Smallframe
Luigi - Smallframe enthusiast with heart and hand
Born in Sardinia, Luigi came into contact with Vespas at an early age - he had his first experience at 13 and was allowed to ride smallframes at 14. His passion for the little classics has remained: He has overhauled and perfected countless Engines since then.
As a trained mechanic who has learnt the technology from the ground up, Luigi combines specialist knowledge with genuine dedication. His Special with a Falc 153cc Evolution Cylinder produces an impressive 32 hp, while a second Special with 25 hp serves as a reliable touring vehicle. His fleet includes other smallframes, including PK models - for Luigi, Screws is more than a hobby, it's his passion.
Sven - Smallframe expert and all-rounder
Sven is our versatile all-rounder, particularly adept at small frames. His passion for Gear Pulleys can be seen in his impressive V50 Special, which he built up in 2013 with a Polini 130 Cylinder and a Parmakit Ignition. Active since 1999, his two-wheeler journey began in 1996 with an Italjet Formula 50 cc.
Formerly self-employed in the Vespa sector (2007-2015), Sven has been contributing his experience and enthusiasm to our team since 2015 - a competent contact for Switch and automatic scooters.
Lukas - a smallframe specialist through and through
Lukas discovered his passion for Vespas at the end of the 2010s with a Vespa 50 Rundlicht, built in 1970. After his first rides on a 75 Formula and a SIP Banana, he quickly realised that he needed more power. With a 144 Quattrini, 54 mm Long Stroke Crankshaft, Mamba Exhaust and Silent Silencer, he consistently tuned his Vespa for performance.
As a passionate Screws enthusiast, Lukas spends countless hours in the workshop and knows smallframes inside out. His experience makes him one of our most important specialists for classic Vespas.
Ruben - young talent with racing ambitions
ruben started Screws in 2019, initially on mopeds. Today, he rides a Vespa Special with a 150cc M1L Quattrini Cylinder, which delivers an impressive 26 hp at the rear wheel. He entered the European Scooter Challenge (ESC) in 2024, where he took 2nd place in the last race of the beginner class. In the coming season, he will compete in the K5 single class.
Despite his young age, Ruben has impressive knowledge of the smallframe sector. His quick comprehension and close dialogue with other racers have made him a real expert - a great asset to our team.
Vespa Largeframe
Nico - two-wheel champion and scene veteran
Nico, rider of the legendary "FlaminGo", is a well-known face in the scooter scene. A passionate Screws mechanic and former scooter shop owner in Freiburg since 1996, he brings invaluable experience to our technical support as a master craftsman.
Whether classic scooters such as Vespa and Lambretta or modern Vespa - Nico's expertise is wide-ranging. His experience from acceleration races and countless engine repairs make him a competent contact. And even if he sometimes says: "A Crankcase is a wearing part", he remains a colleague with heart - or as he says himself: one of you.
Max - expert for classic Vespas
Max has been with the company for over 15 years - and, like many of us, has turned his hobby into a profession. He already owned two ready-to-ride PX models at the age of 15, both 80s with 135-DR cylinders, and has been screwing all classic scooters ever since. His Malossi 221 Reed Valve MHR on a reed valve delivers around 30 hp, combined with a SIP Performance Racing Exhaust.
His fleet includes gems such as a VM1, an Acma, a V56, a T4 from Augsburg, a 125 TS, a 200 Rally, a V50 Special and another PX 200. Max has fulfilled a dream with his 40 m² workshop - his private realm for classic Vespas, where he is also happy to welcome colleagues for a beer. Whether electrics, engine technology, chassis or conversions: Max is an all-rounder with in-depth expertise - and an indispensable member of our team.
Angelo - Vespa and Ciao specialist
Angelo's two-wheeler journey began at the age of eight - with a moped for his birthday. When he was 10, he took his brother's 50cc Special and started wrenching on it. His career in the two-wheeler sector reads like a classic: mopeds, Ciao, Superbravo, Hercules - always in keeping with his age. The turning point came when a PX fell into his hands and his passion was finally ignited. Typical of the 90s: Garelli mudguard conversion, Malossi Cylinder, Righthand system - Angelo has experienced it all.
Today, he is our specialist for cylinder tuning, carburettor technology, electrics and restoration. In addition to Vespas, he is also passionate about Piaggio Ciao and other classic two-wheelers, with which he is just as deeply connected.
Roger - master mechanic and specialist for tuning and restoration
Roger first attracted attention in the scooter scene at the end of the 1990s with his "Beck's Scooter", a heavily modified smallframe with an extended frame and T5 conversion to a smallframe block. With 24 hp at the rear wheel, this project was ahead of its time and caused quite a stir in the scene. Privately, Roger has an impressive collection of small and largeframe models, which he looks after with great dedication in his workshop.
As a master mechanic, he has extensive expertise and is a sought-after contact for our customers, especially in tricky cases. His strength lies in cross-model tuning and restoration. With his ability to tailor individual solutions to the skills and needs of each conversion, he makes even the most challenging projects possible.
Christoph - Master technician with a passion for conversions
Christoph bought his first Primavera 125 at the age of 15 and was active in the scooter club scene around Lake Ammersee in the 1990s. Today, he changes his Vespa models depending on his interests - and also rides motorbikes.
As a master vehicle technician, Christoph has many years of experience. Before joining us in 2018, he was a workshop manager in motorbike development. He specialises in vehicles across all classes: Modern Vespa, Lambretta, Largeframe and Smallframe. He has particularly in-depth expertise in the areas of chassis, brakes, carburettor technology and special conversions. If you are planning conversions with third-party engines, special chassis or other customised modifications, Christoph is the right man for the job.
Wideframe
Oliver - Wideframe expert and restoration professional
Oliver is our contact for all wideframe models. He discovered this passion in the mid-2000s and has been an integral part of our team for over 15 years. Privately, he scours Europe's markets in search of OEM parts and rare vehicles, which he restores with great dedication.
Whether it's shift linkages, original gaskets or the smallest differences in wideframes - Oliver knows every detail where others have long since passed. His enthusiasm for the Faro Basso is also evident in his tuning. When it comes to knowledge, Oli is our living Google.
Modern Vespa
Christoph - Modern Vespa specialist and custom professional
With his extensive expertise in 4-stroke engines, Christoph is one of our proven Modern Vespa specialists. Whether tuning or complex conversions - he almost always finds the right solution. No wonder he is a central part of our custom team.
For projects such as the "Something Special" with BFA Engine, the "Pordoi GTS Custom" or the "30 Years Custom Tribute" based on a Vespa Primavera, Christoph not only helped develop the conversions, but also led the team. Many of the components that are now available as standard parts can be traced back to his innovative customised solutions.
Stephan - GTS rider with practical knowledge
Stephan has been part of the SIP team since 2001 and has played a key role in shaping the Modern Vespa range. He has been involved in many Catalogues, introduced new products and manufacturers to the range and driven forward numerous new developments.
His converted GTS with Malossi Cylinder, V4 head, drive tuning and Pordoi style parts shows his passion for modern tuning. Modern Vespa riders benefit from his in-depth practical knowledge and many years of experience. However, his fleet also includes classic Vespa models such as a PX, a Sprint or a Motovespa TX.
Martin on the GTS course - mad about Vespas since the 80s
Martin has been a Vespa enthusiast since the mid-1980s - and with a passion. Growing up in Diedorf, the German headquarters of Vespa/Piaggio at the time, his enthusiasm for the Italian classics was formed early on. He has remained loyal to the scene ever since: In the 90s, he was one of the first riders of an ET4 in Germany and still lives the fascination of Vespa today.
There are several PX models in his garage alongside various GTS and GTV scooters - each one a chapter in his Vespa history. Today, Martin is our specialist for Modern Vespa. He combines in-depth technical expertise with genuine passion and prefers to test new components and setups on long tours with his GTS - practical, authentic and always with an eye for detail.
