Steering columns & engine swing arm pivots for maxi scooters
- at SIP Scootershop
Steering columns, forks, head tubes - everything your handlebar heart desires. Steering columns are the link between tyres and handlebars on maxi scooters. They allow the chassis and brake to be retrofitted. Spare and wear parts for the steering column and engine swing arm pivot are essential for perfect riding comfort. For example, steering columns of older models are often bent, rusted or warped. If you have poor straight-line stability or spongy handling, we recommend checking the upper and lower steering head bearings.

Steering head bearings & swingarm bearings
The bearing sets for the steering head and the suspension arm need to be replaced regularly. They wear out over time or fail, resulting in an unsafe riding experience. Tapered roller bearings can absorb higher forces and run more easily under pressure.
Steering columns & forks
Steering control tubes or forks are the connection between the handlebars and the rim. As a standard replacement part, they come mainly from OEM manufacturers. Reinforced forks are an essential part of chassis improvement. The standard forks are usually too weak and tend to sag.
Steering Dampers, Anti-Dive Systems & Engine Swing Arm Pivots
Engine swing arm pivots stabilise the existing chassis. Anti-dive kits prevent the shock absorbers from bottoming out, especially on smallframe Vespas. Steering dampers are mainly used in quartermile racing.
Rubber engine mounting bushes Engine swing arm pivot
Rubber engine mounting bushes reduce vibrations transmitted to the frame and are crucial for good handling. If you ride your scooter a lot, like to take curves often or put a lot of weight on it, you should definitely replace the rubber engine mounting bushes regularly. This goes without saying for racing scooters. Everyday riders will be amazed at how pleasant new rubber engine mounting bushes are to ride.

Customers ask - SIP answers
"When will I realise that my engine seal rubbers need to be replaced?"
Over time, the rubbers become porous and lose their damping properties. If the chassis feels particularly hard or spongy, this is an indication of worn rubber engine mounting bushes. Worn rubber engine mounting bushes can also be recognised visually. If they look particularly porous, develop cracks or even dissolve by themselves, the rubbers should be replaced.
