QUATTRINI WARS

In last month’s edition of Scootering we predicted that Max Quattrini’s small block kit had plenty of potential and it seems we weren’t wrong. The Chiselspeed test engine ran at just under 24bhp straight out of the box, which was impressive enough. German tuner Rainer Büsch was showcasing his heavily modified creation generating 28bhp as we went to press. And as we hinted in the article, Chiselspeed was quick to fight back its their own interpretation reading a more than impressive 32.5bhp. With kits only just hitting the shelves it looks like Quattrini has produced a winner. As tohow far tuners can push the kit, only time will tell.

ELECTRIC RENTALS

Not convinced by electric scooters? Frankly you’re not alone. However, visitors to German cities such as Berlin and Stuttgart are being offered the chance to take part in an e-scooter sharing scheme. Designed to ease congestion and pollution, a variety of scooters are on offer but the most familiar to Scootering readers will be the Emco Retro Nova. Based on the Modena/Milano chassis, it has a range of 100km and it’s claimed that charging the battery costs less than €1. The manufacturer, Emco Electroroller, states that more than 2000 scooters are currently available for rent and expansion to other cities will happen very soon. www.emco-elektroroller.de and www.stadtwerke-stuttgart.de
