7 On the Road - Vespa bgm Platónika project by Scooter Center
As we would say in Colombia: “I'm in my salsa * " (it means that I am fully in my element). I received Platónika with 18 km and exactly 15 days later, she had a thousand km more.
Completely excited because spring is already there colors I started to drive. And even put together a Motonostra accessory set for touring:
But with this German weather you never know! And sure enough, a week later it starts snowing ... that shouldn't stop me, so I'll protect myself from the harsh cold and keep going.
Pictures and videos come and go, but I still think I'm missing something. The reason I fell in love with this scene: Indeed, their Vespisti.
No meetings in sight, "then I'll go with my colleagues" I thought, but who could go with me? in the marketing office where i'm sitting i only have the two of them Lambretistas found…
And now ... why not?
Did you miss any details of Platónika's story? You can find the full story here.

I'm so excited I can't wait when the end result is a “small” step away ... a bureaucratic step.
Although I have had a Colombian driver's license for more than 10 years, a theoretical and practical test is required in Germany, so: As soon as the project started, I started learning all 800 questions. After I passed it, I also took the practical test. And the Platónika got its approval from the TüV. Both she and I did an excellent job of the paperwork.
The Platónika have registered to replace their old, rusty PX frame, along with their performance improvements, but the license plate was still missing. And the day before my exam, it looked like this:
So my hope for a ride was gone.
However, Alex and the work team surprised me, they had taken care of the details to pick me up on the day of the exam.
Platónika's construction took almost a year. Every single step has been filmed, the pandemic and so on and so on has prolonged the process, but the long-awaited day has finally come.

But this story doesn't end here. The next will be to get to know the European scene. And I'll try out all the TOP components she got. A wide variety of adventures and tests are filmed and told here.
Let's hope that these strange times of social distancing will come to an end soon, and we can bring back the lost hugs, shared routes and contact with the asphalt, and we can live out that passion again.

Putting your feet on the ground is a statement in itself!
A confirmation of our identity; Scooter Boys & Girls, Mods, Racers and Travelers know that their ideologies and beliefs end up in accessories that become symbols of their very own qualities.
So do too Platonica this big step after having been in the air for months preparing for the existence of an ideal Vespa to finally touch the garage floor that has endowed her with symbols of safety, style and fun.
For her strong personality, Platonika has now received the latest bgm products, check out the video!
5 Down to earth Platónika Vespa PX bgm 177 by Scooter Center
Based on the competition chassis, but without a separate expansion tank and a fixed damping rate. Ideal for everyday sporting use, even with powerful engines.
Very harmonious basic set-up with an optimal balance between sportiness and suitability for everyday use. Compared to the Competition chassis, it is infinitely adjustable in height. This means that the height of the vehicle can be adjusted on both axles. In this way, the front can be lowered or the rear can be raised without having to change the pre-load, which is so important for the negative spring deflection. The front shock absorber can be continuously adjusted between a height of 240mm and 220mm.

Vespa tire set
The Complete set of tires -bgm Sport black matt tubeless bgm tire and bgm Vespa aluminum rim | bgm35010SLKB
BGM Pro Sport tires (3.50-10) fully assembled on aluminum sport rim BGM Pro tubeless (2.10-10) Ready-to-install tire set consisting of the first-class BGM Pro sports tire with a speed index S (approved up to 180km / h) and a load index of 59 (243kg per tire) as well as the exclusive BGM Pro light alloy wheel *.
TIRE
The specially coordinated material mix with a high silica compound ensures excellent grip in dry and wet conditions. The extremely stable carcass ensures perfect straight-line stability and excellent line accuracy when cornering quickly. Usually tires are simply pressed into shape from a layer of rubber. The bgm tires are significantly more complex to produce and consist of several layers in order to create the perfect tire that meets the highest requirements and has the highest speed rating on the market.
RIMS
The solid aluminum rim from BGM PRO made by FA.Italia saves around 600 grams compared to an original PX steel rim. In addition, there is a weight saving of around 370 grams due to the hose that is no longer required. The unsprung mass is thus reduced by almost one kilogram per axle. The responsiveness of the chassis improves noticeably.
SAFETY
With a double so-called "hump" in the rim bed, the tire is always safely guided in the rim. Similar to the latest runflat technology in the automotive sector, the air can slowly escape if a foreign object (nail or similar) is inserted without the tire slipping into the rim well. The vehicle comes to a controlled stop. The rim has recesses between the screw-on points. The cooling of the brake is improved.
Solid 4 piston Vespa brake caliper with radial attachment.
Two-part CNC milled housing made of high-strength aluminum, anodized.
With 4x25mm pistons, the caliper has 40% more piston area than a conventional two-piston caliper with 30mm pistons. The hydraulic transmission ratio is greatly improved and the braking force (with the same lever force) increased. Another advantage of the 4 piston technology is the symmetrical loading of the pads, which means that they are always fully in contact. A pad change is done quickly and easily with a stud bolt. A big advantage in racing. Central connection of the brake line.

When the technology is in place, it is time to tackle the visual down to the smallest detail. Details that let us recognize the Vespa, which is built entirely from new parts and will be one of the few who will not come from one of the factories.
All words are superfluous when we can look at the result of hours in the workshop in a good mood, because the assembly was almost as fun as it will be to drive it.

As in Mary Shelley's famous story (Frankenstein), also rolls the dice Maryzabel Pieces of different origins together to - hopefully - bring a legend to life.
A central part of Platonica has always been LML frame set. A set consisting of all sheet metal parts of the Vespa PX and directly painted. Sets that are unfortunately only available in limited numbers, as LML has unfortunately no longer existed since 2018.
But back to the Platónika plot: One of our LML frame sets replaces the old and rusty Vespa frame, whose soul it takes over when the old frame number is hammered in.
The inner values of Platónika are mainly determined by the bgm PRO Share determined. For example from the most recent evolutionary stage of the bgm PRO ignition stator plates. The completely redesigned stator features small details such as a degree scale for easier and faster setting of the pre-ignition value or the silicone cables, which are more durable, easier to lay and significantly more temperature-resistant.
Let there be light!
A highlight of the electrical system is definitely the powerful one LED headlightsMoto Nostra. Compared to the conventional BA20d bulb with 35 watts, it impresses with its three times higher luminosity (1300 lumens instead of 400 lumens) with a consumption of only 20 watts.
It took some time to breathe life into the electrics, which have been converted to direct current. Seven months to be precise, during which Mr. Stroh and I - his faithful assistant - used our rather limited free time to get everything sorted.

The Vespa engine - the heart of Platonica - Has in the last post get the desired control angle of the crankshaft
Adjust cylinder overcurrent channels in the motor to optimize performance
Vespa Tuning: Before the complete assembly of the engine can be done, all the work that generates chips has to be done. Only then can the housing be cleaned.
In the next step, this includes the overcurrent channels of the cylinder in the motor.
The BGM177 is designed in such a way that the cylinder also works perfectly on the original overflow channels.
In our project, however, we use the opportunity to adapt the housing directly. Better filling of the cylinder always means one higher possible torque.
The easiest way to transfer the contour of the overcurrent ducts to the motor housing is to place the appropriate cylinder base seal on the housing and thus transfer the contour to the housing.
The contour in the motor housing is then adapted with a milling cutter. It is not necessary to mill the channel exactly as deep as in the original motor housing.
The BGM 177 cylinder is designed from the basic construction in such a way that the piston offers a sufficient cross-section.
The generated surface of the adapted channel can be milled and rough. No further polishing is necessary. As long as there are no rough corners and edges, a slightly roughened surface is perfect.
After the channels have been milled and the housing cleaned again, assembly continues ...

I am quite fortunate to have direct access to the bgm development team. The guys who brought the BGM 177 from the first prototype to the production-ready product are at my side with advice and practical help. A good starting point for Platónika's heart.
The entire SC team is driven by the enthusiasm for scooters. Many have been driving for decades and know what works best, why, how and for what purpose. In combination with 27 years of experience as one of the leading scooter shops, an unbeatable combination. Which flows directly into the bgm products.

The last episode of the Platónika project was about choosing the right components.
Now the parts are subjected to a very extensive visual inspection!
To my surprise, I got a huge box full of Vespa parts the same day I ordered. At this point, a big thank you to the tip-top logistics team for the ultra-fast compilation. And what do you usually do when you finally hold the long-awaited package in your hands? Exactly! Tear open immediately and take out all parts to examine them. Suddenly I found myself with thousands of pieces spread out on the floor and couldn't help but accept the #tetrischallenge. Check out the video and you will understand what it means to recreate an exploded view in real life.

1 The Wishlist - Project PLATÓNIKA Vespa px bgm 177
Only the best of the best, i.e. a multitude of specially developed products from the bgm brand. It would not have been easy for me to pick the best products, but luckily the technical department of the Scooter Centers actively supported here and created a never-ending list in painstaking detailed work in just a few hours.
I am a trainee at Scooter Center. I come from Colombia and take you on my big and small adventures in the blog, take a look behind the scenes with you Scooter Center and take you to scooter meetings.
Vespa Platónika
My way to the last Trainee-Phase gave me an in-depth look at the Technology department brought. I swapped my notebook for work gloves and instead of taking notes, I now make videos of what I have learned.
And as fate would have it, my dream of restoring a Vespa turned into a reality. We have the idea assembling a Vespa completely from scratch. We are so excited about the project that we decided to film the story of the construction with unboxing, reviews and tutorials.
This new Vespa test bike will have all the parts that probably every Vespa rider would like to have, so hopefully not just a Vespa, but a Platonic love will arise!
Here you can see our teaser to get a little taste of this project. So that you, just like me, be able to experience this wonderful experience up close.
TEASER - Vespa Project Platónika - Building a Vespa PX bgm 177
All components must be cleaned thoroughly before installation. By selecting the cylinder seals, a squeeze dimension must be established in the specified area. The use of the cylinder head gasket is not absolutely necessary. The recommendation for the basic setting is a squeeze dimension of 1,0 mm. Observe the tightening torque on the cylinder head and tighten the nuts crosswise step by step.
BGM 177 RETRACT VESPA CYLINDER
After the cylinder has been properly installed, the engine should be warmed up for 60 minutes with load changes up to a maximum of 5000min? ¹. After this process, the engine can deliver its full power and is to be regarded as run-in.
FUEL-OIL MIXING RATIO
For normal use without a resonance exhaust system and with a 24mm carburetor, we recommend a mixing ratio of 2% with high-quality, fully synthetic mixed oil, eg BGM4000. For racing use or when using resonance exhaust systems and larger carburetors, we recommend a mixing ratio of 3% with high-quality, fully synthetic mixed oil, eg BGM4000.

In this post we have already introduced you to the new cylinder. Today we give you a little insight into the development of the cylinder. From the beginning of April 2016 the cylinder finally available!
bgm 177 - the development of the Vespa cylinder
Developing a two-stroke cylinder is very exciting.
Countless parameters that have to be taken into account, thousands of test bench runs, repeatedly measured, calculated, tested, thousands of kilometers of road tests ...
Everything to get a cylinder as a finished end product that high-torque and willing to perform is, but also at the same time durable is and uses little fuel.
At the same time, it should offer the broadest possible range of applications for touring riders who simply combine it with series components, as well as for the sporty, ambitious tuner who is more concerned with performance.
Here is a little insight into the test series that were on the daily program for the BGM177.
OVERCURRENT DESIGN
We have tested a wide variety of solutions for the external shape and design of the overcurrent channels.
We created various duct geometries, control angles and cylinder combustion chambers and compared them both on the road and on the test bench.
TEST MOTORS SPRINT150
For some of the tests, in addition to an original Piaggio Sprint, we also used an LML engine housing with original inlet membrane control as a starting point.
The Sprint's motor housing is representative of the very small, original rotary valve inlet of the Largeframe Engines. The rotary valve inlet of a PX125 is only slightly larger than the inlet of the Sprint engines and the control angles of the crankshafts are almost identical. In terms of the expected output, this is the “most unattractive” starting position. Nevertheless, we wanted to know what performance can be expected with these basic requirements or, better yet, which performance can be achieved.
We presented the result on a Sprint engine with the 24mm SI carburetor of the PX200 in comparison to a 12HP 200 engine.
So that you can interpret the graph below a little better, just imagine a normal PX200. Up to approx. 90km / h something like acceleration can still be felt on a standard 200. This speed corresponds to about 5500min? ¹ of the motor. From this speed, the torque of a 200 engine drops so far that it takes some time to reach 100km / h (6000min? ¹). If you now compare these speed points of the blue curve with those of the red curve on the graph, you can see that the BGM177 is still increasing torque in this area. In other words, when the 200 slowly runs out of air, the BGM177 accelerates even further.
BGM177 vs PX200
TEST MOTOR LML150 MEMBRANE
Since the 125cc engine of the Vespa Sprint with the small rotary valve is too restrictive on the power delivery from a certain power and speed level onwards, we used an LML engine housing for various tests and comparisons. The LML motor housing offers the best prerequisites due to the diaphragm inlet that is already present at the factory and the large overflow channels in the housing. As a result, for example, an inlet that is too small or differently designed overflow channels can have no or only an insignificant influence on tests within a test series.
So on the LML housing you can easily switch between an SI carburetor and a large, adult intake manifold.
We performed the tests in this area with a pre-series cylinder with small duct cutouts in the cylinder base and started with a piston specially made for this test.
The aim of the game was to find out how much space the piston must allow for the overflow duct due to its design in order to ensure good filling. The piston was manufactured in such a way that the clearance around the piston pin in the area of the ÜS channels could be continuously modified by milling.
We tested each of these intermediate steps on our test bench to find out which shape or which combination works best.
TEST OVERCURRENT CROSS SECTION, CYLINDER BASE
The test series below was run on an LML membrane motor with a 24 SI carburetor, BigBox Touring and pistons and ducts that have just been processed in different ways.
At this point in time, the cylinder head was still relatively highly compressed. With the cylinder head in series production, we have reduced the compression somewhat in favor of a broader performance curve.
In its original state, the test piston had the contour of an original PX piston. The piston skirt was closed on the red curve (similar to Piaggio, Polini, Grand Sport, ...)
In the blue curve, the piston has been exposed by a few millimeters in the area around the piston pin. The picture above shows such a piston.
The green curve shows the power curve with partially open overflow channels at the cylinder base and the machined piston. The released area of the channels in the cylinder base corresponds to approx. 80% of the possible channel area that the cylinder can offer.
RED CURVE: Closed piston skirt
BLUE CURVE: Half-open piston skirt
GREEN CURVE: Open piston skirt
The BGM177 can therefore be equipped with a gearbox from the 200 series engines without any problems and offers significantly better performance than the large 200 series engine.
The PX125 and PX150 motors were equipped with a gearbox from around 1982 that is almost identical to that of the PX200. With these engines, the primary drive can be extended directly in order to convert the gained power into speed.
The use of a primary gear with 64 teeth would be recommended here. Depending on the desired area of application, the overall reduction can then be adjusted accordingly with the coupling pinion. The primary gear with 64 teeth offers the advantage that the bgm clutch pinions with 22, 23 and 24 teeth can be used.
This offers the possibility of changing the engine from “sporty short for the city (22/64)” to “Autobahn - everything that works (24/64)”.
In the next post we equip our LML test engine with different carburetors and intake manifolds ...

Here we want you the new one BGM177 cylinder imagine the starting April 2016 will be available.
First video BGM177 - the 177 cylinder for Vespa
We showed the cylinder for the first time at the Scooterists Meltdown. The new Online Scooter Magazine SLUK interviewed Philipp and created an exclusive video for our new cylinder:
Suitable for all Vespa 125/150 Largeframe Engines with 3 overcurrent channels.
These include:
Vespa PX125,
Vespa PX150,
Sprint 150Veloce,
Vespa GTR125,
Vespa TS125 and the
Cosa 125/150 models.
Powerful and reliable aluminum cylinder
With the BGM177 we provide you with a powerful and reliable companion.
Many ideas have flowed into the design of the cylinder, so that you can use the cylinder in one as possible wide performance range can use.
Like all modern cylinders, the BGM177 is also made of aluminum.
This has the advantage of very good heat dissipation, which benefits durability, consumption and performance.
A cast aluminum piston with two piston rings works in the extremely wear-resistant nickel-silicon-carbide-coated cylinder bore.
Very light piston
Due to the design and the high silicon content in the material, the piston can be held very light at 193 grams with great thermal and mechanical stability.
This benefits the freedom of rotation and smoothness.
The 1mm thick piston rings are made by a well-known manufacturer in Italy who also supplies leading piston manufacturers such as Vertex and Meteor with high-quality piston rings. The slim rings minimize friction and thus increase performance. In addition, they enable the exhaust duct window to be expanded without any problems.
The piston pin has a biconical design, ie it is thinner at the ends than in the middle. This further helps to reduce the weight of the moving masses.
Aluminum cylinder with ceramic coating and large transfer ports
In the cylinder, the large channel surfaces and the large volume of the overflow channels offer the best basic conditions for a broad performance characteristics and a early onset of torque.
The BGM177 can be combined with simple series components such as the original SI20 carburetor and an original exhaust. This means that the BGM177 already offers a significant increase in performance. The modern design of the cylinder helps him too much low consumption values at the same time high torque from the lower speed range.
Cylinders with great tuning potential
If you are looking for more power, the BGM177 offers sufficient potential and options to achieve the Performance with little effort to raise further. The cylinder reacts very well to a larger carburetor and a supporting exhaust system, such as the bgm BigBox Touring Exhaust system.
The overflow channels in the cylinder base can be expanded very easily. The two large overflow channels on the left and right are only covered by a small sprue in this area. These can easily be opened with a small hand milling cutter. Here, either the cylinder can be adapted to an already revised motor housing or the full duct cross-section can be transferred to a motor housing.
CNC milled cylinder head
The CNC-milled cylinder head is with many cooling surfaces and thanks to the clearance in the middle of the cylinder head, as little heat as possible is bound above the combustion chamber.
In the franking there is also a possibility of a Temperature sensor to assemble. The temperature can be reliably tapped this close to the combustion chamber.
The usual methods, in which, for example, a temperature sensor with an adapter ring is mounted under the spark plug or screwed to a cooling fin on the outside using a thread, do not show any useful values. They only allow you to assess how warm the cooling air near the spark plug or how warm the cylinder head is on the outside of the cooling fin - in our opinion, these positions are simply unsuitable for reliably determining a temperature value. Therefore, bgm uses the positioning very close to the combustion chamber.
Combustion chamber for a wide range of services
The combustion chamber geometry is designed for a wide range of performance. The shape of the combustion chamber cap also allows the use of strong resonance exhaust systems with an appropriately adapted pinch edge. On a 57mm stroke with a touring or box exhaust, the pinch edge can be adjusted to 1mm using the enclosed seals.
If the cylinder is operated with a resonance exhaust and a stroke of 60mm, we recommend that you start with the pinch edge at 1,2mm.
Valve timing 57mm
On a motor with a 57mm stroke you will achieve the following values with a pinch edge of 1mm:
Compression 10,3: 1
Overcurrent angle 118 °
Outlet angle 171 °
The large length of the cylinder enables the cylinder head to be centered in the bore of the cylinder with a 4mm thick shoulder. Due to the shoulder, the cylinder head gasket is still perfectly centered even in the event of a stroke change and cannot stand in the combustion chamber. If the stroke is changed to 60mm, the cylinder can also be raised further, depending on the planned motor concept, in order to achieve significantly larger overcurrent angles.
Valve timing 60mm
On a motor with a 60mm stroke, the following values are achieved with a pinch edge of 1mm:
Compression 10,8: 1
Overcurrent angle 123 °
Outlet angle 173 °
The outlet width is 42mm (66%) and therefore offers good conditions for a high-revving engine even with short control angles.
BGM177 vs PX 200 12hp
Plug & Play with a lot of power
Here is a comparison between a BGM177 and a standard Rally200 with 12PS Piaggio cylinder (comparable to a Vespa PX200 GS).
The BGM177 cylinder is unchanged in this attempt and is on a Sprint Veloce engine.
The inlet, crankshaft and ducts in the engine have not been machined.
Only one SI24 carburetor the 200cc model was assembled without adjusting the carburetor pan or the engine housing, as well as with a BGM BigBox Touring combined.
The spraying is very much based on the original 200ccm equipment:
Main air correction nozzle: 160
Mixing tube: BE3
Main jet: 125
Idle nozzle: 55/160
Air filter: standard (without additional holes)
The pre-ignition was set to 19 ° BC. set.
The broad power range (smooth lines) and the high available torque (dotted lines) from idle can already be seen very nicely on this not further optimized engine.
[Table id = 2 /]
In the next article we will then deal with increasing the performance of the cylinder. An LML membrane motor will serve as the basis for this.
