VESPA ET,LXAUTOMATIK BOOK SCOOTERS FROM 1996,132 P
- All air-cooled two- and four-stroke engines from 1996 onwards
- As the world's most important scooter manufacturer, Piaggio markets the completely updated versions of the legendary Vespa: since 1996 the ET and LX series, and more recently also the LXV and S. With its steel chassis and front fork designed like an aircraft's landing gear, Piaggio has stuck to tradition. However, the engine and automatic CVT are modern. Besides some beginner models with 50 cm³ two-stroke engines, the Italians mainly supply economical, environmentally friendly four-stroke scooters to Germany, usually with 125 cm³, but also or 50 and 150 cm³, engine size.
- In 152 pages and with around 530 photos and drawings, the updated and extended new edition of the book, which first came out in 2006, describes all the maintenance, adjustment and assembly work for these models, beginning with taking apart the body and chassis and removing and dismantling the engine, OHC valve train and automatic transmission, through to servicing the brake system, carburettor, fuel injection system (ET 50 Iniezione) and electrics. Colour circuit diagrams, troubleshooting tables, complete technical specifications, tables for tightening torques and cylinder measurements and an index complete the contents of this book, which is clearly structured in sections dealing with individual components and jobs.

Two-stroke: ET 2 50, ET 2 50 Ini., LX 2 50, LXV 50, S 50

The publishing house Delius Klasing was founded by Johannes Klasing and Konrad Delius in 1911, with the business already focusing on special-interest topics such as flying, motorboats and automobiles. The war then prompted a move from Berlin to Bielefeld.
It was here that Konrad-Wilhelm Delius, the co-founder's 29-year-old son, started up the business again in 1945.
From 1963 it was under the joint management of the brothers Konrad-Wilhelm and Kurt Delius. During the 1970s and 80s the firm began publishing numerous special-interest magazines that are market leaders today.
It is also expanded its publication of books,
and in the 1980s broke into the soft media sector, selling videos and also computer software.
In 1982 Konrad Delius took over management of the firm as the fourth generation of the family. Today some 220 staff are hard at work living up to the principles of the company, which is among the top 20 in the publishing industry.
