This VAPE ROAD ignition system is consistently designed for the Vespa T5 platform. It fits exclusively on Vespa T5 (VNX5T) and Motovespa T5 Sport and is also compatible with the large-volume Pinasco 251/260 engines, which use the T5 ignition layout due to their design (large transfer ports / separate ignition carrier). The system is not suitable for PX/large-frame models outside the T5 family.
Stable ignition current and strong light output: 9-coil stator and 12-magnet pole wheel deliver up to 110 W at speed. The precise road set-up with static ignition timing ensures clean throttle response, reliable starting behaviour and robust running characteristics across the entire speed range - ideal from sporty road use to powerful T5 tuning concepts (incl. Pinasco 251/260).
Plug-and-play on T5 mount. AC ex works, can be converted to DC by replacing the regulator (ungrounded stator). Please install stress-free, make ground points metallically bright and retighten screw connections after 50-100 km.
| Model | Type/Note |
|---|---|
| Vespa 125 T5 | VNX5T - exclusive T5 ignition layout (mount/geometry) |
Note: Not for PX 125/150/200 (VNX/VLX/VSX etc.). T5 mount only!
| Model / Engine | Type/Note |
|---|---|
| Motovespa T5 Sport 125 | Spanish T5 variant with T5 ignition layout (compatible) |
| Pinasco 251 | Large-volume T5 base engine - uses T5 ignition |
| Pinasco 260 | Large-volume T5 base engine - uses T5 ignition |
Note: Pinasco 251/260 require the T5 ignition layout due to the large transfer ports and the different carrier geometry.

T5 models have an electronic wiring system ex works; conversion is usually plug-and-play. When converting to DC, cable cross-sections, earth points and battery routing must be adapted. As a general rule: perfect earth connections are essential for trouble-free operation.
Note: Correct earth points (bare/corrosion-free) are essential for permanent, trouble-free operation.
