Ignition VAPE Touring for all Vespa and Lambretta scooters

Ignition Vape Now New In Scooter Center!

Since 1991, the VAPE company has developed into what is probably the leading supplier of electronic ignition systems for all types of motorcycles and scooters.

Initially, vape was developing electronic components in general, and automotive electrical equipment was just a part of that. But very soon one specialized in the development and production of ignition systems, generators, voltage regulators and control systems for motorcycles.

Today there are ignitions for all well-known two-wheeler manufacturers. Starting with A for Ancillotti and Aprilia (RX125 / AF1), it pretty much goes straight through the alphabet: Bultaco, Husqvarna, KTM, MV Agusta through to Yamaha and Zundapp are a few examples.

As an original equipment manufacturer, Vape supplied Jawa, Simson, MZ and Motoco.

In the scooter sector, there are ignitions for the Lohner scooter and the Eastern classic Simson Schwalbe in addition to the Vespa and Lambretta ignitions. Also the legendary ignitions power plant (2013) and overrev (2017) are based on Czech components.

With each of our visits to the BS EN ISO 9001:2008 certified manufacturer, we were able to convince ourselves of the absolute quality fetish. Nothing is left to chance and the depth of production in the company is impressive.

The company philosophy includes not only the complete development in-house, but also carrying out as many production steps as possible in-house in order to be able to guarantee perfect ignition and constant quality.

In addition to modern CNC machines for metalworking, punching for plastic parts and laser marking, metalworking is also done in-house using CNC sawing machines and milling machines. The machine park is rounded off by machine cutting, casting, sheet metal stamping, coil winding, assembly of printed circuits with SMD components, mechanical assembly, further assembly of electronic devices and generators. 

We look forward to seeing you from now on Vespa and Lambretta ignitions from Vape in the scooter.

Lambretta 100mph Bonneville World of Speed ​​Record

Bonneville - fastest Lambretta with bgm PRO SPORT 180km / h tires on the hunt for records

, , , , ,

Chasing records with the Lambretta on the salt slope

Our customer Todd Rogers from the USA set out with his 225 Lambretta to hunt for records in Bonneville.

Do you still remember the film "with heart and soul" with Anthony Hopkins? Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins) travels to Bonneville with his Indian Scout to take part in the annual high-speed race on the Utah Salt Flats. One of my favorite films, below you can find a teaser for the film.

 

Todd Rogers Lambretta Club USA

So our customer Todd Rogers has set off for Utah with his Lambretta World of Speed made. Here in Bonneville he wants to set a record with his Lambretta on the salt slope.

Todd Rogers from the Lambretta Club USA with his Lambretta

 

The right tires

During the preparations for the record attempt, there were problems with the tires. Todd has so far ridden tires with a “P approval” on his Lambretta.
But P corresponds to only 93 mph or 150 km / h and with these tires he would not have received approval for an official record attempt at over 100 mph.

Choosing the perfect tire was then relatively easy, after all, ours are ours bgm PRO SPORT tires, the only 10 x 3.50 tires with a Approval of 180km / h or 112 mph! In addition, Todd did not want to expose himself to any risk and so relied on the bgm PRO  Quality tires MADE IN GERMANY.

You can get bgm PRO tires here in the shop

The 100mph record in Bonneville with the Lambretta

Todd drove his 225 Lambretta (not a Streamliner !!), a very impressive 100,4203 mph, which corresponds to about 162 km / h. Todd holds the record for the fastest Lambretta in Bonneville!

Congratulations from all Scooter Center & bgm - team!

Scootering magazine about our bgm CLASSIC tires (Michelin ACS)

, , , , , ,

"BGM BRINGS A CLASSIC BACK TO THE MARKET"

Even that Scootering magazine are our new ones bgm tires not escaped. In the current issue you can find a nice report on our classic tires, here they are compared with the legendary MICHELIN ACS, and justifiably so.

bgm Classic tires Michelin ACS

 

“BGM BRINGS A CLASSIC BACK TO THE MARKET

bgm has launched a new tire that is a look back at the old days of scooter riding, but with modern technology. Simply referred to as Classic, the tread pattern is similar to that of the Michelin ACS. For those who can't remember: the ACS was one of the best tread patterns ever designed for the scooter and offers good handling characteristics not only on dry, but also on wet roads. For years it was standard equipment on both the Vespa and the Lambretta. Even today, original copies of the ACS can fetch huge sums of money as owners want that retro look.

Michelin destroyed the molds as early as the late 1980s and so it was banned in the history books. Fortunately, BGM brought them back to life with the company's new design. The Classic has a speed of up to 150kmh / 93mph which is very impressive. This is due to a reinforced carcass that not only improves stability at high speed but also when cornering. Cornering is even more supported by the V-shape of the pro? Le compared to the U-shape, which enables more surface contact as the lean angle is increased. Using a revised blend, they're super grippy in all conditions. That means not only that owners of standard machines who want the classic tire look can use the bene? T, but also those with tuned engines. The Classic is made in Germany and is available in the traditional size 3.50-10. These tires are now sold in the UK and many dealers already have them in stock.

BGM RELAUNCHES A CLASSIC

bgm has launched a new tire which is a throwback to the old days of scootering but using modern technology. Simply labeled the Classic, the tread pattern is similar to that of the Michelin ACS. For those that can't remember, the ACS was one of the best tread patterns ever designed for the scooter, not only giving good road-handling properties in the dry but also in wet conditions. For years it was standard issue equipment for both the Vespa and Lambretta. Even today, original examples of the ACS can fetch huge sums as owners want that retro look. Michelin destroyed the molds back in the late 1980s and so it was consigned to the history books. Thankfully BGM has brought it back to life with the company's new design. The Classic is speed-rated up to 150kmh / 93mph, which is very impressive. This is down to a strengthened carcass which not only improves stability at high speed but also when cornering. Cornering is aided even further by the V shape of the pro? Le compared with the U shape, which allows more surface contact as the lean angle is increased. Using a revised compound, they are super grippy in any conditions. Not only does this mean that owners with standard machines who want that classic tire look will bene? T but also those with tuned engines can use them as well. The Classic is made in Germany and available in the traditional 3.50-10 size. These tires are now being distributed in the UK with many dealers already stocking them. For more info: www.scooter-center.com

Stable carcass and complex production

The extremely stable carcass ensures great straight-line stability and excellent line accuracy when cornering quickly. Usually, scooter tires are simply pressed into shape from a layer of rubber. The bgm tires are much more complex to produce and consist of several layers. The result is a perfect scooter tire with the highest speed rating on the market!

The bgm Classic profile pays homage to the profile type that is used in many models of Vespa and Lambretta was chosen as an OEM tire. It thus perfectly combines a timeless classic profile with the tire technology of the 21st century.
