The Vespa Lx 150 has a top speed of 105 km/h, produces 10.5 hp and weighs 116 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Vespa LX 150 a été présentée par Piaggio en 2005 en tant que renaissance moderne du design classique de la Vespa, alliant style rétro et ingénierie contemporaine. Il a remplacé la série ET vieillissante et est devenu l'un des modèles Vespa les plus vendus au monde, attirant les navetteurs urbains en quête de style et de praticité. La gamme LX a contribué à consolider la résurgence de Vespa en tant que marque de scooters haut de gamme au 21e siècle.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.

LX 150 de lancement original avec moteur 4 temps de 150 cm3, style Vespa classique, robinet de carburant sous le siège.
"Un outil urbain magnifique qui demande de la patience sur les autoroutes."
J'ai piloté un LX 150 Gen 1 pendant deux étés italiens et un hiver pluvieux à Londres, et ce qui m'a le plus surpris, c'est à quel point il est agréable de se déplacer dans la circulation urbaine. Le centre de gravité bas et ce plancher large et plat vous donnent l'assurance que les scooters deux fois plus cylindrés ne peuvent égaler. Le moteur quatre temps de 150 cm3 sort doucement du ralenti et vous permet d'atteindre 80 km/h sans problème, mais atteindre les 100 km/h est un vœu pieux, quel que soit le vent de face ou le passager ; honnêtement, il s'agit d'une machine à 85 km/h. La qualité de fabrication est excellente pour le segment : une carrosserie en acier véritable qui se bossele au lieu de se briser, et du chrome qui reste chromé, mais le robinet de carburant situé sous le siège est un choix de conception vraiment stupide qui vous surprendra au moins une fois. La qualité de conduite sur un asphalte accidenté est instable en raison de la suspension à court débattement, et le frein arrière à tambour sur sol mouillé nécessite le type de planification à l'avance qui devrait être réservé aux porte-avions.
Pros
Les inconvénients
Système d'injection de carburant mis à jour remplaçant le carburateur, conformité améliorée à la norme Euro 3 en matière d'émissions, réglage de la suspension affiné.
Mises à jour des émissions Euro 4, améliorations mineures de la carrosserie, tableau de bord amélioré, option ABS introduite.
Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
