The horn and light switch was located on the right handlebar. A kill switch and a covered lock were located at the back of the handlebars facing towards the rider. A green plastic "gem" was located above of the headlight which would glow when the high beams were on.
The speedometer retained its earlier round shape, but was sunken into the top of the bars, rather than protruding out as it had on the Series I. The handlebars themselves were also radically altered to accommodate the change. Not only was this a safety improvement, but it helped create an aesthetic harmony on the scooter, and helped to balance out the sheer size of the legshields and front mudguard. The most notable alteration was that the headlight was moved from the fixed position on the front horncasting, up to the front of the handlebars where it would be able to move with the steering of the scooter. In terms of styling, the Series II was not substantially altered from the LI Series I which preceded it. In terms of sheer numbers produced, Innocenti would never equal the LI 150 Series II. The Series II LI was the most commercially successful Lambretta ever made. With the LI Series II, the LI range had finally come into its own.
