Custom Lambretta BARRACUDA
Before the Lambretta BARRACUDA was Vespa EL-SIDNEY
Our customer Felix and his new project: Lambretta Barracuda! He's coming to our premiere with this impressive scooter custom show. But let's take a quick look back first:
A previous project by Felix is the Vespa PX “EL-SIDNEY”. This scooter tells a story: it was the first Vespa with a CNC engine.
The Vespa PX EL-SIDEY has been the development vehicle for various developments since May 2006, not least for the one that is available today Vespa CNC motor from GP-ONE and KR-Automation GmbH, as we do in our Vespa Smallframe demonstrator XI GENERATION have installed.
Of course, the scooter was also in various newspapers and magazines such as Scooterring, Rollerjornal, etc.
With this Vespa PX, Felix has won some “Best Engineering” awards and has also proven in practice on quartermiles what the scooter is capable of via 50PS plugged. As is currently the case in the new Lambretta project, that brought it bgm PRO chassis Even with the Vespa, the 50PS is safe on the road.

The Lambretta BARRACUDA story
After selling the EL-Sidney in 2014, Felix fell into a deep hole ;-). Well at least he was looking for a new challenge and comforted himself with a Lambretta frame.
Over time, the vision arose to build another vehicle with a CNC motor. With the idea of further developing the ideas from the El-Sidney project and integrating new features. The Lambretta BARRACUDA should surpass the Vespa EL-SIDNEY.
So at the end of 2015, Felix gave a Lambretta motor to Topometric for 3D measurement. The tried and tested cylinder and membrane from the Vespa engine should also be used in the Lambretta. The decision to integrate an injection is new. So we can be excited and hope that our dynamometer will do the same ...
Why “BARRACUDA”?
In order to have a theme around the vehicle, an individual design was developed around the Lambretta: BARRACUDA.
Why “BARRACUDA”? Predatory fish, long and slender. Fits 100% on this Lambretta!
Custom is the program here. Most of the parts are custom-made. The design was based on all of these self-made CNC components adopted in order to get not only a paint job, but also many small, finely worked details. This is how a Lambretta is currently being created with unique recognition features from the luggage rack, brake drums, to the step rails, brake pedal and the handles:
