Gas Gas Goes Electric

After Gas Gas presented the premiere of the electric motorcycle at the Milan show with the prototype TXT e4820 trial bike, the company has decided to take another step in the introduction of electric technology in the world of off-road with a new family of 'zero emission' bikes with the first model an initiation into the world of trial.

The new TXTe children adds to the range of models for youngsters including the Boy, Cadet and Rookie of the TXT line. The new TXT e8 and TXT e12 have been developed from past experience in Gas Gas youth bikes, adopting the latest technology in electric drive and high capacity batteries as well as quick charge. The TXT e8 model has 8 inch wheels, a tubular chassis and a 0.5 kW motor, with the dual batteries lasting 2 hours. The TXT e12 goes a step further and has 12-inch wheels and a motor of 0.75 kW. There are three batteries and a higher capacity that maintains an operating range of 2 hours to respond to the higher consumption of the more powerful motor.
