What is "UM HALF AT THE BAR"?
In 2015, horror news shook the German scooter scene: Markus R. was killed in a wildlife accident on his Vespa, leaving behind his wife and newborn child. The scooter scene spontaneously organized a fundraiser for his wife and daughter. Vespa and Lambretta friends helped quickly and unbureaucratically.
A tragedy that can suddenly strike anyone through no fault of their own. Over time, several more scooter riders had accidents. Some will never again be "AT HALF THE BAR"...
A well-known slogan in the scooter scene that leaves open an exact time to arrive at a scooter run or niter and meet up with friends and like-minded people on the spot.
The Scooter Center team was immediately on fire with the idea of helping the association. So he spontaneously entered into a sponsorship and Scooter Center now supports the association "UM HALB AN DER BAR" with its infrastructure such as logistics, online store, payment systems and store sales and also passes on 100% of all proceeds directly to the organization.
With the purchase of "UM HALB AN DER BAR" products you can support the organization in its work!

Northern Soul Fist - symbol of the Northern Soul scene
The Black Fist has its origins in the USA, as a symbol of the resistance of the African-American population during the independence movement of the 60s and 70s.
Black gloves were also worn by Northern Soul dancers in the 70s during their acrobatic moves on the dance floor. Black leather gloves for scootering were also very popular with the mods. So it became a distinguishing mark for Northern Soul events and a symbol of the scene. It quickly adorned posters and flyers for events as well as patches on the bags and jackets of followers of this youth movement. To this day, it is a symbol for Northern Soul lovers and is therefore also very popular among scooter riders.
