Lightweight Engine

What Lightweight Engine does

Lightweight Engine (legal entity: Lättviktsmotor N Hyr AB) is a Swedish multi-brand retailer and service provider of outdoor power equipment, light vehicles, and accessories, founded in 1952 and headquartered in Norrtälje. The company operates physical retail stores in Norrtälje and Värmdö, complemented by a Sweden-wide e-commerce site (lattviktsmotor.se) and a Blocket channel for used/demo machines. It is an authorized dealer for Husqvarna, Milwaukee, Can-Am, Polaris, Sea-Doo, STIGA, Honda, STIHL, Pellenc, Silky, TORO, EGO, and others, spanning three product divisions: Forest & Garden (lawn mowers, robot mowers, chainsaws, brush cutters, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, pressure washers, wood processors, snow blowers), ATV & Recreation (ATVs, UTVs, personal watercraft, mopeds, water sports), and Building & Construction (Milwaukee M18 FUEL professional power tools). It does not develop proprietary technology; its value-add lies in curation, expert advice, in-house workshop and repair, spare parts, machine rental via Cramo, robot mower installation, demo events, and financing options through Payer and Klarna.

The business generates revenue through four streams: product sales (retail and e-commerce), workshop/service, machine rental, and parts/spare parts. Pricing follows a unit model for B2C with seasonal promotions (e.g., Gräsklippardagar) and a 10% loyalty club first-purchase discount, while consumer financing is offered via Payer (3-36 month installments, up to 9.95% APR) and Klarna, and dedicated B2B corporate accounts (Uppsala, Värmdö, Golf & Sport) receive tailored multi-year contracts. Customers include private homeowners, hobby gardeners, professional forest owners, agricultural enterprises, golf courses and sports clubs (e.g., Österåkers Golfklubb, Rimbo IF), construction/trade professionals, and recreation enthusiasts, distributed across Sweden and concentrated in the Roslagen/Stockholm region.

The company is family-owned under Peter Blomqvist (who acquired it in 2007), operates with 11-50 employees, holds PCI DSS Level 1-compliant payment infrastructure via Payer and GDPR-compliant data practices, and is positioned as "Roslagens ledande leverantör" of garden, forest, and construction machinery. Recent strategic activity emphasizes omnichannel expansion (e-commerce, Blocket, Värmdö store), new product categories (electric ATV, robotic and GPS-guided mowers, professional power tools), and recurring revenue via rental, service, and financing.
