Ignition SIP PERFORMANCE by VAPE Road 12V AC - Vespa GS150 Wideframe (VS1T to VS5T)

The SIP PERFORMANCE by VAPE is a modern electronic ignition for the Vespa GS150 Wideframe. In the Road version, it works with static (fixed) ignition timing and supplies 12V alternating current (AC) at 110 W. The result: significantly more stable on-board voltage and, in practice, bright light even at low engine speedsas well as a setup suitable for everyday use without the typical weaknesses of the old 6V system.

Character and area of application

Electronic ignition for Vespa 150 GS Wideframe (VS1T to VS5T).
12V AC supply for lights and consumers (alternating current) with matching regulator.
Road version with fixed ignition timing as with the original principle.
110 W electrical power, practically designed for everyday lighting.
Thanks to the cleanly tuned flywheel mass, the engine responds better to the throttle and has a more harmonious overall effect.

Construction and details

Pole wheel: approx. 1620 g (with fan ring mount).
Stator: 9 coils.
Rotor: 12 magnets.
One-piece pole wheel: precise balancing and exact concentricity, resulting in less vibration and less bearing stress.
Markings: Ignition timing is marked on the pole wheel and on the base plate, adjustment is also possible without flashing (TDC must be determined cleanly).
Pickup arrangement: less sensitive to lateral misalignment due to tolerances on the housing, shaft or base plate.

Conversion note: wiring harness, regulator, consumer

The system is designed as a 12V AC system. For a clean conversion, the electrical system is wired to match the controller and the 12V consumers. In practice, this often means for wideframe models: new wiring harness instead of continuing to use the old 6V wiring.

Original wiring harness: mostly old and brittle, also not designed for the centralized controller concept.
Recommendation: New wiring with 12V lamps and clean ground routing.
Result: fewer sources of error, constant starting behavior and stable on-board voltage.

Note: The original fan guard is used. Alternatively, CNC fan rings are available as accessories.

Note: For wideframe engines, it is worth checking the cone, feather key and fit of the pole wheel and base plate. Set the ignition timing according to the specification and then flash it or check it using a marker and a cleanly determined TDC.

Installation instructions

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about the SIP PERFORMANCE by VAPE Road 12V AC (GS150)

As a rule, this is not advisable. For 12V AC with a regulator and adapted consumers, rewiring is often the cleanest way. Especially with wideframe models, the old wiring harness is often dilapidated and not designed for the regulator concept.
The ignition timing is set to a fixed value and then remains constant. This is simple, robust and close to the original principle. It is important to make a clean basic setting during installation.
There are markings on the pole wheel and base plate that allow adjustment even without a strobe. Nevertheless, flashing is recommended as a check if possible.

Conclusion

The SIP PERFORMANCE by VAPE Road 12V AC is an ignition suitable for everyday use for the Vespa GS150 Wideframe (VS1T to VS5T) with 110 W and static ignition timing. The one-piece pole wheel ensures smooth running, the power provides bright light in practice even at low engine speeds. For a harmonious result, the electrical system is usually rebuilt, ideally with a new wiring harness and 12V consumers.
