Mofafest 2022 - moped in all its glory

My adventures are not only related to the Vespas, but this time to their little sister: the mopeds.
In an impromptu plan, I accompanied some members of the technical team from Scooter Center: Marc, Frank and Roland test their Ciaos on the Moped festival 2022 by Iron Mofa.
Platonika would stay parked because I had to drive in a real vehicle! And I couldn't get a better backseat than the Flatliners boys tandem!
Not knowing what to expect, I set up cameras and we embarked on an adventure that turned out to be a lot more fun than I imagined.

It was fun to see so many bad boys in these little vehicles, but above all, as always, to meet wonderful people full of good humor.

Hello tandem:

The reason for the construction of this tandem is special, as are the components that make it possible Scooter Center managed to create this rarity!

The tandem is driven by a Polini speed engine with one DR Evo cylinder farms.
As a further tuning measures were a 13/13 carburetor with one SIL Tech Venturi and a Malossi air filter installed.
The exhaust gases are through a Gianeli Ori Power derived.
The landing gear was through the Shock absorber holder from MMW and the bgm ProF16 shock absorbers upgraded.
Due to the increased load on the axles, the normal front axle bearing was replaced by a MC Proparts Front axle kit replaces + socket set

But it wouldn't be the only distinctive feature I would see at this meeting:
The motor of this Ciao comes from a cut-off grinder for railroad tracks.

MCCAP fuel cap for your CIAO from MC PROPARTS

Have you ever had that too? You're on the go with your moped, have to refuel and don't have any oil with you!
Now do you have to buy expensive or sub-optimal oil at the gas station if there is still 2-stroke oil in the tank? And where do you put the big oil can?
This problem is now a thing of the past!

Discover new fuel caps with oil reservoirs for CIAO & Co.

Piaggio Ciao mono drive or vario drive?

moped

Differences between Piaggio Ciao / Bravo / Si / Boxer mono drive and vario drive

Caution ! First things first - the components of the mono drive and those of the variator drive are among each other not compatible or mixable! The crankshaft, in turn, is the same for both types of drive.

The easiest way to recognize this ratio from the outside is by looking at the side covers on the left in the direction of travel.
Has the side cover at the back too a bulge is a variator model.

1. Variator drive
2. Mono drive

Converter / variator

With the variator model, the converter unit with the integrated clutch is located at the rear. The variator sits in front. The advantage of the variator drive is that it provides you with a stepless automatic. Shortly geared when starting, long geared to speed. The principle is still used in every automatic scooter today.

3. Combined converter / clutch unit
4. Variator

Mono drive

Classically, the German mopeds have the mono drive with 25 km / h, but there are also moped versions with the mono drive, without a variator.

5. pulley
6. Coupling

Clutch bell, pulley and V-belt

The front sits Kupplungsglocke, inside it runs fan belt on a moped on a groove with a diameter of 26mm inside. (6)

The rear pulley is mounted directly on the mono gearbox. The mono gear can be recognized by the fact that the gear shaft only protrudes approx. 13mm from the gear and only the flat belt pulley is installed (5). This has a diameter of 25mm for the 90km / h moped. The standard transmission of the Ciao has a gear ratio of 10,5: 1, that of the Bravo of 8,5: 1

( see also Piaggio Ciao moped tuning )

7. Variator transmission
8. Single gear for pulley

Sensible upgrades or tuning of the translation

Single gear:

The simplest tuning to increase the top speed is extending the translation.

We have exactly three options with the mono gearbox:

Exchange of the front clutch, moped clutch out and 30km / h clutch in.
The standard coupling has an inner diameter of 26mm, the 30km / h coupling of 41mm.
Replacement of the rear pulley. The original pulley of the Ciao has a diameter of 90mm.
But only the pulleys with 70mm or 80mm are really mobile because the tightening is still acceptable when driving off.
Exchange of the transmission. To determine the gear ratio, take a look at: https://blog.scooter-center.com/piaggio-mofa-tuning-und-setup/

INFO: The standard moped transmission of the Ciao has a ratio of 10.5:1By installing the Bravo 8.5: 1 gearbox, the overall ratio is increased by approx. 20%.

TIPP: Very inconspicuous as the clutch and pulley can remain original.

Piaggio moped - tuning and setup

moped, News

Piaggio moped tuning information

The subject of Ciao and Piaggio Mofa tuning is very important to us. For many of us, the Ciao was the first motorized means of transport we used as teenagers to explore “the big wide world”.

Back then, the "chrome potty" was a good thing, a hole was drilled in the air filter and the 32 km / h was scratched on the speedometer (of course only after the hole in the air filter had been closed again with a cigarette filter ;-). Then the "small" disc came along and Zack, you had to pedal uphill ... but downhill ... it was off :-) Back then ...

ciao-moped-tuning-shop-tips-5

Long belong Ciao, Bravo and Si to collectibles, but tuning is still popular today!

Even today, everything is still feasible from + 5 km / h to + 100 km / h - to give you a decision-making aid when tuning, we have put together 3 simple setups, peppered with a few technical tips.

Ciao, Bravo and Si Mofa tuning setups:

1. Go to the bakery on Sundays, up to 40 km / h.

Very simple plug-in tuning, quiet and inconspicuous, because it is basically the moped components. At some TÜV bodies, after prior agreement, can be registered.

The original 50cc cylinder is retained and a SitePlus , and a SH12 / 12 carburettor with moped air filter mounted, main jet around the 48th belt pulley remains original 90mm.

Exhaust

SP0219 exhaust Sito Plus 47,95 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/sp0219

The Sito Plus has the look of the original exhaust and is particularly quiet, and it also brings the required E-marking with which is necessary for carrying on a moped.

Chrome potty

For fans of the 70s and 80s there is still the original "chrome pot" with the separable muffler and screw in the middle - disadvantage, no labeling, but pure retro feeling. Available in chrome and black:

Carburetor:

Moped carburetor 12/12 DellOrto 49,90 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/de/product/1510032

The moped carburetor with a passage of 12 mm replaces the original carburetor with a passage of 10 mm.

Air Filter

Moped air filter 6 holes 8,90 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/R100602970

The moped air filter cannot be distinguished from the moped air filter on the outside, but inside there are 6 holes under the steel mesh filter instead of 3 holes.

spark plug

A new spark plug doesn't do any harm, you should always have one more than too few at home, for the above tuning you need an NGK B 6HS with short thread.

NGK spark plug short thread B 6HS 3,88 euros | Shop

The spark plug is also available in the suppressed version, if your radio crackles as soon as you start the Ciao, recognizable by the addition "R" in the product name:

NGK spark plug spark plug BR 6HS interference-suppressed 4,50 euros |Shop

Nozzles Ciao

Main jet 5mm size 48 2,78 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/2505048

If you intend to experiment a little more in the future, a nozzle set is worthwhile. This contains 10 different sizes and is cheaper than buying it individually. The set that comes into question here includes 10 nozzles in the size between 50 and 72:

Main nozzle set BGM 5mm, 50 - 72, for DellOrto carburettors 15,90 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/2599114

TECHNOLOGY TIP!

Which Ciao cylinder / piston pin do I need?

Now it gets technical: So that you can find the right cylinder: When you have selected a cylinder, you will quickly come across the words "piston pin 10mm" and "piston pin 12mm". If you do NOT want to change the crankshaft, you must now, before ordering the cylinder, measure the piston pin of your installed cylinder (10 or 12mm) and then decide on the corresponding cylinder with 10 or 12 piston pin:

Piston pin 12mm- ORIGINAL installed in all crankshafts with bronze bush in the upper connecting rod eye.
Piston pin 10mm- ORIGINAL installed in all crankshafts with connecting rod bearing in the upper connecting rod eye.

More about crankshafts, 10 and 12mm piston pins can be found in Chapter 3.

Go to top

2. Cool at the ice cream parlor, from 50 km / h

So that things go faster and more powerfully, the heart of your classic is now being exchanged - the Cylinder ! Look for a cylinder of the 60 - 63ccm class with a bore of 41 - 43mm, the DR cylinder in cast or the Athena cylinder in aluminum offer an entry point.

Even if the manufacturer speaks full-bodied of 60ccm and more - when we turn on the calculator, the following ccm numbers result with a standard stroke of 43mm:

Standard stroke of the crankshaft 43mm

Calculate cylinder volume, seventh school year: diameter divided by 2 = radius "r", "h" the height (stroke) of the crankshaft original = 43mm, results in the following formula: circular area on the floor multiplied by the height: r2 x pi xh = volume of the Cylinder.

Smart ass mode off, this one ccm numbers of the common tuning cylinders:

Standard cylinder diameter 38,2mm = 49,28 cc
Diameter tuning cylinder 40mm = 54,04 cc
Diameter tuning cylinder 41mm = 56,77 cc
Diameter tuning cylinder 42mm = 59,57 cc
Diameter tuning cylinder 43mm = 62,44 cc

With a 43mm bore, the standard case is finished because otherwise the case would have to be spindled - more on that later. Now back to the ice cream parlor:

Tuning setup Ciao 60ccm

After you know which piston pin you have installed, you look for a cylinder from the following manufacturers

DR
Athena
Polini
Malossi

All of the cylinders listed below are absolutely stable and bring one noticeable extra power, more torque and speed.

Racing cylinder 10mm piston pin:

Cylinder DR 60 cc Evolution Ø41mm Piaggio Ciao (piston pin = Ø10mm) 89,00 Euro | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/192KT00067

Tuning translation V-belt & pulley Ciao

Due to the increased power of the cylinder, we can now also adjust the translation, ie one smaller pulley and the matching V-belt assemble. We recommend the following setup in combination with a cylinder of the 60ccm + class:

Pulley MALOSSI Ø = 80mm Piaggio Ciao, SI, Bravo, PX 11,75 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/M617280B
V-belt MALOSSI X Special Belt CIAO for Ø 80mm pulley (940x8mm 36 °) 17,05 euros https://www.scooter-center.com/product/M617226

The complete sets from CIF are cheaper, but the pulleys are not quite as dimensionally accurate as those from Malossi, which can lead to a slight "wobble" of the pulley when driving:

Belt pulley CIF Ø = 80mm V-belt, Vespa Ciao, Ciao PX 18,94 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/CIF5361

Moped carburetor setup 12/12 or 13/13 Ciao tuning

In addition, the DellOrto Moped carburetor with 12 / 12mm or the DellOrto 13 / 13mm carburetor,

Main jet approx. 53-55, plus the moped or Polini air filter. All these components are plug & play and interchangeable and fit without problems on the original engine housing and in the original engine compartment:

Racing exhaust Ciao Tuning

Since we are still inconspicuous when tuning, we recommend the exhaust as again SitePlus or as an alternative the Gianelli "Ori-Power".

Exhaust -GIANNELLI Original Power- Piaggio Ciao, PX, SI, Bravo 41,70 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/gi300420
Sito Plus exhaust 47,95 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/sp0219

Clutch springs Ciao

For better acceleration through a higher clutch speed, reinforced clutch springs are now used for the original clutch, here we recommend the black springs from the Malossi set of 3 or the blue springs from the set of 3 Polini:

Clutch springs set of 3, MALOSSI Piaggio Ciao, Boss, SI, Grillo, Bravo, PX | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/m297306
Clutch springs set of 3, Polini Piaggio Ciao, Boss, SI, Grillo, Bravo, PX 13,55 euros | https://www.scooter-center.com/product/P245020

Racing clutch pads

Anyone who has the feeling that the clutch linings are no longer 100% in order can mount the Malossi clutch shoes with reinforced linings, these are also supplied with a set of reinforced springs. The clutch shoes fit plug & play in the original clutch:

Spark plug Ciao 60cc cylinder

With this setup you have to drive a “colder” spark plug, e.g. an NGK B8HS or BR8HS:

... and why not a new one right away NGK spark plug connector to ?

TECHNOLOGY TIP!

Ciao Tuning Translation, gears, background knowledge.

Our recommended ratio for setup 2 with the 80 mm disc is based on the original "10,5: 1" gearbox of the German Ciao 25km / h mopeds. Even back then, the Bravo 8,5: 1 gearbox was often used to extend the gear ratio; this gearbox could then be used inconspicuously with the original Ciao 90s disc.

So - how do I know which gearbox I have installed on a Ciao?

The ratio of the number of revolutions of the rear pulley to the full 360 degrees of rotation of the rear wheel gives the gear ratio. E.g. Ciao Mofa original gearbox 10,5: 1.

Mark the rear wheel and the pulley with a line to measure, turn the rear wheel once completely through 360 degrees and count the number of revolutions of the pulley - done.

Standard mono (pulley) gears are for example:

10,5: 1 original gearbox Ciao Moped
8,5: 1 original gearbox Bravo moped
7,5: 1 original gearbox Ciao moped 40 km / h Holland
6,5: 1 original gearbox Ciao moped 45 km / h Italy

Mono gearboxes are designed to accommodate pulleys, Vario transmissions have a long output shaft and can accommodate the combined converter / clutch unit. Vario transmissions then have the variator on the crankshaft instead of a clutch.
