As previously posted, my 2001 Vespa ET4 150 recieved a few upgrades this weekend, all from Italian aftermarket scooter tuning parts manufacturer Malossi. I put in their Multivar variator, kevlar drive belt, and Delta clutch. I have had a chance to do a little riding on the street.

If you have one of these CVT scooters, I would really encourage these upgrades. It is like a new bike, with better acceleration, and zippier over all. In particular, it moves better with the pace of traffic on the busier roads. Most important, it is a lot more fun. The parts did not cost a lot, and the job was pretty easy.

Next, I start tearing it down to do the paint, body, and Malossi 190cc kit while the engine is out. I will reassemble with new bushings and Bitubo adjustable shocks, and this thing should be like a new vehicle.

I hope you are all doing well. I have to see the cardiologist today and I am very nervous.

What is the estimated top speed after all the upgrades, including the 190cc kit?

And good luck at the cardiologist! You will be fine, you’ve done an amazing job taking care of yourself.

This raises two questions I didn’t expect. What color and will it wheelie?
