Platónika test drives after more than 7.000 km more than completed and off we go!
With the Scooter Center off to Zell am See from September 10th to 12th, 2021
Slowly it is enough to just make kilometers on the way to and from work. It is time for longer journeys with Platónika and our trip to the Vespa Alp Days is the best opportunity!
In my personal ranking of the events, VAD has a special place:
- It is -after the Vespa World Days in Celle- the biggest event I have attended. Both were in 2017 and in Zell am See I am with me more than 1000 Vespistas out 20 celebrated different nations.
- It was my first meeting on European soil.
- I had never seen so many different Vespas together, including this one 60 oldest Vespas of the continent. Keyword Faro Basso race.
- It's also the longest event 8 days of continuous fun.
- The most beautiful landscapes my eyes have seen.
- The oldest Vespa I've ever ridden, the beautiful Vespa Super Sport 180 from Franz, which he lent me very nicely.
- And it was the event at which I made great friendships that have existed until now and continue to strengthen.
Back to the future
Now the reasons are different, I travel to work. As part of the Scooter Centerwho is the official sponsor of the event. And of course, Platónika is coming with us.
I am preparing to show you all of these adventures firsthand. But now some nice memories of 2017.
The good friends I've made

Facebook eventGuests, visitors and exhibitors
Evo Retrofit
Hated & bashed by die-hard 2-stroke fans. Those who were allowed to try it out are mostly enthusiastic!
With us on Open Day you have the opportunity to try it out and then form your own opinion:
ELECTRICATE YOUR CLASSIC VESPA
The évo conversion kit for the Smallframe Vespa is the first electrical conversion kit with TÜV. Available in a complete kit for many models. The conversion is reversible, the frame is not destroyed, plug & play! The team is currently working on a version for the Largeframe-Models. Be curious what they show us, what an electrified Vespa puts on the test bench and test a converted Vespa yourself! Info requested in advance?
Tuscany feeling in Scooter Center: M&R Vespa bags, used Vespas and paintings
The exclusive M&R bag is the perfect addition to any Vespa and offers plenty of storage space for this and that. It hugs the shape of the Vespa shield - both outside and inside. It is attached using integrated hooks and can be removed with a handle so that you can take it with you and use it as a shoulder bag. It was designed by the Italian designer Mauro Mulas for many Vespa models in collaboration with an experienced saddler who handcrafts the bags in his workshop in the middle of Tuscany with attention to detail.
In addition to these great bags from Tuscany, you will also find various used Vespa models from Italy to buy at this stand.
A friend of the two exhibits her paintings. Another highlight of our OpenDay!
Crazy Monkey Development
The Crazy Monkey. Rocks is the URL of Crazy Monkey Development! Here, too, the name says it all and we are happy that the crazy monkey is sending his R² & D² team out to the Open Day. This is what the colorful animal world from Gentle Goat to Raging Rhino to Whale presents to us!
McCloudt's Originals
"Because it works!" That is the motto of McCloudts Originals, who present their product range for the care and preparation of vehicles of all kinds at our Open Day. We are happy!
Private parts market
Our SUPERKOLLE was the first to secure a place in the parts market. The warehouse also filled up during the Corona period and we are curious to see which precious items will be presented to us.
Scooterstuff.de
In business for decades and luckily still not professional! Rene (on the right in the picture) from and with www.scooterstuff.de! The offered shirts, prints, stickers are usually only produced in small quantities and offered for sale on runs. Whether in a backpack or sidecar, there is always room for a small selection and no annoying van disturbs the harmonious picture on 'em Run. Usually as merrily tipsy as his customers, Rene, together with the Clubkombina filthy&sly behind them, has been bringing consistent fashion and no trends to the body for years. With us also still working on the turntables for real scooteristit sounds!
Powolotti 2 stroke tuning
And Austria is also sending envoys to the Open Day. We look forward to Michael Powolotti. Among other things, head of Powolotti 2-stroke tuning!
Great LUI
The first international acceptance for the Open Day came from Italy. Tom comes with his Super LUI and presents the project to us. With its motor housing you can plant the inner values of the Li family in your LUI. The picture is at Scooter Center Cup emerged at the Nürburgring. Tom won the regularity rating in the rain with Michelin S1 tires. Dreadful!
Roller shop demonstrator
Our anticipation for the Open Day keeps growing! There are more and more registrations for the private parts market, dealer stands and other great visitors! Among other things, the cover stars of the roller shop catalogs. The red one was built 35 years ago by Angelo Zirri, sold to the scooter shop in 1989 and was and is simply a dream. Marvel at live & in color on September 18th.
Markus Mayer - Vespa Gentleman Giro
We are totally happy to be able to support Markus with his Vespa Gentleman Giro - Vespa Tour for Kids with Cancer. For our Open Day he will be there for the good cause. And on the weekend before the Open Day we are out and about with Markus at the VESPA ALP DAYS Zell am See.
We look forward to you, here or there!

Joint approach to Scooter Center Scooter parts market
The Flatliners SC drives to our parts store and offers that you can join. It is well known that driving together is even more fun. The club has chosen a beautiful route including a classic ferry ride across the Rhine!
Since we are planning on Saturday Scooter Center Driving the parts market, we thought ... just come along, we will collect you!
The whole thing will start in Wipperfürth and go through the Bergisches Land and then end in BM-Glessen.
A tabular list of the intermediate stations can be found below. We are also trying to run a Google-based online tool to track the current location. (The link will then be posted here)
I think most of them know the general conditions when we go on our tours. No original Fuffis, no low-performance mopets in two-man operation.
It is best to show up at the appropriate meeting point with a full tank of fuel.
The timing will go something like this:
- 8:30 a.m. departure from Wipperfürth Ohler Wiesen
- 8:45 a.m. crossroads
- 9:00 a.m. Dabringhausen ARAL gas station
- 9:15 a.m. Hilgen / old train station (Oldi Treff)
- 9:40 a.m. Leverkusen Pattscheid (Burscheider Str./ Diepentaler Str.)
- 10:00 a.m. Ferry station Hitdorf / Langel
- 10:30 Scooter Center Cologne
And as always ... come up or you will cry!
(Attention, Google doesn't seem to like ferries. It should go by ferry across the Rhine.)
