Done for now with my Ciao, here is a video of the result.
Vespa Ciao with variomatic.
The next upgrade for my Ciao, a variomatic transmission. I bought a used set in Holland, with all the parts needed to fit on the Ciao. The variomatic is a stepless automatic transmission, the benefits are very good acceleration and top speed.
I will update the gallery below with pictures and description as i make progress.
Tuned Ciao Engine
I’m building a new engine for my Vespa Ciao, the original engine is just a bit too slow. I’m keeping the original engine, i bought a second engine for this tuning project.
The setup will be:
- Stock Ciao engine case with modified intake and transfer ports.
- Mazzucchelli AMT002 crankshaft, modified intake timing.
- DR 43 mm cylinder kit with Malossi high compression head.
- Dellorto SHA 13 mm carburettor.
- Giannelli Original Power exhaust.
Check the gallery below, i will add more pictures when i make progress. Further descriptions are on the pictures.
A short video after i’ve finished adjusting it, i might put a smaller pulley in the rear to get a little more top speed. Right now it does a little over 60 km/h.
Vespa Ciao 1995
The newest member of my small moped collection. It’s a Vespa Ciao from 1995, made by Piaggio.
1 HP, 30 km/h top speed.
