Could someone help please.
I purchased a 2021 VXL 150 but cannot find accessories for it.
Is the an equivalent european model that this is a replica of?

In Europe there is the Sprint. I expect technically very related. Probably has the same i-get engine: an air cooled 155cc.

But it seems the bodywork is somewhat different. Maybe accessories will not fit your VXL

The (European/US) PV/Sprint definitely has a different exhaust system, control units, front ABS (instead of CBS). And there is no kickstarter on the four-stroke engines in Europe...

But is the engine basically the same? I mean cilinder, piston, valve train, crankshaft.

Possibly, but I have no information on this.

No.
They are similar in that you will find those parts in both engines, but that's where it ends. The engine in the VXL 150 puts out about 9 hp. Be interesting to see if the ones in Mozambique are carbed or injected. The new ones in South America are injected.

But the windshield and other accessories for the LX will fit. It's not an LX, but it's based on the LX.

How different are they? Well, here's the stock carburetor that comes on the VXL. The rest of the engine is about as cutting edge. And there are a ton of them all over the world.
