The scooter-tuning experts from NCY have just released this new coil-on-spark direct ignition coil for 2T and 4T scooters, giving you a chance to bring your scooter's ignition tech into the 21st century!

Since the 1990s, modern cars and high-performance motorcycles have broadly adopted coil-on-spark ignition technology because it allows more precise tuning and burns fuel more completely, for better power and cleaner emissions. This "direct ignition" setup's advantages (when properly tuned) can translate to more power and crisper, sharper throttle response at higher rpm - and also avoids the need to switch very high voltages, for more uniform performance in damp or humid weather.

We've tested this system on our own Honda Ruckus shop bike with great results, and our dealers have reported back increases of up to 2 mph with this simple bolt-on (on a tuned 2T Yamaha Zuma). Head over to the 0900-1075 product page at Scooterworks.com, and check it out - this is a great piece of engine eye candy that really works!

We're in the heated throes of summer here in Chicago, and it's probably well into the 80's (if not 90's!) where you are, and you're enjoying the riding season. You're probably not thinking about your winter project, though - but now is the time to plan, and save 15% when you pre-order! We've got a number of Scooterworks engine rebuild kits featured on the main page this week, as well as all the tools you'll need. These kits were put together by Scooterworks' technicians with everything you need to get your scooter running like new.

Want to push the rebuild back a bit? You can always swap in one of our BRAND NEW 5-port engines from LML and keep riding while your build up your engine into a high-horsepower monster! Check out Scooterworks' line-up of high-performance tuning parts for your Vespa, and (of course) feel free to call Scooterworks' technical support staff at 1.888.968.3772 with any questions you have.

Last week's Perfect Power promo highlighted Pinasco's new performance pipe and carb upgrade for Genuine Scooters' equally new 4-stroke Stella. The promo also featured Pinasco's new ultra-light flywheel (just 1650g !) for PX150 and P200E vintage Vespas, which dramatically cuts down on spinning mass for better acceleration, better braking, and a different world of throttle-response.

Don't forget about Pinasco's other great products, though - CLICK HERE to check out the dozens of high-performance parts available for your bike, at scooterworks.com!

Steering a classic set of wheels down a winding road with the wind in your hair and the sun at your back - it's a common daydream among gearheads of both 2 and 4-wheeled inclinations. The reality, though, is often prohibitively expensive, especially in the case of rare classics like Carroll Shelby's 60's-era Cobra roadsters.

On the 4-wheeled side of things, enthusiasts' demands for that "Cobra experience" have led to the evolution of an entire industry and a new kind of vehicle: the kit car.

In recent years, "kit cars" have advanced by leaps and bounds, often delivering an experience more in line with the owner/builder's fantasy than the inevitable let-down of 1960's-era authenticity. These kits use new engines, often with more modern electronics and creature comforts that simply weren't available when the "originals" were first conceived.

So, the car enthusiasts looking for a classic experience (rather than a classic ownership experience) are well-served ... but what about those gearheads with 2-wheeled inclinations we mentioned earlier?

Scooterworks has them covered, with classic Italian scooter looks combined with modern power, performance, and reliability - at a price that won't break the bank.

Scooterworks' kit bikes are more "continuations" than re-creations, making use of authentic steel chassis parts that have been checked for and re-checked to be rust-free and structurally sound. From there, the frame's new owner can equip the bike with a fresh and reliable 5-port, 2-stroke engine, modern electrics, remote-reservoir performance shocks, modern brakes, and safe, modern scooter tires to deliver the sort of fast, fun riding experience that vintage scooter riders remember having (but didn't necessarily have) 40 years ago.
