On Saturday, December 5th, the Scooter Center the Düsseldorfer created their own Open Day to roll off. With a slimmed-down program of the Open Days, things got down to business in a much more intimate setting. The weather god played along this time and the sun was already shining at 9 o'clock when it was time to leave Düsseldorf. The mild temperatures of around 10 ° could have been a bit higher.
Speaking of failure: the grill in the Scooter Center unfortunately smoked that morning and a completely new way of preparing Bavarian veal sausages in a hot water bath was used. Revolutionary! After a first refreshment, the gasoline talk was continued with a short tour of the camp. And an order process was run through theoretically.
So that this becomes a day that is not too theoretical, the test bench was then put into operation. In this way, it was possible to test the recent changes in engine concepts and put them on paper. And there were some nice engines there.
All in all, it was a super fun day, which unfortunately was over much too quickly!
Vespa Smallframe with Polini cylinder over 20HP
Today our customer John was again with his Vespa Smallframe on our Scooter Center Test bench.
More power for the Vespa
During his last visit, he asked us what changes he could still make to his engine in order to find a little more power.
After we had briefly discussed what its current setup looks like, we were actually able to give some pointers through which more top performance can be obtained.
Motor setup
Basically, the engine is equipped with a Polini Evo cylinder, a 54 bgm crankshaft. The 30th Mikuni TMX carburetor is attached to an MRP suction device. The very best prerequisites to become a clear Ü20 unit.
With an additional processing of the outlet and the conversion of the Polini membrane to 2 flaps, the following result comes out:
With Kytronic even better
Due to the larger outlet area, the exhaust can work much better. The small loss at 6500rpm is unfortunately due to the missing Kytronic. In the current state (red curve), a standard PK ignition system provides a ZZP of 18 ° before TDC. their service. With the Kytronic it is certainly possible to shift the red curve back to the left at 200 rpm, in the direction of the performance that starts earlier.
But all in all a nice number - have fun with it on the street!
(AS)
35PS and 34NM to start with
About 235ccm on one CNC motor housing are also more of an exception to the test for us.
Few enthusiasts dare to take on such a financial and mechanical challenge. The outwardly rather inconspicuous, silver Vespa PX, hides the technical eye-catcher under the right hood.
The engine, carved out of solid aluminum, is manufactured with a sufficiently large membrane intake manifold.
The crankcase is filled by a 38 Keihin Airstriker in a very short and direct way.
Gearbox is designed for over 50HP
The valuable filling from the crankcase is then transported into a Simonini cylinder borrowed from aircraft engine construction during the flushing process. The 70mm bore results in 235ccm on this engine!
The gearbox of this Vespa PX200, actually 235, is of course not off the shelf either. The company KR-Automation has reached into buttons and developed a very elaborately manufactured Vespa gearbox that can withstand a power of over 50HP over the long term.
Here are the inner values
At the moment “only” 35HP and 34Nm are pulling on the main shaft.
However, as the owner credibly assured us, this will be further optimized and we will soon meet again on the test bench to look for more horses.
We are very curious!
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.

Last year celebrated one of the oldest, largest and most popular scooter events celebrating its 20th birthday: The SCOOTER DIVE. You can find more information here: www.carssuck.de
The Vespa T5 feiert this year her 25th and that SCOOTER CENTER feiert already be next year 20th anniversary.
Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate! - that will also be the motto of the 21st Scooter Dives. This year with a new, well-known location: Leerodt Castle ruins near Aachen.
15-17. July 2011 - it already starts today. Our tip! Mandatory date.
The SCOOTER CENTER is on site with the test bench.
For the third time we visited our friends from scoothole (the French GSF) with whom an ESC run will be held in Mirecourt / France this year.
As usual we had it SCOOTER CENTER Test bench here and arrived at the racetrack this year even in the most wonderful weather.
Some had used the bridge day and had already arrived on Thursday in order to have enough preparation time on the track for the races on Saturday.
The event was again very well organized, the ambience wonderful and in my eyes one of the most beautiful but also a very exhausting route of the ESC.
On Saturday the sun was shining all day and luckily nothing worse happened for the rest of the day except for a violent collision.
The starting field was the largest since the ESC was founded and with around 150 starters France, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands a colorful mix to it.
Dennis drove his Polini EVO with 51 Polini rotary valve shaft & Franz exhaust.
Alex ditto with Polini EVO with 51 Mazzucelli shaft and 105 BGM connecting rod, membrane intake manifold & fire magic exhaust.
Torsten the Parmakit W Force with 54 BGM wave & Big Bertha exhaust.
All three racing scooters are with the MMW Hartz 4 coupling equipped and one Vespatronic.
We started this year for the first time in the ESC in classes 1 & 2 and were very satisfied with our results.
Fortunately, the bad weather only moved over the kart track towards evening and so we could go home on Saturday evening with a clear conscience.
Thanks again to our sponsors!
The results can be seen on the ESC page -> http://www.eurochallenge.de/ and we are looking forward to Liedolsheim (RUN & RACE)!
In this sense: you see each other / on the route
