Piaggio 225564 Starter Motor Brush Holder Ring - Vespa PX 125, PX 150 (1998-2017)

The Piaggio 225564 is the starter motor brush holder plate, an original Piaggio spare part for Vespa PX 125 and PX 150. It is the disc that holds the carbon brushes in position and keeps them pressed against the commutator: when the brushes wear out or the springs lose tension, the motor turns slowly, sparks, or fails to start. Replacing it costs a fraction of a new motor and in most cases restores the electric starter to working order without needing to touch anything else.

✓ Key Strengths

• Original Piaggio spare part – code 225564, not a third-party equivalent
• Alternative to a new motor – this is the part to replace for most electric starter faults
• Wear part – the carbon brushes wear down with starting cycles: on a PX with years of service, it almost always needs renewing
• Covers the entire life of the 2-stroke PX – from historical catalogs of 1998 to the last E3 series of 2017
• In stock, immediate shipping

Who it is perfect for

This is the spare part for those who have a Vespa PX with electric starting that turns slowly, binds, or no longer starts at the push of a button, even though it may still start regularly with the kickstart. These are the typical symptoms of worn brushes: the motor no longer receives sufficient current to the commutator. It is also the piece that is replaced during any starter motor overhaul, along with cleaning the commutator. It costs a fraction of a new motor and is the first thing to try.

Frequently Asked Questions

What piece is it exactly?
It is the brush holder plate for the starter motor: the support that keeps the carbon brushes pressed against the armature commutator.

How do I know if it needs replacing?
The motor turns slowly, makes a humming noise without engaging, sounds like it is sparking, or no longer starts at the button while the Vespa starts regularly with the kickstart. When dismantling the motor, the carbon brushes appear worn.

Do I need to change the whole motor?
In most cases no: if the commutator is still intact, just renewing the brush holder plate is sufficient. If the commutator is scored or burnt, it is better to replace the complete motor (part no. 249235).

Does it fit my PX?
It is suitable for PX 125 and PX 150 with electric starting according to official Piaggio catalogs, from 1998 to 2017. For other displacements or series, send us your chassis number.

Is it original?
Yes: original Piaggio spare part, code 225564. You can find third-party equivalents for less, but they are not the same piece.
