SIP Custom Vespa GTS

SIP CUSTOM VESPA GTS „SERIES PORDOI“

OUR SIP SERIES PORDOI CUSTOM VESPA IS EVERYTHING BUT STANDARD. FROM FRONT TO BACK THE MODERN VESPA IS DECKED OUT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND HANDMADE PARTS. FROM THE HANDMADE CARBON-FIBRE MUDGUARD TO THE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED HORNCOVER, THE DROPPED HANDLEBARS AND THE FULL LED LIGHTING TO THE CNC MACHINED COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE SWINGARM, RIMS, A CHOICE OF COVERS, BRAKE LEVERS AND OIL PLUGS, NOTHING HAS BEEN LEFT UNTOUCHED.

Instead of taking parts off the shelf we have decided to do a full custom build and to design our own components. We now want to give all Modern Vespa enthusiasts the chance to fit these components, lovingly made with a wealth of details, to their own scooters. Hence we made a production run of the custom parts and now offer the SERIES PORDOI Line with pretty much all parts needed to build a replica of our custom GTS. The custom paintjob of our Vespa is particularly striking. No lesser painter than Fabrizio Caoduro of 70s Helmets fame took on the job, and the result is a real customshowbike-paintjob similar to what can be found among Harley-Customizers. It of course includes the race number 25 to appreciate SIP Scootershop‘s 25th anniversary.

SIP SCOOTERSHOP CORONA UPDATE

A P E R S O N A L MATTER STATUS:

MID-MAY 2020

On 4 January, a small report appeared in the Süddeutsche Zeitung „44 people suffering from mysterious pneumonia“. At that time it was not known whether the disease was caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or toxins. This little breeze in central China then developed into a worldwide monster hurricane, the consequences of which nobody can escape. We are all watching the corona virus‘ developments on a daily basis. These are strange times. We are following the authorities‘ recommendations and taking preventive measures to protect our fellow humans. The health of our customers and employees is our top priority and is at the forefront of everything we think and do.

We would like to offer you a glimpse behind the scenes, how we are dealing with the crisis at SIP Scootershop, and how our customers and suppliers all over the world are doing.

First of all, we reorganised a lot of the processes in our company. Our SIPERIA had to be closed, for us in the team and for guests from outside. Tenant Salvatore, who also runs another Italian restaurant in Landsberg, provides us with the necessary calories in the form of pizza and pasta by delivery service. We have divided our warehouse team into groups that work strictly separated from each other. In the event of infection, the entire team should not be affected. Social distancing between all of them is the order of the day anyway, and it has been well practised in the meantime. Things are actually very familiar and friendly in our company, people talk and hug each other – not doing this still feels very strange. We have built protective „cages“ out of cardboard boxes at all our office workstations to protect employees in the best possible way. A number of employees are now working from home and it is going surprisingly well. If you call us at the moment the chances are that you will not come through in Landsberg but in a private living room… There are special safety precautions in contact with delivery services and suppliers, sanitiser is available, and everybody has known how to wash their hands properly for some time anyway.

NEW E-MOBILITY BUSINESS UNIT: STEFAN LEONHARDT

Stefan Leonhardt is developing and managing the new E-Mobility Business Unit at SIP Scootershop. This is where all topics related to innovative electric drive systems come together. These include e-scooters (e-kickscooters) and e-bike tuning articles. The graduate sports economist has been involved in product management, and the sales and marketing of sports and technical products for more than 20 years. He bought his first Vespa PX in 1988. As an enthusiastic outdoor sportsman, topics such as sustainability and micro-mobility are of genuine concern to him. With the new business unit, SIP Scootershop is getting another innovative and sustainable pillar that also promises a lot of fun.

ALREADY FOR THE FIFTH TIME A VESPA CORSO OPENED THE MUNICH VESPA SEASON 2019 ACROSS SCHWABING! THE RATTLING AND HUMMING OF THE VESPAS AND LAMBRETTAS RETURNS TO THE NORTHERNMOST CITY OF ITALY. UNDER THE MOTTO „THE TRUE ASCENSION DAY“, PASTOR DR. FRIEDEMANN STECK ORGANIZED THIS EVENT.

„Every year in the run-up to the summer season we meet to open the new Vespa-Saion with a Corso over the Leopoldstraße. It‘s exhilarating to be on the road with a large Vespa community, from Münchener Freiheit square towards the Siegestor and on between the Roman fountains, where Munich becomes Italian ... Crackling passion, the true ascension. In 2014 we were 13 Vespers, in 2016 we were 280, in 2017 even more than 400. 2018 surely 450 and this year 2019 just as many. A devotion is about the passion of two-wheeled cyclists, about gratitude and request for freedom from accidents and about fairness on the road.

At the beginning, the organizer and Protestant pastor spoke entertaining and subtle words of devotion, the Italian jazz saxophonist Enrico Sartori, accompanied by the chord orchestra Binario XI, provided the Mediterranean musical framework. The route of the Corso, which was escorted by the police, led over the Leopoldstraße past the Siegestor and almost to Odeonsplatz. There the corso of more than 400 participants turned and drove towards themselves for the first time this year - a great picture! In front of the Siegestor we continued until the final stop at Friedenstraße. There, in the inner courtyard of the Protestant student community, there were crickets and picnics where you could see and admire the nostalgic Vesps. An extremely charming and, despite the meanwhile high number of participants, family event under the most beautiful white-blue sky!
