The sensational two stroke scooters of the late eighties on the Indian roads faced a grave threat with the arrival of the Japanese 4 stroke motorcycles. The likes of Bajaj Cub, Lambretta and the most attractive LML Vespa ruled the rooster. Keeping aloof all these busy years in the automobile industry, the company is on the revamping mood in addition to the export venture which has been going on for the years.
The new product from LML now will be NV 4-stroke, equipped with a 150-cc 4stroke engine to offer 13ps of power and 11.3Nm of torque. The intention to go in for 4-stroke is to get relief from the low mileage, smoke and nasty engine performance. LML now assures that the new NV will deliver a mileage of 60km/l in normal conditions. The vehicle will have a rear suspension of double-action, spare wheel at the rear to enable the brand trademark of LML. Other utility values are under-seat storage space, brighter headlamp.
LML’s export market has been tremendous that it has sold over 45lakh scooters across the globe including the US, Italy, Sudan, Japan and Australia. Very soon the scooter will be available for test ride. Till then we shall wait.
