  • LMLs copy of the classic Vespa PX125
  • Re-badged with Vespa and Piaggio emblems
  • Fitted with a rear carrier, supplied with a V5C

Lohia Machinery Limited, more commonly known as LML, manufactured scooters in the Indian city of Kanpur and from the early 1980s produced Vespas under licence from Piaggio Italy. In 1998 they sold an impressive 325,000 scooters as the economic boom in India created a need for motorised mobility for millions of workers. The official partnership with Piaggio finished in 1999 but LML continued to produce scooters based very heavily on the classic Vespa PX range. As Piaggio themselves gave up on traditional two-stroke geared scooters due to emission regulations LML had a new lease of life, even managing to squeeze a four-stroke engine into the original PX style steel bodied chassis. After sales dropped in later years the company gave up on petrol-engined products and began developing battery-powered alternatives.

This LML Star Deluxe, being offered at 'no reserve', is part of a deceased estate and was one of the vendor's last purchases after a lifetime spent on two wheels. LMLs are a very close copy of the Italian-made Vespas, even down to the spacing of the badge mounting holes, and like many others, it has been re-badged with 'Piaggio' and 'Vespa' emblems. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning and comes fitted with a rear fold-down chrome carrier, a spare wheel and a current V5C.
