SIP - Open Day
SIP Scootershop (Landsberg am Lech, near Munich) will stage its popular 2026 Open Day on 16 May - the event that fires a starting gun for the scooter season throughout Bavaria and beyond.
The last SIP Open Day attracted around 3,500 scooter riders from near and far. The Thursday before the Open Day is Ascension Day, a public holiday, and Munich hosts the Vespa Corso. Two great events on one long weekend!
As ever all the usual attractions and creature comforts will make it a fun day - from crispy pizza cooked in the wood-fired Ape, to food and drink from the Italian SIPERIA café bar and a Custom Scooter Show.
Visitors always report that highlight though is the chance to tour SIP's architect designed, purpose-built headquarters and to have your scooter tested on their calibrated P4 Amerschlaeger test bench (dynamometer).
Every year there are more vendors and an always growing parts and used scooter market for bargains and rarities.
Among the parts that will be on show will be SIP's performance upgrade kits and its Mk II 2.0 design forged aluminum rims for all modern Vespa GTS models - an update to the new-in-2025 seen in IDN a yar ago.
With reduced 3,000 g weight (and therefore improved handling) compared to comparable 13" rims, they meet German and international strength and durability standards, have a dynamic design with concave surface, are approved for wide tyres up to 140/60-13" and ship with the ABE general operating permit certificate.
