Innocenti Lambretta Lui 50 CL, 1969, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the second half of the 60s<\/strong> the choice of making economical and practical vehicles was the best one to overcome the crysis of the motorcycle industry.
\nIn fact Piaggio<\/strong> unveiled the\u00a0Ciao<\/strong><\/a> in 1967, <\/strong>a two-wheeler suitable for a large clientele thanks to its simplicity and exploitability. Innocenti in the meantime designed an economical yet finely designed<\/strong> scooter. From Bertone<\/strong>‘s pencil, the Lui<\/strong> was born, a vehicle with a modern styling that winked at young people.
\nInitially powered by the Lambretta J 50<\/em> engine with a 3-speed<\/strong> gearbox, the Lui was produced in two versions, C<\/strong> and CL. <\/strong>The latter had a different handlebar<\/strong> and front headlamp<\/strong>.
\nSoon after it will be joined by the Lui 75,<\/strong> with a bigger engine and 4-speed<\/strong> transmission.
\nInnocenti’s modern scooter was sold at 89.500<\/strong> Lire, a price that coupled with its styling made it an interesting choice on the market.
\nAccomplice the low performance of the 50cc engine and the lack of accessories like hooks, luggage rack, spare wheel etc…, the Lui did not reach a high volume of sellings adn the production was stopped just a year later, in 1969.<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
