It should fit, yes. Most (perhaps not all) bolt-on accessories for an ET will probably fit an LX. I've seen many LXs with ET accessories.

I'm not sure that the ET rear racks will fit the LX because of the passenger handle.

Here is a picture of the Cuppini folding rear rack for the LX

They look different to me. I'd want to make sure before I went and ordered body accessories for my scooter.

The ET and LX racks all bolt onto the same places on the body of the scooter. You may need to add or remove a grab rail for some racks to fit, but that isn't any harder than installing the rack itself.

I've seen plenty of LXs with ET rear racks. And I've seen a few ETs with LX grab rails (with or without racks).

Welcome and most everything is interchangeable within the LT,ET4 and LX series but ask a vespa shop before you order just in case. I'm putting a ET4 suede Schendoni seat on my LX and the vespa dealer in Washington put it on a LX to make sure it fit before he sent it to me. Have fun

The ET Cuppini above will fit an LX. Scooterworks sells it for ET and LX models. The other, with integrated grab rails is specifically for the LX (but may fit an ET).

Thank you
Hi Everyone,
Thank you very much for your helpfull advice.
The rack I have seen is the Cuppini ET one which sounds like it will fit.

Now my only issue is how it will fit because as you can see I already have a grab bar and back crash rails.
Any advice on this subject would be greatfully appreciated.
I've added a pic to show what I mean.

Thanks to you all
Happy scootering!!

I don't know the answer to your question but wanted to say your scooter looks great, I like the bling you've added.

Hi thanks,
can't really take the credit I bought her like that.
Fell in love with her over the internet bought her and had her shipped to me from a lovely guy in Brighton.
Love the looks me and the hubby get while out and about together (he owns a vespa px125).

Have you got full pics of your scoot?
The back rack I want to buy for her is a welcome to your new home gift!
I think she will like it?

Best regards
Happy sootering
Shelley
