At our workshop, restoring
classic Vespa and Lambretta
scooters to their original
beauty and peak functionality is
not just a process - it’s a
passion honed over
30 years of experience.
Our skilled mechanics and
craftsmen apply meticulous
attention to detail and
unrivaled expertise to every
step of the restoration.
Step 1: Disassembly and
Initial Quality Inspection
The restoration begins by
completely stripping the scooter
down to its bare metal frame.
Each component is carefully
examined, and any part showing
signs of weakness or damage is
replaced immediately. Only the
strongest and highest-quality
parts are selected for
reintegration into the restored
scooter.
The metal parts then undergo a
high-temperature firing process
in our kiln. This stage serves
as an additional quality control
measure, exposing any weak or
defective materials that may not
withstand the rigors of use.
Even the smallest imperfections
are identified and discarded.
This stringent process ensures
the structural integrity of the
scooter, providing a foundation
for safe and long-lasting
performance.
Step 2: Painting and
Surface Protection
Surface Preparation
The bare metal frame is treated
with a rust protection layer to
safeguard against corrosion.
Next, a specialized powder
coating is applied to both sides
of the metal. This coating,
sourced exclusively from
ICI Corporation, serves
multiple purposes:
-
Preventing rust formation.
-
Filling minor dents and
surface imperfections.
-
Creating a smooth and
flawless base for the final
paint layers.
Our powder coating method is
particularly effective in
addressing internal surfaces,
where rust often originates. The
protective layer forms a robust
bond with the subsequent paint
coats, ensuring a durable and
long-lasting finish.
Painting Process
In a controlled, dust-free paint
room with a waterfall curtain,
our expert painters begin
applying the primary paint
layers. We use
automotive-grade paint,
identical to that used by
leading car manufacturers, for
its durability and vibrant
finish. Both the inner and outer
surfaces of the scooter are
painted to ensure comprehensive
protection.
The final layer is a specialized
2K coating, which
imparts a brilliant, lustrous
finish while providing scratch
resistance. Once painted, the
parts are sent to our baking
room, where they undergo curing
using magnetic waves and high
temperatures. This process
cross-links the paint molecules,
resulting in a robust and glossy
surface that can withstand years
of use.
Step 3: High-Quality
Replacement Parts
We use only genuine, OEM
(Original Equipment
Manufacturer) parts sourced from
India, Italy, Germany,
Taiwan, and other trusted
suppliers. This guarantees the
quality and authenticity of
every restoration. Replacement
parts include:
-
Brakes, axles, bearings,
seals, and hub caps.
-
Tires, tubes, fuel systems,
and electrical components.
-
Lighting systems, locks,
speedometers, horns, and
emblems.
-
Exhaust systems,
suspensions, carburetors,
cylinders, and pistons.
-
Modern upgrades like 12V
CDI, flywheels, and voltage
regulators.
Step 4: Reassembly and
Expert Inspection
Once the painting and component
replacement stages are complete,
the scooter is meticulously
reassembled under the
supervision of our senior
mechanics. Every detail is
scrutinized by our patriarch, a
master craftsman with over
30 years of restoration
experience. His sharp
eye ensures that no flaw,
however minor, escapes
detection.
Step 5: Road Testing and
Final Adjustments
The assembled scooter undergoes
rigorous testing, including a
100-kilometer road test
performed by independent riders.
Their honest feedback, even on
the smallest issues, is critical
in refining the final product.
Any defects are promptly
addressed and retested to ensure
the scooter meets our exacting
standards.

The finished scooter is a
stunning masterpiece of vintage
design, restored to its original
beauty and functionality. From
its flawless paintwork to its
