If you want to get your young ones started on two wheels, there’s no better time than now. The Pierer Mobility Group, which includes KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas, has released their 50cc and 65cc mini-crossers for kids. But that’s not all. GasGas has recently introduced the MC-E 2, a smaller electric off-roader designed for smaller kids.
The GasGas MC-E 2 is specifically designed for kids with heights ranging from 90 centimeters to 130 centimeters. It serves as a stepping stone for young riders transitioning from balance bikes to motorized two-wheelers. According to GasGas, the MC-E 2 is affordable to run, delivering over an hour of riding time on a single charge.
The MC-E 2 offers just enough power for young riders to grow into. It features three power modes that allow parents to control the power output as their child progresses. At its highest level, the motor can reach a top speed of 33 kilometers per hour (or 21 miles per hour). The motor is located in the rear hub, providing the bike with a rear-biased center of gravity and eliminating the need for a chain, which reduces maintenance.
In addition to adjustable performance, the MC-E 2 also has multiple adjustment points on the frame, ensuring that kids of different heights can confidently ride. The lightweight aluminum frame and reinforced fiberglass subframe work together to keep the weight manageable and handling precise. The bike is equipped with WP suspension, offering 90 millimeters of travel in the front and 70 millimeters in the rear.
Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to kids’ riding. GasGas understands this and has included a wrist lanyard that automatically turns off the motor when detached. The bike also has a rollover sensor that shuts off the motor if it detects that the bike has tipped over. Additionally, 140-millimeter hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power.
The GasGas MC-E 2 is already listed on GasGas’ official website and should be available at select GasGas dealerships. For accurate pricing information, it is recommended to contact your nearest GasGas dealer or visit their official website.
