Overview

Introducing the 2014 GAS GAS TXT e12, a remarkable fusion of cutting-edge technology and youthful adventure. Positioned in the trial motorcycle category, this electric bike is designed specifically for young riders who are eager to explore the thrilling world of trials. With its lightweight build and intuitive handling, the TXT e12 embodies the spirit of GAS GAS, a Spanish brand renowned for its commitment to performance and innovation. It’s not just a motorcycle; it’s a gateway for budding enthusiasts to develop their skills on two wheels while enjoying the benefits of electric propulsion. At the heart of the TXT e12 lies an efficient electric motor, offering a top speed of 28 km/h (17.4 mph). This powertrain not only provides a smooth and responsive ride but also eliminates the noise and emissions typically associated with traditional combustion engines. The liquid cooling system keeps the motor performing optimally during extended rides, while the automatic gearbox ensures that even novice riders can focus on mastering their technique without the distraction of manual shifting. The lightweight frame, tipping the scales at just 28.7 kg (63.3 pounds), enhances maneuverability, allowing young riders to easily navigate obstacles and hone their skills in various environments. Beyond its impressive performance, the GAS GAS TXT e12 is packed with features that enhance the riding experience. The motorcycle boasts a robust braking system, featuring a single disc with a 4-piston caliper in the front and a reliable rear disc brake, ensuring confident stopping power. The BTT suspension system, both in the front and rear, provides 164 mm (6.5 inches) of travel, absorbing shocks from rough terrains while maintaining stability. Designed with the younger rider in mind, the adjustable seat height of 470 mm (18.5 inches) allows for a customized fit, while the electric starter makes getting going a breeze. With rapid charging capabilities, achieving an 80% charge in just one hour means more time spent riding and less time tethered to a power source. **
