The Vespa PX100E was a variant of the classic Vespa PX line, characterized by its 100cc engine size and an “E” indicating electronic ignition, which replaced the older points ignition system. It was part of a successful line of Vespa scooters known for their timeless design, steel chassis, and simple, air-cooled single-cylinder engines. The PX100E, like other PX models, provided a connection between Vespa’s historical models and its future, though it is distinct from the modern, fuel-injected, and automatic Vespas.
