When we took a test ride of the Vespa GTS 125 Super, we also had the chance to take the Vespa LX 50 4Valvolve out for a spin, and while the difference in the two is notable, the LX 50 really fits its market. The LX 50 4 Valvolve is made for a young public who want a zippy scooter that’s easy and safe to ride, and who want the Vespa style in city riding conditions.
The city terrain and its narrow streets and heavy traffic, is the perfect setting for the LX 50. It’s a good friend in traffic, with its new 50cc four-stroke engine, equipped with four valves that grabs your attention when you take off.
It’s a more powerful model than the previous version and almost has the response of a two-stroke (the distinctive smell is the only thing missing). The engine is the main novelty of this Vespa, which has been designed as a half-way point between the benefits of both a 2T and a 4T.
Vespa has opened a store in Milan, in a new space on Viale Vittorio Veneto, that follows other Vespa stores in Italy opened in Rome, Naples and Florence. The Italian fashion capital hosts the store in the shopping district of Corso Buenos Aires, and it’s designed not just as a scooter store, but also an information point on Vespa fashion and accessories.
For us two-wheelers, you will also find all the joys of the new Vespa models, in classic, vintage and sports range. The new GTS 125 Super and the LX 50 4Valvole are displayed, together with their accessory and clothing range.
More Vespa shops in Europe and Italy will follow, as the classic “Made in Italy” brand becomes even more popular. For full details on the Vespa store, see our news on Blog Dolce Vita.
With more news and pics of Vespa Day in Milan to come, a new Piaggio Vespa model presented is the Vespa LX 50 4Valvole (four valves). It’s a zippy city scooter with plenty of Vespa tradition and style to boot.
In the pics below we give you the full official gallery of the new Vespa LX 50, with its 50cc, four-stroke engine. The new model has the response and speed of a two-stroke, with the efficiency and reduced emissions of a four-stroke. Full press details below.
