Scootopia Vespa & Lambretta 16mm Small End Bearing
Scootopia 16mm Small End Bearing, designed for compatible Vespa and Lambretta two-stroke engines using a 16mm piston pin.
The small end bearing is an important component within the engine, allowing the piston pin (gudgeon pin) to rotate smoothly inside the connecting rod while reducing friction and wear.
Manufactured by Scootopia, this 16mm small end bearing is an ideal replacement when rebuilding an engine or replacing a worn or damaged original bearing. Fitting a new small end bearing during an engine rebuild can help ensure smooth piston and connecting rod operation and provide peace of mind when putting a rebuilt engine back into service.
A useful replacement component for classic Vespa and Lambretta engine rebuilds, subject to the correct piston pin and connecting rod specification.

🛠️ Fitment
Suitable for compatible Vespa and Lambretta engines using a 16mm piston pin/small end.
Always check the piston pin diameter, connecting rod specification and existing bearing before ordering.
🚀 Why Replace Your Small End Bearing?
The small end bearing operates under significant load inside a two-stroke engine. It allows the piston pin to move smoothly while the piston travels up and down the cylinder.
Over time, a worn small end bearing can develop excessive play or wear, which can affect the smooth operation of the engine and potentially contribute to further component wear.
When rebuilding a classic Vespa or Lambretta engine, replacing the small end bearing is sensible preventative maintenance, particularly when the original bearing has covered many miles or its condition is unknown.
This Scootopia 16mm small end bearing provides a convenient replacement for compatible applications and is ideal for engine rebuilds and restoration projects.
