I’d like to buy an M. The Lemo One becomes the Lemmo One.

A lot has happened in the past few days at Hypaths, the start-up behind the Lemo One ebike. We briefly summarise the most important news for you.

1. New name

The most striking change is the new brand name. The previous “Lemo” has now become “Lemmo”. The five letters stand for “Light Electric Micro Mobility”. According to Hypaths itself, the addition of “Micro” was so crucial that it was imperative to expand the name. “Mobility is a broad term. Given our vision for the company, the Lemmo brand is much more concise,” explains Brand Director Toni Pavic. “As we expanded our activities and services, we realised that we needed a brand identity that better reflected our mission and values. The rebrand has been in the works for some time, and we are excited to finally present it to the world.”

The new name symbolises the manufacturer’s commitment to sustainable transport options that benefit all, he said. It represents innovation and the energy and passion with which they approach their work every day. Pavic was optimistic that the name would be well received by both customers and partners.

2. New model

The second innovation concerns the actual core business, i.e. the production of ebikes. With a limited number of 100 for the time being, Lemmo is expanding its range with a variant of the Lemmo One with a belt drive. At the launch last year, pictures were already on display that showed models with a belt drive in addition to derailleur gears. During the ordering process on the manufacturer’s website, you can now select a CDX carbon belt from Gates instead of the Shimano Deore with ten gears in the configurator for a limited time.

Lemmo One now also available with single speed drive.

This decision has two serious consequences. Firstly, you say goodbye to all gear changes. Lemmo combines the belt with a singlespeed drive. It is therefore worth considering carefully whether the significantly lower maintenance of the belt outweighs the greater flexibility of derailleur gears when riding on routes with one or two climbs.

Secondly, the price of the bike increases. If you opt for the Gates belt, you add 200 euros to each. As an ebike, the Lemmo One then costs 2,190 euros instead of 1,990 euros with the derailleur. In the version without the Smartpac battery, the model is available for 1,290 euros instead of 1,090 euros.

3. New shipping option

With the third piece of news, Lemmo is perhaps causing the greatest excitement among prospective customers. From now on, shipping is extended to the whole of Germany. Until now, it was quite a hassle to get hold of one of the copies. After ordering online, the ebike had to be picked up at the flagship store in Berlin. This is now changing fundamentally. According to information from Lemmo, it should only take four weeks from the time you place your order until it is delivered to your home.
