1969 Lambretta GP 150 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Lambretta for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 1969 Lambretta GP 150 features a 148 cc (9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) at 6,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 58.8 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.74-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 101 km/h (63 mph).
