Jens’ first scooter was a Vespa PX80, which he describes as a “classic German workhorse”. His favourite scooter model is the Lambretta GP200 and his favourite style of scooter is, “everything as long as it has a personal touch, but especially cut-downs.”

Equipped with a broad outlook on scootering interpretations and an open mind, Jens gave himself the perfect platform to set about producing three magnificent scooters. By trade Jens is a technical engineer which has, to say the least, helped him along his way to develop all the scooter outcomes he was hoping to achieve. All Jens’ scooters are ridden and having travelled to Margate in 2007, on a journey which took him through Denmark, Jens is no stranger to clocking up the miles on his scooters either.

Technical ability

Jens built ‘VSRC’ for his wife, Jessica, and the story for the inspiration of the development of the scooter takes an interesting path. In his role as a technical engineer, Jens manufactures and co-develops all of the special parts at Scooter & Service, Hamburg. Playing this talent to his advantage, Jens decided that he would add a challenge into Jessica’s scooter build and try and use as many of his own fabricated specialist parts as possible in the project.
