- [SRP Racetech race team, BSSO:] I finished the season by winning the Group 6 Championship. Ralph & I also won the Group 8 & Overall Sidecar Championship. There has been much interest in your tubeless rims, of which I cannot sing their praises enough.
- A lot of the lads in my club have gone to tubeless on their TS1's and are all raving about them one lad had a 3 inch nail go into his tyre last year on the way to a rally (at high speed) and it gently went down - normally would have had him off.
- One of my barrel fins went straight through my scootRS tubeless [tire] at high speed but still gave me time to get it under control and stop. If it was a tube I recon I would have lost it. No problems with fitting hub or tyre change.
- I'm coming in to my second year now on these scootRS tubeless rims, covered some thousand odd miles, no problems as yet touch wood, feel a whole lot safer with these under me.
- I've just used ScootRS rims for [riding to] Austria, 2,300+ miles up and down mountains, along motorways and hairpins and in all sorts of conditions/weather with no probs. Haven't used any kind of tyre seal but might do over the winter. Definitely recommend them to anyone.
- a quick note to say how pleased i am with my lambretta tubeless rims, 10,000+ miles and not a problem, 2 punctures (1 with pillion), machine was controllable on both occasions, many many thanks
- I have now done over 7000 miles on a set of scootRS tubeless rims and I'm on my second set of tyres. No problems at all and although I do check the tyre pressures regularly I have only had to top up the air on 2 or 3 occasions over the last 3 years which indicates the quality of the valves and the seal on the bead. The advertised problem with tyre fitting has not materialised although I have cut the old tyres off the rims myself before going to the tyre garage for the new rubber fitting.
Their first trip was on the rear of the scooter when it went two-up to Holland for a custom show soon after the article. Since then it has been to a rally and race-track in France, numerous places in the UK, as well as being used as a commuter scooter and workhorse.
Sometime during all this the tyre emigrated to the front of the scoot, and even after spending six months in the garage without being ridden while I was off enjoying the Vespa GTS, the PX was pushed back into service and the tyre with the ScootRS rim needed barely any air in it.
As such once complete and fitted the ScootRS rim has done exactly what it's meant to.

BEWARE:
Our tubeless rims have a proven record over many years now on both the road and track and have prevented untold blowouts and serious accidents. There has never been a single replacement needed since these rims came out. Not regular steel, not stainless steel, zero. Please read the quotes from individuals and race teams actually using them.
There are also local Asian market knockoffs to beware of missing all our safety features:
- I can vouch for the ScootRS rims as I have done 7,400 miles on a set, had 3 lots of tyres on with no probs and am ordering some for my Vespa. There are a lot of Spaq/Sterling [knockoffs] about that, having looked at them, don't appear to be made to the same standard.
- I recently visited a newish local scooter shop that sells another [knockoff] version and I have to say the quality of them looked awful.
If it isn't stamped "scootRS" it's a low-quality knockoff, so don't be fooled by an unscrupulous reseller.
Another world first from scootRS: tubeless rims. This is our 3rd tubeless rim design and incorporates a safety bead and improvements based upon our experience since we invented them.
What's so special about a tubeless rim? A rim that requires a tube, as all Vespa rims do, means your tire suddenly and dangerously blows out when punctured. That often means a crash. Scooterists are regularly hurt, hospitalized and even killed due to accidents caused by these constant blowouts.
On a tubeless rim, however, you merely have a slow air leak, as on a car. No blowout means no crash. That's the huge safety advantage and why we invented them.
The rims are powdercoated. Choose your color.
Buy our tubeless tires - see the related products - and we'll mount them for you! Much easier for you! Be sure to add a comment at checkout to mount the tires so we know. (Asia stock only.) Rims are 3.5x10 and fit most 10 inch Vespas (not GS160/SS180) and smallframes with finned hubs.
