Vespa Gepäckträger Ulma Asseccoire Style

Is this the most beautiful luggage rack for Vespa oldies?

This front luggage rack for old Vespas is a great repro of what we think is the most beautifully designed front luggage rack!

Luggage Carrier for Vespa Oldtimers

This great luggage rack fits all older Vespa/Motovespa models. It is a great accessory for your Vespa Wideframe (all models from 1946 onwards) as well as for Vespa & Motovespa Largeframe up to approx. 1977 = all scooter models with metal cascade, not Vespa PX.

Vespa Oldie Gepäckträger Wideframe & Largeframe Ulma Nanucci Style

Choose your style

TIP: I personally like the rawstyle version in bare metal because of the cool solder joints in steampunk look! To get corrosion protection with the same look, the luggage rack can be clear varnished, clear powder coated, waxed or oiled. Of course, you can also have it painted or powder-coated in your colour.

Vespa gearbox for the Wideframe Vespa V30-33, VM, VN, VL, VB1

900 Euro seems to be a lot of money for a Vespa gearbox at first sight. Even at second glance the amount is not less, but the gearbox parts from our Italian friend Stefano Benelli rightly enjoy an excellent reputation and are worth every cent! They are essential if you want a reliable gearbox that has been tested in racing.

Rear shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe

The tuning of Vespa Wideframe models (e.g. “Faro Basso” (rod models), Vespa GS3 or ACMA) is becoming increasingly popular. Also Italian tuning companies offer now tuning parts like Wideframe cylinder. For a safer drive we have developed a shock absorber with certification of TÜV-Rheinland.

BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe

The BGM Pro SC SPORT rear shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe fits the following models: Vespa 125 VN1T/ VN2T/ ACMA / VL / VB1 /VD / VGL1 / Vespa GS …

Sportive, comfortable, adjustable and with homologation

The bgm PRO shock absorbers have factory pre-configured damping and stepless adjustable spring preload. Individually adjustable: the pre-load of this rear shock absorber is stepless adustable.

The bmg PRO SPORT perfectly replaces the genuine shock absorber of all Wideframe models from 1955 onwards. For models until year of construction 1954 the springs and the shock absorbers are separated. A remedy here is the upper mounting bracket of the later models. The Vespa Wideframe mounting is available separately and therefore the bgm PRO shock absorber can also be mounted on scooters before 1955. The item includes two adapters (M8 and M9) which can be used accordingly on the respective models. Moreover, the shock absorber is height-adjustable for a length of 385 – 420mm.

HARMONIOUS

The BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe has been developed for the sports ride on the road, the specific pre-configured damping and spring rate make this shock absorber ideal for a sporty ride as well as for a daily use.

DIRECT

The BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber reduces the typical diving effect when braking, as well as the swaying movement along the longitudinal axis when accelerating. The smoothness and the sportive handling ensure a comfortable and safe ride.

APPROVED FOR USE ON PUBLIC ROADS

The BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorbers have a KBA certification from the German federal office for motor vehicles and ABE homologation.

TECHNOLOGY

The SPORT series have inherited its technologic features from the BGM Pro SC COMPETITION shock absorbers: the SPORT version has therefore the same solid piston rod with 12,5mm diameter as well as a corrosion resistant aluminium body with hard-anodised coating and in matt black.

CONCLUSION

Sporty and comfortable shock absorber with homologation for use on public roads and unrivalled cost-benefit ratio!

Vespa Wideframe Tuning

Vespa Wideframe models are more popular than ever.

There are not only refined new spare parts on the market, but also development in performance increase.
Existing cast iron cylinders have been refined to wring a little more performance out of them with a rather high input of work.

New Pinasco cylinder

Pinasco will soon offer a new aluminium cylinder with 160cc for the old Vespa engines with 3 studs.

Our loyal customer Andreas Nagy has always been a good friend of this slightly particular Vespa model. He puts a lot of effort in increasing performance of the Wideframes and closely cooperates with Pinasco.

He visited us on our dynamometer with a prototype of the 160cc V2 cylinder. Caliper Bracket 007

We would have liked to take an even closer look on the 160 Pinasco.
Sadly the prototype of this cylinder remained hidden under the cylinder covering.Caliper Bracket 006

Vespa Wideframe racing cylinder

Andreas and we have tested some exhausts on our Scooter Center P4 dynamometer. For example a BGM PRO BigBox Touring exhaust for PX models, whose suspension we have modified to make it fit a Wideframe.

10HP and 100 km/h

Sure: a Malossi MHR reaches more than 35HP almost easily on a PX. Compared to this, the 10 horses of a Pinasco racing cylinder won’t take anyone’s breath away. But, please, don’t forget the original “performance” of Wideframes! Original 5HP would have a top speed of about 70km/h on a plain track.

With now 10HP on the 8 inch small rear wheel and a corresponding primary reduction, you may expect more than 100km/h. Just like for an original PX200 for instance.

We are looking forward to the potential of the Pinasco cylinder.
