Engineered by Lem for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2006 Lem CX1 relies on a 49.8 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2 HP (1.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 1.6 Nm (1.2 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
On the scales, the CX1 measures 32 kg (71 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 540 mm (21.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 2-liter (0.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
