There's a new GASGAS dirt bike in town - the MC-E 2. All new, and all red, it's been designed for thrill-seeking youngsters (35-51 inches tall) that want to get to grips with offroad riding. It's battery-powered, inexpensive to run, with a full charge lasting well up to 100 minutes. It also has a ridiculously quick recharging time, which means the MC-E 2 offers day long fun for all riders. Knowing that all kids will have an absolute blast tearing around the backyard on this little bike, we've fitted the MC-E 2 with three power modes and multiple options to adjust the ergonomics, so controlled progression is guaranteed. For eager kids, dirt bike riding starts right here.
SEAT HEIGHT
We get it, kids grow! Sometimes too fast... and it was for this very reason that we've designed the MC-E 2 to be adjustable in height. It's easy to do, too. As standard, the seat height is 470 mm, which can be increased to 500 mm by installing the rear shock in the alternative position and by moving the front forks down through the triple clamps. Additionally, the footpegs can be fitted at two different heights to tailor the ergonomics to suit a wider variety of kids.
ELECTRIC SILENCE
To keep things simple and super safe, the MC-E 2 motor is housed inside the rear wheel's hub! This clever design removes the need for a chain and sprockets, which means this bike only requires minimal maintenance. The motor is also close to silent, incredibly durable, and offers only one drive setting so that youngsters can learn how to ride safely and with no distractions.
BODYWORK
All red from front to back, because after all the MC-E 2 is a GASGAS dirt bike! The bold graphics are applied using an in-mold process, which means they can't peel off or fade while a red seat completes the distinctive look.
HANDLEBARS & GRIPS
Designed with kids in mind, the handlebars are both light and strong. They have a modern bend, aren't too wide, and there's a reduced diameter at the ends where the slimmer profile ODI lock-on grips are fitted. All these features combine to allow youngsters to ride with a confidence inspiring grip and in complete control of the MC-E 2.
FRAME
Low in weight so that the MC-E 2 is a blast to ride for hours and hours, the aluminum frame is both strong and durable. Just like the reinforced fiberglass subframe!
WP SUSPENSION
Just like our bigger dirt bikes, the MC-E 2 features WP suspension. Up front, the hydraulic forks offers 90mm of travel with the shock providing 70mm of travel, as well as pre-load adjustment. With its capable suspension soaking up bumps and jumps with ease, the MC-E 2 allows youngsters to discover and enjoy riding offroad. Which, as we all know, is awesome!
CHASSIS
It's built to last! Our engineers know that some kids will ride all day long, which is why they designed the chassis to be strong while keeping overall weight as low as possible. High quality forged aluminum is used for many components including the top triple clamp, handlebar mounts, and footpeg hangers. And just like the bigger GASGAS dirt bikes, the swingarm is made from die-cast aluminum for reduced rigidity.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
To keep things simple and super safe, the MC-E 2 motor is housed inside the rear wheel's hub! This clever design removes the need for a chain and sprockets, which means this bike only requires minimal maintenance. The motor is also close to silent, incredibly durable, and offers only one drive setting so that youngsters can learn how to ride safely and with no distractions.
SMART LED
Check out this cool Multi-Function Display unit! It's super sleek and lets parents switch between three ride modes. Different colour LEDs indicate which mode is activated: You've got a blue light for a chill walking speed, white for medium power, and green for zooming at a top speed of 33 km/h. Plus, it shows you the battery level in a glance.
BATTERY
Kids can ride the MC-E 2 for up to 100 minutes before the battery needs recharging, which is a long time for most youngsters! However, the BLi300 battery that powers this bike is the same as the one from most HUSQVARNA power tools. With a few spares charged up and ready to use, it's easy to keep riding all day long - especially if the bike is being shared among siblings!
CHARGER
What's not to like about an 80% recharge within 35 minutes? Alternatively, as the battery is the same ad what´s used in the most HUSQVARNA power tools, it's possible to replace the battery in a matter of seconds. This feature is particularly handy when multiple kids want to ride the MC-E 2 as it means that no one misses out on the fun!
SAFETY
Nervous parents can relax as our engineers know a thing or two about keeping kids safe on two wheels. Firstly, there's a lanyard that fits around the rider's wrist so if their hand is removed from the handlebars the motor immediately switches off. Secondly, a rollover sensor disengages power to the rear wheel whenever the MC-E 2 isn't rubber side down.
BRAKES
With a top speed of 33 km/h, fitting hydraulic brakes with 140mm disks to the MC-E 2 was essential! Capable of slowing things down in a real hurry, the brakes offer a consistent action and are controlled by levers on the bars that can be easily adjusted to suit riders of all ages.
WHEELS
There’s a lot to like when it comes to the 10" wheels on the MC-E 2. They’re maintenance free, made from lightweight aluminum, and finished with a black powder coating for a distinctive look. They’re then wrapped with offroad KENDA tires for outstanding grip. They won’t tear up the lawn too much… we promise!
