Lambretta, a name synonymous with iconic scooters, also made its mark in the three-wheeler segment through the API 175 Auto Rickshaw, featured in the 1980 Malayalam film "Digvijayam." Manufactured by Automobile Products of India (API), which was the first Indian scooter maker, these auto rickshaws were originally assembled from Innocenti kits and marketed under the Lambretta brand. Competing against the well-established Bajaj models, the API three-wheeler gained popularity and remains operational in various regions, especially in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala, showcasing the lasting impact of this classic vehicle on Indian transportation.
