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 bike’s lightweight design—clocking in at just 30.0 kg (66.1 pounds)—coupled with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.0670 HP/kg, provides an exhilarating yet manageable ride. 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. **

Pros

  • User-Friendly: The automatic gearbox and lightweight design make it easy for beginners to handle.
  • Safety Features: Integrated parental controls and solid braking system enhance safety for young riders.
  • Eco-Friendly Performance: The electric engine offers a quiet and sustainable riding experience without emissions.

Cons

  • Top Speed Restriction: The maximum speed of 52 km/h might feel restrictive for those seeking more thrilling adventures.
  • Battery Range: Depending on usage and terrain, the electric range might be a concern for longer rides without frequent recharging.
