Well, I know things have been quiet regarding mid range tanks that we have been asked for, but hereās why.
We made the mid range tanks about 10 years ago, with all the parts being hand cut and folded to shape. We sold quite a few, but found them to be very labour intensive, especially compared to our long range tank with itās parts being laser cut etc. So even though there was a demand for them, we decided to concentrate on the long range tank and stop making them.
Fast forward to the back end of 2025 and with customers still asking for the mid tank, we started to have a look at making it again, although this time copy the original tank but supply drawings so the parts could be laser cut. Although when we made the first new tank it fitted straight into a Series 3, to our surprise after sending a tank to France the customer messaged us to say he couldnāt get the tank to fit! We found the reason to be the parts that we use now for fastening the tank in the scooter had increased the length of the tank.
We continue today to make the Series 3 version, but we have had to re design the tank to fit Series 1-2. The picture is the very first re designed, hand cut tank which is fitted in a Winter model for fitment testing, then off to Rimini Lambretta Centre to fit in a Series 1 framebreather. If it fits ok in the S1 framebreather, then we will then supply the laser people with revised drawings..
