For nearly every application, there is the right, period correct and perfect looking Lambretta seat available. Standard seats for the spot-on restoration, sport seats to go with the racing style or just a personal touch. The Pegasus, the standard seats, and their derivation should leave nothing to be desired.
England was the only market where Lambretta sales exceeded Vespa sales. The main reason for this is the excellent marketing strategy of the Lambretta Concessionaires. The success story of the Lambretta is documented in Stuart Owen’s book about the Lambretta Concessionaires extensively and in great detail (SC article no. 3332513). Besides special models, special colour combinations, there was also the Pegasus seat. This was used on the Rallymaster, Series 2, TV 175 and GT (TV) 200 models. During the production, there were different versions and specifications. All our Pegasus seats are handmade in Italy. The frame is pressed from metal, the upholstery is made from high quality foam and also otherwise corresponds to the original. The Pegasus with it’s metal frame and sponge is regarded as one of the most comfortable seats by many.
The standard seats that we offer are all handmade in Italy. They came as complete units consisting of frame and cover fitted. Beside the standard seats there are also slightly variations available. Like the bgmone with Alfatex sides that is clearly a homage to one of the existing Lambretta SX 200 Twincylinder prototypes. The seat cover for this is also available on it’s own to fit on Series 3 standard seat frames.
All our seat covers are sourced from Vittorio’s Casa Lambretta or exclusively mad for us in Italy. Fitting these to an existing frame is easy, but you should be prepared to take some time and a helping hand can also be an advantage.
A good idea on standard seat covers is to incorporate the seat cushion foam from bgm, this makes the seats more comfortable and nicer to use on long distance riding.
We think that we stock all the parts to restore a seat frame properly. From the locking hook to the complete spring set and rubber components. And –sorry if this gets boring- all sourced in Italy.
The badge with INNOCENTI was used until the year 1968. From 1968 until the dl / GP range turned up the reading showed LAMBRETTA INNOCENTI. With the dl / GP range there was a big writing of LAMBRETTA on it.
