Overview

Introducing the 2017 GAS GAS E12, a dynamic minibike-cross that perfectly blends fun and functionality, specifically designed for young riders weighing up to 40 kg. With its vibrant red and white color scheme, the E12 not only turns heads but also positions itself as a reliable entry-level electric motorcycle for kids eager to explore the world of off-road riding. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail in Spain, this electric minibike embodies the spirit of adventure, making it an ideal choice for parents looking to introduce their children to the thrill of motorcycling in a safe and controlled manner. At the heart of the GAS GAS E12 is its efficient electric engine, delivering a modest yet exhilarating 2.01 horsepower. This power translates to a top speed of 52 km/h (32.3 mph), allowing young riders to experience a taste of adventure without overwhelming them. The automatic gearbox ensures a smooth and hassle-free riding experience, enabling beginners to focus on mastering their skills without the complexities of shifting gears. The lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 30 kg (66.1 pounds), combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.0670 HP/kg, provides nimble handling and responsive acceleration, making it easy for kids to maneuver through tight trails or open fields. The E12 is packed with features that enhance not only performance but also safety. Its robust tubular CrMo steel frame ensures durability, while the hydraulic front fork and DNM gas shock absorber at the rear provide ample suspension travel—100 mm at the front and 125 mm at the rear—cushioning every bump along the way. The bike is equipped with reliable single disc brakes on both the front and rear, measuring 160 mm in diameter, delivering confident stopping power when needed. Notably, the 48V LiNiCoMn battery, featuring an integrated Battery Management System (BMS), is removable and can be fully charged in just four hours, offering convenience for busy families. With parental control options, you can set limits on speed and power, ensuring peace of mind while your child develops their riding skills. **
