Lambretta Model Lambro

Lambretta Lambro three wheeled vehicles.

Innocenti had always created three-wheelers with its engine scooters, from the first times when they began with the 125M line (later to become 'A'). Although there is images in the first A style flyer, it is believed that none were ever created. The FB is the first known three wheeled Lambretta to be created in Feb of 1949. They were known in Italia as 'Furgone' cars, and all the style variations were prefixed with an 'F'. All styles had their variation of the three-wheelers, FA?, FB, FC and FD, then when cabs were presented, they became FDC (the C for cabin).

FB

The FB had the same again end as the Model B, but with diminished gearing to take heavy a lot. As this was a inexpensive business automobile, most of the opera operate identified on the B scooter, was changed by displayed products. Guiding was through deal with bar, again like it's two wheeled table element, but it was very immediate, using supports and ball complete bones, all created it not very wonderful to generate. There was a selection of wooden or aluminum entry containers, or the FB could merely be bought 'chassis only'. In all by time development complete in Goal 1950, 2,001 FB's had been created, all in a Material Pink complete.

FC

Again as with the FB style, the superseding FC style was strongly using the C/LC scooter. The FC still maintained the scooter raise end, to a business entry end, unfortunately maintaining the difficult steering. The wheels were hydraulically run by a feet your pedal, and the power was transferred onto the structure, instead of within the box, creating repair simpler. The athletes on the FC style were created of aluminum, and there was now a selection of entry box selections to be had. Between November 1952 when development began, and when it stopped the following November in 1953, Innocenti created 3,001 FC's, showing there was a increasing industry for tiny inexpensive business cars.



FD

The first in the series of FD models, was the 125 FD, which instead of the earlier FB and FC models now had the commercial box at the rear, with a scooter front, like a traditional tricycle, making steering much easier. The FD had a very similar front end to the D scooter, except with stronger front forks and dampers. Because the engine was now in the middle of the scooter, the final drive was by means of prop shaft to the rear wheels. The second series FD125 started production in January 1954, with few changes over the first series. The handle bars had different Teleflex gear change, new light switch and horn button, along with minor alterations to the rear brakes. FD's had a choice of open or closed rear boxes. Between December 1952 and December 1953, 4,841 series one FD's were produced, with the series two production taking over in January 1954. Series two production stopped in August 1955, after 8,280 examples had been made.

A 150cc version was first introduced in August 1955, based on the second series of FD. The 150cc along with a larger carburettor gave a little more hp over its smaller sister. teleflex cables gave way to two gear cables (push-pull) on the 150 models, and rear springs were of the leaf design, allowing a load carrying capacity of 350kg's.

Few changes were made to the third series of FD models introduced in January 1953, mainly they were now only available in 150cc engine size. Epicyclical kick-starter was used, as in the later Model D scooters, and 10mm wheel studs were favoured instead of the 8mm earlier ones, making then stronger. Amazingly they had a turning circle of 1.75m, with no reverse gear though. A spare wheel was carried under the frame. The last series models, were very nice to drive and came with many different options for load carrying purposes. Production ceased in June 1959. with 6,570 examples be built. The series 3 FD was continuing to be sold into the sixties in the UK, as sales were very slow, probably due to the fact we do not share Italy's nice weather!

FDC

Although closely based on previous models FDC FD was now a closed cabin for the driver, and therefore the last term of his model, the car "C". The driver can now be protected from the elements, but if you want to have the doors, they were charged as an option from £ 12 10s 6d per pair on top of the price of £ 238 10s machine 0D. The FDC is still preserved handlebar scooter, but was wiper-type seat seats (elevator to allow access to the engine), side and rear indicators, reverse and manual selectable. These wipers are operated by pushing a lever inside the cabin from side to side! Manages startup and a variety of funds available from the trailer articulated barrels of paraffin, with its low operating costs, making these models very attractive for municipalities as they were marketed.
October 1957 and May 1959 were 12,118 examples of the Innocenti.



FLI175

With a FLI has reached a 175cc engine and four new transmission with reverse. At first, the cabin is kept close and the provision of first-hand how the handlebars FDC, nuts have been changed to that of a management standard motorcycle Li won a friction lining and knurled screws below that could be tightened in rough driving conditions to avoid the oscillation direction! Electric six volts, and FLI can have the optional windshield wipers with electric. The taillights of the backlight keeps the type D, but with a base of the bulb of a light braking. To be provided behind the cab to bring a USB port and the wheel, while the spare wheel is carried on a cot in the back. Since July 1959, 10 608 sets of a FLI were made when the two series resumed in July 1960

Another series of Innocenti FLI was the most successful three-wheeled products. A period of 71 681 specimens were amazing production extends for five years. The redesigned interior, now the same width of the rear compartment, the initial impetus was replaced earlier models of the boot. On the front of the car was new, wider fenders and lights and indicators. Behind was a bunch of lights, rear window blind, has been adapted for the screen.


Lambro 200

Lambro 200 has been the greatest engine of the Innocents to use their three wheels, a 200cc. Many things had changed over the FLI was the beginning of the most important of all piping runs behind, and taking into account the limits. The size of the tires and wheels were increased to 10 ", fork was completely redesigned, seemed to be put back in front, but was actually an advantage rather than after the link. The front shock absorbers, and a small pinch of where the speedometer and the choke knob, have been other improvements. The new tank was installed in less than a scooter, so you had to open the door to fill the tank!

Production was between June 1963 and July 1965, with 18,947 models in fact, many options boxes back or bare chassis available.

Lambro 450

The 450 Lambro taken important steps in a traditional car / truck cab. 12 volt authorized extras such as electric windscreen wipers, dashboard mounted warning lights and electric start are available.

Between October 1965 and April 1966 were 9541 models did. The 175cc engine that has allowed nearly 50 miles per hour it was released 7bhp. Maximum payload was an incredible 8821 pounds, which gave greater weight Lambro than wearing a mini-van, while being able to sweet butterfly over 100 miles per gallon.

Lambro 550

Production starts in August 1965, the 550 was the last old-fashioned Lambro. He had double headlights, indicators and marker lights combined grill, and the new chapel was detachable horn insignia on it. The engine is now a generator that was driven by a fan belt flywheel, stator plate with simply being one of the points associated with it. A control panel mounted on the electric start button was the most popular choice in the new 550.

Production ceased in March 1959 with 13,806 models built.

Lambro 500L

500L engine was installed behind the cab and the frame became welcome. 175cc engine and electric 12V dynomotor was the starter and charger, and have been added. Prop was very short, the rubber Donuts' is added to both ends of smooths everything. The new cabin heater in the exhibition, which was basically a hot-air engine, aimed at the cabin, the system may close the valve when it is not necessary.

Production was between June 1967 and February 1969, with 7758 events.

Lambro 550A

550A frame was pressed steel, but hit the holes to save weight. The rear fenders were attached to the frame, the rear cargo area can move freely.

Production between February 1968 February 1969 turned out to be 5906 samples.

Lambro 550V

The 550V moved to the rear-mounted engine, and now implemented an option for either the wheel or handlebars of direction. The interior has been redesigned for a more modern looking rectangular. Pedals have been moved to the floor for most of the control room has been decorated in a black painted finish. Again, a radiator system that featured a large diameter pipe from the head fairing the cabin, with movable flap to regulate heat.

8266 models were produced between February 1969 and December 1969.

Lambro 550M

The steering wheel was on one side, so now a passenger can be achieved, and if the option was taken from the steering wheel (you can always choose a handle), clutch and brake can be found on the floor. The boxes have hand cracks and were outfitted with steel middle and rear fender plastic.

2591 models were produced between March 1969 and December 1969



Lambro 500ML

500ml was available in two sizes 175 and 200cc engine. Very boxy shape and better fitting doors were all new to this model. The wheels were cast hub, and all finishes and coatings are black. The engine has been moved outside the cabin, to cut the noise and smell.

January 1970-November 1971 has seen 5128 models. Made ...


Lambro 600M

600M 11 372 models were produced in January 1970 and November 1971, and can load up to 600kg. M was only available as a handlebar of a scooter, which was popular because everyone did not want to drive a car. All three of the brake pedal and managed from a single stem by removing the front brake. Wall boxes are now available as an option fold, which loads to shed, and easy access to the engine and transmission. GP Style "i" sign was on the front

Lambro 600V

The final model produces life began in January 1970. The V was exactly the same as the model M, with the exception of automobiles, such as driving. He was taken back to allow a passenger. The carburetor is mounted on rubber between two rubber hoses. One went to the air filter the other to the collector.

Lifting points front and rear, heavy duty rear springs, hydraulic damping and further, had all the characteristics of the last three-wheeled scooters firing Innocents 25 years of production for all the different models.

The tool 600 series, were all sold scooters in India, and is still produced today.

Based on a three-wheel Lambretta frame, DJM3 Lambretta "Fire-Fly" was designed for plants, etc., fire fighting, civil protection, rescue, they can operate on the narrow bridge and the door of 2x CO2 2x dry powder, fire water pump 2x fire extinguishers, and two stretcher-scale 100-foot rope, monitor hood, fire axes, pliers, etc.. 175cc engine with a top speed of 48 mph and can travel 100 miles to 1.3 liters.

Lambretta model Moped

1959. The one stream hold type structure was light and firm, and used a 47.75cc website. When not being effective at 1.7bhp the two rate gearbox made the 48 capable of 31mph. A tiny gas container built into the structure, air narrow also located within the structure and 1 hold offered this tiny Lambretta the participant The first moped presented by Lambretta was the 48 II, which was released in The month of january the primary needs. The 48 could be used as a common cycle by disengaging the your pedal generate. A tiny device box was installed within the raise carrier, and the 48 came complete with a pump motor for the car tyres.

The 48 II was changed in 1966 by the Lambrettino, which saw the most basic website Lambretta created at just 39cc. Many inexpensive parts were used, such as website includes, front lights, and gas container Two rate, fully automated, this style even included a handle which diminished fatigue pressure by going the fatigue device, for reduce of starting. Company motivated, but not dark as per common Lambretta applications, and so Innocenti covered it through a series protect, spoked tires with looking hyperlinks were other features of the 'Lambrettiono' as the style was known. The Lambrettino was a very warrior town cycle, such were the styles simple requirements that raise suspensions was avoid, but instead the one hold was jumped for participant comfort.


The last style in the moped range was the Lambrettino SX, this came with a greater 49cc website. The SX style also obtained a form of CVT, regular adjustable tranny. The CVT used 2 pulleys that assorted across, these were linked by a plastic trapezoid gear. The size of the handle assorted according to the rate of the rim. Drive was then taken to the raise rim was through two organizations. The SX was very similar to the common Lambrettino with regards to looks and equipment. Plastic systems, no raise suspensions apart from the individuals hold all saw a primary style that was inexpensive and easy to use.

Lambretta J Range

During 1964 a completely new type of Lambrettas became available, the 'i' range (i for Innocenti) but because the 'i' logo looked remarkably like a J, it was mistakenly called the 'J' range (also there is no J in the Italian alphabet). A prototype of similar design was shown to the public over three years previous at the Milan motor show in 1961, although the final production example was a little different. It had an all steel pressed monocoque chassis, with centrally mounted engine similar in design to the L.i, but with a vertical cylinder. To start with three engine sizes were available, 50cc, 100cc and 125cc. The monocoque frame was smaller then all other families models of Lambretta, and it was thought the J range was primarily designed for ladies, being lightweight and using smaller stretch levers. The models had no horn cover (except the Starstream) a plastic tool box was fitted underneath the seat, and if this was taken out you could gain access to the air filter. The J range retained side panels to cover the engine bay, most were the handle type. Dependant on the model the J either had ne bench seat, one single, or twin singles. All trims were always grey on these models, again as with almost all other Lambrettas bar the stand feet and kick start pedal rubber which were black.

J50 

J50 was never brought in the UK by Lambretta concessionaires, although three models did arrive for evaluation. Starting in October 1964, the 50cc engine had a three speed gearbox, and an output of 1.47bhp gave it a 25mph top speed. Initial examples wore 10 inch wheels, but these were changed to 2.75*9. The J50 had a dual seat as standard, although to market the scooter as a budget form of transport, no speedo, leg shields beading, and no steering lock, while other changes were a much smaller rear light. Although this last item probably costed more, as in its place of that and where the number plate went was a fluted panel with a chrome J50 badge. As for the rest of the badging, a single piece Lambretta J50 badge was fitted to the leg shields, with a innocenti badge just below the headset.

The three speed version was replaced by a four speed model in September 1966, which retained most of the features of the three speed model. The main change was brought in November of the same year, with a new frame which was stronger, due to consumer fears from other models. To go with this a new thinner dual seat was fitted, trimmed leg shields, and a modified rear section. The four speed model gained no extra speed form its extra gear however, still capable of 25 miles an hour.

The J50 4 speed was replaced in January 1968 by the J50 De Luxe, which reverted back to a three speed gearbox. The De Luxe sported a single front seat, with a rear rack in place of passenger carrying capabilities. The leg shields got trims on this model, being chrome surround. The side panel handles were now defunct, being replaced with a clip on type, as found on the larger bodied machines of that time. The flooring was changed from the earlier plastic floor strips, to alloy channels with rubber inserts again as the larger bodied machines. Other changes were using 3.00*10 tyre sizes, with aluminum grey colour painted rims, and hubs. The J50 badging was retained on the leg shields, but the side panels gained a De Luxe badge panel flashes on either side, similar to those found on the SX models of that time.

J100 & J125 

The 'Cento', as it names suggests is 100cc, or 98cc with the factory name being J98, while a bigger engine version was simply called the J125, being of course 125cc. Both models were a monocoque frame, pressed from steel, with two side panels and no horn casting. Both were equipped with a dual seat, vertical cylinder engine fairly similar in design to the Li range, but with a 3 speed gearbox. Rear suspension again was joined to the engine as per larger frame models, with front mounts which allowed the unit to pivot. How ever the spring and damper unit were two seperate items, and the engine mounts were not really capable of offering riders a smooth ride, as most machines tend to vibrate. Front suspension was trailing link with springs inside the front forks, the links sat on bolt in rubber buffers. 3.00*10 tyres were fitted with finned drum brakes front and rear. The 98cc model produced 4.7hp which gave it a top speed of 46mph, while the 125cc output was 5.8bhp and a speed of 54mph saw both models capable of staying with the larger framed models in terms of top speed. The J100 production was stopped in November 1965 with 17,642 examples being made, while the J125 lasted a little longer until October 1966. All in all although the J range models were not a huge success, it proved Innocenti were prepared to diversify in order to satisfy customers, and improve profit and sales of their products.

J125 Starstream & Super Starstream 

In a bid to keep the J range alive Innocentis next model was the Starstream, launched in May 1966. Although very similar to the J100/125 a redesign saw the Starstream gain a turning front mudguard, trimmed down from leg shields for streamlining, a new seat mounting, and a bolt horn casting, although with nothing underneath it! Early examples retained the handle type side panels, later models gained the clip on type. Bolt in fork buffers were replaced by clip in items. Engine wise it was basically a J125 but with four speeds, paint was two tone, with the side panels and horn cast gaining the second colours of either red or blue. The main body could be chosen in blue, silver, metallic blue, white or yellow. A chromed start badge with 125 inside it was fitted to the leg shields.

With the change to four speeds, the Starstream and Super Starstream had pretty good acceleration and a top speed of 55mph. The Starstream and Super Starstream were built along side each other with the end being signalled in April 1966 when production stopped.
