About the Vespa LX 125

Overview

The Vespa LX 125 is a scooter from Vespa. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Scooters are made for easy city riding: automatic, step-through and usually with storage under the seat. With a 124 cc engine it sits in the 125 cc scooter class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 124 cc air-cooled engine that makes 9.78 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 9.6 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 87 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 90 km/h.

Gearbox

It uses an automatic (CVT) transmission, so there are no gears or clutch to work — you twist the throttle and go.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a monocoque steel high rigidity structure frame. At the front, the suspension is aircraft derived single side arm front suspension with Anti-Dive characteristics. At the rear, it is with Dual-Effect hydraulic shock absorber. Braking is by a drum at the front and a drum at the rear, with a combined braking system (CBS). Using the rear brake lever also applies some front brake, which shortens stops for riders who lean on the rear brake.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 770 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 114 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. Ground clearance is 155 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. The wheelbase is 1,290 mm. It carries 7.4 L of fuel.

Owning one

For the Vespa LX 125, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.

Who it suits

It is best suited to city errands and riders who would rather not shift gears. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.

Owning the Vespa LX 125

    Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.

Maintaining the Vespa LX 125

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Drum and Drum brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • CVT belt & variator

    Automatic scooters transmit power through a belt and variator. Listen for slipping or judder, and have them inspected as part of regular servicing.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Tyre inspection

    Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12V, 5Ah low maintenance. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
