Vespa Ciao Racer

[Bob Uhl]

Vespa Ciao Racer with a stock Vespa motor. This bike is a lot of fun to ride with the current set up. I had a Polni 70cc motor on the bike but I can't seem to get it to run consistantly. Talk about having some fun when that polini did run though. I can send some pics. Call,text or email with your questions. Thanks, Bob 330-421-5415

I take it the Polini isn't included. Did you convert it to variated?

[Bob Uhl]

No the Polini isn't included. I've a bit more money into that engine. The idea of a variated drive was the next step for the build. Vepsa made different pulley sizes and the rear hub gear ratio have been changed through out its time. The gear ratio in the rear hub is 8:1 and the front and rear pulleys are the smaller diameter. The bike isn't a speed demon off the line but it does pick up well for what the set up I have. With the stock motor, the bike seems to do around 27 to 30 mph I have 2 other Ciao frames that i can put that polini engine into once I figure it out. thanks, Bob
