Lambretta and Vespa offered the most stylish and reliable models so, by the mid-fifties, they had become the dominant manufacturers. Scooter clubs were started throughout Great Britain, and scooters were soon as popular as motorcycles among young people. This was reflected in the wheeled toy market, where more children’s pedal motor-scooters were offered for sale than pedal motor-cycles. Tri-ang was by now the leading retailer of children’s toys, and they brought out their first pedal motor-scooter in 1954. The Tri-ang Tri-etta is a large well-built machine with metal bodywork and solid rubber tyres. Three years later, it was joined by a smaller model with stabilisers, the Tri-etta Junior.
