German scooter specialist SIP Scootershop is staging its Open Day again this year on Saturday , May 20th at its 6,000 sq m of recently remodelled designer loveliness facility at Landsberg ( near Munich ). Last year , some 2,000 or so scooter riders came from near and far . There will be a warm welcome for all with hospitality , food and drinks from its Italian SIPERIA Café-Bar , parts sale
and used scooter market , dyno testing , photo wall , music ( vinyl of course ), tech , tuning and performance talks and much more . Every year the attendance grows and sees scooter enthusiasts young and old coming from ever further afield . Massive race fans as they are , the SIP Scootershop team has a plan for midseason too - in July - " a scooter cross race on our own small , lovingly selfbuilt Vespa and scooter cross track , directly at our headquarters in Landsberg ". Matscho Karatscho # 2 on 29 July , 2023 , the official Vespa Cross Race 2023 , will feature four classes . " Our goal was that everyone interested can participate without having to dig a financial grave ". The classes will be : Class 1 : Scooter Classic - " Large Frame " ≥ 125 cc ( e . g . Vespa Largeframe , Lambretta 1-3 series LI / GP or Heinkel Tourist - 10 inch
wheels , engine capacity from 125 ccm , driveset swingarm in original position and design , fork and frame must fit / belong to each other and be of original construction . Class 2 : Classic - " Small Frame " ≤125 cc ( e . g . Vespa Smallframe , Lambretta j- range or Simson SR50 ). Also 10 inch wheels , but unlimited displacement . Class 3 will be a ' Run what you Brung ' - so long as it is , or once was , a scooter of some kind ( max . 13 inch wheels ) and a fourth class for mopeds - the vehicle must have been delivered with a pedal drive and a maximum speed of 25 km / h , frame and engine must be from the same type of vehicle and tyres must be of original dimensions . So crazy that it cannot fail to be awesome fun !
