Iconic Italian scooter brand Lambretta is apparently
working on a new electric scooter model which is to be unveiled later this
year. Last year, Lambretta celebrated its 70th anniversary with an anniversary
V-Special model, and this year, Lambretta is expected to launch three models in
Australia, followed by the electric model. The V-Special is available in three
types - V50, V125 and V200, and in 2019 a new 400 cc model is expected to be
launched as well. The Lambretta V-Special is created by renowned Austrian
design firm KISKA, which also designs the latest KTM models, as well as the
Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen bikes.
Kiska has retained Lambretta's heritage styling with
features such as a steel body, fixed front fender and iconic badging. The side
panels are interchangeable in different colours, and there are aluminium
highlights as well as LED lights. Currently the Lambretta range is available in
three engine sizes - 50 cc, 125 cc and 200 cc. A 400 cc version is also under
development, as is the electric version. The company is also planning to re-introduce
the iconic GP and SX classic Lambretta models at a later date.
