The VAPE 12-volt system modernizes classic large-frame Vespas: contactless ignition, powerful light even at idle and superior cold start. High-quality materials, precise manufacturing and 100% functional testing ensure long-lasting reliability - even with more powerful engines.
Laser-marked components for clear identification. Pole wheel and fan wheel are precisely balanced; the CNC-machined fan wheel delivers high cooling performance with a stable flywheel mass.
VAPE completely replaces the contact ignition and includes a powerful 12 V alternator. Powerful permanent magnets provide high ignition current and bright light even when idling - no need for contact and capacitor service.
AC ex works; can be converted to DC by replacing the regulator (floating stator). With DC, the battery supplies all consumers - power even without the engine running (ideal for powerful headlights/USB).
Supplied with CDI for static ZZP - suitable for most 2-stroke street concepts. A dynamically adjusting CDI is available as an option.
Simple installation at original points - without "flashing". Markings facilitate positioning. Tension-free installation, clean ground points; retighten screws after 50-100 km.
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.
Old large-frame models often use decentralized self-regulating alternators (coils individually connected to consumers). VAPE works centrally via a main power cable to the regulator - this requires a suitable wiring harness. In addition, old cables often have increased contact resistance (corrosion). Suitable conversion wiring harnesses are available.
