Piaggio Vespa LX
The Vespa LX is a scooter that was made by Piaggio from 2006 until 2014.
The LX 150 uses the same frame as the LX 50 but features a 150 cc engine capable of a listed maximum speed of 59 mph (95 km/h). The LX 150, like all modern Vespa scooters features a 4-stroke single overhead camshaft and steel frame construction. Vespa claims 70–75 mpg‑US (3.4–3.1 L/100 km; 84–90 mpg‑imp) fuel efficiency.
The LX models feature an automatic torque slave transmission and front disc and rear drum brakes.
Released in 2005, the LX is the Roman Numeral for 60, marking the sixtieth anniversary of the first Vespa scooter in 1946. The LXV, the V denoting a vintage style, was released the same year and is mechanically identical.
Presented in February 2005 as far as the exterior is concerned, the frame is more squared than the ET2/ET4 series it intended to replace.
In 2009 it was restyled where the crest on the front fender and some chrome on the edges of the knobs and on the horn grille were added. On the occasion of this restyling, the engines became injection.
The LX, like all other Vespa scooters, has a steel supporting body that also contains a 9.8-liter tank inside; it is combined with the typical single-arm suspension on the front wheel. At the rear it has a suspension with double-acting hydraulic single shock absorber. The wheels are in five-spoke light alloy and have a diameter of 11 "front and 10" rear. The front wheel has a disc brake installed, while the rear one keeps the classic drum. To improve braking performance, the front disc brake was made of stainless steel with a diameter of approximately 200 mm and was equipped with a caliper with two opposed pistons with hydraulic control. The gearbox, like all Vespa scooters from 1996 to today (except the PX model), is of the CVT type.
In June 2009, production also started in Vietnam at the Binh Xuyen Indus plant of the local subsidiary Piaggio Vietnam Ltd. These models are sold on Asian markets.
