2016 · Scooter
The 2016 Lexmoto FMR 50 represents a popular entry point into two-wheeled transportation, particularly for younger riders or those seeking economical urban mobility. As part of Lexmoto's extensive range of budget-friendly scooters, the FMR 50 followed in the footsteps of previous successful 50cc models from the brand, aiming to capture a significant share of the learner-legal market. Its direct competitors in the UK market included models like the Sinnis Shuttle 50 and the WK Bikes SP50, all vying for riders seeking a cost-effective and easy-to-manage daily commuter.
At the heart of the 2016 Lexmoto FMR 50 is a modest 50.00 ccm (3.05 cubic inches) single-cylinder engine. This powerplant generates 3.50 HP (2.6 kW), which is typical for its class and designed for efficient rather than rapid acceleration. The scooter achieves a top speed of 85.0 km/h (52.8 mph), making it suitable for navigating urban environments and even some faster B-roads, though it won't be breaking any speed records. With a fuel capacity of 4.50 litres (1.19 gallons), the FMR 50 offers a practical range for daily commutes without frequent stops at the petrol station. Its light curb weight of 86.0 kg (189.6 pounds) further contributes to its nimble handling and ease of maneuverability.
Riding the FMR 50 is characterized by its accessible nature. As a scooter, it inherently offers a relaxed, upright riding position, making it comfortable for short to medium-distance journeys. The seat, set at 830 mm (32.7 inches) at its lowest point, might be a consideration for shorter riders, but its narrow profile generally aids in flat-footing at stops. The lightweight design, combined with automatic transmission, ensures that even novice riders can quickly gain confidence in traffic. The FMR 50 is designed for practicality, offering under-seat storage typical of its scooter category, useful for stowing a helmet or small bag.
The 2016 Lexmoto FMR 50 is primarily aimed at new riders, urban commuters, and those seeking a highly economical mode of transport. Its low running costs, straightforward operation, and learner-legal status make it an attractive option for younger individuals acquiring their first set of wheels, or for anyone needing an affordable way to navigate city streets. While not built for performance, its reliability and ease of use in congested areas make it a sensible choice for its intended audience. It's a no-frills, functional scooter that delivers on its promise of accessible two-wheeled mobility.
