GasGas has updated its MC-E 5 electric bike for 2025 with water cooling and all-new frame. It also will come with new graphics, Neken bars and ODI grips. MSRP starts at $5449 and it is expected to be in dealers in November.
Here is the complete press release from GasGas…
Introducing water cooling on the MC-E 5 is a real, real game changer. It keeps the 5kW electric motor at a perfect temperature for consistent power. One thing that does stay the same though is the fast recharging of the battery. It takes around 45 mins for an 80% recharge, or better yet, it’s easy to swap out the battery for a fully charged one, which means the fun doesn’t stop for long!
Besides the exciting motor news, the frame is all-new for 2025. Designed specifically for the MC-E 5, the chassis is engineered with refined flex characteristics. The end result? A much more stable and enjoyable riding experience for kids of all ages. The new frame also repositions the WP shock so that it performs even better, especially on the roughest of race tracks.
If you didn’t already know, the MC-E 5 is fully fledged motocross bike. And it’s for this very reason that we’ve fitted the same bodywork that you’ll find on our full size models, just scaled down accordingly to create perfect, kid friendly ergonomics. Now, the MC-E 5 is a lot easier to have fun on as the riding experience is a considerable improvement over the outgoing model. And of course, new graphics, with a splash of blue to indicate its electric drive, create a cool look for the little red ripper.
There’s a lot to love about the MC-E 5. It makes no noise, meaning it can be ridden almost anywhere. It offers six ride modes, so progression is controlled. And the overall height can be adjusted so that kids can keep riding the same bike as they build up their skills and confidence. The MC-E 5 is also built with plenty of safety features, high quality parts, and thanks to its black bars and rims, it looks the business too.
