Lambretta Junior 100

In 1964, Innocenti launched the Junior series and with it a completely new family of scooters. The simple scooters were intended to attract new groups of buyers at a lower price.

The concept of the vehicles has some similarities with Piaggio vehicles. For example, the chassis is self-supporting and access to the air filter is located under the driver's seat beneath a small plastic tub. The engine, on the other hand, is located centrally in the frame and is clearly based on the design of the Li engines. The cylinder of the Juniors is different. Depending on the model, a seat bench, a single seat or two single seats were installed.

The engine is hidden under side covers, most of which had external locking levers. The rubber parts were completely gray, except for the kickstarter and stand feet, which were also black.

J100
The Cento was the first vehicle in the J series to appear. This was a small mistake on Innocenti's part. The market research had made a small mistake, according to which an engine with 98 cc would have the highest sales potential in various markets. This turned out to be wrong and was soon followed by the J125. Both the Cento and the J125 had a double seat, three-speed gearbox and 3.00-10" tires. The Cento produced 4.7 hp and scratched the 80 km/h barrier, while the J125 broke the 80 km/h barrier with 5.8 hp.
By November 1965, 17,642 of the Cento had been built, while 21,651 of the J125 had been built by October 1966.
