The Lambretta Model B was the second production scooter built by Innocenti. It was launched in November 1948 in place of the Model A, after a long period of development, and it brought eight inch wheels for stability, handlebar gear control and proper rear suspension. Like the Model A it was sold only in the open style, with the engine and frame visible, rather than the enclosed bodywork that later made the closed scooters more popular. The timeline of Italian models dates the Model B from 1948 to 1950, and the Model C of 1950 took over the basic concept. It belongs to the early Lambrate period of the brand, when Innocenti was still building up its scooter production.
