2016 Lexmoto FM 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Lexmoto's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2016 Lexmoto FM 50 utilizes a 49.6 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.9 HP (2.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3 Nm (2.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.5 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the FM 50 measures 85 kg (187 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.5-liter (1.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).
