Highlights

The VAPE 12-volt AC system modernizes classic large-frame Vespas: contactless ignition, powerful light even when idling and a superior cold start. As an AC variant, the system is deliberately kept simple: no battery required, fewer sources of error, clear wiring via a central controller. High-quality materials, precise manufacturing and 100 percent functional testing ensure lasting reliability - even with more powerful engines.

Quality

Laser-marked components for clear identification. Pole wheel and fan wheel are precisely balanced; the CNC-milled fan wheel delivers high cooling performance with a stable flywheel mass.

Conversion from contact ignition

VAPE completely replaces the contact ignition and includes a powerful 12 V AC alternator. Strong permanent magnets deliver high ignition current and bright light even at idle - contact and capacitor service are no longer required.

AC electrical system (without battery)

This version is designed as 12 V AC. The voltage regulator stabilizes the on-board voltage, lights and consumers are supplied directly from the alternator. This is the simplest and most robust solution for classic large frames: fewer components, fewer contact resistances, no battery management. Note: A DC conversion is possible in principle (ground-free stator), but requires additional components and is not the basic concept here.

Ignition timing

Supplied with CDI for static timing - suitable for most 2-stroke street concepts. A dynamically adjustable CDI is available as an option.

Installation and ignition adjustment

Simple installation at original points - without "flashing". Markings make positioning easier. Install without tension, ground points cleanly; retighten screws after 50-100 km.

Pole wheel and fan wheel

Single-slot mounting prevents incorrect installation. The inertia is defined by the fan wheel; the inertia can be adjusted by changing the fan wheel. Optimized blade geometry for maximum cooling performance.

Wiring harness note (mandatory)

A suitable wiring harness is mandatory for conversion to VAPE. Many large-frame models use decentralized, self-regulating electrics as standard (coils individually connected to consumers). VAPE, on the other hand, works centrally via a main power cable to the voltage regulator.

In addition, original wiring harnesses are often old and dilapidated - increased contact resistances due to corrosion then cause voltage drops, flickering lights or dropouts. A new wiring harness is therefore not just "compatibility", but a real reliability factor.

No. The markings allow adjustment without a strobe; optional rechecking is possible.
AC is the simplest and most robust solution: no battery, fewer components, reliable supply via the controller. DC offers more convenience (light even when stationary, constant for LED/USB), but is more complex and requires additional components. In both cases, the vehicle wiring harness must be adapted or replaced.
This version is designed for models without an electric starter. Please use the appropriate version for electric starters.
Yes. VAPE routes the circuits centrally via the controller (main power line). In many old charge frames, the electrics were decentralized and self-regulating - this is not compatible with the VAPE controller concept. In addition, original wiring harnesses are often old and dilapidated; a new wiring harness reduces contact resistances and is mandatory for a clean conversion.

Note: A very good earth connection is essential for long-lasting, fault-free operation.
