Piaggio is the manufacturer behind popular brands of vehicles like Vespa and Aprilia. Vespa is known as the iconic Italian scooter brand for decades. It is one of the oldest two-wheeler brands in the world. Additionally, the word “Vespa” comes from the Italian word for “Wasp”. It was named so due to the sound the engine in the 1940s scooters made. Likewise, Vespa is known for their design, curvy looks, and the ability to turn heads on the streets.
D-Lifestyles is the authorized distributors of Vespa scooters for Nepal. Currently, 4 different models of Vespa scooters are on sale in the Nepali market. Each model also further categorized into two variants based on its engine; 125cc and 150cc, except two model, the Vespa Elegante and Vespa Notte. So, this brings the total variant of Vespa scooters available in Nepal to 8. So, let us get started!

Vespa LX 125
LX 125 comes with all the classic coolness of the brand along with the modern touches. Staying true to the aerodynamics of the old classic, the design will attract many to go head over heels. It embodies the simple-looking original design. The theme includes curvy body panels with chrome finish, round headlight, and a slightly forward leaning stance. List of modern features like electric start, front disc brake, single piece analog instrument cluster, and plain digital clock are included.
Like all scooters, it comes with ample storage. The motor is responsive in city traffic and the riders don’t have any places to complain. While some scooters offer telescopic shock suspension, LX 125 comes with modern single side arm hydraulic suspensions. The 150mm front and 140mm rear drum brakes do the job, though disc brakes would’ve been preferable.
The LX125 goes head-on against the scooters like Suzuki Access 125, TVS NTorq 125 and Honda Activa 125. Although the competition is relatively affordable, none can beat the Vespa in terms of design.
