Hey, thanx for all the info here...it came down to $$$ and what I was willing to put out for a scooter. I have always had big bikes but wanted the mpg of a scooter. The Rattler 110 was at the top of the list since I didn't like the look of the "Cat". Well, I took so much time the new Lambretta DUE50 (2 stroke) came in and they gave me a great price for being thier first sale...plus I know them from racing at this shop. $2300.00 Total (TT&L included). I got the Platinim(silver) version. Supposed to get about 80+ mpg and that is what I was looking for...I really like the look and fit (plenty of leg room). Like most of the small 2 stokes it is really built in Taiwan but the styling is to my taste. The double headlight look is cool BUT only the bigger bottom light actually works...but I am going to add an LED light set up off a Bicycle (hardly any draw at all) to complete the front...I wish I could find a good Lambretta Forum like this one but they are mostly for the older scoots.

Darby,
congrats on your purchase !
I have to say, last I saw a Lambretta was 20 years ago and the new ones sure don't look like anything from the past. Is it still even the same company or did a Taiwanese company just bought the name to achieve instant brand recognition?
In any case, enjoy your scooting !

They are still making, or remaking the old steel body scooters, but this is the other line. Not Vespa, Genuine,Lambretta Vintage...more like Rattler, Buddy, DUE modern CVT scooters. It is definitely Taiwan built. I will say that I got 114.1 mpg on the first fillup
