Got this e-mail. Same stuff you may have seen on other scooter sites. This is how it concludes in case you haven’t read it yet:
Therefore, to make the improvements above (listed in e-mail), and others that we have also developed, a second completely re-engineered prototype is being prepared, also by Frank Sanderson of Lambretta Labs of U.K.
While our enthusiasts, dealers, and ourselves are disappointed by this delay, it is well worth the wait in order to get it right.
One good aspect of the delay is that we have gathered even more dealer and distributor prospects due to the success of the first tour.
We now have strong solicitations from U.K., Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, and S. Korea.
In addition, input from dealers and retail enthusiasts has been strong towards offering lower priced models such as the 125 cc Piaggio engine and a 150 cc water cooled CMSI engine. Testing is also being conducted on a 49 cc Piaggio PUREJet 2 stroke engine that should meet 2006 EPA regulations and Euro III emission standards.
So, when is the Series V coming to market? Its probably safe to say in 2006. But having been wrong before about estimating when the new project will be finished, it is only prudent to say…it will be ready when its ready…..Keep checking the website for the latest updates and keep the faith baby!
Good things take time…Lambretta went bankrupt in 1971….but, we can now see the date getting closer for its rebirth ….!
