Scooter driver gift idea - cable pliers

Personal gift tips for scooter drivers from Scooter Center Team

Name: Ulf

cable pliers-ulf

How long have you been working in the Scooter Center:

Almost from the start, so for 22 years

What is your job in Scooter Center:

Purchasing Asia, everything that belongs to the management,

What do you have to do with scooters:

I've been driving scooters since 1984. I started with a Zündapp R50 (former police scooter). When I was 18, I came to the Vespa 200 Rally and two years later the first Lambretta (Lui 50). My oldest scooter is a Lambretta B from 1950, my youngest a Piaggio ZipSP with a 172 Malossi engine.
My best experiences with the scooter were the trip with the Rally 200 to Italy with 19, English meetings and custom shows in the mid-80s and 90s and every Eurolambretta. Visiting vintage car markets before the Internet age and traveling with friends to Italy and England to find scooter bargains.

Cable cutter, side cutter, pull cutter -TOPTUL Pro Series-

Article no. DNCA227E

Cable pliers pull shears toptul

 

Why:

There is nothing worse than having a bad tool. We sell Toptul tools because we use them ourselves every day. The price / performance ratio is right and Alex, our workshop guru, who hates bad tools, swears by it. With the cable shears, frayed trains are a thing of the past. Anyone who uses these pliers for the first time wonders why they haven't had them long ago. You are often too stingy yourself or you don't immediately see the need - that's why I think it is particularly suitable as a gift!

Cable cutter Diagonal cutter Pull cutter for scooter riders

Shortening a Bowden cable or wire rope, whether braided or made of solid wire, is now no longer a problem. the professional cable shears from Toptul scuts each wire neatly and effortlessly. Hardened cutting edges that enclose the train prevent the train from fraying and ensure a clean cutting edge. The wire is not squeezed between the cutting edges as with a side cutter, but sheared off.

The high gear ratio means that even thicker wires can be cut effortlessly where conventional wire cutters would have long since given up.

Perfect tool for the scooter garage!

  • Special cutting edge shape
  • Very high translation
  • Light and clean cut
  • Low power requirement
  • For Bowden cables and wire ropes (also V2A) up to Ø 4,0 mm
  • Spring steel up to Ø 1,5mm
  • Cutting edges additionally induction hardened
  • Sickle-shaped blades enclose the material to be cut and prevent the wire rope from splicing
  • With opening spring and pawl

TOPTUL has been manufacturing high-quality tools for over 20 years and is absolutely unbeatable in terms of price / performance. TOPTUL products have been in daily use with us for years and are always convincing.

Scooter driver gift idea - Grip-Lock the safety lock for scooters

Personal gift tips for scooter drivers from Scooter Center Team

Name: Daniel

daniel-grip-lock-lock

How long have you been working in the Scooter Center:

For about 16 years

What is your job in Scooter Center:

Purchasing Europe, general administration

What do you have to do with scooters:

I have been driving scooters since 2004. My first scooter was a Gilera Runner FXR, which immediately impressed me with its enormous acceleration and speed! Unfortunately, others were also enthusiastic about my scooter and one day it was gone ... :-(

For this reason, my gift tip is the "GRIP-LOCK" brake lever lock!

Gift idea for scooter drivers

Lock - safety lock - brake lever lock -GRIP LOCK- for brake lever, clutch lever - yellow, black or red

Article no. 7674997

 

Lock - safety lock - brake lever lock -GRIP LOCK- for brake lever, clutch lever

Why:

It is very space-saving and quick to put on and take off. Even so, it's sturdy and almost impossible to crack.
In contrast to a brake disc lock, it can never happen that the lock has not been removed before driving.

Had I had this lock I would probably still be driving FXR today!

Grip-Lock the express lock - also for scooters

ASSEMBLY
Attaching and removing the Grip-Lock takes less than 10 seconds!

PROTECTED
Grip-Lock is colored and easily recognizable on the handlebar. That immediately scares off potential thieves! But that's not enough, of course: Grip-Lock uses four sturdy steel struts made of hardened spring steel inside, which effectively prevent theft with a saw or other cutting tools. Absolutely rustproof thanks to the fiber-reinforced nylon sheathing.

SAFE
With a blocked throttle grip, it can never happen to you not to have removed the lock before driving. A forgotten lock can result in considerable damage to the vehicle on the brake disc lock or other external locks.
The BASF special nylon with glass fiber reinforcement used for Grip-Lock is 200% stronger than conventional all-purpose plastic and gives the safety system special strength and rigidity.

SAUBER
Grip-Lock is cleaner and easier to use than cumbersome and dirty brake disc locks or chain locks that first have to be fumbled through frames or spokes somewhere.

Lambretta tires

Scooter driver gift idea - Lambretta parts

Personal gift tips for scooter drivers from Scooter Center Team

Name: Philip

philipp lambretta parts

How long have you been working in the Scooter Center:

Since 2005

What is your job in Scooter Center:

Essentially anything Lambretta related. From purchasing to product development and support for our own brand bgm to sales and dealer support.

What do you have to do with scooters:

The scooters are quite a central part of the day at the latest after I've turned my hobby into a job. At the moment I ride my TV 200 down everyday. Otherwise I only drive the Lambretta. My only Vespa never drives and if always only sporadically and then the great battery ignition goes on strike again or the carburetor boils over. And then I cook over.

I've been riding a scooter for 23 years now, starting with a PX 80 in weathered red ... In 1994 I got my first Lambretta Scooter Center (at that time still in the rose garden) bought. For 2.600 DM an SX 200 in the original paint with German papers and fresh TÜV. The original paint was quickly a thing of the past, as was the battery holder that got in the way of the TS1.

There are too many wonderful experiences with and around the scooter. The highlight this year was definitely the ride with one of the original 2-cylinder prototypes at the Open Day at the Rimini Lambretta Center.

Seat cover -BGM PRO Alfatex- Lambretta LI, LI S, SX, TV - black

Article no. BGM2700

<Back Seat cover -BGM PRO Alfatex- Lambretta LI, LI S, SX, TV - black

 

Why:

Wonderful opportunity to give away a seat cover that was available on the 2-cylinder prototype with 12 "from Innocenti. The idea of ​​commissioning such a bench cover came to us during one of the numerous visits to Vittorio Tessera in the museum. Either as part of the annual Novegro excursion or when collecting parts at Casa Lambretta. In addition to the great look with Alfatex on the side, the cover is also sufficiently lined to take the horror away from longer distances.

Seat cover -BGM PRO Alfatex
Seat cover for the standard Lambretta seat frames. The cover is covered with Alfatex on the sides and top of the middle part. The bench, which was handcrafted for us in Italy, is lined with foam. This guarantees a high level of comfort even on long journeys.

One of the two two-cylinder prototypes from Innocenti has been equipped with a bench like this one.

The idea of ​​the side Alfatex from Innocenti was implemented as standard with GP Electronics.

  • Fits almost all Lambretta bench frames
  • Comfortable thanks to foam padding
  • Made In Italy
  • Subtle sporty look for the Lambretta connoisseur

The scope of delivery includes two additional sheet metal clips plus fastening material, so that the line of rivets can be designed continuously. Alternatively, the seat strap 8040110 can be used.

Article no. 3331560

Luggage compartment set -RLC Twin Cylinder SX200- Lambretta LI (Series 3), LIS, SX, TV (Series 3) - GRP - primed

Why:

You can give away another 2-cylinder prototype-specific part as a gift. This time from the version with 10 “. Since it was supposed to give way to the original glove compartment position for an oil tank, there was this beautiful compartment for mounting in the leg shield. Barely visible from the side, it fits perfectly into the line of the Lambretta. Well, one would not have expected otherwise from Innocenti. It is fastened at the bottom with the screw connections of the cascade, at the top (outside of the field of vision) a hole for an M5 screw must be drilled in the leg shield. The compartment comes with a lock, two keys and a gray rubber. Fits for all Series 3 LI; SX, TV, GT, Special and Serveta models.

Lambretta glove compartment RLC
Lambretta overhead locker as it is installed on one of the two existing Lambretta prototypes with a 2-cylinder engine. This scooter underwent a conservation and technical overhaul in 2015 by the Rimini Lambretta Center.

Nice by-product is the reproduction of this glove box. The lower fastening is done via the screw connection of the cascade. An M5 hole must be drilled in the leg shield for the upper screw connection. This screw connection is covered by the glove compartment when installed.

The glove box is made of fiberglass. The scope of delivery includes the lock with two keys and a gray luggage compartment rubber.

Fits to all Series 3 scooters such as LI, SX. TV, GT, Special and Serveta.

The edition is limited.

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.

Personal gift tips for scooter drivers from Scooter Center Team

Name: Oliver

oliver workshop trolley

How long have you been working in the Scooter Center:

Right from the start, so for almost 24 years

What is your job in Scooter Center:

I try to keep track of things

What do you have to do with scooters:

My entry into the scooter world was a Vespa PK1986 XL in 50. With the "Fuffie" I made my first experiences with scooter tuning and then in 75 I bought an old PX102 with a few DR 1988ccm and Polini 200ccm cylinders. In the first few years it went through a metamorphosis from a modroller to a cut Scooterboy camouflage roller. Then followed a GS4 with 160ccm which I still own today, 25 years later.
Then my love for the Lambretta began and some SX200, DL200 etc. passed through my hands until I built the Lambretta Custom "Virtual Reality" in 1994.
Besides the virtual reality I am currently driving a LI150 1`Series with 195ccm bgm R / T cylinder and a Rally 200 with Polini aluminum cylinder and a bgm Touring Big Box.

Product: Toptul workshop trolley with 322 tools + tool box with 223 tools

Article no. GV32203 + GX22307

toptul workshop trolley toptul workshop box

Why:

Working with the workshop trolley and tool boxes is simply fun, everyone is well equipped for the needs of the scooter and car screwdriver - thanks to the foam inserts that are perfectly molded to the tool, not only screwing but also tidying up is fun.

We have been using TOPTUL tools in the workshop for over 10 years and are absolutely convinced of the quality and TOPTUL is also available in the workshop trolley and tool box at an unbeatable set price!

TOPTUL workshop trolley

TOPTUL has been manufacturing high-quality tools for over 20 years and is absolutely unbeatable in terms of price / performance. TOPTUL products have been in daily use with us for years and are always convincing.

The finely subdivided toothing of the ratchets is only mentioned here as an example. The massive and robust design with 72 teeth achieves a stitching of only 5 degrees (1/72 of a turn), which means that even in very tight spaces with little travel for the ratchet, work can be carried out precisely and without repositioning.

TOPTUL tools of course meet or exceed the current standards such as DIN / ISO / ANSI. The in-house quality control is very strict and is expressed, for example, in the individual measurement protocol enclosed with each torque wrench with regard to the measurement accuracy and the release behavior.

From our own experience, we can recommend TOPTUL products to every “intensive screwdriver” with a clear conscience.

The dream of mobility and independence made the VW Beetle a symbol of the post-war years. And that's not his only one Common to classic scooters like Vespa and Lambretta.

So this is a beautiful one Gift idea for scooter drivers and all VW Beetles and VW Bulli fans: we now have two wonderful new calendars in our range:

Calendar -The VW Beetle 2016-

1st edition, 13 sheets with b / w photos, with picture explanations, format 56 x 46,2 cm, spiral binding, Delius Klasing

No way has ever been too far or too steep for him, his boxer engine under the tailgate almost always toiled without complaint. So it is hardly surprising that it advanced to become a marathon machine and earned a brilliant reputation

The car developed by Ferdinand Porsche was built in the German provinces and grew into the first real world car. And the Beetle always cut an excellent figure. Those who did not drive themselves would rather take a seat in the front passenger seat or the soft back seat.

Calendar -Bulli-Parade 2016-

1st edition, 13 sheets with b / w photos, with picture explanations, format 56 x 46,2 cm, spiral binding, Delius Klasing

This calendar celebrates a classic style icon: the VW Bulli. The bus and van legend still enjoys a large fan base to this day. The universal concept and the variety of types of this van for people and goods made the VW Bulli a kind of "family member" for many of its owners. Depending on the equipment, almost anything was possible with this car, as shown by its missions at the post office, police and fire brigade or as an ambulance.

For the large fan base of the VW bus who do not want to miss their Bulli in everyday automotive life, this calendar shows an extraordinary parade of this cult car: vehicles of the first generation and their drivers on and off the road, in their free time or at work .

Vespa in summer

The summer comes!

, , , ,

Today is the shortest day of the year

Mostly no snow yet, but still: cold. Wet. Winter. Your scooter is likely to be parked in the dark garage or basement for the winter.

It's just before Christmas - but that doesn't really comfort the real scooterist about the fact that now is not the best time to ride a scooter! In this deeply sad time we want to give hope to the scooter driver in you and show light at the end of the long winter tunnel.

You have to go over 7 bridges, seven tips to get over this winter:

1. Motivational video

2. Summer is definitely coming

Things are looking up: today is the shortest day of the year - that is, the worst is over and summer is coming! How about a new Vespa cup for hot tea or coffee while summer is still a long time coming. A new Vespa bath towel would also be great when summer finally arrives - it also looks good in the sauna during the already tense waiting time.

3. Become a scooter superhero now

Get your scooter out of the basement now and turn it into a custom project for the SCOOTERSHOW'15! This is the real one again Scooter Custom Show 2015 on March 21.03.2015st, XNUMX in Cologne

5. Let it shine

6. Hard scooter boys

You don't even know what I'm writing about here? Are you always happy because you ride your scooter all year round? My advice: bgm PRO stainless steel rims and good winter tires. This is how you get through everywhere: Sticky is with them Vespa rims raced through the desert.
