Lambretta is a brand of scooters that originated in Italy in the late 1940s. Known for their stylish design and efficient performance, Lambretta scooters quickly became popular in urban areas. They were often associated with the youth culture of the 1960s, particularly in the United Kingdom, where they were featured in films and music. The brand was created by the Innocenti company, which initially manufactured metal products before venturing into scooter production. Over the years, Lambretta has undergone various ownership changes and has seen a resurgence in popularity, with modern models paying homage to the classic designs that made them iconic.
