The world of classic scooters thrives on passion, precision and high-quality components. With its current Lambretta project, Scootering magazine has once again proven how to bring an icon of two-wheeler history to life with modern technology. In collaboration with the Scooter Center Cologne, exclusive bgm parts were used to build a Lambretta that technically follows the idea of the original bgm Lambretta engine. Here we would like to present the project and show why bgm parts are the first choice for reliable and frugal Lambretta engines.
In a series spanning several issues, Scootering magazine is devoting itself to a particularly beautiful challenge: building a Lambretta. With the colorful bgm Lambretta Parts World, we were able to provide support and once again asked ourselves what it would have been like if parts and expertise at the level of today had been available thirty years ago?
From planning to completion, the focus was on the quality of the components used and Dan Clare took a very close look at what the bgm parts could do.
The bgm PRO brand developed by us stands for high quality and reliable solutions in Lambretta tuning. For the Scootering project, the standard bgm parts were used, which are specially designed for Lambretta models of the Li family, such as LI, SX, TV, DL and GP. The highlights include:
These components have been carefully selected to make the Lambretta not only more powerful, but also more reliable and durable.
The bgm parts impress with their quality, precision and ease of assembly. Scootering also emphasizes how seamlessly the components can be installed and gives good tips, e.g. for adapting the cylinder cover and exhaust manifold. The combination of modern technology and classic design makes bgm parts ideal for restorations and tuning projects. The fast and high availability paired with very useful support makes screwing even more enjoyable. Things that are essential for ambitious projects like this one.
Thanks to the bgm parts, the Lambretta from Scootering magazine achieves impressive performance values. Tests show that a standard 200cc Lambretta engine with a Clubman exhaust and a 22mm carburetor combination delivers around 9 hp. With the bgm upgrades, the power could be increased significantly. Stay tuned to see how much the RT 195 brings to the rear wheel here.
The bgm PRO parts are developed and extensively tested by us to deliver guaranteed riding pleasure. Scooter Center Cologne, for over 30 years with the Lambretta at heart and the partner at your site with a huge selection of Casa Lambretta, Casa Performance, Jockey's Boxenstop, MB Developments, RLC and of course bgm components. Fast delivery, a user-friendly online store and competent customer service make Scooter Center the first port of call for Lambretta and Vespa fans.
The Scootering magazine Lambretta project shows how bgm parts can help a classic Lambretta achieve performance for today's road traffic with moderate consumption values and perfect reliability. We'll be taking a closer look at all the details of the individual expansion stages shortly.
