GASGAS is stoked to add a brand-new dirt bike to its 2027 line-up – the MC-E 2.12! Designed specifically for kids from the wheels up, this electric model makes it easy for youngsters to get into riding offroad safely.
All red, with black wheels – just like the full-size GASGAS machines – ensures the MC-E 2.12 looks the business. The returning MC-E 2 completes the e-mini range for 2027 and allows more children to get in on the action from a really young age.
Both the MC-E 2.12 and MC-E 2 make it really easy for kids to get started in the world of riding offroad. Since these models are battery-powered, they make no noise, which offers endless riding possibilities.
Each bike uses the same motor that’s conveniently housed inside the hub of the rear wheel. This design ensures maximum safety, as there’s no chain or sprockets, and keeps overall maintenance to a minimum. All they really need is a wash when they’re dirty, and a quick check of the tyre pressures before each ride. That really is about it.
When the battery runs low, it can recharge to 80% in just 35 minutes, with a full charge taking roughly one hour. Plus, the battery uses the same fitment as found on modern power tools, so if you have charged-up spares, the fun doesn’t have to stop!
Both models also boast another cool feature – adjustable ergonomics. With basic tools, the seat height can be raised easily, which means the little rider in your life can stick with the same bike for a little bit longer. Other cool features and components to mention include three ride modes with varying top speeds, WP suspension, KENDA tyres, aluminum frame and swingarm, and hydraulic disk brakes.
Technical Highlights
Removable, fast-charging Li-ion battery
A full recharge takes roughly one hour or, for the really eager young riders, an 80% charge can be reached in around 35 minutes.
Adjustable ergonomics
The MC-E 2.12 can be adjusted in size using basic tools so as children grow, they can continue honing their skills on the same bike before moving onto a bigger model in the GASGAS line-up.
Low maintenance
Battery-powered. No chain, no sprockets, no pre-mixing fuel. Just easy, hassle-free riding.
Safety features
A rollover sensor cuts power if the bike tips over. Rider can also loop a lanyard around their left wrist so if their hand is removed, the motor stops immediately. Three power modes also allow for controlled progression.
Hydraulic disk brakes
Hydraulic brake systems front and rear are mated to disk brakes to provide confidence-boosting stopping power.
Strong wheels
Maintenance-free wheels are wrapped with offroad tyres from KENDA. The MC-E 2 has 10-inch wheels while the MC-E 2.12 features a larger 12-inch front.
Modern design
All red, vibrant graphics, and black wheels. The renowned GASGAS look.
Top speed of 33 km/h
Mode one helps new riders ease into things with a modest top speed of 7 km/h. Mode two bumps it up to 20 km/h, while mode three unleashes the full 33 km/h – these little bikes can rip!
Quality components
Parts from WP, KENDA and ODI, together with black-anodised wheels and handlebars, underline the quality build of each bike.
The 2027 GASGAS MC-E 2.12 will be available for £2,549, arriving in authorised GASGAS dealers from November 2026.
