The new Vespa Primavera/Sprint also with ABS

From: http://www.autotriti.gr/data/news/preview_news/Oi-nees-Vespa-PrimaveraSprint-kai-me-ABS_120597.asp

  • Also available in our country is the new version of Vespa Primavera with ABS system

    Piaggio has announced versions with an ABS system for the new Vespa Primavera and Sprint, which significantly increases the levels of active safety. The new models are also available in our country.

    Creating playgrounds for use by children with mobility problems and ensuring their access to all municipal structures and schools, both the new Vespa Primavera and the Vespa Sprint are now also available with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The modern ABS unit intervenes on the front wheel of the new small Vespa significantly improving the active safety offered especially on poor quality pavement or on a wet road.

    The front wheel of the Vespa Primavera and Sprint ABS has a reading disc and a sensor that continuously measures its own speed and deceleration relative to that of the scooter. The sensor communicates with an electro-hydraulic control unit that activates the ABS system when the wheel slows down sharply, preventing the blocking and by extension the loss of control of the two-wheeler.

Brammo Empulse: Officially in May

The road version of the Empulse will be officially presented by Brammo after a long period of waiting. The official presentation of the electric motorcycle will take place on 8 May.
Recall that the Empulse is all-electric and is based on the North American TTXGP championship-winning Empulse RR racing version of 2011, while he participates incessantly from the 2009 and in the famous Isle of Man race, in the category of electric vehicles.

The features that distinguish the motorcycle from other electric models are the liquid-cooled electric motor, its long battery life (160 km, according to the company) and the transmission that takes place through a box 6 relations. The particularly powerful (for electric) motor produces 40 KW (54 horsepower) and 6,4 Kgm of torque.
Although the motorcycle has made some appearances in the past (as can be seen from the photos), it is rumored that the model Brammo will present on 8 of May will be quite different in appearance.

We are also waiting with interest for the price, which is expected to be higher than the 6.056 euros that the company's other motorcycle costs, η Brammo Enertia (8.329 Euros for the Plus version).

Helmet in the laundry

It may be that in most helmets the interior is anti-allergenic, antiperspirant and antibacterial, but this does not mean that we can neglect its cleaning.
So that we don't arrive, Well, to the point of… holding our breath every time we have to put it on our heads, we must take some time at regular intervals to wash the lining of our helmet. Provided, sure, that the inner lining of the helmet is removable (even the cheeks), the process is simple and won't take more than a few minutes.

First we carefully remove the lining from the helmet, after first observing how it is placed and re-fastened, so we can install it after we're done. Our cleaning supplies are few and easy to find. A basin with water and a neutral soap (a baby soap can prove perfect for the occasion) they are enough for us. Under no circumstances should we go into a sanitizing frenzy and use chemicals or alcohol, as this will destroy the investment. The first step is to put the liner in the basin of water and let it soak for a few minutes. Then, rub it gently with the soap (forget harsh scrubbing, boats etc.), with special care. After we clean it up, rinse it and leave it in the water for a few minutes.

The final act of… laundry is to wring it out carefully and then let it dry. Attention! The easy solutions of the hair dryer and the heater should be avoided, as high heat can damage the lining.

Motorcycle layering

At first 1.000 km. where the engine “comes alive” for the first time, it is good to avoid pressure. Here are the most important tips for laying it correctly.
• Put some marks on your tachometer and gradually overcome them. For example, keep the function up to 5.000-6.000 rpm. in the first kilometers and climb slowly- slowly, without pushing the engine.

• Accordingly, no need to overdo it with “lifeless” throttle openings. Acceleration should be full, so that the fuel mixture circulates well and the needle must not stick to one point of the tachometer.

• In addition to the engine, other parts of the motorcycle also go through their first hours of life, such as brakes and tires. The first time, Well, you should be much more careful, as their performance will not be found the 100%.

• Do not neglect the particularly important first service at 1.000 km. The oil change is carried out in it, it will clean the engine of the burr of its first operations.
