LML eMotion

A Legacy of Innovation: From Vespa to LML Select

LML's story began in 1983 with the launch of a series of stylish Vespa scooters. These iconic vehicles revolutionized the Indian two-wheeler market, introducing a new standard for personal commuting that combined international flair, comfort, and performance. The Vespa captured the hearts of Indian riders, offering a taste of global sophistication previously unavailable.

A decade later, in 1993, LML unveiled the LML Select. This new model incorporated cutting-edge technology and a modern aesthetic, solidifying LML's position as the preferred choice for the then generation. The LML Select encompassed the spirit of stylish and dependable commuting.

LML's commitment to innovation was further recognized in 2000 by the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology. The company received this prestigious acknowledgement for its consistent success in introducing new models and upgrades, featuring more fuel-efficient engines, advanced electrical systems, adherence to stricter emission regulations, and superior styling. Over the next three decades, the company transformed from a manufacturer of stylish LML eMotion scooters into a prominent two-wheeler company. The brand became synonymous with innovation, superior engineering, a robust distribution network, and a diverse product portfolio that catered to the evolving tastes of a new-age India.

LML Graptor: Embracing Change

In 2004, LML marked its entry into the 150cc lifestyle segment with the launch of the LML Graptor.  This milestone represented the company's first indigenously designed motorcycle, a collaboration with the renowned Italian design house Ugolini. This launch marked a significant shift for LML, transitioning the company from a single-product entity to a multi-product two-wheeler manufacturer. Further solidifying this change, 2004 witnessed the simultaneous launch of three distinct models: the LML Graptor (150cc), the LML Freedom Prima (110cc), and the LML Freedom Prima (125cc).

LML's commitment to progress continued in 2009 with the introduction of a four-stroke scooter, a technological advancement over its two-stroke counterparts.
