More information about Lambretta

Lambretta began its journey in the motorcycling world in 1947, taking the name of the Lambro river which ran near to the factory in Milan where the scooters were produced. Following closely in the footsteps of Vespas by Piaggio, the scooters were built to aid quick transport for the people of Italy.

The very first Lambretta scooter was fitted with a 123cc engine and a 3-speed gear box which was operated by foot – aptly named Lambretta Model A.

However, with the production of small cars becoming cheaper and more accessible the scooter was no longer a popular mode of transport. Production ceased momentarily in 1972 when the Indian government bought the rights to the Lambretta name from Innocenti, taking on the same vision as the founders – cheap transport for the working class.
