Lambretta Scooter
Lambretta is the brand name of mainly motor scooters, initially manufactured in Milan, Italy, by Innocenti.
The name is derived from the word "lambrate," the suburb of Milan named after the river Lambro, which flows through the area and where the factory was located. Lambretta was the name of a mythical water sprite associated with the river that runs adjacent to the former production site.
In 1972, the Indian government bought the machinery of the Milanese factory, creating Scooters India Limited (SIL) in order to produce the Lambro three-wheeler under the name Vikram for the domestic market. Lambretta scooters were also manufactured under license by Fenwick in France, NSU in Germany, Serveta in Spain, API in India, Yulon in Taiwan, Pasco in Brazil, Auteco in Colombia, and Siambretta in Argentina. Innocenti S.A. (also known as Lambretta Consortium), based in Lugano, Switzerland, is the owner of the international trademark Lambretta and has licensed the brand throughout the world.
The brand is famous for its V-Special and G-Special series. The V-Special is outstanding with exciting, classic Italian design, a sophisticated metal frame, and comfort on urban short trips. The V-Special is equipped with air-cooled engines and is available in 50, 125, or 169 cc displacements. The G-Special features a full steel monocoque architecture with interchangeable side panels, the iconic Lambretta design, and a full rider interface.
