Por isso, faço aqui a introdução não de uma mota, mas de uma fantástica... scooter!!  

Num tom mais sério:
Sempre adorei a estética das míticas Lambrettas, que tiveram tanto sucesso em Portugal que lambreta passou a ser sinónimo da scooter da época.

Agora, esta nova marca - Scomadi- inglesa, recriou a estética das Lambrettas, e são fabricadas pela Hanway (só mesmo uma "Lambretta" para estar aqui a falar de uma scooter de fabrico chinês).

Chamaram-me a atenção porque agora o meu competente mecânico também é agora distribuidor destes novos modelos.

Todavia, o desenho e qualidade são ingleses, e o fabrico na China, por questões de redução de custos:
"The design and test models were made in the UK by Scomadi Limited. It is based on the classic Lambretta Jet 200 scooter but utilizes modern controls and modern drivetrains. The 300cc version uses the same Piaggio drivetrain as the Vespa GTS, the 125cc & 50cc models use SYM drivetrains.
Design and quality control specs are dictated by a UK business but built in China for cost sake".

Um pouco da história da Scomadi:
"Scomadi Ltd is a British Company registered in 2005 and a partnership between Frank Sanderson of Scooter Innovation Ltd and Paul Melici of PM Tuning Ltd who between them have over 60 years of experience in the scooter industry. They have created the Scomadi brand and range of scooters based on the iconic Italian scooters of the past.

The project initially began with Scooter Innovations modern automatic engined hybrid conversions a number of years ago, which were produced as Series 4 and Series 5 derivatives. On going from these, Scooter Innovation produced several prototype concept scooters, with the intention to eventually mass manufacture “A Modern Classic”.

PM Tuning in conjunction with Scooter Innovation took the project forward and proceeded after ten years of product development, to register the necessary IPR to protect their research and development, future investment and created the new “Scomadi” brand. During the development period Scomadi have also attained several British and a World Record with their research and development prototype vehicles.

The Scomadi Turismo Leggera 250 was initially released with 10 limited edition carbon fibre models. Due to demand a further 20 hand built custom painted 300 cc models were made available. These have resulted in an oversubscribed full order book.

The intended purpose of this limited edition range was to raise the public awareness of the Scomadi brand and product. This has been very successful, resulting in contractual agreements with a high quality Far East manufacturing company and an established European motorcycle distributor.

The scooter has been further developed to extend the range of models to utilise the same chassis and bodywork, which now includes a 50 cc and 125 cc in addition to the forthcoming flagship model. By utilising the expertise and services of a recognised motorcycle manufacturer the costs have been substantially lowered from the original cost for the flagship model, enabling the scooter to be available and compete in a much wider market."

Turismo Leggera 50______49_____1.795,00€
Turismo Leggera 125_____125_____2.595,00€

Fico chocado quando frisam a construção destes modelos na china com o propósito de baixarem valores e depois apresentarem praticamente 1800€ para uma "simples" 50cc...
Não estando com isto a desdenhar os modelos, que até têm a sua piada (para quem aprecie scooter's de aspecto vintage)
