The Lambretta, like many of its European brothers, is locked up and interwoven with a parent company that manufactures many other products in addition to its two-wheeled vehicles.

It started in Italy, Innocenti first scooter, a model (M), comes off the production line in 1947. M is called the model has moved on, and since then, Lambretta's success grew and grew.
