Personal gift tips for scooter drivers from Scooter Center Team

How long have you been working in the Scooter Center:

Since 1996 (almost part of the inventory ;-))

What is your job in Scooter Center:

Product management

What do you have to do with scooters:

I have been driving scooters since 1987. It all started with a P200E, I just didn't have enough money for a car. 2 years later my first Lambretta was added, an LD125 (2nd series). In the course of time various vesps and lambrettas were added. Now there are only Lambrettas, my oldest is a Lambretta 125m (2nd series) from 1948, the youngest a Lambretta DL 200 from 1969.
The most important meetings for me are definitely the Eurolambretta 1991 in The Hague and various meetings in Venlo as well as the Scooter Dive Aachen 1991.

Why:

Two absolute standard works that should not be missing in any screwdriver household!

Book -Motorcycle Electronics in Practice - by Hans Hohmann

Article no. 7676940

 

motorcycle electrics book

Motorcycle electrics in practice

Without functioning electrics, even the most powerful motorcycle is just a collection of interesting machine parts. Few things make the motorcyclist so desperate as the activities of mysterious “copper worms” in the wiring harness of his two-wheeler: fuses constantly blow when the lights are blinking, the motorcycle is having breakfast for headlights, the ignition suddenly gives up ... No reason for short-circuiting - some basic knowledge and a consistently systematic one Proceedings certainly lead to the core of the problem. Hans Hohmann, motorcycle journalist and long-time director of technology courses, helps with wit and clear words:
- The motorcycle electrics are explained step by step and assembly by assembly.
- Functional principles, sources of error, and opportunities for improvement are presented.
- Tips and tricks and a “programmed troubleshooting” provide solid advice for tense situations.

“Motorcycle electrics in practice” - the tried and tested standard work! Suitable for all types!
