Vespa PX

The Vespa PX, formally the Vespa P/PX Series, is a range of scooters manufactured by Piaggio under the Vespa brand. It was first presented in Milan in 1977 as the nuova linea or new line model, with two drum brakes, a single-cylinder air-cooled engine with an aluminium head and a steel chassis, improved with a new front suspension and a revised rear axle. It was sold as the Vespa P 125 X, the P 200 E with electronic ignition and, from 1978, the P 150 X, and the PX 80 appeared in 1981 for the German market alone. The Arcobaleno series of 1982, sold abroad as the Lusso series, added separate lubrication and a fuel gauge, and the Vespa T5 Pole Position of 1985 was a sportier variant. Production was stopped in 2007 and the last examples were sold as the Ultima Serie, but the PX returned in 2010 with a catalytic converter on its two-stroke engine to meet Euro 3, and ended in early 2017 when the engine failed to meet Euro 4. The series was also popular in Indonesia, which had its own variants.
