Lemmo, a German e-bike maker, has unveiled its first cargo model, the Lemmo 3, which is among the first electric bikes to use a semi-solid state battery. The gel-like electrolyte offers higher energy density and far lower fire risk than traditional lithium-ion cells, and it stays stable even when damaged in a crash. The company claims the 960Wh pack is 20 percent smaller and lighter than a conventional equivalent while providing 30 percent longer lifespan.
The bike is built as a heavy-duty longtail, weighing 39kg with the battery, and supports a total load of 200kg. It features a rear-hub motor (750W in the US, 500W in Canada, 250W in Europe) with up to 90Nm of torque, plus an adaptive AI gear-shifting system that uses sensor data to pick optimal gears in real time. Other equipment includes integrated lighting with turn signals, a 3.5-inch touchscreen, rear-facing radar, and GPS/LTE tracking.
Lemmo is marketing the Lemmo 3 as an "eSUV" for daily commutes and errands rather than off-road use. It is compatible with MIK HD accessories, allowing child seats, bags, and boxes to be mounted on the rear rack. The battery can also power AC appliances up to 1000W and USB-C devices up to 66W when removed.
The company has opened a refundable €39.90 deposit on Kickstarter, locking in a tax-exclusive price of €1,890 (about $2,155). Retail pricing is expected to climb above €3,390. First deliveries are planned for April 2027 in the EU, UK, US, and Canada.
