Innocenti started production of Lambretta scooters in 1947, the year after Piaggio started production of its Vespa models. The Lambretta 48 moped was first introduced in August 1955 during the heyday of the LD scooter. Also known in Italy as The ‘Ribot’ it had 2 speeds and rear spring suspension. The pedals are used to start the moped and there is a knob on the right side to disengage the engine. To apply the brakes the ride had to back pedal. Despite the small petrol tank the 48 was able to cover 120 miles on a full tank.
An older full restoration that has now mellowed nicely. Our vendor states that it will start up and run with little effort.
