World map of ScootRS customers

(ScootRS customer countries we've shipped to.)

scootRS Lambretta Vespa Scooters & Parts has a licensed factory in HCMC, Vietnam, and stock overseas. We've been at it since 1995 and are, by far, the largest classic scooter parts manufacturer in Vietnam with over 50 employees.

The company is run by a Canadian who, in his former life, waited out Montréal snowstorms pondering philosophical conundrums, such as whether to go buy groceries when it is -20 Celcius. He still dreams of Schwartz's smoked-meat sandwiches and Fairmount's onion bagels. –The initiates know.

Great Parts

I have recently finished unpacking the below orders that came in one large box. Being nearly 100 items it has taken some time to go through it all. I have used a couple of your products before and been happy, but having placed orders for well over $2,000 worth of goods, I was a tad nervous what the quality on such a wide range of items would be like. Whilst it was sad to see that I missed your calendars, I would like to say that I am very impressed with the overall quality of your products.
ScootRS have had some real wins lately. I have in my hands two Vietnamese disc brake conversions. One is the scootRS [high-pressure cast] one and the other is a sand cast one. I'll award the scootRS 9 points and the sand cast one 5 points. It's a quality product ready to bolt on with no need to tart it up. I'll be using it with scootRS [tubeless] rims.

Unlike the many resellers of local market items, we manufacture parts inhouse, making metal, stainless steel, cast alloy, rubber, and plastic parts. In our large 2-story factory we have a full array of hydraulic presses and lathes, welding, polishing, sewing and other equipment, CAD and mold-making capability, etc., as well as a large warehouse and onsite office. We have an expensive backup power system for the entire facility so we are not down for even a minute during the regular power outages in the city.

By manufacturing inhouse we can concentrate on providing good consistent quality at a low price - “Same as Italian but half the price,” we often say -, then supplying orders quickly through good organization and service. We strongly value customer feedback as an integral part of the process, track it internally, and incorporate it whenever possible. We continually develop new products, many of which are upgrades for classic scooters like our disc brakes, tubeless rims and classic CDI kits - see our reviews. We send parts to individuals all over the world, and to the best scooter shops on each continent, and our parts are often noted in major scooter magazines.

Great Scooters

After spending an afternoon at ScootRS, I wanted to order one of their Lambrettas because of the quality of their shop (yes, an actual shop).
My scooter arrived yesterday and it was well worth waiting for. It looks absolutely superb. I am delighted with it. It took a few kicks to get it started, but now it starts first kick every time. I took it for its MOT this morning and it flew through. The tester said he sees quite a few Lambrettas and that most look nice and shiny on top but when you looked beneath the shiny finish there were a lot of faults but this was the best finished Lambretta over and under that he had seen. He also said he thought that it ran like a dream. He was very impressed.

Though we basically started the whole “custom-scooters-from-Asia” business, we actually restore very few scooters, and all go direct to customers, most of whom come to us by past reference. To avoid the typical problems on old scooters in Asia, we import a full line of parts for our restorations, ensuring all the critical engine items are new and top quality so the customer doesn't have to worry about anything. We let the customer design his dream machine and, because we make so many accessories inhouse, our custom-ordered scooters with unique and high-end options are a great deal.

Our attention to quality and reliability has led to positive reviews in the major world scootering magazines, and awards for our scooters at rallies in various countries.

It is also interesting to note that we sell absolutely nothing locally unless some crazy ex-pat is willing to pay for Western standards, instead focussing entirely on Western quality and markets.

The best value around?

We just got 2 more bikes to restore and we are going to order several items for their restoration over the next few weeks. We have been extremely busy and we are so satisfied with the quality of your product that we are going to use you guys as our number one parts source. You have proven to us to be a top notch company and totally reliable in every respect.

After years of extremely hard work and attention to customer feedback, we actually think we do provide the best value anywhere! Try a small order and see for yourself. If you have any feedback or suggestions for us, please contact us.
