Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2018 GAS GAS E12, a revolutionary minibike designed specifically for the next generation of riders. Nestled in the exciting world of electric motorcycles, the E12 stands out as an entry-level option that perfectly balances performance with safety. Targeting young enthusiasts weighing up to 40 kg, this compact powerhouse is not just a bike; it’s a gateway to adventure, encouraging kids to explore the thrills of off-road riding while giving parents peace of mind through integrated safety features. Made in Spain, the E12 embodies the spirit of GAS GAS with a commitment to quality and innovation. At the heart of the E12 lies an electric engine that delivers a respectable 2.01 horsepower (1.5 kW), allowing young riders to experience a top speed of 52 km/h (32.3 mph). The automatic gearbox simplifies the riding experience, making it accessible for beginners, while the chain final drive ensures reliable power transfer.

The hydraulic front fork and DNM gas shock absorber at the rear, with adjustable preload, offer 100 mm and 125 mm of travel respectively, ensuring that even the bumpiest trails are navigated with ease and comfort. The E12 is packed with features that enhance both performance and safety. Its tubular CrMo steel frame boasts durability without compromising agility, while the dual 160 mm disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in any condition. The electric starter is a breeze to use, allowing for quick getaways, and the 48V LiNiCoMn 8.8Ah battery with integrated Battery Management System (BMS) can be easily removed for convenient charging—taking only four hours to fully recharge. Available in vibrant red and white color options, the E12 not only looks striking but is also equipped with parental control options, ensuring that parents can monitor and limit their child's riding experience. **
