Positioned in Lem's minibike, cross motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Lem R2 features a 49.8 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.5 HP (8.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.7 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the R2 measures 41 kg (90 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.57 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 610 mm (24 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 914 mm (36 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
