Built around Vespa's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2006 Vespa LX 50cc 4T pairs a 49.9 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.8 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the LX 50cc 4T measures 102 kg (225 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.6-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.22 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 387 km (240 miles) between fill-ups.
