Promotion: Berlin-based micro-mobility brand Lemmo has launched two e-bike models, which spotlight how digital integration and enhanced flexibility can transform travel.
Lemmo One Collab.Ride is equipped with smart technology designed to support the rider's biking experience, whereas Lemmo Zero has a compact structure that can be transported globally with minimal effort.
Both Lemmo's e-bike models are equipped with smart technology systems and are part of the brand's Dual Mode Vehicle platform (DMV), which combines electric and non-electric riding capabilities within a single system.
This enables users to transition between assisted and unassisted modes depending on conditions and preferences.
Lemmo explained that when designing both models, it not only focused on portability and system integration but also on how bicycles are part of a connected mobility ecosystem.
By placing flexibility into the hands of its riders, Lemmo's e-bikes intend to support a sustainable future whilst also being a frontrunner in micro-mobility innovation.
The Lemmo One Collab.Ride is the brand's latest urban e-bike built around a new vehicle architecture called Fully Electrified AI-centred Vehicle Architecture (FEAVA).
The model builds on its predecessor – the Lemmo One – designed by Amsterdam-based studio Springtime, which received the Red Dot Design Award Best of the Best and the iF Design Award.
With its concealed cables and integrated lighting, the e-bike has a minimalist appearance. Beneath its frame are AI-assisted sensors that monitor cadence, terrain, torque and riding conditions.
Lemmo explained that its smart technology enables the e-bike to provide assistance and shift gears in real time by anticipating rider behaviour. It also optimises gear selection based on environmental conditions and riding patterns.
"The result is intended to feel less mechanical and more intuitive, particularly in stop-and-go urban traffic," explained Lemmo.
"Instead of selecting predefined riding modes such as 'Eco' or 'Sport', riders can maintain a natural riding style, while electric assistance and shifting gears adapt seamlessly in the background."
For Lemmo, the design of Lemmo One Collab.Ride is a "shift away" from fixed hardware configurations and towards a smoother riding experience, which is shaped by a collaboration between rider input and adaptive digital systems.
While the Lemmo One is focused on optimising performance, the Lemmo Zero prioritises portability and multimodal mobility.
Designed by Munich-based Zanzotti Industrial Design, the compact e-bike can be easily transported globally, including being carried onto flights.
The bike folds into a suitcase-sized format for transport and storage. It is equipped with a removable Smartpac Air battery engineered to remain just below the 160 Watt-hour (Wh) airline limit.
Lemmo explained that its design reframes the e-bike as a portable mobility device capable of allowing riders flexibility when transitioning between cars, different public transport systems and air travel.
According to the brand, this particularly helps individuals in urban environments, where car parking constraints and congestion are increasingly having an impact on commuter time.
Lemmo One's design was also recognised with an iF Design Award.
"Across both projects, Lemmo’s industrial design language is defined by precision engineering and system-level integration, combining minimal surfaces, integrated hardware and digitally driven user experiences," the brand explained.
"In Lemmo’s vision of the city, the bicycle becomes less a standalone object and more a seamless bridge between walking and car-based mobility."
Lemmo's system-based approach has resulted in multiple collaborations with multiple electric vehicle manufacturers such as NIO, XPeng and Volkswagen.
Most recently, it developed a special-edition Lemmo Zero for Volkswagen’s ID.UNYX 08 model in China.
