The LX 50 2T was Vespa's entry-level scooter in the late 2000s: a twist-and-go two-stroke 50 with a front disc and rear drum. Reviewers found it solid and well finished for its class, if only average in a straight line and slow on steep hills, with a helmet-sized under-seat space and over 230 km of range.
