Vintage Vespa Conversion Kits and Swingarms

[bernietime]

I have been happily converting vintage Vespas to electric over the past year and a half now. I think the total is now at 5 converted--not to mention the 2 Vespa-realted Apes (tuktuks) that I have converted.

A couple of people have reached out asking for custom swingarms for their electric conversions. I thought I would make a post summarizing what I do!

I have swingarms designed and ready for any vintage smallframe or largeframe Vespa. The Ideal motor to use is the QS motor 4000w 10" hub motor.


I have also made custom swingarms for various other scooters undergoing EV conversions such as a Yamaha Zuma and Honda Elite CH80.

If you want a swingarm, let me know! I am in California but can ship anywhere in the US. Cheers

Another one finished and out the door! Here's a funny picture of the back half of a large frame Vespa in the trunk of a Prius. I use this half of a Vespa to test fit every swing arm I make. I have a similar set up for small frame and wide frame Vespas.

Hey Bernietime! I have a 2004 ET2, do you have a swingarm that works for that model?

Hi, I'm curious how would I reach out to you if I wanted to inquire about buying a custom swing arm?
