And a few more impressions of the junior series from Casa Lambretta.

6V and 12V buzzers and horns for the Li family of Lambrettas and their attachment

In view of the 14 years of construction of the Li family - starting with the TV 175 Series 1 in September 1957 and ending with the dl / GP 200 in April 1971 - the variation in horns and buzzers and their attachment to the Lambretta frame is not that confusing.

First of all, it should be mentioned that there is either buzzing (for AC systems with alternating voltage) or horns (for DC systems with direct current to be recognized by the battery). All Lambrettas were originally delivered with 6 V on-board electronics.

When converting to 12 V systems, the original buzzers and horns continue to work without any problems, even with the 12 volts that are now available. But humiliations should be avoided, otherwise they will quit the service sooner or later.

Series 1 and early Series 2 models to July 1960

On all Series 1 and Series 2 models through July 1960 the horn mount is welded directly to the frame and looks like this:

The right horn:

art. Number: CLE66D

Horn -GPM 12V DC
Lambretta LI 150 (Series 1), LI 150 (Series 2), TV 175 (Series 1), TV 175 (Series 2)

is screwed directly to the frame and decoupled from the frame with two rectangular anti-vibration rubbers.

Series 2 from 07/1960 and Series 3 up to the end of 1967

During the construction of the Series 2, the attachment of the horn was changed. The welded bracket with two bolts is replaced with a rectangular block with an M8 stud. A retaining plate, often called a Y-bracket, is attached to this. And the original looks like this:

This special retaining plate was not available as a repro for a long time, Timo from TD Customs took care of it and supplies us with it:
Bracket Horn -TD-Customs
Lambretta LI (Series 2), TV (Series 2) -> 07/1960

art. Number: 3333492

We already know the corresponding horn:
Horn -GPM 12V DC
Lambretta LI 150 (Series 1), LI 150 (Series 2), TV 175 (Series 1), TV 175 (Series 2)

art. Number: CLE66D

Since the mounting of the late Series 2 is known to be identical to the Series 3, the Series 3 retaining plate can also be used with the corresponding horn. The retaining plate in the series comes much closer to the name Y-Bracket:

and using this part:

fastened to the frame with M8 nut and corrugated washer on the stud.

art. Number: 7672861

Horns (or buzzers) suitable for the holder are available in 6 V and 12 V:

Horn (buzzer) CASA LAMBRETTA 6V/12V AC
Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3)
Zinc

Horn -GPM 6V DC
Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3)

Horn -GPM 12V DC
Lambretta LI, LIS, SX, TV (Series 2-3)

Series 3 from 1968 and dl / GP

At the end of 1967, i.e. in 1968, the attachment was simplified and the Y-bracket was replaced by a bracket welded to the frame.

In order to decouple the horn from vibrations, the holes in the retaining plate on the horn are enlarged and special Allen screws and vibration rubbers and washers are used.

Here the horn with the anti-vibration rubbers:

Found for alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical systems:

Horn -GPM 6V/12V DC
Lambretta LIS (1968-), SX (1968-), DL, GP

Horn -GPM 6V/12V AC
Lambretta LIS (1968-), SX (1968-), DL, GP

You can find the screws here:

And this is what it looks like installed on a preserved dl 200:

The background probably doesn't seem unfamiliar to the inclined Lambretta connoisseur.

Many thanks to Markus for the image rights.

And now something about big horns. Originally, the real horns (i.e. the DC things) had a larger diameter. Namely 85mm. Occasionally we also get those from Casa Lambretta:

Horn -GPM 6V/12V DC
Lambretta LIS (1968-), SX (1968-), DL, GP

Horn -GPM 6V/12V AC
Lambretta LIS (1968-), SX (1968-), DL, GP

An old friend of Scooter Center was here. Sebastian Alvarez from Argentina, he came especially for EuroLambretta 2022 in Belgium and Euro Vespa Days in Portugal and now that he was around he decided to stock up on spare parts for his shops, learn more about the facilities at the Scooter Centers to find out and to visit us.

And of course I had to be there to tell him all about it in his native language Scooter Center and Cologne to explain!!!

History of Vespa and Lambretta in Argentina

but we also took the opportunity to learn a little more about the incredible history of Vespa, Lambretta and the very special one: Siambretta in Argentina, because it is one of the South American countries with the longest Vespa and Vespa Club history, and how could different when the Vespa is represented by a legend: Juan Manuel FANGIO, the Argentine racing driver considered by experts as one of the most outstanding professional drivers in world motorsport of all time, having won five world titles in Formula 1.

With so much luck, Sebastian had access to beautiful treasures from his customers, like this piece with original papers signed by Fangio:

The origin of the Siambretta in Argentina begins in the 1950s, with the SIAM company, which imported all the parts, but then started building under the name: SIAM-Lambretta, the desire then took the name: siambretta, the success was such that it started production quite nationally.

The curious thing about the Siambretta is that the most famous models in Argentina were exactly the oldest Lambretta models, while in Italy the 200, 175, 150, etc. are the most "common" Lambrettas, while in Argentina the 125 was very successful. In Argentina there are circles of “siambreteros” who own motorcycles admirable for their level of originality.

Restauraciones Extremas - Official Dealer Scooter Center in Argentina

and Restauraciones Extremas are part of this important history in Argentina, reviving ancient beauties. Here are some examples of the "extreme restorations" he's done and some of them are possible thanks to the new parts he's from Scooter Center got.  

Siambretta 125 LD and Siambretta TV175

Congratulations for such dedicated work, nice to see how everyone in the Lambretta world knows each other and forms a nice community, have fun in the EuroLambretta and thank you Sebastian for visiting us, you are always welcome You can do more of his work see here: instagram.com/restauracionesextremas/

Video SC Cup at Nürburgring 2021

The end of an era is very near to come. There had been rumors in 2019 about the closure of the Scooters India Limited in 2019, in January 2021 it was official that the Indian cabinet made the decision for closing SIL indeed.

what was Scooters India Limited?

The SIL company took over the rights and tools for manufacturing the Lambretta from Innocenti in 1971. Until the plant was set up and running it took a while. But from 1975 onwards they produced and marketed the two-wheelers Vijai Deluxe (DL) and later the Vijai Super for the domestic market and the Lambretta GP for the export markets. Besides the two-wheeler production they also produced the three-wheelers, mainly for the domestic market though. The two-wheeler production was stopped in 1997 and the focus from then on was for the three-wheelers and Lambretta spares for the export market.

The SIL scooters were popular during the 90's and Scooter Center as well imported quite a few containers full of brand new SIL Lambretta GP 200 back then.

Now it seems that the factory is going to be demolished very soon. Our friend Abhi was so kind to send us some pictures he has recently taken in the SIL plant. Who knows, maybe the last ones.

The end of an era!

SCOOTERS INDIA LIMITED SHORT FACTS:

  • Incorporated in 1972 as Scooters India Limited.
  • Company's plant owes its origin to Innocenti of Italy from which it bought over the plant and machinery, design, documentation, copyright and so on. The company is also said to possess the world right of the trade name LAMBRETTA / LAMBRO.
  • In 1975, company started its commercial production of Scooters under the brand name of Vijai DL (later Vijai Super) for domestic market and Lambretta for overseas markets.
  • Located at 16 Km mile stone, South-west of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh on No 25 and well connected by road, rail and air.
  • Key player on supplying Lambretta enthusiasts around the world until the end of the 90s.

Scooter Center Cup Nürburgring September 2021 – Scooter races at the Nürburgring

True to the motto "The fun is in the foreground"Took place last weekend as part of the German Endurance Championship of the Dortmund Motorcycle Club Scooter Center Cup at the Nürburgring. 42 participants had registered in advance to take part in the regularity run for motor scooters on the Grand Prix circuit of the Nürburgring. The starting field was mixed because there were no restrictions in terms of make and year of manufacture. They started together, the rating was in two classes (divided into geared and automatic scooters).

 

 

From the Lambretta from 1954 about the classic Vespa up to modern automatic scooter, From seven to over 50 hp and from rookies to professionals, everything was represented. Everyone is allowed to take part, and that's exactly what makes this cup so appealing - the great variety of drivers and scooters who don't get in each other's way on the big and wide track. In addition, there are regulations that only regulate the safety aspects and otherwise leave all freedom. Open to oldies and young automatic scooters. The perfect event for everyone who wants to get a taste of racing and do a few laps on the track. Our Maryzabel took advantage of this opportunity and entered the race with her PX “Platónika”. She will share her experience with you in a second report.

 

 

You could register the day before from 18 p.m. and present your vehicle to the technical inspection. An advantage, as not everyone passed this test straight away (the problem was often the excessive volume, which according to the regulations could not exceed 98 dB), because this gave the opportunity to repair the defects in peace and to re-lock the vehicle the next day present.

 

 

On the day of the race there was a total of four runs, two training sessions of 20 minutes each, a qualifying and, finally, the actual race, the Regularity run, during which 35 minutes could be driven. The track was still a bit wet from the nightly rain during the first run, but it got already during the second practice session neatly turned on the gas! On Great fun for everyonethat we spoke to. At the end of the day there were a few technical failures, but no falls, everyone arrived safely at the finish line after the last run.

We hope that the last restrictions due to Corona will no longer apply next year and that we will be able to start again in front of an audience!

Results of the evenness run:

Class 1 (switch scooter)
1st place: Karsten Rehn (total diff. 0.173 sec.)
2nd place: Stefan Menke (total diff. 0.247 sec.)
3rd place: Andy Reid (total diff. 0.491 sec.)

Class 2 (automatic scooter)
1st place: Hans-Werner Both (total diff. 0.011 sec.)
2nd place: Christian Liebig (total diff. 0.024 sec.)
3rd place: Federico Vanore (total diff. 0.337 sec.)

Results in detail Nürburgring

part of Scooter Center Being a team also means working with great people. Driving is even better than working! Passionate Lambrettisti sit in the office on both my left and right. So it was only a matter of time before I would go with one of them. Or rather with her, but she is not just any girl, she is: Yoleila (as she is known on Facebook) or Julia. She is president of the Lambretta Club in Germany, drives scooter races, collects old vehicles in their original condition, works as a graphic designer ... and I could go on with the list. That's why we interview them to find out their story, which we always love to hear.

The result was a very exciting project.

Stay until the end to find out what it's about;)

Deliver Mission with Lambretta TV 175 and Vespa GTS in Bangkok

Travel report Thailand, Bangkok 2018

 

It's January 2021 the lockdown has just been extended and tightened. The presence in the shop is restricted by the obligation to work from home. And we miss a lot of what makes our lifestyle fun. No runs, no nighters, no weekenders, no races and also no barley juice sextets with friends in the workshop. Cazzo! Sometimes it feels like there's nothing left but Covid.

 

The other day we were discussing our travel activities for the during our Skype lunch break Scooter Center. We have already done quite a bit and mostly it ended up sweaty and dirty or with a well-groomed hangover on long journeys back in the van on the highway.

One of the ultimate highlights of all trips was the visit to Bangkok in 2018. We have already been to India and Vietnam and have looked at dealers, producers and visited LML several times. The plan for Bangkok was similar. There are plenty of dealers and we wanted to do cold acquisition with classic handle cleaning. And also get a better feel for the scene there, about which we admittedly knew little. With the little bit that we knew, it was somehow clear to us that the basic tenor of the western hemisphere “all copycats there” could not be right. To anticipate it and to spare one or the other a long break from reading: Seldom met such passionate scooterists who are so far ahead and live the whole thing!

 

Buddy Seat Lambretta Garage

Our first stop after landing was a visit to Buddy Seat Lambretta Garage. An incredibly cool workshop with frame and fork straightening benches on an incredibly high level. We had to give up our attempt to get there on our own, unsuccessfully. Even a taxi driver could only call us at Buddy Seat help. He then came to us to pick us up. And what a start! Hardly two hours in the city and we are escorted by a Lambretta TV 200. Not a bad start to the seven day business trip. The language barrier was unfortunately very high and the Lambretta talk was successfully conducted with hands and feet.

[modula id = ”100205 ″]

Lambretta Thailand Cafe

Before we start to get bored in epic breadth:

That was our second stop Lambretta Thailand Cafe, in which the Lambretta Thailand store of our very good friend Show is located. He speaks perfect English and took care of us for the rest of our stay, giving us insights that we would have gained without him. Thank you, Show !!! At least for Philipp - maybe even for Ulf - he made a business trip a more than perfect vacation.

Deliver scooter parts in Bangkok with Lambretta TV 175 and Vespa GTS

In addition to our daytime entertainment at the dealers to be visited showed us Show pretty cool places. Places that showed us how passionate and obsessed the Thais are with Vespa and Lambretta. One day we were even allowed to come along Show and Lert Deliver scooter parts on Lambretta TV 175 and Vespa GTS in Bangkok.

The collectors we were allowed to visit cannot go unmentioned. That was really big cinema that we were offered there. And we are always amazed when we look at the pictures.

[modula id = ”100216 ″]

Ratchada Night Market

Another highlight and a definite recommendation for every Bangkok visitor is the Ratchada Night Market. A place with a couple of little Lambretta shops, lots of vintage car shops, vintage things and clothes. Cafes, bars, including an old American gas station (dismantled, moved over and reassembled in the US) and loads of other things to see, eat and drink.

Hose 3.00 10

Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe Tube 3.00 x 10 bgm PRO

With the new bgm PRO hoses, we decided in favor of one better quality and higher security for a very high buty content and therefore for a own tube size for tires up to 3.00-10 and 90 / 90-10 = Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe .

Other hoses with a lower butyl content have more flexibility due to a higher rubber content. This allows you to serve a larger range of possible tire sizes (up to 130 / 90-10), but the major disadvantage is poorer airtightness and puncture resistance.

 

Our bgm PRO hoses are made according to our specifications especially for the needs of Vespa and Lambretta scooters manufactured. Of the Butyl content is over 55%, that makes them extremely airtight and absolutely reliable. The high butyl content makes the hose more expensive to produce, but the result justifies the effort! Nevertheless, we offer this high-quality hose at a great price:

Assembly instructions assembly Assemble tube and tire

TIP: Our bgm PRO scooter tubes can be used in many vehicles with 10-inch tubular tires. When assembling, insert the tire on the bead with assembly paste and dust the inside of the tire with talcum powder. 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. Instructions for installing Vespa tires

Lambretta exhaust test Big Box Reso racing exhaust

Lambretta resonance exhaust and Big Box prototype test

A Lambretta exhaust test: the new and upcoming Lambretta Big Box is currently in production. A delivery date is unfortunately still unknown.

The Lambretta exhaust systems in the test

Before we sent the final sample to Spain, the new box was put through its paces again. Lambretta exhaust test: Another prototype box from our friend Chalky from Replay Scooters and JPP  came directly to the test bench:

  • bgm PRO BigBox Proto
  • JPP box prototype

The following resonance racing exhaust systems competed against the pits:

  • the TSR Evo,
  • the JL3 and
  • in MB3

And all three Reso systems did better against the speakers than we would have expected!

The Lambretta engine

The test engine was constructed as follows:

 

Result & conclusion of the test

Nice and clear to see how good the box is from the start Performancebut also with plenty of torque scores in comparison to the 'racing exhaust systems'.

This is exactly what makes the bgm PRO boxes so nice to drive. There is always enough power available without having to struggle with gear connection problems or having to turn the gas like crazy to get things going.

The moderate consumption values ​​of the engine concepts with the bgm boxes are another advantage, apart from the original look and the pleasant background noise. Another outstanding feature is the protected fastening system with adjustment options in both horizontal and vertical directions. This allows tolerances and, above all, spacers used to be compensated for different strokes and connecting rod lengths.

Lambretta Lui test stand

The boss has come up with something: Lambretta Lui dyno days!

From the very beginning - since 1992 - the Lambretta has been a fixture in our company Scooter Center. Much has changed in almost three decades. In the 90s it was mainly the GP and, if necessary, other Series 3 models, now the entire range is available from Series 1 and 2, the cardan models and right up to the Lambretta 'Smallframes' * more popular than ever.

 

Grade the small Lambrettas with 50 cc displacement were until the appearance of the 75 Casa Lambretta cylinder Completely useless at the beginning of 2009 due to the extremely modest driving performance.

CASA LAMBRETTA 75 cc- Lambretta Lui 50 cylinders

Ulfs Lui Lambrettas put to the test

We took the soft lockdown as an opportunity to put part of Ulf's Lui collection through its paces. We were particularly interested in how the 75 cc Casa cylinder against the original Innocenti 75 cc beats.

And were surprised at how good it was 75 cc aluminum cylinder with Nikasil coating.

Im Performance chart In the blue corner you can see a completely original lui 50 C. The performance curve with 2,1 HP "peak" performance you unfortunately have to look for at the height of the torque curve of the two 75s.

The green curve with 4,5 HP at around 5.500 rpm was delivered by an original Vega with an SH20 carburetor.

The red curve is a 75 series Casa engine. The cylinder was fired with the 15 SHA carburetor kit (main nozzle 68). A special feature of the engine is the exhaust of the 75 models, which is unfortunately not available and is very popular.

The LUI motor has been assembled with the help of this configurator:

25Y Lambretta Club Stockholm

25 years of the Lambretta Club Stockholm

From September 5th to 6th, our friends and long-term customers of the Lambretta Club Stockholm celebrated their 25th anniversary. Due to the Covid restrictions, the anniversary has become an internal club event.

The program included:

  • Meet and start in Stockholm
  • Ride-out with lunch
  • Competitions (slow race, gymkhana, best lambretta)
  • Dinner by the water in the old gunpowder house "Kruthuset"
  • prize-giving
  • 4 DJs and Northern Soul music from 21pm until late

Scooter Center and Casa Lambretta it was an honor to contribute greetings in the form of things for the goodie bags.

We were even more happy about the pictures of how friends have the time of their lives and celebrate themselves and the Lambretta.

 

Lambretta ignition BGM PRO

The Lambretta ignition

The bgm PRO Lambretta ignition was one of the first of our bgm products. The latest version 4.5 with silicone cable is now available: bgm PRO ignition base plate

The first sample of the ignition base plates was presented at our stand at the Eurolambretta'07 in Neckarsulm. The base plate of our ignitions is based on the electronic ignition that was introduced in 1970 with the Lambretta dl 200 electronic. This Innocenti stator plate was later “adapted” by Piaggio for the Vespa. This type of ignition is probably the most widespread model.

In direct comparison, the bgm PRO ignition base plate gives an extreme stable spark and one thanks to the optimized number of turns and cabling maximum light output.

New ignitions for Vespa and Lambretta from bgm PRO with silicone cable

bgm PRO Lambretta base plate 4.5

With version 4.5 of the Lambretta ignition base plate, good things get even better. The good and proven properties of our ignition remain and have been optimized in many small details:

  • 120W strong light output thanks to the maximum number of windings
  • Proven excitation coil with copper plate for maximum reliability
  • Pickup with a carbon barrier layer for a clean ignition pulse
  • Neatly processed light coils
  • High quality solder joints
  • Gray and black bougier tube

Bench bgm PRO Lambretta Lui

Little Lambretta really big

The LUI was intended to anticipate 21st century design. Compared to all other previously built scooters, the design is significantly slimmed down and reduced. The implementation of this idea was in the hands of the Bertone design studio. With the LUI and Verga series, Bertone created a really avant-garde design. To this day, LUI and Vega look as fresh as they did in the spring of 1968, when with the slogan "All for Lui, and Lui for all”Was advertised. Only the performance of the LUI with a 50 cc engine is indicated (and rarely achieved in reality) 38 km / h below expectations.

At the latest since completely new possibilities in the tuning sky through the Casa Performance parts The small Lambretta models J, Lui, Vega and Cometa enjoy great popularity.
