Lambretta Wheel Parts
Classic Lambretta wheels use a split-rim system that allows the tyre and inner tube to be removed without requiring specialist tyre-changing equipment.
The wheel consists of the appropriate rim sections, rim nuts and washers, inner tube and tyre.
Scooter Vista stocks 350-10 Lambretta wheel rims and associated wheel hardware, including Scootopia and BGM PRO rims in different finishes.
Choosing the correct wheel components is important because the rim, inner tube and tyre need to be compatible.
Lambretta 350-10 Wheel Rims
The 350-10 wheel rim is the familiar size used on many classic Lambretta models.
Scooter Vista stocks a selection of Lambretta 350-10 wheel rims, including:
- Scootopia white wheel rims
- Scootopia grey wheel rims
- BGM PRO silver wheel rims
- BGM PRO white wheel rims
- BGM PRO chrome wheel rims
Availability can vary, so check the individual product listing for the current stock status.
Replacement wheel rims are ideal for restorations where the original rims are rusty, damaged or no longer suitable for use.
Lambretta Split Wheel Rims
Split rims are a particularly useful feature of classic Lambrettas.
The two halves of the rim can be separated, allowing the tyre and inner tube to be removed from the wheel.
However, the condition of the rim halves is extremely important.
Before fitting a tyre, check:
- Rim condition
- Rust
- Corrosion
- Damaged studs
- Damaged threads
- Rim seating surfaces
- Rim alignment
- Wheel nuts and washers
Never use a badly corroded or damaged rim simply because it appears serviceable.
Lambretta Wheel Rim Nuts & Washers
The wheel rim nuts secure the two halves of the split rim together.
Scooter Vista stocks 13 mm stainless Lambretta wheel rim nut and washer sets, including open Nyloc-style nuts and domed versions. These are suitable for Series 1, 2 and 3 LI, SX, TV, DL and GP applications, including Spanish and Indian SIL models where specified.
Using good-quality wheel hardware is an important part of a wheel rebuild.
When rebuilding a wheel, inspect the studs and nuts carefully and replace damaged or poor-quality hardware.
Lambretta Inner Tubes
A good-quality inner tube is essential when running traditional tube-type Lambretta wheels.
Scooter Vista stocks 350-10 Lambretta inner tubes, including Scootopia butyl tubes with an offset valve and MYPOL tubes for LI, SX, TV and GP applications.
We also stock Michelin 300/350-10 inner tubes with different valve angles.
When choosing an inner tube, make sure:
- The tube size matches the tyre.
- The valve type suits the wheel.
- The tube is not damaged.
- The tube is not twisted inside the tyre.
- The valve sits correctly through the rim.
Lambretta Inner Tube Replacement
If you're fitting a new tyre, it is often sensible to inspect or replace the inner tube at the same time.
An old tube can deteriorate even when it appears acceptable from the outside.
Look for:
- Cracks
- Perishing
- Previous repairs
- Valve damage
- Stretching
- Abrasion
A new tube is relatively inexpensive compared with removing the wheel and tyre again after a failure.
Lambretta Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings allow the wheel hub to rotate smoothly around the axle.
Worn bearings can cause:
- Wheel play
- Rough rotation
- Noise
- Vibration
- Poor wheel alignment
Scooter Vista stocks Scootopia Lambretta LI SX TV DL GP front hub bearing sets suitable for both drum-brake and disc-brake front hub applications.
When rebuilding a hub, inspect the bearings and replace them if there is any doubt about their condition.
Lambretta Front Hub Bearings
The front hub bearing arrangement varies depending on the particular Lambretta hub and brake configuration.
Scooter Vista's Scootopia front hub bearing set is designed for LI, SX, TV, DL and GP models with both disc and drum brake setups.
Before ordering replacement bearings, always check the exact hub and bearing specification.
Lambretta Brake Parts
A Lambretta braking system needs to operate smoothly and consistently.
Depending on the scooter, the system can include:
- Front brake shoes
- Rear brake shoes
- Brake drums
- Front disc
- Disc brake pads
- Brake cables
- Brake pedal
- Brake pedal spring
- Brake arms
- Brake springs
- Brake levers
- Reverse-pull brake components
Scooter Vista stocks parts for both drum and disc brake Lambrettas.
Lambretta Drum Brake Shoes
Many classic Lambrettas use drum brakes.
Brake shoes press against the inside of the brake drum to slow the wheel.
Over time, the friction material wears down.
Worn brake shoes can result in:
- Reduced braking performance
- Increased lever travel
- Poor brake adjustment
- Uneven braking
- Noise
Scooter Vista stocks Lambretta brake shoe sets from suppliers including Makino, with applications covering Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, SX and TV models, as well as separate GP versions.
Lambretta Brake Shoe Inspection
Whenever a brake drum is removed, inspect the complete brake assembly.
Check:
- Brake shoe lining
- Brake shoe condition
- Brake springs
- Brake cam
- Brake drum
- Hub
- Bearing condition
- Brake cable
- Brake arm
Do not simply replace the brake shoes without checking the condition of the drum.
A badly worn or damaged drum can affect braking performance even with new shoes.
Lambretta Rear Brake Shoes
The rear brake is operated through the foot brake pedal and rear brake mechanism.
Scooter Vista stocks replacement rear brake components for LI, SX, TV, DL and GP models.
When servicing the rear brake, inspect the brake pedal and return spring as well as the shoes.
A damaged or weak brake pedal spring can prevent the pedal from returning correctly.
Lambretta Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is one of the most frequently used controls on a Lambretta.
Scooter Vista stocks an MB Scooters LI, SX, TV, DL & GP brake pedal, manufactured from high-strength rust-resistant steel. The design is slightly modified to provide greater force on the rear brake shoes and improve rear braking performance.
A replacement brake pedal can be useful when the original is:
- Bent
- Damaged
- Rusted
- Worn
- Poorly aligned
Lambretta Brake Pedal Spring
The brake pedal return spring pulls the rear brake pedal back into its correct position after braking.
Scooter Vista stocks a Lambretta LI, SX, TV, DL & GP brake pedal spring for Series 2 and Series 3 applications, including SIP and Spanish models.
Although it is a small component, the brake pedal spring should not be overlooked during a restoration.
Lambretta Disc Brakes
Some Lambretta models and later conversions use a front disc brake.
Disc brakes work differently from traditional drum brakes.
The brake pads clamp onto the disc to slow the wheel.
A disc brake system can provide strong and consistent braking performance, particularly when correctly maintained.
Scooter Vista stocks replacement disc brake components for suitable Lambretta applications.
Lambretta Brake Discs
Scooter Vista stocks Scootopia Lambretta SX, TV, DL & GP brake discs for scooters fitted with the appropriate disc brake setup.
When replacing a brake disc, inspect the complete braking system rather than treating the disc as an isolated component.
Check:
- Disc condition
- Disc thickness
- Mounting
- Bolts
- Brake pads
- Caliper
- Brake fluid
- Hydraulic system
Always follow the manufacturer's specifications when determining whether a disc is suitable for reuse.
Lambretta Disc Brake Pads
Brake pads are the friction material used by the caliper to clamp onto the disc.
Scooter Vista stocks Forma copper-sintered Lambretta disc brake pads for suitable SX, TV, DL and GP disc brake applications. These pads are manufactured in Italy and are asbestos-free.
The product is specified for:
- SX200
- TV175
- TV200
- DL/GP200
Always check the exact brake system before ordering pads.
Lambretta Sintered Brake Pads
Sintered brake pads can be a useful option for riders looking for strong braking performance.
The Forma copper-sintered pads stocked by Scooter Vista are designed as a modern interpretation of the original Innocenti-style disc brake pad and are intended to provide good braking and heat management.
As with all brake components, compatibility with the specific caliper and disc system is essential.
Lambretta Reverse Pull Brake
A reverse-pull brake setup can improve the feel and leverage of a Lambretta front brake.
Scooter Vista stocks a Lambretta LI, SX, TV, DL & GP reverse-pull brake set suitable for both drum and disc brake models.
The kit is listed as suitable for Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, SX, TV, DL and GP models, including Spanish and Indian SIL scooters.
This type of setup can be particularly useful for riders looking to improve the braking feel of an older Lambretta.
Lambretta Brake Cables
Brake cables are critical to the operation of a mechanical Lambretta braking system.
A cable that is:
- Frayed
- Rusty
- Stiff
- Kinked
- Damaged
should be replaced.
A brake cable should operate smoothly and have the correct amount of free play.
Never continue riding if a brake cable is showing signs of failure.
Lambretta Brake Adjustment
Correct adjustment is important for both front and rear drum brakes.
The brake should provide positive braking without excessive lever or pedal travel.
However, the brake must also be able to release completely when the control is released.
After adjustment, check that:
- The wheel rotates freely.
- The brake operates correctly.
- The brake returns fully.
- There is no binding.
- The cable is correctly routed.
- The brake shoes are correctly positioned.
Lambretta Wheel & Brake Restoration
A wheel and brake rebuild is an excellent opportunity to replace several ageing components together.
A typical restoration may include:
Wheels
- Wheel rims
- Inner tubes
- Tyres
- Rim nuts
- Rim washers
Hubs
- Hub bearings
- Seals
- Hub components
- Fasteners
Brakes
- Brake shoes
- Brake springs
- Brake cables
- Brake pedal
- Brake disc

Lambretta Wheel Safety
Wheels and brakes are safety-critical components.
When rebuilding a Lambretta wheel:
- Inspect both halves of the rim.
- Check the wheel studs.
- Use suitable rim nuts and washers.
- Inspect the inner tube.
- Check the tyre condition.
- Ensure the tyre and tube are correctly fitted.
- Check the hub bearings.
- Check the brake components.
- Correctly tighten all fasteners.
- Check the wheel rotates correctly before riding.
Never ignore corrosion, cracks, damaged threads or loose wheel components.
Changing a Lambretta Tyre & Inner Tube
The split-rim design makes tyre changes relatively straightforward, but the process still needs to be carried out carefully.
Before dismantling the wheel:
- Remove the wheel from the scooter.
- Completely deflate the inner tube.
- Remove the rim nuts.
- Separate the rim halves carefully.
- Inspect the rims.
- Remove the old tube.
- Inspect the tyre.
- Fit the new tube without twisting it.
- Reassemble the rim.
- Check the tube is correctly positioned.
- Inflate to the correct pressure.
If you're unsure about the procedure, Scooter Vista also recommends taking care when working with split rims because incorrect assembly can be dangerous.
Lambretta Wheel Rim Corrosion
Classic Lambretta wheel rims can suffer from corrosion, particularly where moisture has remained trapped around the tyre and inner tube.
Before reusing an old rim, inspect the complete rim carefully.
Pay particular attention to:
- Rim edges
- Stud holes
- Nut seating areas
- Valve hole
- Inner rim surface
- Split-rim mating surfaces
If corrosion has significantly weakened the rim, replacement is the safest option.
Choosing the Correct Lambretta Wheel Part
Before ordering, check:
Lambretta model
Series
LI, SX, TV, DL or GP
Front or rear wheel
Drum or disc brake
350-10 wheel specification
Hub type
Brake system
This is particularly important with brake discs, brake pads, hub bearings and brake shoes.
Parts that look similar can have different dimensions or applications.
Choosing the Correct Lambretta Brake Part
Before ordering a brake component, identify:
- Model
- Series
- Front or rear brake
- Drum or disc
- Brake shoe size
- Disc specification
- Caliper type
- Original or modified braking system
If the scooter has been modified, such as a disc brake conversion or performance brake setup, the original model alone may not be enough to identify the correct component.
