BGM CNC brake levers now also with ABE

General, News, Vespa

bgm brake levers with ABE? What is an ABE anyway?

ABE stands for the general operating permit, which must be available for attachments to the vehicle.
If the attachments do not have an ABE, the vehicle may not pass the TÜV.

Appropriate tests, which the components must pass, are required for approval.

bgm brake lever sets with ABE - Next Level!!

The story goes on…
Now our Vespa drivers can be completely relaxed on the road with our ergonomic brake lever sets.

Clutch cover bgm PRO Superstrong for Vespa Largeframe (PX & Co.) – CNC machined

News, Tutorials, Vespa, Vespa

Available now

You may have already found an Easter egg in one of our videos ;-) but now you can find it in our webshop

Here we go!

It is questionable how long the supply of spare parts from Piaggio will be secured for some components. Unfortunately, the quality of the clutch cover from the original manufacturer has also fluctuated in recent years.

The clutch covers from LML were sometimes a resilient alternative, but unfortunately there is LML no more. and various attempts by other companies can be smiled at as a well-intentioned interpretation. The manufacturers Ramp and Silking should definitely be avoided here. Apart from the basic material, these clutch covers have nothing in common with the original.

Based on this drive, we have dedicated ourselves to creating our own clutch cover.

Development

Specifications were that the cover, as always with many of our own developments, can be used with original parts and shows further improvements.

The clutch cover for Largeframe from BGM PRO Superstrong CNC therefore fits all couplings currently available on the market. Whether with 6 springs or 7 springs of the old design or the latest models with 4-disc CR pad material and enlarged CNC clutch basket.

One of the reasons was that the bar in the clutch cover had to be removed if the original cover for the CNC clutches had to be machined. Therefore, the BGM PRO SUPERSTORNG clutch cover has an adapted contour that allows the web again and thus supports the oil supply for the separator and the protected Ultralube principle of the bgm Superstrong clutches.

The inner contour was therefore determined and defined very quickly. A bigger challenge, however, was determining the position of the bleed screw.

The worldwide scooter riders network keeps hearing reports that the engines are pushing out oil through the vent screw. So we thought about whether there was a better position for the vent. Always under the condition that it fits on an original vehicle. The first attempt was to orientate the hole with the direction of rotation. A fatal misconception.

Although the slanted hole is in the opposite direction to the oil, significantly more oil is pumped out of the vent here.

After testing three alternative positions and designing the bore channels, we are almost back to the original position of the vent. However, the hole is located further out in the cover at a slightly different angle and therefore does not get as much of the flung oil. With this position it was possible to move a 221cc Malossi MHR engine with more than 9500rpm permanently with an oil filling quantity of 500ml without the oil being pushed out through the vent screw.

As a variant, there are also clutch covers for the older ones Largeframe models. Here the clutch cover is higher to create space for a PX clutch.

The old engine housings of the VNA to VGLB engines with their flat clutches are flatter in size than a Sprint or PX engine housing - the sealing surface for the clutch cover on the VNA to VGLB engines is therefore practically closer to the crankshaft. This residue is compensated by the BGM PRO SUPERSTRONG clutch cover and thus offers the advantage of using a normal PX clutch on these engines.

Due to the dimensional adjustment in the clutch cover, there is no risk of the rear tire rubbing against the clutch cover. Due to the flat motor housing, there is enough space for the tire wall.

The matching clutch arm for the BGM PRO clutch cover has a double O-ring seal and the option of hanging the clutch cable in a position for shortened lever travel.

The inner position on the clutch arm is intended for the use of adjustable clutch levers on the handlebars, as these levers pull less than, for example, the standard lever on a PX.

The coupling arm is already provided with all clearances that are required for the use of reinforced couplings.

When manufacturing the clutch cover, we initially opted for CNC production from solid material. This means that we always have control over the material used and access to the material certificate. The high-strength material used and the CNC production, we can guarantee very low tolerances and consistent quality.

If you are now curious, you have to be patient. The final acceptance of the samples has been confirmed and we expect the delivery date to be in 2022.

Complete with clutch arm, the clutch cover will be under €200.

We will provide you with more information at the start of sales in the blog and in the shop.

Ideas for the next tours or the (roller) bag original in the Lambretta endurance and practical test

General, Lambretta, News

In June 2022 we were able to introduce you to the (R)ollersack *original* in the blog and shop. Sabine from (R)roller bag *original* develops luggage that is specifically tailored to the needs of scooter riders.
In the late autumn of last year, very good and long-standing friends of ours made Sardinia unsafe with their Lambrettas. Harald and Markus didn't miss the opportunity to put the sack through its paces.

We have summarized the conclusions of the two test persons here:

Overall rating:

"Finally on the topic of roller sacks.... We both give it 9,5 out of 10 points! The DL driver is over 1,80 and got along very well.”

packing practice:

I had packed all my things in a thin travel bag. I just found that more practical because we changed accommodation every day and it was easier to pack and unpack

Robust and durable:

“The sack makes a very robust impression and despite some abuse, nothing broke. The long shoulder strap has proved its worth, for example when towing on the ferry.

Weather test results in weatherproof:

Because it rained very little, my colleague also did the water test.
There is nothing to complain about here either.

Most important – on the road:

“However, I am most impressed by the handling of the bag. Over 2.000 kilometers in Sardinia and most of them on really winding roads. Unlike with the pockets in the back, you just don't feel the weight.”

And that is exactly what is meant by luggage specifically tailored to the needs of scooter riders.

Here you can find the (R)ollersack original:

The black variant will be available again from the beginning of April.

Something with horns today!

Lambretta, News, SC workshop

6V and 12V buzzers and horns for the Li family of Lambrettas and their attachment

In view of the 14 years of construction of the Li family - starting with the TV 175 Series 1 in September 1957 and ending with the dl / GP 200 in April 1971 - the variation in horns and buzzers and their attachment to the Lambretta frame is not that confusing.

First of all, it should be mentioned that there is either buzzing (for AC systems with alternating voltage) or horns (for DC systems with direct current to be recognized by the battery). All Lambrettas were originally delivered with 6 V on-board electronics.

When converting to 12 V systems, the original buzzers and horns continue to work without any problems, even with the 12 volts that are now available. But humiliations should be avoided, otherwise they will quit the service sooner or later.

Series 1 and early Series 2 models to July 1960

On all Series 1 and Series 2 models through July 1960 the horn mount is welded directly to the frame and looks like this:

The right horn:

art. Number: CLE66D

Horn -GPM 12V DC
Lambretta LI 150 (Series 1), LI 150 (Series 2), TV 175 (Series 1), TV 175 (Series 2)

is screwed directly to the frame and decoupled from the frame with two rectangular anti-vibration rubbers.

Series 2 from 07/1960 and Series 3 up to the end of 1967

During the construction of the Series 2, the attachment of the horn was changed. The welded bracket with two bolts is replaced with a rectangular block with an M8 stud. A retaining plate, often called a Y-bracket, is attached to this. And the original looks like this:

This special retaining plate was not available as a repro for a long time, Timo from TD Customs took care of it and supplies us with it:
Bracket Horn -TD-Customs
Lambretta LI (Series 2), TV (Series 2) -> 07/1960

art. Number: 3333492

We already know the corresponding horn:
Horn -GPM 12V DC
Lambretta LI 150 (Series 1), LI 150 (Series 2), TV 175 (Series 1), TV 175 (Series 2)

art. Number: CLE66D

Since the mounting of the late Series 2 is known to be identical to the Series 3, the Series 3 retaining plate can also be used with the corresponding horn. The retaining plate in the series comes much closer to the name Y-Bracket:

Find here:

art. Number: 8030562

and using this part:

fastened to the frame with M8 nut and corrugated washer on the stud.

art. Number: 7672861

Horns (or buzzers) suitable for the holder are available in 6 V and 12 V:

Horn (buzzer) CASA LAMBRETTA 6V/12V AC
Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3)
Zinc

art. Number: 9500613

Horn -GPM 6V DC
Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3)

art. Number: 7671720

Horn -GPM 12V DC
Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3)

art. Number: 7671719

Series 3 from 1968 and dl / GP

At the end of 1967, i.e. in 1968, the attachment was simplified and the Y-bracket was replaced by a bracket welded to the frame.

In order to decouple the horn from vibrations, the holes in the retaining plate on the horn are enlarged and special Allen screws and vibration rubbers and washers are used.

Here the horn with the anti-vibration rubbers:

Found for alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical systems:

Horn -GPM 6V/12V DC
Lambretta LIS (1968-), SX (1968-), DL, GP

art. Number: CLE66A

Horn -GPM 6V/12V AC
Lambretta LIS (1968-), SX (1968-), DL, GP

art. Number: CLE66E

You can find the screws here:

art. Number: CL0837

And this is what it looks like installed on a preserved dl 200:

The background probably doesn't seem unfamiliar to the inclined Lambretta connoisseur.

Many thanks to Markus for the image rights.

And now something about big horns. Originally, the real horns (i.e. the DC things) had a larger diameter. Namely 85mm. Occasionally we also get those from Casa Lambretta:

LAMBRETTA TOOL FOR THE LI FAMILY

General, Lambretta, News

Tools not only please the heart of a screwdriver, with the right tool the work is also easier to do.

Contrary to the usual myth that you need tons of special tools for the Lambretta, only a few tools are really essential.

ESSENTIALS CATEGORY It doesn't work without them

Allen key bgm PRO 3.5mm

Unusual size and used for the clamping nipples on the gearshift and clutch. The bgm key comes with a practical ball head. This means that the rear shift cable can also be reached when the clutch cable is attached and without a special control block.

Rotor holder Casatronic (Ducati ignition)

LI, LIS, SX, TV, DL, GP
3332382D

Flywheel puller and suitable holders are the only way to remove the flywheel from the cone of the crankshaft. This is required for all work on the ignition system. But also if you want or need to penetrate deeper into the innards of the engine.

The flywheel holder 2+3 windows is intended for all original Innocenti and Indian flywheels with the corresponding recesses.

The bgm PRO pole wheel has an external hexagon on which the corresponding holder is attached. The holder is supported on the nut of the large silent blocks to hold it up.

There are two variants of the Casatronic ignition, one based on the IDM ignition and the current variant manufactured by Ducati Energia. The pole wheels are blocked with two or three pins on the pole wheel with the appropriate holder.

Clutch

Both of them are irreplaceable. The compressor is used to relieve the circlip on the Lambretta clutch. After removing the ring, the coupling can be removed.
The clutch nut is tightened with 66 - 74 Nm. For both loosening and tightening the nut, the clutch basket should be blocked with the appropriate tool/holder.

MBD

LI, LIS, SX, TV, DL, GP
3333402

In the mid-1960s the design of the brake drum was changed. At this point, the Series 2 will have three M7 threads instead of the two M6 threads previously used. This goes hand in hand with the use of the retaining ring for the cap nut on the main shaft/brake drum. Our pullers come with both M6 and M7 screws to hold the puller in place. If it is attached to the brake drum, the brake drum is pressed by the main shaft via the large central screw.

The OEM quality of the puller works, but is not the best in terms of haptics.

Casa Lambretta offers the tool in a beautiful workshop quality and it corresponds to the original Innocenti tool.

MBD has optimized the original design and features knurling on the outer edge and a ball in the tip of the central screw. This fits into the recess on the mainshaft and is intended to prevent any damage.

Headset mounting wrench MBD

LI, LIS, SX, TV, DL, GP, J, Lui

The MBD key for the headset bearing is perfectly adapted to the Lambretta. The holder for countering is separated according to the conditions of the Lambretta.

The compressor for the springs in the fork is used to overhaul the fork. Neither the fork links nor the springs and their spring guide rods can be removed from the fork without compressing the springs.

Both the Casa Lambretta and the MB compressor are based on the original design of the tool. This is sometimes a bit difficult to handle and a third or even fourth helping hand is usually not bad.

The OEM design, on the other hand, is screwed to the fork and handling is very easy and time-efficient. So here: clear purchase recommendation for OEMs.

Silent block assembly tool bgm PRO

LI, LIS, SX, TV, DL, GP

The silent blocks can only be changed with the appropriate tool and with a sufficiently heated engine housing. The bgm tool for this is a solid turned construction.

It is best to pull the crankshaft into the bearing on the drive side. The original drive sleeve with the screw for the front sprocket can be used for this.

The pull-in sleeve is a length-optimized version of the original drive sleeve and offers comfort and speed when screwing. In both versions, the crankshaft must be fixed (e.g. with a connecting rod locking tool.

The Casa Performance version is a rather ingenious further development, in which the crankshaft does not have to be blocked and the shaft is drawn particularly gently into the bearing seat.

The MB tool is still the first choice for dismantling the crankshaft. It is screwed onto the motor housing and then the shaft can simply be pushed out of the bearing seat

The MB Tools are still the first choice for crankshaft disassembly. It is screwed onto the motor housing and then the crank can simply be pushed out of the bearing seat.

Crankshaft drive sleeve puller

Exact copy of the original Innocenti tool. This allows tightly seated drive sleeves to be gently pushed off the crankshaft. The drive sleeve has two holes on the outer end for using the tool. The sleeve and tool are connected to each other with the two knurled screws on the side and then the sleeve is pressed off the crankshaft stump using the toggle.

Main shaft assembly tool

Before installing the gear backlash, it is important that the countershaft is fully torqued into the rear hub bearing. This can be done with the rear brake hub fixed. An alternative to this is Mark Broadhurst's final drive sleeve tool. Once the layshaft is in place, insert the sleeve by locking the socket head cap screw into the layshaft grooves, fitting the special nut provided, holding the sleeve with a wrench and tightening the nut until the layshaft is pulled into place with the correct torque is.

Determination of top dead center and ignition timing

The dial gauges and brackets, which are mounted in place of the cylinder head, are precision measuring tools for determining top dead center and ignition timing. A good choice if you already have an engine on the workbench or engine stand. If you need to do ignition timing with the engine installed, it may be easier to use the buzzwangle, beluga, or similar methods.

BUZZWANGLE from Sticky

The buzzwangle tool is a brilliant idea from the sticky. A digital degree disc can be clamped onto the threads for the flywheel puller using an adapter with four mounts. Thus, the digital angle dial gauge is immovably attached and both the ignition point and the control times can be determined and adjusted to an accuracy of 0,1°.

Fits all Lambretta Innocenti models and their derivatives. Just like on most Vespa and Piaggio models.

Spark plug wrench bgm PRO SW21mm/13mm

LI, LIS, SX, TV, DL, GP, Lui, Junior

The Li family's spark plug accessibility isn't the best. The original spark plug wrench fits, of course, but has the disadvantage that removing a hot spark plug can result in burnt fingers. With the bgm part, the candle can easily be completely unscrewed by hand after loosening. And not only that, an integrated magnet holds the candle securely in the key. There are guaranteed no burnt fingers here.

Stud mounting tool

Clever tool from BGM for installing stud bolts without damaging them.
Screw the BGM Pro tool onto the stud bolt and counter with the integrated hexagon socket screw. It is braced with the thread of the stud bolt. Now turn the outer wrench flat. The stud bolt is fixed and is loosened or screwed in. Make sure that the counter-locking is sufficiently strong so that the tool does not come loose.

Ideal for short bolts (such as Lambretta gearbox covers).
The required minimum length of grippable stud thread is:

M6 / /M7 = 6,5mm
M8 = 9mm

Available individually or as a set.
Also available for the rare thread size M7!

Required additional tool:

Combination wrench: SW19
Allen key: 6mm

NOTE: Please note that stud bolts glued in with screw adhesive/Loctite often have a very high breakaway torque. Here you should first try to heat the stud(s) or the housing around it in order to loosen the adhesive connection.

Lambretta tool bag retaining clip

The Innocenti icing on the cake of a beautiful restoration is the original on-board tool kit in the right bag with Lambretta Innocenti ribbons and then fixed with the correct retaining clip.

A nice reading recommendation on the subject of tools is the reprint of the Innocenti tool catalogue.

Oil measuring cup

Another nice addition to any Lambretta tool box is the Innocenti oil can from Casa Lambretta. This is an exact copy of Innocenti's American market device. It comes complete with a snug fitting cap. It has the 'Lambretta' and 'Innocent' logos embossed on the sides.

High quality crankshaft for the Motovespa GT160 engines

News

Motovespa GT 160

The Spanish licensee Motovespa SA based in Madrid has developed the Motovespa 160 (09C).

Definitely an odd specimen - electronic ignition similar to the Serveta Lambrettas but still with piston connections. The body is basically a sprint/rally, but the engine is an odd mix of old and new technology.

The Motovespa 160 is often confused with the Super Sport 180, but at second glance you can see the many differences.

Finally, the Vespa 160 GT was a version with a series of side panels and accessories that made it even more attractive.

Exploded views here

BGM Pro crankshaft

The BGM Pro crankshaft for the GT160 is available in different versions.

In general, the original Femsatronic ignition of the GT160 fits all versions. On the drive side there are variants for the original GT160 clutch or the variant to use the PX clutch type.

All PX 6 and 7 spring clutches as well as all Cosa and bgm Superstrong clutches can be used here.

The thrust washer is also used on crankshafts with type PX coupling stub BGM6033 and the woodruff key 9999002 thats it!

We offer both variants with the standard stroke of 57mm and as a long-stroke version with a stroke of 60mm.

For the crankshafts with 60mm stroke, the engine case has to be modified to create space for the lower connecting rod eye.

Since only a small amount of material has to be removed here with a radius of 0.8 to 1mm, this task can easily be completed in a few minutes with a hand milling cutter.

With the 60mm stroke variant, the control angle of the cylinder changes.

Typical for the GT160 cylinder are the relatively large control angles for the transfer ports in connection with the very short control angle of the exhaust port.

With the original 57mm stroke, the cylinder has the following control angles:

Piston recess 0.5mm

Inlet angle: 131°

Outlet angle: 144 °

Transfer angle: 119°

Forward outlet: 12,5°

If the same cylinder with 60mm stroke is used, the following control angles result:

Piston protrusion: 1mm

Inlet angle: 132°

Outlet angle: 148 °

Transfer angle: 124°

Forward outlet: 12°

Fuel tap bgm PRO Faster Flow

News

This is the best flowing Vespa fuel tap bgm Faster Flow and is our recommendation for every Vespa engine.

Item no. BGM3030N is a straight replacement for the standard fuel tap with exactly the same fuel tap lever positions like the original tap: ON / OFF / RESERVE.

Item no. BGM3031N is an ON / OFF fuel tap featuring a reserve warning light instead of three fuel tap lever positions. A nice feature that can be easily installed. The wire coming from the fuel tap is led to a warning light (e.g. LED bulb) and connected to the bulb. The second connection on the bulb is fed to a 6V or 12V current wire. Very easy! As soon as the fuel level gets below the reserve amount the warning light starts to glow.

Massive flow rate of more than 900ml per minute.
Essential part of all gear shifted Vespa scooters from standard to heavily tuned.
Fits almost every gear shifted Vespa build since 1958.

Horn cover VIGANO NOS (New old stock)

News

Rare Vespa chrome accessories original from the 60's

Individualizing your Vespa and giving it a personal touch is a seemingly everlasting zeitgeist that surrounds every Vespa like an aura. Italian companies began developing special accessories early on and marketing them very successfully.
A particularly popular, but also expensive, special accessory was the chromed aluminum horn cover. The look of Vespa VBB and Co., which was already looking a bit old-fashioned in the late sixties, could be given a much more modern look with the help of these add-on parts. The world was in a spirit of optimism, the first flight to the moon, rocket technology, nothing seemed out of reach. Style icons like the Chevrolet Impalla inspired many designers and playful chrome tail fins were more than en vogue.

Vigano picked up on this trend and offered a particularly nice piece of individuality for retrofitting with the horn cascade shown here. Formally replicating a mini-format radiator grille, the horn could be concealed, similar to the contemporary Lambretta models. Translucent plastic may not be anything out of the ordinary today, but on the Vigano Kasakde it resulted in the desired very modern, almost futuristic style, which fully met the taste of the time aka 'Thunderbirds are Go'.

We were able to get hold of the cascades in small numbers from a warehouse clearance. These are well-preserved, new/unused horn covers that show signs of ageing/storage. The chrome has some scratches or is slightly tarnished. We offer the cascades in an A and B grade.
The A-ware is in good condition but also has minor flaws
The B-stock has some traces of oxidation or heavier scratches:

Scope of delivery and fastening

The cascade is delivered with a retaining plate and colored rubber profile.
The retaining plate is screwed to the original attachment points of the horn.
The plastic parts are also screwed to the cascade and can therefore be removed for cleaning.

These goods are sold by us as so-called NOS (New old stock = new item that has been stored for a long time) marked. While stocks last.

Choke lever bgm for Vespa Smallframe

Gift Idea, News, SC workshop, Smallframe

Once in yours Smallframe the original SHB has to give way to another carburettor, the question arises shortly before the engine is started for the first time: how do I operate the choke?

How do I convert the carburetor from a folding choke to a cable choke?

How do I connect the cable choke of a Dellorto PHBH, VHST, Mikuni, Keihin PWK or Polini CP carburetor to the choke lever of the Smallframe at?

Many carburetors are usually delivered with a so-called folding or pull choke. So that the carburetor can be operated with a cable pull, as is typical for Vespa, we offer the right adapter set for conversion for many carburetor types.

2599091 Dellorto PHBL, PHBH VHST (Shop)

2599098 Mikuni, Keihin, and Polini CP (Shop)

The bgm Pro choke lever is suitable for all carburetor types that are equipped or retrofitted with a cable choke.
Due to the special design of the bgm Pro choke lever, the choke cable can be easily detached in order to remove the carburetor. This saves time and protects your hands in the cramped carburetor room Smallframe. By using a clamping nipple, the choke cable is not kinked every time the choke lever is actuated and is therefore permanently durable and secure against tearing off. Due to the adapted contour of the lever, it can no longer jump out of the choke button guide.

The assembly of the bgm Pro choke lever is easy.

A YSN30 / Dellorto PHBH (YSN8570) carburetor serves as a model example and for the conversion to a cable choke (Blog) with the matching cable adapter set (2599091 – (Shop).

The universal cable BGM6445 is used as the choke cable. This already has the right length for the outer shell in a Vespa Smallframe to find space.

Loosen the nut of the small inner choke lever with SW10 and make sure that the screw does not fall out towards the carburettor chamber. When removing the original choke lever, pay attention to the domed washer (3330468W) which lies between the choke lever and the bracket on the frame. This will also be needed again later.

Guide the screw through the retaining plate from below and then attach the spring washer and the choke lever.

The nut has a so-called clamping part to secure against self-loosening. This clamping part can be recognized by the imprints on the wrench flats of the nut. Depending on the design of the nut, this clamping part is on a front side or on the wrench flats.

When putting on the nut, make sure that the clamping part of the nut faces upwards so that the non-clamping part is screwed onto the choke bolt first.

First tighten the nut until the choke lever can still be moved easily.

The inner cable is first fed through the adjusting screw and the adapter, barrel first, and then pushed through the spring. The barrel of the train is hung in the choke piston.

When inserting the choke piston into the carburetor, make sure that the barrel does not jump out of the choke piston mount. The adapter is then screwed to the carburetor.

The clamp nipple is now placed on the loose end of the choke cable and fastened at a distance of 20mm from the shoulder of the end cap.

First thread the inner cable into the slotted guide of the choke lever and then hook the clamping nipple into the choke lever. Use the end cap to pull the outer shell back far enough (the choke in the carburetor is actuated in the process) so that the end cap can be hung in the retaining plate.

If the play in the choke cable is too large, this can be easily adjusted using the adjusting screw on the adapter on the carburettor. A safety clearance of approx. 1.5mm between the shoulder of the end cap and the abutment of the retaining plate on the frame should be maintained so that the cable is not tensioned during compression and the movements of the engine while driving and the choke is not activated.

If the necessary safety play of the cable cannot be achieved via the adapter, the adapter on the carburetor is turned back and the cable adjusted by tightening the clamping nipple.

Finally tighten the nut of the choke lever so that the lever can still be operated easily but the spring force of the spring for the choke piston cannot pull it back again.

HT Parts Maxiscooters

General, Automatic 2-stroke, Automatic 4-stroke, News

I am Heiko Froese, owner of HT Motors (HTPARTS.EU), born 1980 in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. My passion for mopeds and motorbikes was there when I was still in diapers but took serious shape from the age of 14. My first moped was a Puch Maxi, which I liked to drive, but I soon tweaked more than driving it. It wasn't so much because it was always broken, but because I just wanted to get more performance out of it.

The mopeds, scooters and manual mopeds that followed never drove the specified factory speed 😊. From the age of 16 I worked in my parents' garage or in a client's backyard. My customer base grew through word of mouth from friends and acquaintances in Dordrecht and the surrounding area, advertising on the Internet led to a customer base throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.

At the age of 21 I took part in the 150m scooter sprint for the first time and immediately got a 5th place. I wanted to have my engine and cylinder tuned and I went to Freddy Koopmans with my story of being the fastest in the Netherlands. He then immediately said that this was not feasible.

I left my stuff and over the next few days I kept thinking that according to Freddy it wasn't feasible. But I wanted it so much that I picked up my stuff and started “tuning” myself. And so it started on the coffee table in my 40m2 apartment with the well-known Dremel.

Of course, not everything happened by itself, but in the following years I developed more and more knowledge and skills, which I and later my driver and good friend Henk van den Heuvel (Henk from the Hill DSSC) used to achieve many titles and records with the scooter sprint won.

HT - Parts Maxiscooters

In the years that followed, the company grew with customers all over the world. In 2018, HT Engineering started shifting from tuning, overhaul and maintenance to the development and production of maxiscooter, moped and classic car parts. The focus is mainly on the production of Plug and play quality products for the road, all made in the Netherlands.

Now, 4 years later, we find that most of our orders come from abroad and no longer from the Netherlands where we are based. Mainly customers from Europe, mainly from Germany, Italy, UK, Austria and Spain, but also from New Zealand, United States, Mexico, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten etc.

We manufacture CNC turned and milled parts in series for customers and colleagues at home and abroad, although we want to focus more and more on business-to-business sales from 2023.

In addition to some other international providers, this also has Scooter Center our products in theirs Webshop recorded.

I would like to thank you for this Scooter Center and especially to Michael, Daniel, Alex, Uwe and Frank!

Sincerely yours,
Heiko
