There was a Vespa/Lambretta meetup in Cincinnati last weekend.

It was neat seeing 20+ scoots rolling around together. safety and fun in numbers.

If I had a scooter that fit their requirements, I'd probably love rolling around with them.

I had a Lambretta something or other when I was 15 in New Mexico, about ‘66 or ‘67. It was fun. But then I somehow talked my dad into buying me a used Suzuki 150. Tiny by adult standards but it was a twin cylinder and way faster than the Honda 90 type bikes that some of my friends had.

I sold the Lambretta for 60 bucks. Would love to have it back.

These were all the rage during the 60s since you could buy them at Sears where they were marketed as an Allstate. I remember driving one and taking a turn and hitting a spot of oil during a turn and flipping over. I was only going about 5 mph.

I picked it up and it started right up. But I sold it soon after. Hitting a pothole with such small tires was always an event.

Nice .

I have only ridden one once IIRC .

Super fun but IMO not safe due to the tiny wheels .
