An inquiry into Motorcycle
In 1972, Scooters India Limited bought over the plant and machinery, design, documentation, copyright from Innocenti of Italy which produces the Lambretta. The company possesses the world right of the trade name LAMBRETTA / LAMBRO.
The scooter was produced from 1975 to 1997. The company now focused on producing 3-wheelers.

The Lambretta was a line of motor scooters manufactured in Milano (Milan), Italy. The name Lambretta comes from the name of a small river (Lambro) in Milan, near the factory.
I first learn of Lambretta from the Motorcycle Philippines. Impressed by their excitment, I dug further.
Here is a summary from Wikipedia.
The Innocenti company started producing Lambretta scooter after World War II in 1947 and production ceased in 1971. Lambrettas were also manufactured under licence in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India and Spain, sometimes under other names but always with a recognizable design (e.g. Siambretta in South America and Serveta in Spain).
The Indian government bought the factory after the company went into financial difficulties in 1972. Scooters India Ltd. , a state-run enterprise, produced scooters up till 1998. Now the company produces a 3-wheeler pick-up truck powered by the Lambretta engine.
Like Vespas, Lambrettas have 3 or 4 gears and two stroke motors with capacities ranging from 49cc to 198cc.
Today Vespa and Lambrettas attracted an ecclectic following of “revival” mods, collectors and scooterists. Many owners customize these scooters with elaborate customizations and paintwork.
More of the Lambretta history from the Cambridge Lambretta Workshops.
GS MotorWorks is founded in 2000 in the US as an American scooter and ATV company.
GS MotorWorks scooters can be separated in two big categories: Sport scooters (Sport, Riptide, Alien, Euro and Wasp) and Retro scooters (Retro, Vespa 1961 and Sinclair).
It looks this these guy subcontract the manufacturering or import the scooters from China and selling under their label.
I drop by Mike’s Bikes in the Fast Lane and what did I found?
