Ignition "Road Classic" - 12 V / 110 W, AC - impeller in original look (cast aluminum) for Vespa Largeframe

12 V to 110 W Bright light even when idling Contactless & maintenance-free Static ignition timing AC ex works, DC possible Pole wheel + fan ~1,740 g Cast aluminum in original look Made in Europe (VAPE)

Highlights

The Road Classic modernizes your Largeframe with the reliability of VAPE electronics, but remains visually as close to stock as possible: the fan ring and ignition base plate are made of cast aluminium and look just like they did ex works. Contactless, bright light even at idle and superior starting - even with engines with increased power.

Quality & original look

  • Cast aluminum (fan guard & base plate) with a classic look - perfect for restorations.
  • One-piece, precisely balanced pole wheel for exact concentricity and low vibrations.
  • Perfectly tuned flywheel mass (~1,740 g): smooth idling, clean throttle response.
  • All ignition components are based on proven VAPE technology.
  • Optional: Regulator/electronics available in original-look housings (not from VAPE production) if the look is desired down to the last detail.

Conversion from contact ignition

The Road Classic completely replaces the contact ignition. Powerful permanent magnets deliver high ignition current and up to 110 W light output - no contact or capacitor service required.

AC or DC on-board power supply

AC ex works; conversion to DC is possible with a suitable regulator/rectifier (ground-free stator). With DC, the battery supplies all consumers - power even without the engine running (ideal for powerful headlights/USB/LED).

Ignition timing

supplied with static ZZP - practical for most 2-stroke road concepts. A dynamic CDI is available as an option.

Installation & ignition adjustment

Simple installation at original points. Adjustment marks facilitate positioning; checking with a flashlight recommended. Ground points bare/tight; retighten screws after 50-100 km.

Pole wheel & fan wheel

  • Cast aluminum fan in standard look, one-piece pole wheel (precisely balanced).
  • Single-slot mounting prevents incorrect installation.
  • Optimized blade geometry for high cooling performance with mass inertia suitable for everyday use.

Wiring harness note (mandatory for old systems)

Older large frames often use decentralized self-regulating alternators (coils directly connected to consumers). The Road Classic (like VAPE in general) works centrally via a main power cable to the regulator - a suitable wiring harness is required for this. At the same time, new cables avoid corrosion transition resistances. Suitable conversion wiring harnesses are available.

Scope of delivery

Ignition base platePre-assembled (cast aluminum base plate in series look)
CDIStatic ignition timing
Pole wheelone-piece, precisely balanced, single groove to prevent incorrect assembly
Fan wheelCast aluminium, original look, optimized blades
Voltage regulatorAC regulator (DC optional)
Screw setincl. mounting material

Note: Engine-specific CDI holder not included (see accessories).

The markings allow the basic setting without a stroboscope; a check with a flash lamp is recommended.
AC is simple and robust. DC supplies power from the battery even when stationary - ideal for powerful headlights/USB/LEDs. The Road Classic can be converted to DC using a regulator/rectifier (note the wiring harness).
Yes. The cast aluminum fan guard and cast base plate correspond to the classic surface. If you want to go one step further, you can optionally use the original-look controller/electronics housing (not from VAPE production).

Note: A very good ground connection is essential for long-term trouble-free operation.
