CNC Lambretta Barracuda

Before the Lambretta BARRACUDA was Vespa EL-SIDNEY

Our customer Felix and his new project: Lambretta Barracuda! He's coming to our premiere with this impressive scooter custom show. But let's take a quick look back first:

A previous project by Felix is ​​the Vespa PX “EL-SIDNEY”. This scooter tells a story: it was the first Vespa with a CNC engine.

The Vespa PX EL-SIDEY has been the development vehicle for various developments since May 2006, not least for the one that is available today Vespa CNC motor from GP-ONE and KR-Automation GmbH, as we do in our Vespa Smallframe demonstrator XI GENERATION have installed.

Of course, the scooter was also in various newspapers and magazines such as Scooterring, Rollerjornal, etc.

With this Vespa PX, Felix has won some “Best Engineering” awards and has also proven in practice on quartermiles what the scooter is capable of via 50PS plugged. As is currently the case in the new Lambretta project, that brought it bgm PRO chassis Even with the Vespa, the 50PS is safe on the road.

Engine:

  • 38mm Keihin carburetor
  • V-Force membrane
  • Rotax 248cc cylinder
  • 61mm KR CNC crankshaft
  • S&S coupling
  • KR CNC gearbox
  • S&S wide tire kit
  • 120/90 rear tires
  • KR CNC engine block with support of the main shaft with 3rd ball bearing
  • Exhaust in-house development with Viton flange after the manifold and suitable right hand routing
  • Silent bushes from ClaussStudio
  • Adapted MVT ignition

Frame and chassis:

  • Stainless steel pipe in the hatch
  • Fully hydraulic disc brake on the front wheel
  • Jaws widened by 40mm on each side (gills on spare wheel cheek made of carbon fiber)
  • Carbon fiber spoiler with a satin finish, tested twice in the wind tunnel of the University of Stuttgart
  • Chassis bgm PRO
  • Short-stroke throttle
  • Speedometer SIP
  • Exhaust gas temperature measurement Stage6
  • Clear glass turn signals
  • Xenon headlights dipped beam
  • High beam halogen
  • Taillight LED
  • Harley tank in the passage (rotated and modified)
  • Water cooler (KTm Duke) arranged under the side hood in a V-shape.
  • 2pcs. SPAL fan can be switched on separately if necessary
 

The Lambretta BARRACUDA story

After selling the EL-Sidney in 2014, Felix fell into a deep hole ;-). Well at least he was looking for a new challenge and comforted himself with a Lambretta frame.
Over time, the vision arose to build another vehicle with a CNC motor. With the idea of ​​further developing the ideas from the El-Sidney project and integrating new features. The Lambretta BARRACUDA should surpass the Vespa EL-SIDNEY.
So at the end of 2015, Felix gave a Lambretta motor to Topometric for 3D measurement. The tried and tested cylinder and membrane from the Vespa engine should also be used in the Lambretta. The decision to integrate an injection is new. So we can be excited and hope that our dynamometer will do the same ...

Why “BARRACUDA”?

In order to have a theme around the vehicle, an individual design was developed around the Lambretta: BARRACUDA.
Why “BARRACUDA”? Predatory fish, long and slender. Fits 100% on this Lambretta!
Custom is the program here. Most of the parts are custom-made. The design was based on all of these self-made CNC components adopted in order to get not only a paint job, but also many small, finely worked details. This is how a Lambretta is currently being created with unique recognition features from the luggage rack, brake drums, to the step rails, brake pedal and the handles:

Vespa Smallframe Motor housing reduced

We currently have the high-end Vespa Smallframe GP One motor housing reduced by 33%.

The one milled from the full block of aluminum Vespa Smallframe Motor housing for Vespa V50, PV125, ET3, PK50, PK80, PK125 etc. can also cope with the massive loads of modern cylinder generation such as Falc 153cc or Parmakit W-Force.

The solution for powerful engines

Original motor housing: In order to be able to install this cylinder class with a 60mm bore, it is necessary to make modifications to the series housing, whereby the wall becomes very thin in some places. In the case of very powerful engines, cylinder base mountings were already torn off.

GP One motor housing: Gernot Penn's case, on the other hand, is bulletproof. There is enough solid aluminum everywhere and some clever detail improvements are also included in the engines well over 30hp a secure base on the rear wheel.

A test stand day was held at GP-one on January 28.01.2012, XNUMX in favor of St. Anna Children's Cancer Research in Vienna.
In addition to many interested Vespa and Lambretta drivers, some greats from the Tuning League and the ESC circus were guests.
Despite the winter temperatures, in addition to the Vespa and Lambretta fans, around 200 spectators were guests on this day, thanks to whose entertainment the proceeds for the children's cancer aid could be increased to over € 1000, -.

Most powerful Vespa Smallframe was a Falc engine built by Patrick Scharf with 41,8PS / 30,7Nm on the rear wheel.
The best Lambretta was with 23,6PS / 22,5Nm and the best was Vespa Largeframe measured with 39,2PS / 31,2Nm.
