Chinese scooter company Neco is doing its own copy of a Vespa model, taking on the Vespa N model of 1959 and calling it the Neco Italia. The return to the Dolce Vita occurs after Indian company LML produced its own Star4T Vespa clone. The Neco Italia is not just about vintage, though, using automatic transmission and four-stroke 50cc or 125cc motors. Both are air cooled with 7 hp and have electronic ignition.

The storage space on the Neco Italia is behind the front of the scooter and not under the seat, and has a spare wheel look to complete the vintage look-alike style. Currently the Neco Italia is not available in Italy (probably just as well) but is on sale in France for 1,930 euros for the 50cc version and 2,399 euros for the 125cc version. An electric scooter is on the way called the Eco Neco which takes on the design of the current Vespa LX.

Vespa look-alike scooter from LML, the Star, has been presented at the EICMA show, seen in these live pics of the new Star 4T version. The four-stroke scooter is available in both 125 and 250cc versions, and is being marketed as one of the world’s most ecological vehicles, running 60 km on one litre of fuel.

The LML Star 4T also has a new frame structure to make it safer and more comfortable for city riding. The Star scooter cashes in on the very popular retro-look scooter market, and has three versions available in a huge range of colours: Classic, Prestige and Vintage. Check it out in the live gallery below.

We’ve got another day to check out a few previews of what the 2009 EICMA has in store, before it all kicks off tomorrow, and here is a look at the range of LML Star scooters that will be on display at the event.

LML is an Italian brand that will present its range of four-stroke scooters, which include 125 and 150 cc versions. The Star 4T range complements the 2T range and provides an environmental option in the scooter sector. The 4T models can do 60 km on one litre of fuel.

The new Star engine appears on a new chassis with greater comfort and safety, making for good city riding. The modern technology is contrasted with a recognisable, Italian retro style. The frame structure is based on steel tubes, solded together, making a stronger and more rigid monocoque frame than traditional ones.
