Vespa PX PE T5 Wheel Parts
The wheels and hubs are some of the most important components on your Vespa.
They need to withstand braking, acceleration, cornering and the often less-than-perfect road surfaces encountered by classic scooter riders.
A typical Vespa PX or T5 wheel assembly can include:
- Wheel rim
- Inner tube
- Tyre
- Front hub
- Rear hub
- Wheel studs
- Wheel nuts
- Hub nuts
- Bearings
- Oil seals
- Spacers
- Washers
- Hub caps
- Speedometer drive components
Scooter Vista stocks a range of replacement Vespa PX, PE and T5 wheel and hub parts for restoration, servicing and repair.
Vespa PX PE T5 Wheel Rims
The classic Vespa PX and T5 use a 10-inch wheel arrangement.
Replacement Vespa PX and T5 wheel rims are available in different styles and finishes, including standard split rims and modern tubeless options.
Specialist Vespa suppliers currently list both standard 10-inch split rims and tubeless rims specifically for PX/T5 applications.
When choosing a replacement rim, check:
- Rim diameter
- Rim width
- Split or tubeless construction
- Number of fixing holes
- Wheel hub compatibility
- Tyre size
- Intended front or rear application
Vespa PX PE T5 Split Rims
Split rims are a traditional feature of many classic Vespa models.
The two-piece rim design allows the tyre and inner tube to be removed without requiring specialist tyre-changing equipment.
This makes split rims particularly convenient for classic Vespa maintenance.
However, the condition of the rim halves should always be checked carefully.
Look for:
- Rust
- Corrosion
- Bent rim edges
- Damaged studs
- Cracked paint
- Damaged sealing surfaces
- Distorted mounting holes
Never reuse a badly corroded or damaged wheel rim.
Vespa PX T5 Tubeless Rims
Tubeless rims are a popular upgrade for riders looking for a modern wheel solution.
They can eliminate the inner tube and provide a different approach to tyre fitting and puncture repair.
Tubeless rims are available in several styles and finishes for Vespa PX and T5 applications, including polished, chrome and coloured versions.
Before purchasing, make sure the rim is specifically suitable for your Vespa and intended tyre size.
Vespa Wheel Rims & Tyres
The wheel rim and tyre work together, so both need to be compatible.
When replacing a rim, check:
- Tyre size
- Rim width
- Rim profile
- Tube or tubeless application
- Front or rear position
- Load rating
- Manufacturer recommendations
If you're changing from split rims to tubeless rims, make sure the tyre is suitable for the new rim and follow the rim manufacturer's fitting instructions.
Vespa PX PE T5 Inner Tubes
Traditional split-rim Vespa wheels use an inner tube.
Scooter Vista stocks Vespa and Lambretta inner tubes, including 3.00/3.50-10 applications. Your current wheel collection includes Michelin 300/350-10 inner tubes and complete tube sets.
When fitting a new inner tube:
- Use the correct size.
- Check the valve type.
- Ensure the tube is not twisted.
- Lightly inflate it before final assembly.
- Check the rim for sharp edges.
- Make sure the tyre bead is correctly seated.
It is generally sensible to replace the inner tube when fitting a new tyre rather than continuing to use an old, deteriorated tube.
Vespa Wheel Studs
Wheel studs secure the wheel rim to the hub.
The correct studs must be used for the specific Vespa application.
Replacement Vespa PX PE T5 wheel studs are available for servicing damaged or corroded wheel fixing hardware.
A complete wheel stud and nut set for PX and T5 applications can include five M8 studs, five M8 nuts and five spring washers.
Inspect the threads carefully whenever the wheel is removed.
Vespa Wheel Nuts
Wheel nuts secure the wheel rim to the wheel studs.
Damaged, rounded or corroded wheel nuts should be replaced.
Always tighten wheel nuts evenly and to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
Do not rely on an impact gun alone to determine the final tightening torque.
Vespa PX PE T5 Wheel Hub Nuts
The hub nut secures the hub onto its associated axle or spindle.
The correct hub nut depends on the particular Vespa model and hub specification.
Different PX and PE models can use different front hub and spindle arrangements, so check the correct size before ordering.
Specialist parts catalogues list, for example, different front hub nuts for PX/PE applications.
Vespa Wheel Nut Covers & Hub Caps
Wheel nut covers and hub caps provide a finished appearance while helping protect the wheel hardware.
Scooter Vista stocks suitable Vespa PX and T5 wheel nut covers and hub caps.
Replacement wheel nut covers are available specifically for PX and T5 applications.
These small components are often replaced during a restoration to improve the finished appearance of the wheels.
Vespa PX PE T5 Front Hubs
The front hub contains important wheel and braking components.
Depending on the specification, the front hub assembly can incorporate:
- Wheel bearings
- Oil seals
- Brake components
- Speedometer drive
- Axle/spindle arrangement
- Wheel fixing points
Replacement Vespa PX PE T5 front hubs are available where the original hub is damaged or beyond economical repair.
Some replacement PX/PE/T5 front hubs are supplied without bearings and seals, so check exactly what is included before ordering.
Vespa PX PE T5 Rear Hubs
The rear hub transfers the engine's power to the rear wheel while also incorporating the rear brake drum.
Scooter Vista stocks Vespa PX PE T5 rear hub components, including complete rear hub sets.
Your current Scooter Vista range includes a Vespa PX PE T5 Rear Hub Set.
When servicing the rear hub, inspect:
- Hub splines
- Brake drum surface
- Hub nut
- Washer
- Oil seal
- Bearing
- Hub mounting surface
- Wheel fixing studs
Vespa Rear Hub Splines
The rear hub fits onto the gearbox output shaft using splines.
The splines are critical because they transfer engine power from the gearbox to the rear wheel.
When the rear wheel or hub is removed, inspect the splines for:
- Wear
- Damage
- Corrosion
- Rounding
- Excessive play
A badly worn rear hub should be replaced rather than reused.
Vespa Rear Hub Washers
The correct rear hub washer is an important component of the rear wheel assembly.
It provides the correct spacing and allows the hub nut to clamp the hub securely.
Always use the correct washer for the specific Vespa hub and axle arrangement.
Never substitute random washers simply because they appear to fit.
Vespa Rear Hub Nuts
The rear hub nut is a critical fastening component.
Because the rear hub transmits the engine's power to the wheel, the nut must be correctly installed and secured.
When servicing the rear hub:
- Inspect the hub splines.
- Check the washer.
- Fit the hub correctly.
- Fit the correct nut.
- Tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Fit the correct locking arrangement.
Do not overlook the condition of the hub itself when replacing the nut.
Vespa Hub Bearings
Wheel and hub bearings allow the wheel to rotate smoothly while supporting the loads placed on the wheel.
Worn bearings can cause:
- Play
- Rough rotation
- Noise
- Vibration
- Poor handling
If you can feel movement at the wheel that should not be present, inspect the bearings as well as the hub and axle.
Replacement bearings are available for suitable PX, PE and T5 applications.
Vespa Hub Oil Seals
Oil seals prevent grease or gearbox oil from reaching areas where it should not be.
The correct seal depends on the hub and axle specification.
When replacing hub bearings, it is often sensible to replace the associated oil seal at the same time.
Pay attention to the seal orientation during installation.
Vespa Front Hub Bearings & Seals
The front hub contains bearings and seals that should be checked during servicing.
When rebuilding the front hub, inspect:
- Bearing condition
- Seal condition
- Axle/spindle
- Hub bore
- Speedometer drive
- Brake components
Do not simply replace the bearing without checking the condition of the hub and spindle.
Vespa Speedometer Drive Components
On suitable Vespa models, the front hub incorporates the mechanical drive for the speedometer.
The system can include:
- Speedometer drive
- Drive gear
- Drive box
- Drive cable
- Associated washers and components
If the speedometer suddenly stops working, don't automatically assume the cable is at fault.
Check the drive mechanism within the front hub as well.
Vespa Front Hub Speedometer Drive
The speedometer drive needs to be correctly installed within the hub.
A damaged or incorrectly installed drive can result in:
- No speedometer reading
- Intermittent operation
- Noisy operation
- Premature cable wear
When rebuilding a front hub, check that the drive components are correctly located before final assembly.
Vespa Wheel Spacers
Spacers are used in various wheel and hub assemblies to ensure the correct positioning of components.
The correct spacer is important because incorrect spacing can affect:
- Bearing loading
- Hub position
- Wheel alignment
- Brake operation
Always use the correct spacer for the exact hub specification.
Vespa Wheel Bearings & Seals Kits
For a complete wheel or hub rebuild, a bearing and seal kit can be a convenient way of replacing the main wear components together.
Depending on the application, a kit may contain:
- Wheel bearings
- Oil seals
- Spacers
- Circlips
- Other associated components
Check the product description carefully to confirm exactly what is included.

Before painting or rebuilding the hubs, inspect:
- Wheel rims
- Hubs
- Studs
- Nuts
- Bearings
- Seals
- Spindles
- Speedometer drive
- Brake components

Popular options include:
- Tubeless rims
- Performance wheel rims
- New wheel studs
- Improved wheel fixing hardware
- Replacement hubs

Choosing the Correct Vespa Wheel & Hub Part
Before ordering a wheel or hub component, check:
Vespa model
PX, PE or T5
Engine capacity
Model year where relevant
Front or rear application
Hub specification
Wheel rim type
Split or tubeless rim
Bearing size
Axle/spindle specification
Original or upgraded specification
This is particularly important because Vespa PX, PE and T5 wheel and hub components changed throughout production.
