That was the Scooter Center Open Day 23.09.23

Thuesday 26 September, 2023

Our second #OpenDaySC this year was actually planned as a small end-of-season event. (see Open Day April here) Fortunately, with the sun still shining beautifully, there was no end to the season.

In addition to our Open Day classics such as the free use of the test stand, the large private and SC parts market, there were also some new program items.

Vespa V98

This Vespa V98 was at the Open Day for the second time and on its own wheels. When have you ever seen that before? And then almost in the wild...

The Vespa 98 was the first mass-produced Vespa from Piaggio. It was built between 1946 and 1947 and is divided into four model series: V.98/1 and V.98/2 and from 1947 V.98/3 and V.98/4, although the modifications were insignificant. The V98 has an engine with a displacement of 98 cm³, a three-speed gearbox and a top speed of 60 km/h. The leg shield is evenly curved. There is no main stand and it is leaned on an outrigger for parking, which protrudes from the rear footboard on the left and right.

Veybach Racing - Custompaint Ciao

One of the many highlights was the premiere of Dirk Hövelmann's Ciao, who tells us:

"Only with the support of the whole team, (my business partners @pulverdesigngibesch, @hapebikes, @scootercenter and my friend @rolfbubmann ) the project could finally be presented on time for #OpenDaySC!"

All the details will follow soon here on the blog!

SC Program

bgm team

The bgm team was on hand all day to answer questions about new products and developments. And not only about our own brand, but also about the latest highlights, such as the VMC 244, the vape ignitions, the bgm Big Box exhaust bellows and much more.

Photo box

Around 50 classic bikes and their riders gathered in the photo box. The majority - as expected - Vespas. Followed by 12 Piaggio mopeds, four automatics, four mopeds, three Lambretta and two Royal Alloy. All of them are presented in detail in the blog and the pictures are available for download.

Photo box in the Scooterist Weekender

Test stand

Things were similarly lively on the test bench. Ar and Roland made their debut in the role of P4 operators and did a great job. Over 50 runs in 5 hours led to ringing ears despite everything.

The most powerful Vespa was delivered by Basti (Bastian Koch) with his BFA360-powered VNB: 56 hp!
Meisi (Marc Meis) parked the most powerful Lambretta on the roll. Marc rebuilt a Targa-Twin from scratch with the components of his choice and delivered 40 hp.

The most powerful Ciao delivered a good 10 hp and came from René Klein.

Merchandising stand

The SC merchandise stand and the photo box have been carried over from last year's Scooterist Weekender as permanent fixtures for the upcoming Open Days.

Our new #RealScooterist shirts and, of course, the posters were very popular merchandise items. Part of the proceeds will go to "Um halb an der Bar". Greetings to Everell!
