The LML Star (also known as Star De Luxe in Europe or Stella in United States) is a model motor scooter manufactured by Lohia Machinery Limited in Kanpur, India between 1999 and 2017 and based on the Italian Piaggio Vespa PX.
In 1986, LML began a joint venture with scooter manufacturer Piaggio, through which the Italian company sold its Vespa PX model to the Indian market.
[citation needed] This model lacks an automatic lubrication system thus two-stroke oil must be pre-mixed with petrol.
Up until 2004, Bajaj Chetak was its chief competitor in its segment (150 cc, 2 stroke scooter) in the Indian market.
[citation needed] Genuine Scooter stopped importing in June 2017 after LML hit financial trouble.
