THE ROGUE SCENT OF ITALIANNESS

To become a world-wide legacy, is a privilege that only few can achieve. The name “Lambretta” is carved in history. It has the rogue scent of Italianness and does not leave one indifferent. In 1947 the first Lambretta enters the streets of Milan. Soon after, new models conquer the streets on all continents. The Lambretta becomes an object of worship, of a modern icon. It remains faithful to its riders, the Lambrettisti, thanks to its superior quality and its characteristic Italian design. Lambretta becomes a lifestyle. Its models have since its introduction turned the heads and won the hearts of millions of people around the world.

Our history

Born from Innocenti’s struggling steel tubing factory in the Lambarte district of Milan in northern Italy, Lambretta rose to prominence as the vehicle of choice for the masses after World War II. It was a fun and reliable mode of transportation that was affordable, revolutionary in design and trendy, being available in six pastel colours. Adopted by the Mods in the 1960’s and ridden by many famous names, James Dean for one, Lambretta quickly became a legend. It was more than just a scooter – the brand was a fashion icon. But as small cars rose in popularity, demand for scooters fell. In 1997 Lambretta ceased production, before returning in 2017 with the new V-Special.
