That looks nice.

And the Lambretta as well.

Are these made in China now?

As for Jialing Vespa, I might as well just stop by their factory and ask them personally.

[Kennon]

the Lambretta is made by SYM in Taiwan who baught some rights to the name

Ahhh I see. Man do they have a lot of scooters.

[Kennon]

SYM sell a few varying scooters they are pretty much all based on Honda designs as they helped sYM get off the ground originally iv still to see a new Lambretta on the roads despite being out for a year already but saying that i live out in the countryside when im not at university so not the most scooter friendly environment perhaps i will see some when i go to london this weekend love seeing all the scooters going about there business in the capital

felix abit off topic but how viable are electric scoots over in china?
the range and price still puts people off here

They're the most common thing on the roads here (except for jerks). Petrol driven bikes are banned in most cities but for some reason electrics go uncontrolled so everybody and their mistress has one. They're dirt cheap and almost all residential complexes have charging banks in the parking lot.

Mine cost less than 500 euros, does 65kph (GPS tested) with a 40km range and is perfect for the city.



Love that new lambretta!

Felix - Off-topic but are you the one behind Xian Sideways?

[felix]

I'm not the owner of the company, but i'm the guy running it. Any questions? Wanna do a tour?

(sorry for hijacking!)

iv seen these little retro style scooters about around my area i think its like a chinese take on the modern vespa
there called Baotion monza's come in either 50cc or 125
Baotian Monza 125.jpgquite a few colours aswell which makes a change for teh baotian brand as they normally just sell a coot in one colour combination only

[thewizardofahhhs]

Felix - When I eventually get to Xian, I'll look you up. Xian seems so far away.

Kennon - I've never heard of Baotian. Are they reliable? The scooter looks like a panda. Reminds of the Geely Panda car.
