A Long-Tail Cargo E-Bike Built as an All-Purpose Vehicle
Lemmo 3 is a long-tail cargo e-bike from Lemmo,
a micromobility company founded in Berlin in 2022. It is the first model on the
company's APV platform, short for All-Purpose Vehicle, a category the page
places between an e-bike and a light e-moped. A long-tail bike has an extended
rear frame that carries cargo or passengers. According to the page, Lemmo went
from a concept in 2023 to a prototype shown at Eurobike 2024, then through five
generations of testing up to early 2026. The page presents Lemmo 3 as a
pre-launch product, with production planned for later in 2026 and deliveries
from spring 2027.
Built for Comfort and Shared Use
The page calls its setup 4D suspension. The
rear has 80 mm of travel, which is how far a part can move to absorb a bump,
and an 80 mm hydraulic fork sits at the front. A quick-adjust seatpost adds 20
mm, and the all-terrain tires are about 65 mm wide. The high-rigidity aluminum
frame has a long wheelbase and a compact overall length, with 24-inch wheels at
the front and 20-inch wheels at the rear. An adjustable stem and a
quick-release seatpost let riders from 155 cm to 195 cm share the bike. The
riding position is upright.
Cargo, Battery and Motor
The bike has a 700 mm modular rear platform
with MIK-HD compatibility, a mounting standard for rack accessories, plus a
front rack. Maximum gross weight is 200 kg, counting the bike, the rider and
the cargo, with limits of 20 kg at the front, 80 kg at the rear and 120 kg for
the rider. The bike itself weighs 39 kg. A 960 Wh semi-solid-state battery
weighing 5 kg gives a claimed range of up to 180 km. Wh means watt-hours, a
measure of stored energy. The rear hub motor delivers 90 N·m of torque, with a nominal power of 250 W in the EU and UK, 500 W in Canada and 750 W in the US.
Riders can choose a chain drive or a belt drive.
Safety, Locks and App
The lighting includes EU K-Mark-certified
beams, automatic brake lights and turn signals. A rear-approaching
millimeter-wave radar, which uses short radio waves to detect objects, has a
stated range of 100 m. A Combined Braking System links the front and rear
brakes, with 230 mm and 180 mm discs. The anti-theft system has seven layers,
including frame and battery locks, GPS and 4G tracking, a motion alarm and a
keyless touchscreen passcode. A 3.5-inch touchscreen, over-the-air software
updates and an app that unlocks the bike with a phone key round out the
connected features. An electronic derailleur offers AI-based auto-shifting.
