Performance Parts Post

By January 11, 2018Comments Off on Performance Parts Post

In the past 25 years, Vespa Motorsport has worked hard to be the premier supplier of scooter parts in the United States. We’ve cultivated a knowledgeable staff, produced helpful videos, hired an incredible research, and development team, and put together the most comprehensive US-based scooter-parts website on the internet.

In addition, because of our position within the US scooter industry, for many customers and scooter dealers we have become the sole authority on performance upgrades and scooter engine components. Because of this, we stand in the unique position of being intimately familiar with most performance product lines.

In fact, we have sold performance components ever since this business began. Very early on, we came to rely on the quality and durability of Malossi products (our primary performance manufacturer), and are also proud purveyors of Polini, Leo Vince, Dr Pulley, PM Tuning, BiTubo, and Akrapovic to name a few.

So why add performance components to your scooter? Performance items are not only designed to add power to your machine, but can also be more durable and work better than original parts. Some performance parts can even improve efficiency and ride, but for most people it’s all about the power gain. Scooters are mostly tuned on the lower end of the power spectrum, so a few well placed components can really wake up the sleeping dragon in any scooter. Besides increasing your power, reliability, and efficiency, some performance items can also enhance your scooters style. Trick add-ons like Shocks, exhaust systems, and carbon fiber bits really take your scooter from ordinary to extraordinary.

We have a large assortment of performance items available at our shop, check out scooterwest.com for more information or stop by and have a chat with our service department about what’s available for your scooter to make it scream.

While you’re on-line take a peek at some of our awesome performance videos that are sure to wake your sleeping dragon.

Scooternomics Argument

By November 14, 2013Comments Off on Scooternomics Argument

People often come to us because they want a really fun scooter to ride around town. You’ll get no argument from us that scooters are fun and practical, but they’re also really affordable to own and owning one makes a lot of economic sense. This article examines the economics of owning a scooter.

Burn Less Gas, Burn Less Ca$h

Most of the scooters in our shop have fuel economies of 70 to 90 miles per gallon. At the lower end, a Vespa GTS 300 will still get around 60 mpg while on the other side a Piaggio Fly 150 will get around 100 mpg. It’s true that scooters can help you save money on gas, because you’re going three to four times the distance per gallon. In other words, someone with an average car and a gas bill of $250 per month can end up spending around $50 per month on a scooter.

Insurance Is Cheap Too

Scooters do not come with the high insurance premiums that cars and motorcycles do, so you can usually get full coverage for a scooter in California for around $200 to $250 per year. Compare that with around $600 to $1000 per year for a car and that’s a significant difference as well.

Maintenance Is Minimal

Maintenance costs of any vehicle are dependent on the model, annual mileage, and age. In comparison to modern cars and motorcycles, scooters are relatively simple machines built from affordable components. Labor time for repairs are much less than similar repairs on a motorcycle or car. Please call our Service Department at 619-280-1718 xt. 605 with any specific questions you might have.

Say Goodbye to Parking Costs

Parking a scooter is pretty easy and scooters can be parked in a variety of locations, which means that you can drive somewhere on a scooter and not have to worry about where you’re going to park! For local college students in San Diego, we’ve heard that parking a scooter versus a car at their local campus ended up saving them around $2,000 per year.

Scooters Make Economic Sense

With all of these facts in mind, one can see that a scooter is a cost-effective and practical way to get around. They’re also really fun too!

How Long do Scooters Last?

By May 24, 2013Comments Off on How Long do Scooters Last?

 

 

Buddy125_Odo

This question is one of the most commonly asked by visitors to our shop.   And it is also one of the toughest to answer.  We have seen recent model Vespas sold within the last several years with as many as 55,000+ miles on the odometer and still climbing!   One local owner of the more diminutive Genuine Buddy 125, has over 41,000+ miles!  These kind of examples have been strictly and lovingly maintained by their owners, and is a testament to how well these little machines perform and deliver if properly maintained and serviced.  That said, we have also seen a few disasters with relatively low miles come through our service department, due to neglect and lack of proper scheduled servicing.  Like so many things, a little preventive care and general maintenance, will go a long way in keeping your scooter running like a top for many years and many miles!
