sidecar LI225

We acquired this scooter on Ebay some time ago and decided to use it as a shop run around for local deliveries. It was restored at weekends and evenings and fortunately the bodywork was quite straight to start with. The sidecar needed to have the fibreglass gel coat and a few cracks sorted out. It was treated to an RLC Lambretta wheel conversion and a massive battery was added to a specially made holder inside the sidecar itself. TV175 Series 2 fork links and front hub back plate were added on the front and an original Pegasus seat for comfort. The 225cc engine was fitted as the original unit was just so slow it was unreal. Now the outfit runs and rides beautifully and just pulls, and pulls, and pulls. This characteristic earned it the nickname of "the turbine". It rides like a go kart and subsequently has even been used for long distance touring for several Italian scooter rallies. It'll sit all day at 60mph and the grin factor of riding this outfit is enormous. A few choice NOS accessories were added along with a set of one - off Ulma style crashbars for the actual sidecar, to compliment the original front mudguard bumper on the actual scooter.
