Remember Lambretta Scooter
In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire manufacturing rights for the last Innocenti Lambretta model, the GP 150. Production began a couple of years later. The first model launched was sold as the Vijay Delux/DL, despite SIL owning the rights to the Lambretta name which was only used on exported models. The Vijay was later enhanced and sold as the Vijay Super. Further improvements were made in the final years of production by incorporating contemporary Japanese technology. SIL also distributed CKDs that were assembled in different parts of India and sold as the Allwyn Pusphak and Karnataka Falcon. S.I.L. stopped producing scooters in 1998, but still manufacture limited spares for their Vijay/GP range of scooters. Their production now centres on the Vikram 3-wheeler, powered by a Lambretta engine. Last edited by sony; 18-02-2010 at 08:32 PM. |

It consumes too much petrol, not environment friendly. We should not use these scooters rather they should be made available in showrooms as historical monuments.
