The LML Star is a motor scooter manufactured under license by LML ( Lohia Machinery Limited ) in India , which looks like the Vespa PX . The main difference between the scooter and the Vespa PX is the use of four-stroke engines in most models.

designation

The original version of the scooter was known as LML NV from 1986 to 1994 . After successful further development since 1995, an LML Star model appeared for the first time in 1997 . This is still the sales name for the European market today. In North America and Thailand , the scooter models carry the sales name LML Stella , in the United Kingdom LML Via Toscana and in New Zealand LML Bella Donna . In Delhi and Ghaziabad , the modernized NV scooter with four-stroke engine is now sold as the LML Speedy .

Model overview

There are different engines to choose from. All newer models have a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear . The sheet steel chassis differs between the 200 cm 3 version and the smaller models with 125 cm 3 or 150 cm 3 or 151 cm 3 .

The first Star appeared in 1995, at that time still with 110 cm 3 in cooperation with Piaggio. The 125 cm 3 model followed in 1996, and the first 150 cm 3 variant a year later . After Piaggio sold its company shares to LML at the end of 1999, LML retained the rights to the scooter technologies that had been transferred to date and continued to develop the model series.

When the plant closed in February 2006, production of the LML Star was initially discontinued. After reopening in March 2008, the company initially concentrated on the production of the successful Star models, especially for export. The installation of four-stroke engines in particular made the vehicles interesting abroad.

The Star 125 4T Automatica with continuously variable Variomatic transmission has been sold since 2013 . The gearbox is an in-house development of the Italian supplier Adler SpA. The engine and gearbox are located on the rear left in these versions, so that, unlike the manual gearbox versions, no spare wheel can be carried under the rear left wheel cover. The Star 150 4T Automatica , which was offered in India in February 2014, is currently (as of May 2014) not available through official German sales.

The production of an LML Star with a 250 cm 3 engine is being considered.
