Vespa LX 150 reviews

My little scooter has turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made! It's so fun to ride you can't help but smile as you cruise along. It's got tons of get up and go and saves me a bundle on gas. I drive it work other than summer (I live in the desert) and around town for all my errands. Round trip to work is about 50 miles, busy roads. I'm nearing my 3000 mile check up and I have to say they are expensive, that and helmet hair would be my only complaints. Vespa's are the way to travel!! Show less

I've had the LX 150 for about a month and cannot be more happy with the scoot. The acceleration is excellent and I can cruise on the freeway between 60 and 70mph with no problem. When on the freeway, I maintain a tucked position so my helmet is down and slightly over the handle bars and my knees are behind the shield. This helps increase stability and gets a few extra miles per hour. I have had no problems with the scooter and love its quality and style. I'm hoping the higher price I paid will pay off with higher quality and subsequently lower repair bills in the future. Show less

This has been my introduction into actually RIDING a motorcycle. It is so much fun. It's easy to balance, even on tip-toes. It has some giddy-up off the line, but only tops at 70 with the wind at your back. Show less

I bought the Vespa LX150 during the summer of 2005 and now have nearly 3000 miles on it. Unlike most scooter riders, I put most of my miles on in rural areas. It is a delightful machine for leisurely jaunts through the countryside and for all the various chores and errands I used to run in my Ford Ranger truck. The Vespa LX150 is quick and responsive and will move my 190 pounds along at nearly 65 MPH on flat roads with no wind but it is most at home at around 55. It has great acceleration for a little engine and I surprise many drivers at traffic lights. I've had no trouble with it at all, save wearing the rear tire out at around 2500 miles. Those small wheels turn a lot more than the bigger ones I guess. The Vespa is comfortable and extremely nimble on the road. I had some concerns that it would be unstable at higher speeds or in wind. Neither have been the case. Unlike most riders, I have continued to ride through the winter and in some light snow. Properly prepared you can ride all year long. With the riding clothes I have, I am good down to around 6 degrees Fahrenheit. And the scooter does not complain at all about the cold. It is good on gas with my mileage consistently around 68 MPG. All things considered, it is just a great ride---I am always smiling while I am riding. Show less
