We have a new test bench!

You're going to love it: It still looks quite empty in the photo below, but everything will be ready by the time you arrive. As always, our new Ammerschläger P4 dynamometer with eddy current brake will be available to you on Open Day. This enables precise measurements and optimization of the engine performance of your Vespa or Lambretta. Mopeds can of course also be tested. We have also spruced up the entire room. We expect a day full of curves on the machine.

But please be patient: The crowds are huge every time, so you can expect to wait quite a while.

PS4 coming soon

Exhibitors Open Day Sept. 2025

Our top exhibitors include old acquaintances from our Scooterist Weekender celebrating our 30th anniversary. Here is a selection of the participants confirmed so far:


Pinasco+Nisa


Made in Italy in a double pack: Pinasco and Nisa present as already at the Scooterist Weekender the latest highlights of their product range together on one stand.

Pinasco is legendary for its first-class tuning components such as cylinder kits, crankshafts and ignitions, which are developed for almost all Vespa models from Wideframe to PX.

Nisa complements this with innovative and stylish seat benches for classic and modern scooters. Colorful and modern or in elegant vintage style, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone.

Powerful engines are concealed under the slim side covers. You can test various scooters from the brand for yourself during a test ride on the Open Day. Our friend Sigi from Austria will also be there with his bgm Royal Alloy demonstrator. You can find even more information about the young English scooter lady on the Facebook page of Royal Alloy Germany.

prosimo

If you don't want to do without the classic shape of your old Vespa, but still want to be on the road without any two-stroke torture, you should visit the prosimo stand. How does such a classic e-scooter ride? Just try it out for yourself! You can also test ride a few of prosimo's e-treasures at the Open Day.

Gori Lambretta Tuning

Gori Elaborazioni, a household name in Italian Lambretta tuning since 1958, is a guest at the Open Day for the first time. The company started out in a small workshop in Florence and led Scuderia Gori to numerous racing victories in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, Gori combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. You can find cylinder kits, exhaust systems, auxiliary shafts and the legendary Gori seat in our store.

Seat doctor

Seat bench worries? Then come to the seat doctor! The specialist for restoring or reupholstering Vespa and Lambretta benches offers tailor-made solutions for every problem. With precision craftsmanship, he combines a true-to-original look with the highest standards of comfort.

Sheet metal room

Blechraum stands for pure sheet metal magic. And for vast amounts of experience and a feel for sheet metal, cultural assets and patina. At his stand at the Open Day, Marc Schaffnit and his colleagues will be demonstrating everything from restoration to accident repairs on O-Lack boxes.

Super Lui

Super Lui Tom is an expert for Lambretta and especially for the Lui models. He offers tuning solutions and conversions for them. Perhaps his biggest coup is the SuperLui engine housing. It fits the suspension of all Lui models and can be combined with all engine components of the Lui family. It's a pretty ingenious solution that combines performance, durability and an incredible variety of parts.

The last time Tom came all the way from South Tyrol, he brought a Lui with Mugello 225 cylinder, 30 PHBH carburetor and box exhaust. And anyone who asked nicely was even allowed to ride it. We are still hoping that Tom will bring his own Dexter Tuning stand as well as scooters and parts.

Z Design

The custom scooters from Z-Design aka Michael Zinnen are legendary, and the Aachen-based company will be traveling from Aachen on Saturday together with Markus André Mayer.

The book provides exciting insights into the fascination with two-stroke scooters and is a must-have for Vespa fans. You can find even more details on his blog Gentleman's Giro.
