About LML
Country of Origin:
India
Founder:
Lohia Machines Ltd. (Lohia family)
Best Known For:
Steel-bodied, Vespa-derived scooters (Star/Stella) and domestic commuter bikes
Company History
LML partnered with Piaggio to manufacture Vespa-derived steel-bodied scooters in India, creating rugged, manual-shift machines that became cultural fixtures. The Star (sold as the Genuine Stella in the U.S.) married classic style—pressed-steel chassis, spare wheel on the cowl—to local manufacturing and pricing that put ownership within reach of middle-class families. After the Piaggio JV, LML continued production under its own branding and explored motorcycles, but scooters defined its identity. Periods of financial distress and eventual shutdown punctuated later years, yet the badge remains beloved for having kept the classic Vespa ethos alive well into the 21st century. Parts ecosystems and restoration communities persist globally. Historically, LML stands for licensed manufacturing done right: quality sufficient to anchor a lifestyle and a dealer footprint that kept manual-shift romance practical. For many urban riders, an LML was the first machine that felt like both appliance and heirloom.
