Lambretta Model F

The Lambretta Model F was the 125 cc scooter that Innocenti produced from March 1954 to April 1955, and the official Lambretta classics page describes it as a lot like the Model E but with the pull start replaced by a kick start. The same page records 32,701 scooters produced, a three speed hand controlled gearbox, a top speed of 70 km/h, a weight of 60 kg and a price of 112,000 lire. The earliest examples were Model E scooters converted to the F version by replacing the starter mechanism, the floorboards and the transmission casing, and the frame number on those still carries the letter E. From the middle of 1954 the official version II brought a D type front fork, a raised handlebar and an external ignition coil and capacitor. In the timeline of Italian models the Model F is the last of the early 125 cc scooters before the TV and Li series.
