Lambretta X300 headed Down Under

The new Lambretta X300 scooter will arrive on Australian shores at the end of March, with an attractive price tag.

Checking in at $9990 ride way, the X300 is powered by a 275cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine and rolls on a tubular steel frame and 12-inch rims with IRC tyres.

Also featured is double arm-link front suspension and dual shock absorbers at the rear, a single 220mm brake disc at the front and a single 219mm disc at the rear, and dual-channel ABS.

The X300 also has LED lighting, keyless ignition, and an analogue-digital instrument cluster with basic readouts.

In terms of design, the X300 blends classic and modern influences for a neo-retro style look. Lambretta itself calls the scooter “The Neo Mod”, presumably a reference to the mod subculture of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, in which participants often rode Lambretta or Vespa scooters.

Lambretta Australia is offering the X300 in four colour schemes – White Latte, Mustard Yellow, Amero Red, and Gemma White.
