Engineered by Lem for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2006 Lem CX3 features a 49.8 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.2 HP (2.3 kW) while maximum torque reaches 1.6 Nm (1.2 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.1 x 41.7 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the CX3 measures 45.4 kg (100 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 729 mm (28.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,080 mm (42.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 2.49-liter (0.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
