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.[1]
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[2] 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.[3]
