have very quickly achieved a top position among the favourite tyres of racing drivers. The PMT tyres are available in perfect compounds for the various soil, weather and temperature conditions.

PMT Tyres Rain & Intermediate

Slick, mixture: hard

The slick with hard compound is ideal for tracks with high asphalt temperatures and heavy use due to many exchange bends and braking manoeuvres. The hard compound is the most abrasion resistant and can therefore be used very well in Endurance / long distance races. The warm-up phase for the optimum operating temperature (~ 80° C) is significantly longer with this compound than with the “medium” or “soft” compound.
The recommended air pressure for front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, mixture: medium

The medium bridges the gap between the hard and persistent as well as the extremely well adhering but also quickly wearing soft mixture. The medium thus covers a very wide range of applications. Its optimum operating temperature is ~ 75°C and, like the hard compound, requires a longer running-in time than the soft compound to reach temperature.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, compound: soft

The soft PMT compound offers full grip even at lower temperatures. It wears out correspondingly quickly at higher temperatures and then no longer offers its full grip level. On the other hand, it reaches its optimum operating temperature of 70°C very quickly.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and between 1.4-1.9 bar for the rear.

Slick, rain

PMT offers with the Rain Slick a new interpretation of an intermediate. Based on the rubber compound of the pure rain tyre, an intermediate with slick tread pattern has been created. It is ideal for changeable weather conditions with the same proportion of wet and dry sections.
The recommended inflation pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Rain Racing

The rain tyre from PMT plays in the highest league of rain experts for the circuit.
Whoever mounted this tyre needs a good excuse if it didn’t work out with a good placement…
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and for the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Drag race

The Drag Race tyres from PMT are ideal for all quartermill engines.
Here no grip is lost and all power is transferred to the asphalt without slip.
This also means that there is no mercy for clutch or gearbox..

Bgm Classic tyre fitting

, , ,

How do I mount the tyres on a Vespa / Lambretta?

Using our bgm Classic tires as an example, we show the correct mounting of the tire (split rim).

1. Reduce friction

The tube inside is subject to flexing when the tire is unrolled and therefore it is useful to reduce the friction inside by talcum.
The white powder reduces the friction between the tube and the tyre and thus the wear of the tube.

talkum_econ_500_g_streudose_3330131talkum_econ_500_g_streudose_3330131
Talkum -ReifenTalkum -Reifen

A small amount of talcum powder is spread inside the tire and the tube is filled with air just enough to prevent it from expanding and also sprinkle some talcum powder on it.

2. Check the direction of travel

Before fitting the tube, first check that the tyre has a direction of rotation specified by the manufacturer.
This indication can be found on our bgm Classic tire in the form of an arrow on a tire sidewall and points to the direction of rotation of the tire when driving.
The tube is then inserted to match the direction of rotation of the tyre, so that the valve points to the left side in driving direction, typical for Vespa.

Richtung1Richtung1

3. Assembly

For mounting the tyre on the rim, the so-called mounting paste is a real help. With it the tyre can be pushed very far onto the rim. This makes it much easier to screw the two-piece rim together.

reifenmontagepaste_weiss_runge_150ml_3330366reifenmontagepaste_weiss_runge_150ml_3330366

First the valve is put through the wide half of the rim and then the rim is pushed into the tyre.
The narrow half of the rim also has an opening through which the valve is accessible. When inserting the valve into the tire, make sure that the valve hole is aligned with the hole in the wide rim half.

Our bgm stainless steel rims have exchangeable bolts. Please make sure that the head of the bolt is inserted into the square to prevent rotation.

The five nuts of the rim halves are fixed crosswise with 16 – 18Nm. When fastening, make sure that the tube is not clamped between the rim halves.
Then inflate the tyre with 2 bar and check that the tyre and valve are correctly seated in the rim.

New: bgm inner tubes for Vespa and Lambretta

, ,

Modern butyl inner tubes for Vespa and Lambretta

The new bgm inner tubes have been designed to meet the needs of classic scooters. In the last years there has been a great development in tuning measures and, as a result, an increased engine power. Modern disc brakes combined with bgm shock absorbers provide a high-performance scooter. As scooter riders we often gain from the developments of new motorcycle tyres which are then applied to the smaller tyres. Nevertheless for ages no innovations have been developed for tubes, but now we present you our new inner tubes:

inner tube for Lambretta, part no. BGM8700L and inner tube for Vespa, part. no. BGM8700V

Different valve position for Vespa and Lambretta

Our inner tubes are specially manufactured for the specific features of Vespa and Lambretta:

bgm-ventil-90-45-grad

We have a tube with a 90° valve stem for Vespa and other scooters, while for the Lambretta we have a tube with a 45° valve stem. These valves are differently positioned and vulcanised. The butyl quantity is higher than 50% and this guarantees an extremely high air tightness and realiability. Because of the high butyl quantity the production costs are higher, but the result is, in our opinion, a high-quality tube.

Tube-BGM PRO- 3.00-10, 3.50-10, 90/90-10, 100/80-10, 100/90-10 – Valve position Lambretta, part no. BGM8700L, 45° valve stem. For your safety. The position of the valve stem prevents the rubbing of the valve against the rear suspension linkage pin and that, sooner or later, it comes off.

Always faithful to the details and to the classic style

And for the detail lovers we have not only ensured the safety of the right angle of the valve stem, but we have also provided a metal valve cap and a valve extractor, just like the genuine tubes for Lambretta.

High quality and perfect positioning

Inner tubes with a small quantity of butyl have, on the other hand, a higher quantity of rubber which makes them more flexible. As a result, they can be used for many more tyres with different sizes (up to 130/90-10). However, tubes containing more rubber are less airtight. We want to offer a high-quality item, therefore, in order to guarantee a perfect airtightness, we have decided to produce tubes with a higher butyl quantity for tyres up to 100/90-10. For your safety! Meanwhile there are many Vespa imitations but Vespa still represents an outstanding and unique icon the the world of scooters. This has an advantage: bgm inner tubes also fit many other scooters with 10 inch tubed tyres.

Useful information for a trouble-free mounting

When mounting the tyre, please apply the mounting paste on the tyre bead and slather talcum powder over the inside of the tyre. Mounting paste provides the right position of the tyre and talc reduces internal rubbing. This guarantees the safety and long life of your tyres.

Tyre mounting paste -ECON- 1 kg part no. 3330132
Reifenmontagepaste -ECON- 1 kg Artikelnr. 3330132

Mounting paste provides not only an easy fitting of the tyre on the wheel, but it also ensures the right positioning of the tyre. If fitted without mounting paste, the tyre may not be positioned properly on the wheel and, therefore, it loses its stability.

ECON mounting paste can be easily applied with a brush.

Talc powder -ECON- 500 gr sprinkler, part no. 3330131
Talkum -ECON- 500 g StreudoseArtikelnr. 3330131

Talcum powder is essential for a trouble-free mounting of tyres with inner tubes. If fitted without talcum, inner tubes might stick to the tyres. This may cause a damage in the area of the valve, since, due to the movement of the inner side of the tyre, the tube cannot move freely.

Gift idea for scooterists – Lambretta parts

,

Individual gift ideas for scooterists by the Scooter Center team

Name: Philipp

philipp-lambretta-teile

How long have you been working for Scooter Center:

Since 2005

What is your task at Scooter Center:

Basically anything connected to Lambretta. From purchasing to product development and support of our own brand BGM to sales and customer service.

What’s your relation to scooters:

From the moment I made my hobby my profession, scooters play a central role in my day. I currently ride a GT 200 for daily commuting. And I only ride Lambretta. My only Vespa never runs, maybe sporadically, in which case this great battery-powered ignition is on strike or there is fuel boiling in the carburetor. And then I am boiling with rage.

By now I ride scooters for 23 years and it all started with a PX 80 in weathered red… I bought my first Lambretta in 1994 at Scooter Center (then in Rosengarten, another street). It was a SX 200 with original paint, German documents and new MOT. The original paint was soon part of the past and so was the battery tray, which had to give way to the TS1.

There are many greatest experiences with and related to a scooter. This year’s highlight has definitely been riding the original 2 cylinder prototype at the Open Day at the Rimini Lambretta Centre.

Gift idea for scooterists

Seat cover -BGM PRO Alfatex- Lambretta LI, LI S, SX, TV – black

Part no. BGM2700

seat cover lambretta

Why:

A great opportunity to give a seat cover away, which was installed in the 2 cylinder prototype with 12” by Innocenti. During one of our many visits of Vittorio Tessera at the museum we had the idea to produce such a seat cover. Either on our yearly trip to Novegro or while collecting parts at Casa Lambretta. The seat cover has a great look with Alfatex at the sides and is nicely lined to guarantee good comfort on long rides.

Seat cover -BGM PRO Alfatex

Seat cover for standard Lambretta seat frames. The sides and the top of the centre part are covered with Alfatex. The seat was handmade in Italy. Its inlay is made of foam. This guarantees high comfort on long trips.

One of the two two-cylinder prototypes by Innocenti has been equipped with a seat like this.

The idea of using Alfatex at the sides turned to be a standard with GP Electronics by Innocenti.

  • Fits almost every Lambretta seat frame
  • Comfortable, thanks to foam inlay
  • Made In Italy
  • Subtle sporty looks for a Lambretta connoisseur

Supplied with additional metal clips and fastening material for a coherent design of the rivets. The seat strap 8040110 is a suitable alternative.

Toolbox set -RLC Twin Cylinder SX200- Lambretta LI (series 3), LIS, SX, TV (series 3) – GRP – primered

partnumber 3331560

 

Why:

Another chance to give away (or buy for yourself) another part that was specificially made for the 2-cylinder prototypes. This time for the scooter that retained 10″ wheels. The toolbox that you are used from your Lambretta was abandoned, probably to make space for an oil tank to be used with an autolube system. This seems to be the reason for the neat toolbox that is fitted inside the legshield on this twin. From the side is as good as invisible and fits like a glove to the design of the Lambretta. Well, nothing else we would have expected from an Innocenti designed part. The mounting below is done to two of the horncast fixings and for the top fixing you need to drill a M5 hole to the legshield. Sdaly there is a limited production run of these only.

Lambretta Toolbox Set RLC
This toolbox is a superb copy of that designed and fitted to the Innocenti produced Twin Cylinder SX200 Prototype (as restored by the lads at Rimini Lambretta Centre and part of Vittorio Tessera s Lambretta Museum in Milan).

The toolbox is amazing in that when viewed side-on, it’s completely invisible and is VERY sleek in appearance. The lower mounting bolts fit the bottom horncasting retaining bolts. At the top, you will need to drill a small 5mm hole for the single, top mounting bolt. This will be totally invisible though once the toolbox has been mounted. The toolbox is made of fibreglass, comes complete with a grey outer rubber beading and lock (+ 2 keys).

It fits any Lambretta Series 3 LI, SX. TV, GT, Special or Serveta model. Please note that these toolboxes are a LIMITED EDITION item and are served on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Summer is coming!

, , , ,

Today is the shortest day of the year

Still mostly no snow yet: Cold. Wet. Winter. Your scooter is likely to spend the winter in the dark garage or in the grim cellar.

It is just before Christmas – but that comforts the real Scooterist who does not really hide the fact that the time now is not the best time for scooter riding! In this deeply melancholic time we want to give you the scooter riders hope and show light at the end of the long winter tunnel.

Over 7 bridges shall you go to get the seven tips to get over this winter:

1. Motivations video

2. Summer is certainly on its way

Things are improving: Today is the shortest day of the year – that is, the worst is over and summer is coming! How about a new Vespa cup of hot tea or coffee for as long as the summer is slow in its coming. It would also be great to have a new Vespa bath towel ready when summer finally is there – and it also makes one feel good in the sauna during the thumping waiting time.

3. And now become a Scooter Superhero

Get your scooter out of the basement right now and make it a custom project for the SCOOTERSHOW’15! Again, this is the genuine Scooter Customshow 2015 on 21.03.2015 in Cologne

Scooter Customshow 2015

4. The appearance can be misleading

Your motto is more of “Chrome won´t bring you home”? Right now is the best time for an engine revision of your scooter. Using the Scooter Center exploded drawings you can find spare parts for your scooter quickly and easily! Choose here the scooter model or visit all exploded drawings.

5. Let it shine

And then something about the look: Paint care with our new ROTWEISS paint care products

6. Hard Scooter Boys

You don’t know about what I am writing here? Are you always enjoying your scooter through the whole year? My tip: bgm PRO stainless steel rims and good winter tyres. With these on you just go everywhere: Sticky has raced through the desert having the Vespa rims.

Vespa Rims 0397

7. Christmas with friends

By now – along with the desert theme – you should already be getting a bit warmer. But let us return to the harsh reality: Winter. Christmas! So to also leave some sense of Christmas spirit, you can look for bargains in our Advent Calendar (TIP: also retroactively) and win a super cool Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet!

We wish you a terrific Christmas time with friends and family!

With bgm PRO Vespa stainless steel rims through the desert

, , ,

Vespa Raid Maroc 2014: The hardest Vespa race in the world!

This year was the third time for the Vespa Raid in Morocco. A six-day race over mountains and across the desert. But always winding pistes and slalom through football sized boulders and other obstacles.

In addition to the absolute physical fitness, that the driver must have, the achieved average speed counts less than the navigation skills. Because only with the successful drive through all the check points you will get the highest score.

bgm PRO Vespa stainless steel rims

 

Sticky on bgm PRO indestructible stainless steel rims through the desert

For all the rivalry between the teams, the atmosphere of fair play and great helpfulness to each other is practiced. The biggest battle is against the adversities of the nature and not against the fellow racers.
Ferran, one of the organizers, made available for Sticky a pink Vespa PX on the road to enable him to expand his broad portfolio of racetracks. The Vespa PX is well prepared for this type of race and has proven itself in three desert racing seasons. Including the 2011 Pan-Africa Rally, which is the inspiration for the Morocco Rally organizer.

 

I used the BGM rim on the front wheel for 5 days and on the rear for the last two days, Initially I worried that the rear tyre might spin on the smooth rim and rip the valve out when running at low pressures, but it never did. On day 6 I rode to the checkpoint with a deflating front tyre on a BGM rim, but despite hitting some big rocks the rim was still fine when I changed the tube. The lip on the outer edge of the rim is much thicker and stronger than standard. Changing tyres and tubes with these stainless split rims is a lot easier than with loose paint and rusty steel or with tubeless wheels. If the BGM rims prove reliable in the long term then you’d expect every tyre change to be this easy.” Sticky

 

Despite of health problems (which may have had an impact on his top decking passion), he pulls up to 200 km per day on the Vespa.

Especially shock absorbers, rims and tires and the fragile engine housing are in danger to get permanently damaged or completely destroyed. In this picture the nice looking original black standard rim did not stand the stress:

bgm PRO Vespa stainless steel rims

On day 5 it is so far and Sticky get a puncture and broken navigator holder on mixed terrain. The navigator holder is replaced by gaffer tape and the original Piaggio Vespa rims are replaced by the bgm PRO stainless steel rims. The right decision! Not only stable, but also beautiful, the new bgm PRO stainless steel rims – who still needs chrome rims?

In contrast to the completely deformed and wavy rims, our standard bgm stainless steel rims presents themselves at the end of the race still like new and in non-dented condition!

Winterreifen f?r Vespa

Untitled-en

Winterreifen für Vespa: Schon seit 2010 ist eindeutig geregelt: die Winterreifenpflicht gilt auch für uns!

Winterreifen für Motorroller bzw. Winterreifen für Vespa

Auch Motorräder und Motorroller wie Vespa unterliegen der Winterreifenpflicht:

Winterreifen für Vespa

Wer also als Rollerfahrer bei Glatteis, Schneematsch, Eis- und Reifglätte mit dem Scooter unterwegs ist, muss schon rein rechtlich die Bereifung des Rollers genauso wie beim Auto- der aktuellen Wettersituation anpassen. Das bedeutet, dass auch der Vespafahrer auf offizielle Winterreifen für Motorroller mit M+S (Matsch + Schnee) – Kennzeichnung bzw. Bergpiktogramm mit Schneeflocke, Alpine-Symbol zurückgreifen muss.

Jetzt schon Winterreifen für Vespa kaufen?

So mancher denkt sich “bei Schnee und Glasseis fahre ich eh nicht, was soll ich da mit Winterreifen für Motorroller“. Doch weit gefehlt, denn Winterreifen für Vespa und Co. haften wegen ihres hohen Silicia-Anteils schon bei Nässe besser. Und wenn dann noch Kälte hinzukommt, sind die den normalen Vespa Reifen hoch überlegen.

[youtube]_oSewdSC8nw[/youtube]

Unser aktueller Tipp: im Satz portofrei

Unter Tipp bzgl. Winterreifen für Vespa ist aktuell der neue Contimove 365, der als Ganzjahresreifen auch die M+S – Kennzeichnung besitzt und bei jeder Wetterlage punkten soll.

Mit dem neuen Rollerreifen ContiMove365 präsentiert Continental einen Scooterreifen für alle Wetterbedingungen. Diese beachtliche Spanne zwischen Sommer- und Winterreifen erreicht der ContiMove365 inbesondere durch sein hochinnovatives Profildesign. die tief reichenden Lammellenpaare sorgen für eine sichere Haftung – und das sogar auf einer verschneiter Fahrbahn.
Bei Regen garantieren die breiten Drainagerillen eine optimale Wasserverdrängung.

Im Sommer und bei schönem Wetter trumpft der ContiMove365 mit seiner hervorragenden Trockenperformance auf. Der neue Vespa-Reifen erlaubt nicht nur eine sportliche Fahrweise, sondern seine optimierte Silka-Mischung ermöglicht einen besseren Grip ohne lange Warmlaufzeiten.

Contimove 365 portofrei beim Scooter Center: Im Satz für vorne und hinten ist der Winterreifen Contimove 365 meist portofrei in Deutschland. Hier bestellen
