Modern butyl hoses for Vespa and Lambretta

The new bgm hoses have been specially developed according to our specifications for the needs of classic scooters. The tuning measures and, accordingly, the performance development has skyrocketed here in recent years. There are modern disc brakes and a great chassis with the bgm shock absorbers. When it comes to tires, we scooter drivers mostly benefit from the development of new motorcycle tires, the innovations here are transferred to the small tire sizes. But nothing has changed with the hose for decades. We have now changed that:

NEW: Hose Lambretta BGM8700L and Hose Vespa BGM8700V

Different valve positions for Vespa and Lambretta

Our hoses are specially manufactured for the requirements of the Vespa and Lambretta:

There is a model with a classic 90 ° valve position for Vespa and Co. and a special hose with a perfect 45 ° valve position for Lambretta. The valves are vulcanized in this model-specific position. The butyl content is over 50%, that's what she does extremely airtight and absolutely reliable. The high butyl content makes the hose expensive to manufacture, but in our opinion the result justifies the effort.

Vespa hose

Classic 90 ° valve position suitable for Vespa and many other models.

Lambretta hose

Hose -BGM PRO- 3.00-10, 3.50-10, 90 / 90-10, 100 / 80-10, 100 / 90-10 - valve position Lambretta article no. BGM8700L
Special 45 ° valve position. For your security. This prevents the valve from hitting the fork link screw and tearing off sooner or later.

True to detail for the classic look

For the detail lover, we not only paid attention to the safety-relevant, correct angle of the valve position with the valve of the lambretta hose, but also to the metal valve cap with combined valve extractor. Just like it was with the old Lambrettas back then.

High quality and perfect fit

Hoses with a lower butyl content have more flexibility due to a larger rubber content and thus serve a larger range of possible tire sizes (up to 130 / 90-10). A major disadvantage, however, is poor airtightness. In favor of the better product quality, we therefore decided on a high butyl content and thus on a supported tire size of up to 100 / 90-10. For your security!

Despite the perfect fit for the Vespa rims: The Vespa is also known as the mother of all motor scooters. Often copied and never matched. This has one advantage: The bgm Vespa hoses are iCan be used in many other vehicles with ten inch tubular tires.

Assembly tips

When assembling the tires on the bead insert with assembly paste and Dust the inside of the tire with talc. The assembly paste ensures the correct end position of the tire while the talcum minimizes the friction of the tube.
This maximizes the safety and service life of the hose!

The hoses fit the following scooter models:
