Raphael Knespel from Parkstetten near Straubing is behind the brand "He who loves, pushes". What started out as a specialist workshop for old manual Vespas is now an established name for restorations, special conversions and racing. In his sales hall with adjoining bistro, everything revolves around Italian sheet metal, petrol talk and technical perfection.
Hardcore test on the cement track
Raphael is not only a mechanic, but also an organizer and participant in the infamous cement track race. Anyone who rides old Vespas at the limit on concrete tracks quickly learns where the weak points of classic technology lie. This experience flows directly into the development and selection of his products. If a component can withstand the vibrations and stresses of the racetrack, it is definitely ready for your everyday life on the road.

The range from "Wer liebt der schiebt" here at Scooter Center is the result of years of practical experience. Instead of theoretical gimmicks, here you get solutions that work.

Everything from a single source: workshop, sales and culture
In addition to product development, Raphael runs one of the top addresses for vintage Vespas in Lower Bavaria. His concept combines a professional specialist workshop (focusing on manual transmission & O-lacquer) with a meeting place for fans. In the "Hubertushalle", customer vehicles are sold on commission, while the next ride is planned in the bistro. With the products from "Wer liebt der schiebt", you can get a piece of this authentic screwdriver expertise directly on your scooter.
