About LMX
LMX for Lightweight Motocross (MX)
The LMX story
All started with passion. Originally, we wanted to bring to market the freeride electric two-wheeler of our dreams : an ultra-powerful electric mountain bike.
The chassis of the first prototypes was not strong enough and suitable for pedaling at the time, so the pedals had to be replaced by toe clips. The ebike turned into an electric motorcycle with a look close to a downhill mountain bike.
Our ambition then became to develop an all-terrain electric two-wheeler, lighter, more fun and therefore more manageable than a thermal motorcycle.
More pleasure and less constraints in off-road leisure practice !
The LMX 161 lightweight electric motorcycle was born.
But the desire for a pedal two-wheeler has not left our minds. We have worked on a double transmission technology, making possible the concept of a light, powerful and fun vehicle. The LMX 81 was therefore developed, and became the brand’s first 45km/h speed bike.
History continues to be written every day, thanks to the innovation and inventiveness demonstrated by the LMX team !
