the All-new VESPA LX Getting around town has never looked quite this good
Take a new spin on an original classic.
From the same pedigree as the first Vespa prototype built by
Piaggio in 1946, the LX is 60 years in the making. Witness the evolution of style, comfort, and performance with the core values of Vespa that never change: eco-friendly engineering, passion, individualism, and integrity.
With the Vespa LX, you’ll quickly see commuting in a whole new light. Commuting and errands can be everything from mundane to frustrating. Be amazed by how those bothersome, everyday scenarios become a lot more fun when you surround yourself with the style, performance and safety that is the Vespa LX.

Red light. Brake at a red light with confidence, with the LX’s advanced mixedtype braking system. The front has a 7.8” diameter disc, with hydraulic linkage and a dual opposed piston hydraulic caliper.1 The back has a 4.3“ diameter drum with mechanical linkage. And a nice pause at a red light is the best time to let people soak in the personality of your new Vespa. Clean lines, elegant colors, sophisticated chrome linings and a modern sense of style—it’s all in the details.
Green light. Congestion is for everyone else. Zip through traffic with a low center of gravity and a larger front wheel (11” front –10” back), which provides more control and agility. And your posture has never looked better. The ergonomically-designed seat allows for your legs and arms to be held at correct angles and your torso straight, for a comfortable ride.
