Lambretta (Innocenti) E 125
Description
Lambretta E & F 125
With its very low sales price, the Model E was meant to offer a cheap step into the world of Lambretta scooters. To keep the cost down, the design was much simplified compared to the model C or D.
The frame is shaped like a C. The tank is mounted underneath the rider's saddle while a toolbox is fitted under the pillion seat. Due to the simple construction of the frame, the model E is quite light, with many parts simply welded directly to the frame rather than bolted on, like the rear-light and the license-plate holder. The legshields are shortened and resemble the shape of the model D.
The completely new engine had a crank that was fitted longitudinally to reduce the complexity of the transmission. To start the engine, neither kickstart nor electric starter were fitted. Instead, the E was started via a pull-string similar to that of a lawn-mower. To ease the starting procedure, the ignition timing could be altered manually to stop the engine from backfiring.
The rear suspension was via torsion bar as used in the model D. The front forks however received a leading link suspension with several c-shaped springs and rubber buffers. As the starting mechanism caused frequent problems, the E was soon superseded by the model F, which featured a more conventional kickstart. This was also available as an accessory for the model E, which needed the floorboards cut to fit one reason why unmodified model Es are rather rare nowadays. Power output of the 125cc engine is similar to that of the model D, so that the lightweight E had very good performance and consumption figures to balance the problems with the starting system. Still the budget models were rather unsuccessful and production ceased after
43.352 model E and 32.701 model F respectively.
