2016 · Scooter
The 2016 Lexmoto FM 50 is a popular entry in the budget-friendly 50cc scooter market, a segment designed for urban commuting and new riders. As a key model in Lexmoto's extensive scooter lineup, it offers an accessible option for those seeking two-wheeled mobility. In its class, the FM 50 competes directly with other economical 50cc scooters such as the Sinnis Shuttle 50 and the Kymco Agility 50, all vying for the attention of riders prioritizing cost-effectiveness and ease of use.
At the heart of the FM 50 lies a modest but capable 49.60 ccm (3.03 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates 2.88 HP (2.1 kW) at 7500 RPM, providing sufficient thrust for its intended urban environment. Torque peaks at 2.95 Nm (0.3 kgf-m or 2.2 ft.lbs) at 6500 RPM, contributing to its nimble feel from a standstill. The scooter achieves a top speed of 45.0 km/h (28.0 mph), aligning with typical 50cc restrictions and making it suitable for city streets and residential areas. With a fuel capacity of 4.50 litres (1.19 gallons), the FM 50 offers a practical range for daily commutes without frequent stops at the petrol station.
Riding the Lexmoto FM 50 is characterized by its lightweight and approachable nature. Weighing in at just 85.0 kg (187.4 pounds), it's incredibly easy to maneuver through traffic and park in tight spaces. The scooter features a relatively tall seat height of 830 mm (32.7 inches) at its lowest setting, which might be a consideration for shorter riders, though the narrowness of the seat often mitigates this. Its upright stance and automatic transmission contribute to a relaxed and intuitive riding experience, making it particularly appealing for new motorcyclists or those simply looking for a no-fuss mode of transport. The scooter's suspension setup is geared towards absorbing everyday bumps, providing a comfortable ride on typical urban surfaces.
The Lexmoto FM 50 2016 is primarily aimed at first-time riders, teenagers, and urban commuters seeking an economical and straightforward mode of transportation. Its low running costs, ease of operation, and compact dimensions make it an ideal choice for navigating crowded cityscapes or for short-distance errands. While not designed for long-distance journeys or high-speed roads, the FM 50 excels in its niche as a reliable and affordable scooter. Its overall verdict is one of practicality and accessibility, delivering exactly what is expected from an entry-level 50cc scooter.
