Sustituyó a la antigua serie ET y se convirtió en uno de los modelos de Vespa más vendidos en todo el mundo, atrayendo a los viajeros urbanos que buscan estilo y practicidad.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Watch the Carburetor
The LX 150's carburetor is prone to clogging if the scooter sits unused for extended periods. Regular use or draining the fuel before storage prevents costly cleaning or replacement.
Strong Resale Value
Vespas hold their value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, often retaining 60-70% of their value after several years. The brand's iconic status and loyal following keep used demand consistently high.
Fuel-Injected Upgrade
Later LX 150 models (2012+) switched from carburetor to fuel injection, making them noticeably more reliable and easier to start in cold weather. Always confirm which version you're buying, as it significantly affects long-term maintenance.
Generaciones y especificaciones por año
Lanzamiento original de la LX 150 con motor de 4 tiempos y 150 cc, estilo clásico de Vespa y grifo de combustible debajo del asiento.
"Magnífica herramienta urbana que exige paciencia en las carreteras."
He pilotado una LX 150 de primera generación durante dos veranos italianos y un invierno húmedo en Londres, y lo que más me sorprendió fue lo realmente agradable que es atravesar el tráfico de la ciudad: el bajo centro de gravedad y el suelo ancho y plano dan una confianza que un patinete con el doble de cilindrada no puede igualar. La moto de cuatro tiempos y 150 cc arranca con suavidad al ralentí y te permite alcanzar los 80 km/h sin problemas, pero estirarse hasta los 100 es una ilusión para cualquier pasajero o con viento en contra; sinceramente, se trata de una máquina de 85 km/h. La calidad de fabricación es excelente para este segmento (carrocería de acero auténtico que se abolla en lugar de romperse y cromo que permanece cromado), pero el grifo de combustible situado debajo del asiento es una elección de diseño realmente estúpida que te sorprenderá al menos una vez. La calidad de conducción sobre asfalto roto es irregular gracias a la suspensión de recorrido corto, y el freno trasero de tambor en condiciones húmedas requiere el tipo de planificación anticipada que debería reservarse a los portaaviones.
Pros
Contras
Sistema de inyección de combustible actualizado que reemplaza el carburador, mejora el cumplimiento de las normas de emisiones Euro 3 y mejora el ajuste de la suspensión.
Actualizaciones de emisiones Euro 4, pequeñas mejoras en la carrocería, grupo de instrumentos mejorado e introducción de la opción ABS.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"Overpriced to own but genuinely loveable if budget allows."
$1,800-$3,500 usedThe Vespa LX 150 is the kind of scooter that makes you feel like you're sipping espresso in Rome even when you're stuck in suburban traffic. It's genuinely charming, and that's not nothing. The 150cc four-stroke pulls smoothly through city riding, handles parking nightmares effortlessly, and gets around 70mpg if you're not constantly wringing its neck. Build quality is notably better than Asian competitors — the steel monocoque frame doesn't rattle apart after three years. That said, go in with eyes open. Parts are expensive and sometimes scarce. Piaggio dealers aren't everywhere, and independent mechanics often charge premium rates just for the Italian badge. The underseat storage is genuinely pathetic — can't fit a full-face helmet. Inspect any used example carefully around the floorboard seams and under the legshield where rust hides. CVT belt and rollers need regular attention; previous owners frequently ignore this. Budget $200-300 annually for proper maintenance regardless.
