The LMX 64: A Premium E-Mountain Bike
The LMX 64 epitomizes LMX’s dedication to crafting high-performance electric bikes. Designed, manufactured, and hand-assembled at our factory in France, the LMX 64 features a patented dual transmission system and an aggressive off-road design. This innovative bike promises an unparalleled riding experience, blending power, range, and lightness for off-road enthusiasts.
The LMX 64 is a Class 2 ebike in North America, with restricted power and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). However, off-road riders and racers can unleash more power up to 2500W and speed for off-road or competition use.
Key Features of the LMX 64

Innovative Technology and Design
The LMX 64’s patented dual-freewheel transmission sets it apart, enabling the concept of a reliable, powerful, and lightweight off-road speed bike. This system incorporates two independent chains – one for pedaling and one for the motor side – limiting wear and breakage and providing total independence of assistance modes up to 45 km/h. The motorcycle-style handlebar-mounted throttle adds an element of freedom and control, ideal for navigating obstacles or steep inclines.
