LML Energy
The LML Energy was a light motorcycle from the Indian manufacturer LML ( Lohia Machinery Limited ).
Model history
LML was known since 1982 as a company that developed and produced motor scooters in cooperation with the Italian manufacturer Piaggio . After more and more four-stroke engines conquered the Indian two-market market at the end of the 1990s, the company began collaborating with the South Korean motorcycle manufacturer Daelim in 1998 . After Piaggio left LML in December 1999, attempts were now made to gain market share in the motorcycle sector.
In 2000, two technically almost identical light motorcycle models , the undisguised Kickstarter model LML Energy and the sportier LML Adreno with front fairing, electric starter and 5-speed gearbox, were developed in-house. While the Adreno had a disc brake at the front , the Energy had drum brakes on both wheels . At the start of production, both models were equipped with Daelim 100 cm 3 motors with three-valve technology. Both models gave a sporty impression, which they did not meet with the 100 cm 3 engine , which was geared more towards economy, despite the high-revving engines, so that the expected sales success did not materialize.
After a facelift at the end of 2001, the engine was replaced by the somewhat more powerful Delta 4 engine with digital ignition and 110 cm 3 from our own development, as was then used in the middle of 2002, the hopeful LML Freedom . However, this measure no longer helped both models to achieve the expected success, while the Freedom sold successfully.
