LML Star Euro 150cc Automatic Scooter Launched; Price Rs 54,014

By Ganesh

LML was once a household name, which was made possible by their geared scooters. Partnering with Italy's Vespa allowed the Indian company to become a major player in the late 1980s and 90s. But post Vespa's exit LML's position dwindled until it was just a shadow of its old self.

Left to selling a few of its motorcycle models under the Freedom brand, LML has been operating under loss for the past decade or so. Now, after year's of silence LML is back in the news and how!

To try to cash in on the rekindled popularity of scooters in recent years, LML has launched the Star Euro 150cc automatic scooter. This scooter is a blast from the past that adapts the same classic scooter design from yester years, with modern adaptations such as a CVT automatic transmission. The only thing left out is a spare tyre at the back.
