NAME: DRAGSTER (ITALJET)

Where Innovation Meets Attitude

In the UK, where scooter culture runs deep, the Italjet Dragster has carved out a space as one of the boldest and most unique machines on two wheels. Launched in the late '90s, the original Dragster caught the attention of British riders with its exposed steel trellis frame, radical styling, and high-performance two-stroke engines—especially the blistering 180cc model. It wasn’t just a scooter; it was a statement.

Designed by Italjet’s founder Leopoldo Tartarini, the Dragster arrived at a time when the UK scooter scene was thriving, with custom builds, club rides, and rally weekends all part of the lifestyle. While it didn’t have the classic curves of a Lambretta or Vespa, the Dragster won fans for its aggressive attitude and futuristic engineering, including the standout hub-centre steering, more commonly seen on exotic motorcycles.

Fast-forward to the 2020s, Italjet reignited interest with a reborn Dragster—available in 125cc and 200cc four-stroke models. These new versions stick closely to the original’s DNA, but bring modern tech like Brembo brakes, liquid cooling, and Euro 5-compliant engines. The styling is sharper than ever, making it a head-turner whether it’s at a UK scooter rally, urban ride-out, or parked outside your local café.

For UK scooterists who want something that screams individuality while delivering performance and precision, the Italjet Dragster is hard to beat. It’s not retro—it’s rebellious.

NAME: LAMBRETTA

A Timeless British Scooter Icon

In the UK, few scooters carry the cultural weight and style of the Lambretta. Born in post-war Italy, Lambretta quickly became a symbol of freedom and rebellion—especially in Britain during the 1960s Mod movement. While Italian by origin, the Lambretta truly found its spiritual home in the UK, where it became more than just a mode of transport—it became a lifestyle.

Throughout the '50s and '60s, British youth adopted Lambrettas as their vehicle of choice, personalising them with chrome accessories, mirrors, lights, and custom paint jobs. It wasn’t just about going from A to B—it was about doing it in style. Scooter rallies, seaside ride-outs, and Mod vs Rocker showdowns cemented Lambretta’s place in British subculture.

Today, that legacy is alive and well. Modern Lambrettas, available through www.lambretta.com, blend retro styling with modern engineering. Models like the V-Special range offer timeless lines, steel bodywork, and contemporary features like LED lighting, disc brakes, and fuel injection. While they pay tribute to the originals, they’re built to handle modern roads and riders.

Across the UK, Lambrettas remain a staple at scooter rallies from Brighton to Blackpool. Clubs, ride-outs, and weekender events still celebrate the brand’s enduring appeal. Whether you’re restoring a vintage Series 3 or riding a brand-new V200, Lambretta represents pride, passion, and identity on two wheels.

NAME: LML

Classic Looks with Everyday Reliability

LML scooters have become a solid favourite in the UK scootering scene, offering classic Vespa-inspired styling with modern reliability. Built in India under license from Piaggio, LML (Lohia Machinery Limited) produced models that stayed true to the timeless look of the iconic PX, but added thoughtful upgrades that appealed to British riders looking for everyday usability without losing that vintage charm.

In the UK, LML gained popularity through the 2000s and early 2010s with their Star range—available in both 2-stroke and 4-stroke options. The appeal was simple: classic metal-bodied scooters with manual gears, affordable price tags, and fewer of the quirks often associated with older machines. For many, LMLs became a gateway into the world of classic scootering without the hassle of full restorations.

The LML Star Deluxe in particular struck a chord with UK scooterists, especially those who wanted the Mod look or the scooter rally feel without breaking the bank. With parts compatibility largely matching Vespa PX models, maintenance and customisation were easy for British mechanics and DIY riders alike.

While LML production ceased in 2017, the brand still has a strong following in the UK. Many machines are still on the road, regularly seen at rallies and ride-outs, and supported by parts suppliers and scooter clubs. Whether you're a new rider or a veteran looking for a budget-friendly classic, LML still holds its own.

Royal Alloy’s strong UK dealership network, parts availability, and growing community support have made it a go-to choice for those who want Lambretta looks with modern-day rideability.

NAME: SCOMADI

British Soul, Italian Style

Scomadi scooters are a modern British twist on classic Italian design—created for riders who love the vintage aesthetic but want today’s performance and reliability. Born from the vision of two British scooterists, Frank Sanderson (Scooter Innovation Ltd) and Paul Melici (PM Tuning), Scomadi was designed to bring back the style of the iconic Lambretta with a fresh, modern edge.

Scomadi first made waves in the UK with the TL125 and TL200, sleek retro-styled scooters that echoed the lines of classic Lambrettas but with modern materials and four-stroke engines. These scooters were particularly popular with younger riders and rally-goers who wanted the look without the maintenance headaches of older machines. Lightweight, reliable, and customisable, Scomadis quickly earned their place at rallies from Brighton to Bridlington.

The launch of the Scomadi Turismo Technica (TT) range saw further development with improved handling, updated frames, and new tech, all while maintaining that unmistakable silhouette. Scomadi scooters are now being developed and assembled in the UK, making them a point of pride for British scootering.

For UK scooterists, Scomadi offers a unique blend of heritage and innovation. Whether you're into ride-outs, club life, or just want a stylish commuter, Scomadi delivers a scooter that looks the part and performs with confidence.

NAME: VESPA

An Icon on UK Roads

Few scooters carry the prestige and history of Vespa, and in the UK, the name is legendary. Since the 1950s, Vespa has been more than just transport—it’s been a statement of style, freedom, and identity. From the Mod era of the 1960s to today’s modern urban commuters, Vespas have left an unmistakable mark on British culture.

In the early days, UK riders embraced models like the Vespa GS160 and Rally 200, drawn to their elegant curves, reliable engines, and European flair. Vespas became the go-to machine for Mods, often dressed up with mirrors, chrome accessories, and Union Jacks. Today, vintage Vespas are still a staple at British scooter rallies, with clubs dedicated to restoring and riding these Italian classics.

Modern Vespa scooters, like the Primavera, GTS, and Sprint, offer updated performance while retaining that unmistakable Vespa silhouette. With options ranging from 50cc to 300cc, there's a Vespa for every rider—whether you’re zipping through city traffic or heading to the seaside for a weekend rally.

Vespa UK's presence remains strong thanks to a network of dealers, accessories, and a passionate community. From London to Liverpool, Brighton to Blackpool, Vespa continues to represent timeless design with everyday practicality.

Whether you're riding a vintage 2-stroke or a new-generation GTS 300, Vespa in the UK is a lifestyle as much as a ride.
