Lambretta Lui 50 & 75
(like Luna, Vega & Cometa)

With the Lui, the Junior series faces competition from within the company. The Lui was intended to secure the lower end of the market segment. In order to save costs in production, the scooter was to be considerably slimmed down and reduced to the essentials. To ensure that the whole project did not look like this, a renowned design house was engaged in the form of Bertone, who also produced an avant-garde design for the Lui and Vega. To this day, Lui and Vega look as fresh as they did in spring 1968, when the slogan "All for Lui, and Lui for all" was used to advertise them.

The frame consists of a rear and front part. The front part consists of the usual tubular frame, while the rear part is pressed. The suspension was adapted from the Junior series. The brake drums are made entirely of steel to ensure good road holding. The mechanical system was adopted from the Junior series.

Lui 50 C
The 50 C was the basic model. The handlebars are reminiscent of bicycle handlebars and the front and rear lights also have conventional shapes.

Lui 50 CL
The handlebars of the 50 CL are cast and the headlight is integrated into them. The rear light of the 50 CL is somewhat reminiscent of the Hella rear light of the German Vespa GS 160. Overall, the Lui 50 CL looks like the Lunar Rover.

Lui 50 S
The Lui 50 S was only offered on export markets. It had a double seat, a license plate holder, an up-and-over exhaust and different lettering.

Lui 75 S & SL
Just a few months after the debut of the Lui 50, Innocenti was the only European exhibitor to present the Lui 75 at the 15th Motor Show in Tokyo. The Lui 75 was available in two versions: S and SL. Compared to the 50 cc models, the 75s had a more powerful electrical system that powered the high beam and rear brake light. Like the 50 S, the 75s had a double seat and the up-and-over exhaust. The engine produced 5.2 hp and accelerated quite well thanks to the four-speed gearbox.

The main difference between the S and the SL is the Lubematic, which the SL has. This is a separate lubrication system that was fitted as standard for the first time on an Italian scooter.

Both variants were only available in two colors, orange and metallic grey. The only obvious difference between the S and SL is the Lubematic sticker on the tank and the lettering on the leg shield.

Lui 50 C, CL - 1st version
(March 1968 to early 1969)

Lambretta lettering on the left of the leg plate above the 50 C or CL, brake and clutch lever without balls at the end, chrome-plated grille behind the front headlight

Lui 50 C, CL - 2nd version
(early 1969 to December 1970)

No more Lambretta lettering on the leg shield. Rectangular Lui lettering in the center of the leg shield. Brake and clutch levers with balls, chrome-plated grille behind the headlight with Innocenti lettering. On a few vehicles, there was also a small Innocenti logo above the Lui emblem.
