SLUK Racing – Vespa SS90 revived for Whilton Mill 6-hour | FEATURE
Battered but unbeaten in Road class – Underdog moves up to Race class… We’ve done too well really, and now we must pay the price. SLUK has been the only team to win their class two times, and according to British Scooter Endurance Club’s rules, we now get ‘upgraded’ from the Road class to […]
EXCLUSIVE – Lambretta GT300 review and video | ROAD TEST
The point of the water-cooled GT300 Rotax motor – Eden explained – was to build a Lambretta engine that would hold 80mph for hour after hour. Even in my short stint on the motorway it was clear after a couple of junctions that Gran Turismo had hit their target. What’s more, they’ve done it […]
Missing Scarborough? Col takes a SLUK back | FEATURE
For the second successive year, many of us are getting to find out what normal people do on Easter weekends. Staying at home seems to be the done thing so I’m not sure normal is a good state to be in. We’d usually be thrashing our scooters to the East Coast resort of Scarborough. Sadly, […]
World first? Vespa GTX 300 | FEATURE
As a classic scooter enthusiast, I can’t help but thinking that Piaggio have really missed out by not capitalising on their rich back catalogue of timeless Vespa designs. Retro scooters sell by the container load – if it looks faintly like a 1960s classic but has modern running gear and somewhere to plug your hair […]
Fancy a new Vespa T5 Classic? | FEATURE
December 1987 saw me riding away from Norrie Kerr on the back wheel (literally) of a new Vespa T5. It was my 17th Birthday. I was on board a brand-new red, E reg, squaretail mark 1. I also had a large direct debit set up every month to pay the hire purchase and it […]
BREXIT: All you need to know about buying and selling | FEATURE
Sending and receiving parcels isn’t quite as easy as it used to be… A week or so after we officially left the EU, I wrote a blog on the ScooterNova magazine website outlining some of the changes relating to the buying and selling of scooter parts within the EU that would take place due to […]
New ‘Slip on’ Scorpion Exhausts for Euro 4 & 5 Vespa GTS | FEATURE
Owners of the latest Vespa GTS models will be pleased to know that Scorpion now have an aftermarket ‘slip-on’ exhaust available for the catalysed Euro 5 (and Euro 4) models. This means swapping from a standard exhaust to a Scorpion is literally a five-minute job. Great news for the less mechanically minded – […]

Classic vehicle owners be afraid! E10 fuel in UK pumps by September | FEATURE
European fuel stations already use E10 It’s been announced that UK fuel stations will be moving over to E10 (petrol containing 10% Ethanol) fuel by September THIS YEAR! The move is effectively doubling the current ethanol content of pump fuel and bringing us in line with many parts of Europe. The switch to […]
Vespa Sprint Crank e – an Austrian geared electric conversion | FEATURE
As a teenager, Dr Guido Schwarz was a young Austrian mod who helped his older brother to maintain his Vespa 50 Special. Guido had to wait a few years before buying a scooter of his own, his first was ‘just’ a Piaggio Typhoon. Guido became a scooterist though and bought a Vespa Sprint a couple […]
What’s the outlook for the 2021 BSRA National Rallies? We ask the organisers | FEATURE
As spring fast approaches and the Covid curse still rears its ugly head is there any hope for the rest of this year’s National Rally calendar? We’ve recently heard the first National, Scarborough has been cancelled but what about the rest? Well, we’d like to think there is at least some optimism […]
Home-built Turkish electric PX 2000 | FEATURE
This isn’t the first electric PX we’ve covered on ScooterLab but it is the first home-built one. It comes from Turkish SLUK reader, Burak Kazar and was built to enable him to get to work quickly and efficiently. Burak takes up the story… It all began in the summer of 2018. […]
