Today’s date, April 24, 2023, is a long way from 1964. Still, thanks to the perseverance of an extremely determined gentleman named Costantino Frontalini, interested parties currently have the exceedingly rare chance to own the only amphibious Lambretta scooter in the world (we think, and we’d certainly like to know if there’s another one alive today, please).
Now, we’re reasonably certain that the words “you take your car to work; I’ll take my board—and when you’re out of fuel, I’m still afloat” weren’t written by Rivers Cuomo about the OG Lambretta Amphi-Scooter after which this one is patterned. However, since this scooter uses not one, but two boards combined with a paddle in the back to get where it’s going, though—who can say?
