Lemmo 3 APV: full-suspension longtail cargo bike heads to Kickstarter in October

LEMMO teases its first full-suspension longtail cargo bike: 960 Wh of semi-solid-state cells, a Kickstarter in October and deliveries promised for spring 2027.

Lemmo 3 APV: full-suspension longtail cargo bike heads to Kickstarter in October

IN BRIEF

According to its official timeline, LEMMO opened the pre-launch page for the LEMMO 3 APV in August 2026, the first model on its All-Purpose Vehicle platform. On it, the Berlin-based manufacturer presents a longtail cargo bike suspended at the front and at the rear, which the title of its own page bills as the “World 1st Full Suspension Cargo E-Bike” — a first that suspended cargo bikes already on sale contradict. One official image shows a 960 Wh battery with semi-solid-state cells; according to the brand, the rest of the spec sheet will not arrive until September. The Kickstarter campaign will open in October, for deliveries announced for spring 2027 — two years after the date LEMMO was promising for its concept in 2024.

A black silhouette on a black background, a coil shock, a knobbly tyre. The LEMMO 3 APV pre-launch page sticks to these fragments. It does, on the other hand, announce a full timeline and opens sign-ups for a crowdfunding campaign planned for October.


A longtail suspended at both ends

The images released by LEMMO show a linkage-mounted coil shock, a telescopic fork at the front and wide knobbly tyres. The title of the official page presents it as the “World 1st Full Suspension Cargo E-Bike”. The claim should be taken for what it is: Riese & Müller already sells the Load5 75, an electric cargo bike suspended at both ends, with 80 mm of travel at the front and at the rear. Judging by the silhouettes published by the brand, the front wheel is noticeably larger than the rear wheel.

What matters happens at the rear, where the children and the shopping travel, and where the bike takes the cobbles and the kerbs.

960 Wh of semi-solid-state cells for the Lemmo 3 APV

A single figure appears on the page, spelled out on an official image: 960 Wh, under the label “Semi-Solid-State Cells”. Semi-solid-state technology replaces part of the liquid electrolyte of conventional lithium-ion batteries with a gel. In the image, the pack has a carrying handle.

According to the official page, specifications, configurations and pricing structure will be announced in September 2026. The motor, the range and the payload are among the details LEMMO defers to that date.

Talking to your passengers without raising your voice

Another image links the rider’s helmet to those of two children seated at the rear by means of sound waves. The page puts the question plainly: “Even chat easily with my crew during the ride?”. How it works, though, is deferred to September.

LEMMO positions the APV between the electrically assisted longtail and the light moped, with a stated goal: allowing families to “potentially reduce their dependence on a second car”, and only “for some journeys”.

Two years between the promise and the delivery

The project drags a long history behind it. The brand says it showed its first prototype at Eurobike 2024, under the name APV Concept. The campaign page of the time, archived on 14 July 2024, announced in English: “Pre-order coming soon, available from early 2025”, with a €99 discount on the pre-order for anyone who signed up.

Early 2025 came and went with neither orders nor deliveries. The brand now puts the start of shipping at spring 2027, after an engineering phase it sums up as “5 generations of testing”.

A price still hidden

The launch price is shown as “from € ?,990”, the thousands digit replaced by a question mark. The euro is displayed by default, including in the English version.

According to LEMMO, the Kickstarter campaign will open in October 2026 and will target “most European Union countries”, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. That is what the form is for: the brand promises an extra discount to anyone who subscribes to its newsletter and then follows the project on Kickstarter, a discount “sent directly by email via Kickstarter on launch day”.

What is left is a black page, a battery figure and a timeline. For a bike shown to the public as far back as Eurobike 2024, that is thin — and it is already the second delivery date announced.
