Right i may well be coming over to the grey side of scootering and getting a lammy instead of my trusty px .Now what i want to know is can you put a disc brake on the front easily and if so where is the best priced kit available ? i nearly went up the ass of a car on the test ride as i am too used to a px brake set up

Yes. There are several available. Your best bet is to talk to Corrado or the Scooterotica boys and see what you need.

It's a pretty much off with the old and on with the new replacement parts, apart from drilling your headset to accommodate the hydraulic hose. I choose not to sell the kits that don't have Nissin caliper and master cylinder, the copy versions are a few quid cheaper but being crucial to your safety it's not an area I'd look at scrimping on.

Save your money - it's all about anticipation and conservation of momentum.

Reverse pull is just as good as any disc brake.

Anti dive scoot rs front disc brake, does what it says on the tin easy to fit and just might save your life when there just isnt time for anticipation

i would talk to corrado and i would suggest the scoot rs single disc anti -dive set up if it stops me then you will be ok, it is the cheapest kit available no frills but works extremely well,
these boys with drum brakes and reverse pull must get their arses nipping on occations!
