Malossi Performance Gear Kits



Malossi are known the world over for manufacturing class leading and innovative performance products for all capacities of scooter from 50cc through to 800cc, and after upgrading the cylinder kit, variator and exhaust on an automatic scooter, it is essential to harness the extra power that is produced and transmit this to the rear wheel. Adding a Malossi gear kit to the scooter achieves just this, turning power at the crank into speed at the back wheel.

The transmission gears are made from special steel with straight teeth and recalculated ratios. The design of the gear naturally eliminates all the axial pressures placed on the gears, thereby reducing the stress on the gear support bearings. The manufacturing of the gears is carried out on high precision machines, case hardened, tempered and then ground to provide silent running and excellent longevity. Malossi manufacture gear kits for a wide selection of automatic scooters from 50cc to 250cc in capacity and are designed to be utilised on an already tuned scooter.

All Malossi performance products are exclusively imported by VE (UK) the Malossi Spa Appointed Sole UK Distributor. This ensures those who purchase from Malossi Tech Centres or VE dealers, are buying genuine factory supplied parts with a full UK warranty through the official VE dealer network.

All RRP prices are available from your local Malossi Tech Centre, or VE appointed dealer.
