![]() Piaggio’s quirky LT scooter series was first offered in the USA for the 2003 model year, which was the same year Piaggio entered the USA market under their own name (as opposed to the name). The LT 50 and LT 150 were offered again for 2004, but after that both models were dropped. Although the LT was new to the USA market, it was first released overseas in 1997, so it was actually an aging design when it was introduced here. Overseas the LT is sold as the Liberty, so if you are researching this model then the Liberty name is a good avenue to explore. A second generation Liberty was released overseas for 2004 and a third generation was released for 2009. Finally for 2018 Piaggio decided to bring this model back to North America, this time using the Liberty name. As they share almost nothing with the first generation LT50/150, the 2018. Engines The LT 50 and LT 150 are both fairly rare scooters, but mechanically they do share quite a few parts with other machines. Piaggio’s Hi-PER2 2-stroke 49cc engine used in the Fly 50 is the motor found in Piaggio’s Typhoon 50 and the Vespa ET2 50. Similarly, the Fly 150 uses Piaggio’s LEADER motor which has also been used in the Fly 150, Vespa ET4 150,Vespa S 150 and Vespa LX 150. A larger bore version of this motor were also used in Piaggio’s BV200 and Vespa’s GT200. Accordingly, parts availability for OEM and aftermarket parts is excellent. The LT 50 is quite a peppy scooter since it’s a 2-stroke. Acceleration is good and top speed is about 40mph.
