Lambretta Vs Vespa

What classic scooter are you riding this weekend? There is a good chance that it is either a Lambretta or a Vespa and that your choice today is based more upon your heart than your head.

But what about the scooter riders of the 1960s, what did they base their decisions on? How did they decided whether a Vespa or Lambretta was the best commuter scooter for them?

In edition 27 of ScooterNova magazine we go back to 1966 and road-test two 150cc scooters to see what was on offer in the showrooms at that time. We took a Vespa Sprint and Lambretta ‘Pacemaker’ out for a ride and compared them back to back. Economy, performance, features, security, cost…

What did we think?
