LX is the Roman numeral for 60 so it’s no coincidence that Vespa has applied the LX nomenclature to it’s new series of classic Italian scooters. The Vespa LX is the 139th Vespa and celebrates almost 60 years of Vespa scooters. Ever since it first appeared in 1946, the Vespa has remained a favourite of generations. The Vespa started the scooter phenomenon and went on to sell nearly 17 million units in five continents. Its design and technical features have been regularly updated over the years, but two things about the Vespa have never changed – its inimitable style, and how easy it is to ride. The new Vespa LX replaces the Vespa ET series first launched in 1996. The ET allowed Vespa to introduce modern features such as automatic transmission but wisely they maintained their traditional Vespa style.The Vespa LX retains the features that have made the Vespa one of the world’s best-known vehicles — stylish design, absolute comfort, solidity, optimal performance in town use and twist-and-go (no gears) ease of use. The all-steel body sets the Vespa LX apart from any other scooter produced today. The advantage of the welded steel body is that it offers unmatchable rigidity and steering precision. The Vespa LX is available is three engine sizes. A 50cc 2-stroke model, a 50 cc 4-stroke model, plus 124cc and a 151cc 4-stroke models. Nearly 60 years have passed since the innocuous little Vespa liberated a ravaged Italy and today Vespa continues to liberate generations around the world.

In this column you'll find general technical info about the LX L.E.A.D.E.R.- & HI-PER 2/4 engines.

Scooters of the latest generation need to be equipped with engines that simultaneously fulfill the most demanding customer requirements, suit the broadest range of vehicle concepts, and are environmentally friendly. Keeping in mind this complex scenario, a new family of 4-stroke engines has been conceived, developed and tested by the PIAGGIO engineers: these are the LEADER engines PIAGGIO's Low Emission ADvanced Engine Range. LEADER is a new family of 4-stroke Single Over Head Camshaft (SOHC) engines, comprising: - 125cc, 150cc, 200cc, 250cc displacements - 2- or 4-valve configurations - air or liquid cooling - drum or disk rear
