          Nice build. Hopefully the performance will match the looks.

            Definately a racer! Hopefully you get enough power out of the motor, since our vespa motors moslty do not match the other brands.

                Some updates:
                I had the wish to start the engine with a drill machine, at least in the workshop.
                It worked well but I found that the large nut went loos as the engine started.

                In my garage I had an engine from a grass trimmer with the pull start and I had a closer look to it and found some usefull parts, at this picture tey are readu to use:

                This is the big part put on the vario:

                As you see the flaps will go one direction and when the engine starts up they will go out.

                Next thing was the cooling scoop.
                To keep down the weight and to cut things off I wanted to take away the cooling fins off the flywheel.
                When I decided to buy the PVL ignition this was easy but I was thinking a little about the cooling.
                As I will race only shotr races I don´t think it will be a problem but to make shure I fabbed up a scoop to send oncoming air to the cylinder.
                I also drilled some holes in the head to enable airflow in cross direction.


                We´ll see how my theories work…8)

                  mow i drive with reevalve and 18mm , i need to drive with sprocked 110!!, because otherwise it wont drive .
                  maybe you olso get this problem so , be carefull of that.
                  one thing , i drive with a flywheel and my temperture down the spark plug is 220 degrees, sow its really high , but the cilinder is stil great, sow bee carefull.
                  good luck and keep up the good work:thumb

                    But like i mention before very nice project and i would like to hear of you what top speed it has.
                    Good luck!:thumb

                      Thanks for the replies.

                      I do have a DrEvo because of the race regulations that stops me at 70 cc´s so I had to go with the 43 mm cylinder.

                      To be picky, I do have an PVL ignition, not an HPI but thye are quite similar I think.

                          Today was the race and the machine was as god as I had expected.
                          To be clear on that point I can say I expected nothing and nothing was what I got…:D

                          The geared mopeds was like hornets leving me behind…8)

                          On the other hand, I was the fastest automatic machine, the only one too…;)
                          I missed a lot of power and had no speed at all.

                          Have a look here, you see me and the competitors, some difference in machines,aren´t there?

                          I will consider if I will go on or give in and sell the machine.

                            Hi all of you out there,
                            I have sold my blue SuperBravo and will spend my time on other objects.
                            Due to this I will not spend much time here.

                            I have enjoyed this forum and it have given me a lot of valuable information and knowledge as well as contacts.

                            Thanks to all and have a great Piaggio-life.

                            Best regards Ingvar

                              I could’ve told you right away that you wouldn’t have much of a chance of winning races against those other bikes.

                              But you made something really nice out of that Bravo, shame you sold it man, maybe one day you’ll regret doing that 😛

                                Thanks Klaas,
                                I knew I was up to something impossible, my aim was to build, not to win and I wanted to go my own way wich I did.

                                We´ll see what happens next…
