You might not have heard of Lambretta, and we have Vespa to thank for that. The brand’s heyday was in the 1950s and 1960s, and it was essentially neck-and-neck with its other Italian rival. After a revival in 2017, the company has been slowly winning back its popularity, and this new lineup of scooters could help in that endeavor.
Vintage collectors and aficionados will know that Lambrettas are quite desirable. A bit of a break from the myriad of vintage Vespas, a Lambretta is its own version of unique in the scooter market. Modern incarnations use a steel monocoque for the frame and body, which incorporates some modern technologies and designs with some very classic styling. Lambretta uses steel plates to reduce weight and maintain rigidity even if it features a step-through design.
