Vespa Lx 150
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.
A Vespa LX 150 foi introduzida pela Piaggio em 2005 como um renascimento moderno do design clássico da Vespa, combinando estilo retrô com engenharia contemporânea. Ele substituiu a antiga série ET e se tornou um dos modelos globais mais vendidos da Vespa, atraindo passageiros urbanos que buscam estilo e praticidade. A linha LX ajudou a solidificar o ressurgimento da Vespa como uma marca de scooters premium no século 21.

O que os compradores devem 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.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Lançamento original do LX 150 com motor 4 tempos de 150 cc, estilo Vespa clássico, torneira de combustível embaixo do assento.
"Linda ferramenta urbana que exige paciência nas rodovias."
Eu pilotei uma LX 150 Gen 1 durante dois verões italianos e um inverno chuvoso em Londres, e o que mais me surpreendeu foi como é genuinamente agradável atravessar o trânsito da cidade — o baixo centro de gravidade e o piso largo e plano dão a você a confiança de que scooters com o dobro de sua cilindrada não conseguem igualar. A 150 cc a quatro tempos sai suavemente da marcha lenta e leva você a 80 km/h sem drama, mas chegar aos 100 reivindicados é uma ilusão com qualquer vento contrário ou passageiro; honestamente, esta é uma máquina de 85 km/h. A qualidade de construção é excelente para o segmento — carroceria de aço real que amassa em vez de se estilhaçar e cromo que realmente permanece cromada — mas a torneira de combustível embaixo do assento é uma escolha de design genuinamente estúpida que o surpreenderá pelo menos uma vez. A qualidade de condução em asfalto quebrado é instável graças à suspensão de curso curto, e o freio traseiro a tambor em condições úmidas exige o tipo de planejamento futuro que deve ser reservado aos porta-aviões.
Prós
Contras
Sistema de injeção de combustível atualizado substituindo o carburador, melhor conformidade com as emissões Euro 3, ajuste refinado da suspensão.
Atualizações de emissões Euro 4, pequenos refinamentos na carroceria, painel de instrumentos aprimorado e introdução da opção ABS.
Avaliação do 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.
