Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal first vehicle for brand-new riders or commuters who have never operated a motorized two-wheeler before.
PurposeBuilt purely for short, low-speed urban errands and light commuting rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts light weight, low seat height, and automatic transmission make it extremely easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA charming, retro-styled runabout that prioritizes simplicity, style, and effortless puttering over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone wanting highway travel, touring, spirited cornering, or off-road capability given its 48 km/h top speed and tiny 50cc two-stroke engine.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 787mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Lambretta Uno 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
