Useful info about the History of the Lambretta
In 1922, Ferdinando Innocenti of Pescia built a steel-tubing factory in Rome. In 1931, he took this company to Milan where he built a larger factory producing seamless steel tubing and employing about 6,000. Throughout the Second World War, the factory was heavily bombed and destroyed. It is said that surveying the ruins, Innocenti saw the future of cheap, private transport and decided they would develop a motor scooter – competing on cost and weather protection from the ubiquitous motorcycle.
Concept
The primary stimulus for the design style of the Lambretta and Vespa dates back to Pre-WWII Cushman scooters made in Nebraska, USA. These olive green scooters were in Italy in large numbers, ordered originally by Washington as field transport for the Paratroops and Marines. The United States military had used them to avoid Nazi defence tactics of destroying roads and bridges in the Dolomites (an area of the Alps) and also the Austrian border areas.
Aeronautical engineer General Corradino D’Ascanio, and construction of the first modern helicopter by Agusta, was given the duty by Ferdinando Innocenti of designing a simple, robust and affordable vehicle. It had to be easy to drive for both males and females , be capable of carry a passenger without having it get its driver’s clothes soiled.
Design and style
D’Ascanio, who hated motorbikes, designed a revolutionary vehicle. It had been built on a spar frame which includes a handlebar gear change along with the engine mounted directly onto the rear wheel. The front protection “shield” kept the rider dry and clean when compared with the open front end on motorcycles. The pass-through leg area design was intended for women, as wearing dresses or skirts made riding conventional motorcycles a task. The front fork, just like an aircraft’s landing gear, allowed for simple wheel changing. The internal mesh transmission eliminated the common motorcycle chain, an origin of oil and dirt. This basic design allowed a number of features getting deployed around the frame which could later allow quick advancement of new models.
However, General D’Ascanio fell out with Innocenti, who rather than a moulded and beaten spar frame desired to produce his frame from rolled tubing, allowing him to bring back both features of his prewar company. General D’Ascanio disassociated himself with Innocenti and took his design to Enrico Piaggio who produced the spar-framed Vespa from 1946 on.
Into production
Going for a year longer to develop, the 1947 Lambretta featured a rear pillion seat for a passenger or optionally a storage compartment. Original front protection “shield” was a flat piece of aero metal; later this developed in to a twin skin to enable additional storage at the ‘back of’/behind the leading shield, just like the glove compartment in a vehicle. The fuel cap was underneath the (hinged) seat which saved the expense connected with an additional lock on the fuel cap or necessity for additional metal work on the smooth skin.
Deriving the name Lambretta from the small river Lambro in Milan, which ran near to the factory, Innocenti started producing the Lambretta scooters in 1947 – one year afterwards Piaggio started production of its Vespa models. Lambrettas were manufactured under licence in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India and Spain, sometimes under other names but always to a recognizable design (e.g. Siambretta in South America and Serveta in Spain).
BLMC closure of Innocenti
As wealth increased in Western Europe in the late 1960s, the demand for motor scooters fell because the small car became available to more people and Lambretta did start to struggle financially as did parent Innocenti. The British Leyland Motor Corporation took advantage of Innocenti’s financial difficulties in addition to their production and engineering expertise and contracted Innocenti to produce cars under licence from BLMC. The Innocenti Mini used the mechanical components of the original but was in numerous ways superior to it.
Innocenti/Lambretta was eventually sold to BLMC. Unfortunately, absence of foresight had caused BLMC to join a fashion trend which was ending rapidly. Long industrial strikes in BLMC ensued; motor-scooter sales took a nosedive, and both Innocenti and Lambretta shut up shop in 1972.

The Indian government bought the factory for basically the same reasons that Ferdinando Innocenti had built it following the War. India was a country with poor infrastructure, economically not ready for small private cars yet having a need for private transport.
Automobile Products of India (API) began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India after independence around the 1950s. They eventually acquired a licence to produce the Li150 Series 2 model, which was sold under the Lambretta Series 2 name until about 1976 and at a later time changed the name to Lamby for legal reasons as Scooter India Ltd acquired the total Innocenti Unit in 1972. API also built the trademark model [API-175] 3 wheeler that was based upon Innocenti’s Lambro. API continued to construct Lambretta-derived models till the 1980s but have been non-operational since 2002.
In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise operating out of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the whole Lambretta manufacturing and trademark rights. Former Innocenti employees were used to establish an Indian factory as the whole set of manuals and machinery instructions were in Italian. The first scooter built was the Vijay Delux/DL, which was badged the Lambretta GP150 in export markets. This sold poorly on account of build problems and was enhanced to turn into the Vijay Super. Further improvements were produced in the final years of production by incorporating a contemporary Japanese CDI unit and a sophisticated front suspension. SIL also distributed CKDs which were assembled in several parts of India and sold as the Allwyn Pusphak, Falcon, and Kesri. They were of a lower quality rrn comparison to the SIL produced models and sometimes incorporated significant styling changes.
SIL production seems to have peaked during the financial year 1980-1981, with around 35,000 scooters being built. However by 1987 this had dropped close to 4,500 units with production finally ceasing in 1997. As of 2010 S.I.L.’s production now centres on the Vikram 3-wheeler, powered via the Lambretta engine. SIL also produces limited spares for the GP/DL range of scooters. [8] [9] There’s also an established export trade in second-hand Lambrettas (and their derivatives), primarily for the UK market.
Today
In the U . S ., Scooters India Ltd licensed the Khurana Group USA LLC to manufacture and distribute scooters under the Lambretta brand. The first release in 2008 were rebadged Adly models [10] of contemporary design, including a 49 cc DUE50, a 49 cc UNO50 in addition to a 150 cc UNO150.
You will still find clubs across Europe along with the UK, both national and local clubs, dedicated to the Lambretta scooter. The clubs still participate and organize ride outs and rallies which regularly occur during weekends throughout the summertime and have high attendance, some rallies achieve 2,500 paying rally goers. Throughout the UK there are plenty of privately owned scooter shops which deal with everything Lambretta, from sales, services, parts, tuning, performance and also nut and bolt restorations.
