Hi all. Just thought i'd say hello as i've just registered. Been surfin the site for about a month, so thought i'd better register. Not got myself a scoot yet but have loved 'em for years, have reached 40 now & i am starting to fulfil my boyhood dream of owning one. While i'm on here, call me daft if this is a silly question, but if piaggio have stopped production of the px coz of stupid euro laws, how come LML can still produce a scooter for our market? Can't piaggio just use the same as LML do?

Hiya, welcome to the forum - glad you found us. Not a daft question at all - LML is in India, i.e. outside the EU. You can probably still buy new PXs in the UK somewhere - it's just the production that's stopped.

Hi Lucia, Thanks for the welcome and answering that for me, just one more thing, if they make them in india and import them here, wouldn't they then be banned eventually because they don't meet pollution regs and does the new stupid euro law only apply to newly built scooters?

welcome jonesy, i suppose piaggio could carry on with the px but all the bits they have to add to make it legal slow it down and mess with the performance, LML's suffer from this, but can be doctored to meet px output, see scootering for the last couple of months

Hi sirscootalot,
Thanks for that, that has put a lot of light on that subject for me. Do you think LML's are worth having then?

they're pretty good for the price you pay, it might be worth posting a pro's and con's question on the everything else scooter related page and see what the LML riders say
