Lem CX 1
2006
2006
The 2006 Lem CX 1 is a mini-moto designed for young riders entering the world of motorcycling. As part of Lem's CX series, it aimed to provide an accessible and manageable machine for beginners. In its class, it directly competed with models like the Yamaha PW50 and Suzuki JR50, offering a similar entry point for children learning to ride.
Powering the Lem CX 1 is a 49.8 ccm (3.04 cubic inches) single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. This small but eager powerplant produces 2.0 HP (1.5 kW) and 1.6 Nm (0.2 kgf-m or 1.2 ft.lbs) of torque. With a lightweight design, the bike weighs in at just 32.0 kg (70.5 pounds), contributing to its nimble handling. Fuel capacity is a modest 2.00 litres (0.53 US gallons), suitable for shorter riding sessions. The two-stroke engine is known for its quick power delivery, making it responsive for its size.
Given its design for younger riders, the Lem CX 1 emphasizes ease of use and manageability. The seat height is a low 540 mm (21.3 inches) (at its lowest setting, if adjustable), allowing most children to comfortably reach the ground. The upright riding position promotes control and confidence, essential for new motorcyclists. Suspension is basic but adequate for handling small bumps and uneven terrain encountered in off-road environments.
The 2006 Lem CX 1 is specifically targeted at children and young teenagers who are just beginning to learn how to ride. Its simple design, low weight, and manageable power output make it an unintimidating option for introducing young riders to the fundamentals of motorcycling. While not a high-performance machine, the CX 1 provides a solid foundation for developing essential riding skills in a safe and controlled environment.
