The original amphibious scooter was developed in England in the 60s. He received a rudder and blades, as well as fiberglass floats.
The motorcycle museum in the Italian town of Cingoli hosts an interesting exhibition of the Lambretta Amphi-Scooter. According to the Autoevolution website, this is the only amphibious scooter in the world.
The amphibious moped was developed in the mid-60s by British scooter dealer Lambretta. Designer Rex White oversaw its creation. They tested the prototype at sea near Portsmouth and presented it at the Brighton Motor Show in 1965. It remained in one copy.
Based on a 1964 Lambretta J125 scooter supported by folding fiberglass floats on the sides. In addition, he received a paddle drive for movement in the water, and a boat rudder was attached to the front wing.
The original Lambretta Amphi-Scooter has been lost and has not survived, so a carefully reconstructed copy is on display in the museum. It was built on the basis of the same Lambretta J125, using the surviving plans.
The job took 700 hours and cost 20,000 euros. The finished amphibious moped was tested on the lake in Cingoli.
