Lambretta USA Cufflinks

Lambretta USA cufflinks. Anti-allergic and enamelled rhodium-plated steel cufflinks.

Lambretta was a line of scooter produced in Milan, Italy since the late 1940s by the Innocenti company.

Along with the Vespa, this vehicle was an icon of the 50s and 60s when it was adopted in the United Kingdom by the youth culture of the mods. It is known as The eternal runner-up since it could not displace the Vespa. The Lambretta, unlike the Vespa, which has the engine on the side and rear (attached to the wheel), has it in the center of the motorcycle, which gives it greater lateral balance (the Vespa weighs more on one side than the other ) as a better distribution of weight between the wheels (more grip at the front), however, to house the engine in the center a longer wheelbase was necessary, which makes it less maneuverable in the city.
