Scooterotica

If they release a geared 250+ scooter I'll start saving. Auto doesn't appeal to me but I wonder if there's a stack of those italjet formula twin engines sitting in a lockup somewhere. That twin engine always seemed sweet to me and would tempt me down the auto route. I bet the machinery to build those twin engines is gathering dust somewhere if it hasn't been scrapped. No better company than pm to remanufacture those with more cc. It would mirror the lambretta story too, history repeating itself.

Yes mate. https://flic.kr/s/aHskwSkX4q for the full album though ive swapped the battery and regulator on the back of the toolbox now due to swapping the GT manifold to the kickstart side.

There only 113 cc and the cranks are notoriously weak theres no up gear kit for them either

Never knew those facts about the italjet twin engine. After my post I was thinking that emissions might be a problem if they were ever going to run with them but after reading your post I'm thinking there's a few other things that need sorting first!

how long until someone puts a lambretta engine in a scomandi ?

Can't see a tl200 sitting at 75mph all day long still with guts to overtake . Maybe 70 thrashing the pants off it down hill
