Scooter Center at the Intermot 2014
To give you the most interesting news of the Intermot 2014 To present, we tried to get press tickets this year and were able to go to the fair on Tuesday.
Our route naturally led us directly to Hall 7, where Piaggio set up its stand. On the way there we passed the Suzuki booth and we immediately saw a nice study, ok, ok, not a scooter, but since we all have gasoline in our blood, we were also enthusiastic about it.
The Piaggio Vespa stand
Piaggio presented itself on the front with Moto Guzzi and Aprilia and hid the Vespa on the back of the stand. Even if only a few vehicles such as the Vespa 946 or the new Vespa Sprint were presented, the stand was very nicely arranged and we liked it straight away.
Also interesting were small details like the bag for the passage in the style of a spare wheel - we are excited about the prices and will of course also include them in the program.
Scomadi - A modern classic
Right next to Piaggio we were initially surprised - a new name but an "old" look: Scomadi!
For weeks, hotly debated in various Internet forums, we were able to take a look at the scooters that are based on the design of the Lambretta GP / DL.
The 50ccm and 125ccm vehicles have the well-known China 4-stroke engines that can be found in pretty much all China scooters at the moment. It gets interesting with the 300ccm model - here the well-known 300ccm engine of the Vespa GTS is installed!
Paul Melici - PM Tuning
The air scoop in the picture, which houses the radiator, is exchanged for a GFK spoiler, the exhaust is optional and is made by Paul Melici from the English tuning company "PM-Tuning". And that was also the first surprise of the day, Paul was there himself and clarified the background of the Scomadi project, which he was instrumental in initiating.
He also presented us his new exhaust systems in the style of a Reso exhaust for the 300ccm Piaggio 4-stroke engines and his new ones Brake calipers for the Vespa PX disc brakes (Already available from us in silver and black) These will soon also be available for the GTS models.
BELL - helmets
Our next stop in Hall 7 was the “BELL” stand. Bell helmets are known for high-quality helmets for bicycles and motorcycles. Since this year will be
BELL helmets finally sold again in Germany and we are proud to be one of the first shops to offer BELL helmets.
We became aware of BELL through their "Custom 500" and "Bullit" models, which BELL manufactures based on original templates from the 60s and 70s: "Not retro. Original."
All helmets have ECE standards, there are 5 different outer shells and the helmets are of the highest quality.
John Wayne drives Vespa?
When strolling through the halls, we still have this "beautiful copy ” noticed:
Somehow it sounds familiar….
We'll be back on Thursday to keep you up to date.
