Remember Shami Kapoor- Sharmila Tagore’s famous song Hoga Tumse Kal Bhi Sanma’ inAn Evening in Paris’.
Shammi and other actors could be seen riding famous Lambretta scooters which were a craze in the sixties and seventies. The entire song was picturized while actors including famous comedian Rajinder Nath were riding scooters.
Enter 2022, Lambretta Scooters are staging a comeback in a new avatar. Lambretta recently announced two new scooters, which have been redefining classic scooter design language.
Of the two, G350 stays true to the classic lines and X300 follows a slightly edgy and futuristic approach. But both scooters get iconic Lambretta design elements like the front horn cast finished in chrome. Both designs look stunning, making Ferdinando Innocenti, founder of Lambretta’s parent company Innocenti, proud in his afterlife.
New Lambretta G350 Scooter G350 is a classic retro-styled scooter powered by a 330.1 cc single-cylinder, 4-valve petrol engine making 27 bhp @7500 RPM and 27 Nm @6250 RPM. It gets a large 9.5-liter fuel tank and weighs a healthy 173 kg. G350 rides on 12” wheels wrapped with 120/70 Pirelli rubber at the front and 130/70 Pirelli rubber at the back.
The scooter also gets other modern features like a USB phone charger adhering to the modern lifestyle. It also gets beautiful and classic Lambretta branding showing its rich heritage. New Lambretta Scooter – G350 Designed in Milano, Lambretta G350 comes in 3 beautiful shades.
The White shade gets an Orange contrasting seat, the Red shade gets a Dark Red seat and the Black shade gets an orange seat too. The Black one looks the classiest as the intricately designed and tasteful chrome elements are contrasted more than in other colors.
New Lambretta X300 Scooter X300 is a more futuristic approach to scooter design taken by Lambretta. It is powered by a 275 cc single-cylinder, 4-valve petrol engine making 24.8 bhp @8250 RPM and 24.5 Nm @6250 RPM. It gets a relatively small 7-liter fuel tank and weighs 165 kg. Just like the G350, X300 also rides on 12” wheels wrapped with 120/70 Pirelli rubber at the front and 130/70 Pirelli rubber at the back. Lambretta has had a free hand in designing the X300. It is reminiscent of the scooter’s overall design.
Indian consumers have to wait for more time as the company will not launch the scooters in the country soon.
