GAS GAS T12
Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2018 GAS GAS T12, a mini motocross bike that perfectly caters to the younger generation of riders. Designed with a focus on safety, performance, and fun, the T12 is an ideal entry point for kids weighing up to 40 kg who are eager to dive into the exhilarating world of off-road riding. With its vibrant red and white aesthetics, this bike is not just a machine; it’s a statement of adventure and exploration tailored specifically for budding motorcyclists. Made in Spain, the T12 offers an impressive combination of top-notch engineering and user-friendly features that make it a standout in the minibike-cross category. At the heart of the T12 is its electric engine, which provides a commendable 2.01 horsepower (1.5 kW) and allows for a top speed of 52 km/h (32.3 mph). This power is channeled through an automatic gearbox, ensuring that young riders can focus on mastering their skills without the distraction of shifting gears. The bike's lightweight construction, weighing in at just 30 kg (66.1 pounds), translates to nimble handling and precise control. The hydraulic front fork and DNM gas shock absorber at the rear, which features preload adjustment, offer a comfortable ride over rough terrain, with 100 mm of front travel and 125 mm of rear travel ensuring that the T12 can absorb the bumps and jumps of a mini motocross track with ease. The T12 is packed with features that enhance both performance and safety. The electric starter ensures that getting going is as simple as pressing a button, while the integrated 48V LiNiCoMn 8.8Ah battery with Battery Management System (BMS) is both removable and easy to charge—taking approximately four hours for a full recharge. Parental control options add an extra layer of safety, allowing adults to manage the bike’s performance based on their child’s skill level. The robust tubular CrMo steel frame provides durability and stability, while the dual 160 mm disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power, instilling confidence in young riders as they navigate their surroundings. **
