22 Honda CRF-E2 Review [15 Fast Facts: Electric Motorcycle Test]
The first electric motorcycle from Honda is here, and it might not be what you expected—the new 2022 Honda CRF-E2 is a trail bike for kids. The CRF-E2 is manufactured and designed by Greenger Powersports, with Honda helping with the setup of the final version. The result is described as a Honda Official Licensed Product, and we call it a Honda CRF-E2 because we’re a motorcycle publication. We grabbed one of the first E2s available from Greenger, and then let our youngest test rider loose on the local trails.
- The 2022 Honda CRF-E2 is a quality motorcycle. The frame is a twin-spar aluminum design patterned after Honda’s adult motocrossers, disc brakes slow it down, Kenda Millville K771 tires put the electric power to the ground, and the E2 has a linkage-less cantilevered shock with adjustment for rebound damping and spring preload. The motorcycle looks great, and the finish is up to Honda standards. This isn’t a cheap toy you’ll find at hardware or department stores. It is sold exclusively at Honda dealers with a list price of 2950.
- The size of the CRF-E2 is midway between a Honda CRF50F and CRF110F. The E2’s seat is adjustable to a height of either 24.8 or 25.5 inches. In the low position, the seat is 3.2 inches higher than the CRF50F, and the high seat position is 0.4 inches lower than the CRF110F. Test rider Avery Bart is almost 8 years old, stands 4 feet 2 inches, and weighs 48 pounds, and the E2 fits her perfectly. Speaking of weight, at 106 pounds filled with electrons, the E2 is four pounds lighter than the CRF50F and a staggering 64 pounds lighter than the CRF110F—a huge difference for a young rider.
- Operating the Honda CRF-E2 is incredibly easy. It has a keyed ignition. Once the key is in the switched to the on position, the rider or supervising adult can select one of two power modes. With the power mode engaged, push the on button (a repurposed e-start button), and all the rider has to do is twist the throttle. It’s instantly game-on, as the fully automatic one-speed transmission means no clutch or gear shifting. Any youngster of sufficient size who can balance a bicycle will be able to ride the E2.
- There is a significant difference between the two power modes. Stage 1 limits the speed of the E2 to 10 mph, while Stage 2 ups the ante to 20 mph. The 3.4 horsepower peak output is not nearly as important as the 18.4 ft-lbs of torque available. Without any doubt, the CRF-E2 is not underpowered.
- Taking off from a standing start is not as smooth in Stage 1 as we’d like it to be. Electric motors on motorcycles are only as usable as the controller for the motor. With so much torque available as soon as an electric motor turns, it must be padded down for the power to be usable. In Stage 1, we found the power delivery too abrupt when getting underway, especially when the rider is trying to work through obstacles that require turning the wheel. Once the rider gets going, the throttle response is just right, and the 10-mph speed restriction will please nervous parents.
- Put the 2022 Honda CRF-E2 in Stage 2, and it’s a little rocketship. The Greenger representative we spoke with reminded us that the E2 is a trailbike, not a racebike. While we respect that, the power delivered in Stage 2 will undoubtedly have a young hot shoe looking for friends to dice with. It’s fun watching the E2 tear around in Stage 2, and especially odd when all you hear is the whine of the electric motor.
- We think the CRF-E2 controller should be a bit more high-tech. Rather than only having two fixed modes, we want the ability to fine-tune throttle response. A parent should be able to dial in the throttle response over a wide range, as well as the maximum output. Ideally, it would be doable via Bluetooth and a mobile app. While Honda and Greenger are at it, an adult-controlled kill switch would be a great safety feature.
- The chassis is perfectly matched to the motor. The suspension worked fine for Avery in both modes, and we had her out on some pretty bumpy trails. She isn’t ready for airtime, though the Honda promo photos show the E2 being jumped, so that activity is within its intended use.
- The suspension setup balances the needs of riders who just want to putt, while still providing the taut action needed for Stage 2 kids. When adults hop on—as they invariable will—the rear suspension nearly bottoms out. That tells you it’s set up for kids under the maximum weight of 99 pounds. At 44 pounds, Avery had no complaints. The shock has rebound-damping adjustment, which seems superfluous on a trailbike for kids. If your youngster asks for damping adjustments, it’s time for a racebike. Suspension travel is just under four inches at each end—plenty, thanks to the settings, and a perfect match to the motor.
- The Kenda Millville K771 tires are a great choice. This intermediate tire worked on the various terrain we tested on—rocky, hard pack, and sandy. The two 12-inch rims are mounted with 60/100 tires. Honda and Greenger should upgrade to a 14-inch front wheel so the CRF-E2 can better roll over off-road obstacles.
- Avery challenged herself more confidently on the Honda CRF-E2 than on 50cc motorcycles. The predictable power delivery of the whirring motor allows learning riders to FOCUS on acquiring new skills. There’s no auto-clutch engagement or gear shifting to think about. The rider prepares for the new tasks—riding through rock gardens to tackling modest hillclimbs, for example—without distraction. The E2 is an outstanding learning tool.
- The hydraulic disc brakes are simple and easy to use. Each is controlled by an adjustable lever on the aluminum handlebar. Avery likes the action of the brakes, and we haven’t seen her struggle with them. With the E2 having no foot controls, the rider’s feet are securely planted on the stout footpegs.
- Runtime for the 2022 Honda CRF-E2’s lithium-ion battery is listed at two hours, and it wasn’t an issue for us. While Avery wasn’t shredding, she has tested the E2 on some tricky power-sucking terrain. It takes four hours to bring the battery from flat to full with the standard charger—the optional quick charger takes two hours to get the battery to an 80 percent charge. If your rider drains the battery before running out of personal energy, the battery can be easily swapped out. However, you’ll be dropping 1k for that second battery—worth it if your rider is inexhaustible.
- There’s pretty much no maintenance required. With no motor oil, no air filter, and no cable-actuated controls, the E2 takes care of itself. The chain might require adjustment now and then, depending on how hard the bike is ridden. You definitely don’t have to be a gearhead to own a CRF-E2.
- For a young rider learning the powered two-wheeled ropes, the 2022 Honda CRF-E2 is undeniably enticing. It’s a strong performer, backed up by the Honda dealer network, incredibly easy to keep running, can be ridden in untraditional locations, and puts huge smiles on kids’ faces. You can’t beat that for less than 3000.

If it has two wheels, Ultimate Motorcycling has the inside scoop. From the latest motorcycle and apparel reviews, to MotoGP results and OEM sales reports, Ultimate Motorcycling covers it all. Our small but passionate staff works endlessly to deliver quality and enjoyable motorcycle content.
Have you seen the Sport Heritage range of Yamahas? They are the classically styled performance motorcycles taking the US by storm. I’ve been riding the gorgeous-looking Yamaha XSR900 and its great looks are more than backed up by its phenomenal performance. Visit YamahaMotorsports.com to find out more about the exciting Heritage line, or check it out for yourself at your local dealer today.
Editor Don Williams is a dirt-bike nut. He rode competitive Trials for over 30 years, and he and his wife ride every weekend—and sometimes more—on every type of off-road machine they can lay their hands on. Interestingly, he’s never had the chance to ride a Grand National Cross Country off-road race course, but recently he finally had the chance to do so. As a guest of KTM, Don was able to sample the range of KTM Cross Country XC models, and in this first segment he tells us about the differences he found, as well as the thrill of riding a full GNCC course for the first time.
In our second segment, Teejay Adams chats with a couple of adventure-seeking Aussies. Stu and Janell and their three dogs, have been riding all over the world for the last ten years—and visited 108 countries—aboard their two BMW 650 GS adventure motorcycles. Calling themselves “The Pack Track” their adventures are chronicled on their blog. Teejay gets the lowdown on some of their experiences—good and bad—and the challenge of crossing borders with canines along for the ride. Actually, they will be touring the USA from June to October this year, starting in Sacramento, California, before making their way across to the North East part of the US, and then finishing back in Dallas, Texas where they first started. On the tour they will be giving free presentations at a number of motorcycle dealerships, so check out their schedule and hopefully get along to meet them in person.
So, from everyone here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode.
All you need to know about best electric dirt bike Australia
You must have heard the word dirt bike. off-road motorcycle or motocross many times. You have seen it on TV, following exciting competitions full of crazy, fearless jumps and moves. But you must be wondering, “W hat is an electric dirt bike? ” and “ How is it any different from the dirt bikes we have seen so far? ” Well, first of all, and most importantly, electric dirt bikes are clean and eco-friendly. They silently run on battery power, and you won’t see any fuel tank on them. But that does not make them any less cool than a regular dirt bike that runs on petrol. They can be even more sportive because when riding an electric version of a dirt bike, you need to pedal while getting assistance from the motor. Actually, that feature applies to all-electric bike models and not just dirt bikes. So, technically, an electric dirt bike is a motorised off-road bicycle with an integrated electric motor to support pedalling. It is designed for use on rugged bumpy terrains such as dirt roads and trails.
Does an electric dirt bike look different?
There is one word to describe the look of an electric dirt bike and that word is “ cool ”. It evokes adventure. The frame is mainly made of aluminium as it needs to be lightweight for all the jumps and air tricks. Do not look for an exhaust pipe, obviously because it runs on battery. The handlebar is flat compared to electric street bikes, the reason is the design helps tight gripping and of course, it works the best in hard turns. Suspension is usually stronger as it has to absorb heavy shocks and finally, the prominent strong tyres make the look even more dynamic. One thing for sure is that without even knowing about electric dirt bikes and by only looking at the image you can simply guess what the bike is for and that is thrill and excitement.
Are electric dirt bikes street legal in Australia?
Sometimes you might want to enjoy a ride on city streets and not on dirt trails. That is what you need to consider before you decide on a specific bike model. There are some electric bike models which have to be taken only off-road and some others are street legal. However this rule might differ from country to country and state to state. Yet, remember that street-legal bikes normally should have specific features on frame structure, tyres, lights, mirrors, switches etc. Assuming that your bike speed range is within limits, what makes it OK to run in the city is the fact that it works on battery power; compared to a non-electric dirt-bike, it is clean and environmentally friendly. There is no emission for which you would have to equip your bike with a spark arrestor to get a permit to ride on city streets. But apart from that, most importantly, what makes an electric dirt bike legal or illegal is the motor power and the maximum speed that it supports. Make sure the bike you are choosing has a maximum speed of 25 km/h. and the power of 250W (also known as electrically assisted pedal cycle” or EAPC or Pedelec). Of course, you can go faster than that if you want, but the motor assistance on your bike must turn off once you reach the speed limit. However, it is very unlikely that you can find a dirt bike with those features. Technically, dirt bikes are designed to support at least 70 km/r and some models can even go as fast as 110 km/h with a motor power that ranges between 4-5k to 10-11k. With these features, obviously, you and your dirt bike will not be allowed in city streets and cross-country trails would be your only option.
Can I ride an electric bike without a licence?
As long as your country and state law does not call your electric. Dirt bike “motorised”, you will definitely not need a licence to ride it. You can still ride it if you are not a driver at all or even if your driving licence has been suspended. As a matter of fact, if you are banned from driving or riding motorbikes for any reason, these bikes are the best alternative for you as they do not need registering, licence or insurance. So briefly, neither licence nor insurance is needed; however, if you do insure your bike, you can make sure that you and your bike are protected. You can ride your electric dirt bike as fast as around 100 km/h provided that you are a professional rider and have full control and balance on your bike. Just keep in mind that depending on your bike model, the motor might stop assisting you at a specific maximum speed. But don’t sweat it; as long as you can pedal, the sky’s the limit. Actually, what makes dirt jumping thrilling is mostly the speed factor, yet it is advised that you try speed riding only off-road or in controlled space where there is no potential risk.
What’s a perfect electric dirt bike like?
A perfect dirt bike should withstand rough, uneven bumpy tracks. If it doesn’t, then there is no point calling it a “dirt bike” and taking it off-road. Bike parts – First off, the bike should be equipped with quality parts that can be reliable on tough terrains.
Battery range matters. The reason is obvious. As a dirt bike rider, you will most probably set out some adventurous ride out of town. In that case, nobody likes the idea of having to recharge the bike battery every 10 km. A perfect off-road bike battery should be able to support at least 80 kilometres before it needs recharging. So, when choosing the perfect dirt bike for yourself, watch for the battery range. For instance, a bike with a battery range of 100km can be the best fit and good enough to enjoy adventure and adrenaline for long hours. Suspension- Picture it. You go to Ride Park off-road race track in Victoria, Australia to enjoy a day of dirt bike riding on the dirt tracks and hills. You start riding on the track before you see packs in front of you to do your first dirt jump. You take off on the lip, feel a moment of excitement in the air and the moment you land… you and your bike both get the biggest shock of the worst dirt jump ever. You might wonder at that moment what went wrong. Actually, it is most probably the suspension settings. Whether you do dirt jumping or simply just ride on a bumpy rocky track, the suspension is the part of your bike that can either make your day or turn everything into a painful experience. So we strongly advise you to make sure of suspension before you buy a dirt bike. There is a lot more to consider when it comes to choosing the perfect electric dirt bike such as high speed of around 75 km/h, strong sturdy wheels and tyres, reliable brakes, type of electric motor assisting you, bike weight ( light enough to allow you to easily throw the bike around on the trails) and any other features that may suit your taste and expectations. So let’s define a perfect electric dirt bike – Though each rider might define the word perfect differently and consider it a matter of taste, there are some features that have got to be found on an electric dirt bike. So, generally, a perfect e dirt bike is the one covering high speed and long battery range, the one with the sturdy powerful wheels and tyres, light enough to be carried and lifted up and down in bumpy trails, a suspension strong enough to support swift jumps and falls and of course affordable price which might be among the most important factors for most buyers. Now, if you are in Australia and you are planning on buying an electric dirt.bike, you might want to know about the most popular and best-selling electric dirt bikes available here. To make it easy, here we have listed the top three for you to compare and decide. But remember that each brand is focusing on specific features. We cannot say which one is the best e dirt bike, So you are the one to decide which of these dirt bikes can make your adventure plans come true. While looking for an electric motocross bike for sale in Australia, use the guide here to make the best decision. Once checking this piece of comparison, you can also find the answers to your questions on how much an electric dirt bike costs, how long it can last before it needs recharging, what is the fastest e dirt bike in Australia and a few more questions. Sur-Ron: This popular brand offers Sur-Ron Light bee X electric dirt bike that is both lighter in weight and more affordable than the other two rival models. Most riders would agree that the dynamic design of Light Bee strikes them as a non-electric dirt bike or motocross that evokes a spark for an off-road adventure ride even more. The short wheelbase design in this bike makes it super easy to ride on off-road tracks like dirt paths and bumpy tracks and the large size disk brake gives a strong braking performance which is a must while riding off the road. One other reason that the bike is popular is despite the lower price, the bike definitely lives up to expectations on performance and quality of an electric motocross. The range that the battery covers in this model is almost the same as Stealth B-52 but a bit longer than Cake Kalk OR which are both assessed below. Stealth: This one is an Australian dirt e bike for sale that is based on creativity and innovation. It offers a range of off-road electric bikes one of which is the Stealth B-52 Bomber. The brand is focused on design and high performance for off-road experience. The Stealth B-52 is relatively costlier and heavier than Sur-Ron Light Bee X whereas it is cheaper and lighter than Cake Kalk OR. But you can see that the speed is also in between. Cake: The famous brand Cake offers the Cake Kalk OR dirt bike model which is quite costlier than the other two rival bikes. Cake Kalk riders would usually agree that the bike feels both bigger and heavier compared to Sur-Ron and Stealth. A perfect choice for those riders who like it weighty and big. It also has a longer wheelbase. The torque and suspension in this bike model are said to be promising. It also has got three riding modes and the brand claims that the electric trail bike makes the most technical trails a cakewalk. The price of this bike is around 13000 which is around twice costlier than the rival bike, the Sur-Ron light bee. So if you are aiming for cheap electric dirt bikes. Cake Kalk is not the one for you.
All three names above have fast charging within around 3 hours and acceptable battery ranges, however, we cannot say that are almost in the same range as you can find both one of the most affordable and one of the costliest electric dirt bikes of Australia in this table. Here is the table featuring these three exotic brands for your off-road adventure:
| Electric dirt bike model | range | weight | speed | recharge |
| Sur-Ron Light Bee X (sold by DiroDi in Australia) | 100 km | 50 kg | 75 km/h | 3 hours |
| Stealth B-52 | 100 km | 64 kg | 80 km/h | 3 hours |
| Cake Kalk OR | 85 km | 68 kg | 90 km/h | 2.5 hours |
This was a comparison of the electric dirt bikes from three of the popular names and all three are designed to be ridden in cross-country conditions such as dirt trails, motocross tracks and even more open areas like deserts. Among these three, Stealth and Sur-Ron have the longest range. Though they are not street-legal, the good part is you do not need a licence to ride them off-road. So, using the information above, you can stay up-to-date on the best e-bike products available in Australia. But at the end of the day, it has got to be you to decide which electric dirt bicycle is the best for you.
Can I get on Motocross tracks with my electric dirt bike?
You must be thinking: I am an electric bike rider, I should not have to be around all the noise and pollution. That’s fair. It would be great to ride on an all-electric motocross track but until one is made, you can use the trails which are normally shared by both electric and non-electric dirt bike riders. In fact, there are some awesome motocross trails in Australia where you can freely enjoy your dirt ride. There are amazing man-made tracks in Australia all built perfectly in natural terrain. The tracks hold all kinds of obstacles in them and they are designed in such a way to feel handy even at the highest speed. Below, you can see five of the most popular dirt-bike riding trails each in a different state of Australia. Once trying these trails, you will see that jumps, landings, turns and all kinds of tricks feel like such a thrill that can turn any starter into a professional electric motocross rider. Here are the top five dirt-bike riding trails in Australia:
- Ride Park, Victoria
This is a great place popping up in front of you in the middle of nowhere which is set up with great facilities and various tracks that suit any level of riding from Pre Wee to Full Advanced. Most riders are happy with the staff there and they find it affordable too.
This one is one of the most popular as it is located in Wollemi National Park and the closest to Sydney. Riders have mostly found the place well-managed and even in rainy weather conditions, you can find the tracks well-maintained and rideable. The variety of tracks makes the trail a good choice for riders of all ages. Still, if you are excited to do jumps on some serious steep hills, this is the place for you.
Located in Begley Road, WA, West Moto Park is the place where you can find all kinds of jumps from small to medium and the staff who are ready to help you wherever needed. As a starter, you can easily get on open wide tracks where you will not have to worry about hitting trees or any obstacles. Variety of tracks that curve around the farms and through bushes makes West Moto the perfect place for riders who want to experience it all and end the day riding like a pro.
The place is right in the depth of Palms Road in Queensland. The trail has a very safe design but that does not make it any less suitable for professional riders. There are absolutely some great tabletops to keep advanced riders motivated. Among motocross trails in Australia, this one is one of the well-designed places that you shouldn’t miss.
For those adrenaline seekers in South Australia, Acusa Park is the place in Snake Gully Rd. Riders visiting the place once usually go back again and again as the trail feels safe and adventurous at the same time. This is one of the very few places in South Australia where you are allowed to enjoy your dirt-bike riding freely.
Is an electric dirt bike worth buying?
If you ask an experienced dirt bike rider what they like about their electric ride, they would each give you different answers. But one thing which is guaranteed is that buying an electric dirt bike can definitely be a big win for you (provided that you choose the one ride that fits your taste the best).
Electric dirt bikes come with many obvious upsides that each can be considered a determining factor. Read on to see what advantages these electric rides have over their non-electric counterparts:
Physical health – Unlike what the name power-assisted bike may suggest to you, with an electric bike, you can get just as sportive as when you are on a normal road bike. Not only you can get equally active but there is even an advantage in that. You will not feel as tired and worn out as you usually feel on a non-electric bike. So, the upside is that you can burn as many calories without feeling deadbeat!
Now, there is a reason for that. The thing is while riding on an electric bike, you can slow down on pedalling and get more assistance from the motor whenever you want to rest your legs and you can get back to pedalling once you feel refreshed. That way, you can continue cycling for hours without burning out.
Noise – This one is an advantage of electric bikes over motorbikes. Especially those who want to ride electric bikes in cities and not off-road, can be very sure that the noise is almost nothing compared to motorbikes and of course, neighbours will be much happier about that!
One thing that makes electric bikes popular with most people is that they are easier to ride. It’s same exercise with less effort. Some of us might have always found it difficult to get out in nature on a normal non-electric bike while we are still interested in doing so. Electric bikes definitely make it possible for us to experience adventure and enjoy nature even more.
There are a lot more compelling reasons why an electric bike can be perfect for your daily life around the city and off-road. They are environmentally clean and there is no emission, so you can go around without feeling bad about polluting the air.
These bikes are absolutely not allowed. Not because they are dirt bikes, but no electric bike is allowed on sidewalks unless you are sure it is a shared path for pedestrians and bikes and that is very unlikely anyway. Especially riding a dirt bike on the sidewalk can even double the risk of accidents, damage or injury as they are relatively more powerful and heavier bikes than other electric bike models. So be safe and stay away from walking people!
Can I add an electric start to my dirt bike?
It is totally doable to install an electric starter on your dirt bike. Actually, it is popular to do so among dirt bike riders. One good reason is that you won’t have to deal with the stalling problem in your bike in difficult messy conditions of a dirt track. Obviously, it would be way handier and faster for you to skip the kick-start and get your bike back on track by using a switch only.
Electric dirt bike for children
If you are going to supervise your child riding his/her dirt bike out on trails, nobody can stop you from doing so. Just make sure you choose the perfect bike size for them to be comfortable and have full control.
But the thing is, even if your child is fully capable of riding and controlling an electric dirt bike, they won’t be allowed in city streets. Not just because it is a dirt bike, but also because riders should be at least 16 years old to be allowed to ride in cities in every state of Australia whether it is a dirt bike or vintage or any other electric bike model.
Riding an electric dirt bike in rain
You must consider it an advantage in non-electric bikes that they can run in wet conditions. Well, that is NOT true. You can absolutely ride an electric dirt bike in rain. The only thing is that it is not water-proof. But about water-resistance, we can assure you that your bike will definitely keep you company in rain, mud or even snow.
Always remember that your bike must not be submerged in water or any other liquid and try to dry your bike especially the electric components after the ride. That way you will let your bike live longer and prevent rust or any other damage. But overall, it can be said that dirt bikes might need more regular maintenance than other electric bike models as they are usually ridden in messy roads and tracks. At some point, you might stop worrying about the dirt and mud on your bike wheels and chain. That is OK. But try not to leave your bike unclean for too long and give your bike a nice clean up once in a while to let it live longer without trouble.
Electric Dirt Bike, clean adventure!
Finally, remember that you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy the thrill and excitement of electric dirt bikes. All you need is a desire to have fun! You can purchase an affordable electric trail bike in Australia, even a 1000w electric dirt bike can be found and you won’t run into problems with law enforcement as long as you operate your machine responsibly. In fact, Australia has plenty of places for you to enjoy your new toy, some of which were mentioned in this article. Just make sure that you practise safety and wear a full set of protective gear, the same way that you would on a gas moped or motorcycle.
GASGAS goes e-powered – new MC-E 3 mini bike for kids
GASGAS has announced an all-new MC-E 3 mini electric dirt bike for younger kids to make their first off-road steps at an even younger age.
Making sure you’ve got something for the kids is important in this world. Forget about them and life can be hell! If you’re a manufacturer of motorcycles, perceived wisdom says if you get them on two wheels sooner the more likely there are to get hooked into “the brand” and stick for life.
Hence the newest and now smallest powered two-wheeler in the GASGAS off-road range, the MC-E 3 which joins the larger MC-E 5 electric bike plus 50cc, 65cc and 80cc gas-powered dirt bikes in the line-up.
In short it’s a virtually maintenance-free, battery-powered plug and play dirt bike with multiple ride modes, 10” wheel size and 23.6 in (600 mm) adjustable to 21.8 in (555 mm) “real motorcycle” for the next wave of mini Taddys and Veronas.
Video highlights of the MC-E 3
In reality this is the GASGAS version of the KTM and Husqvarna models built and produced to the same specification. Whichever colour you prefer, it produces next to no noise, no carbon emissions, and claims a running time of up to two hours for the dead-easy fun factor of just getting on it and riding.
The 3.8kW motor is compact and fitted low in the frame to create a lightweight feel, which means riders can keep spinning laps without getting too tired.
The hassle-free motor is maintenance free, resistant to dust and water, and features six different ride modes to easily alter the power delivery to suit the ability of any rider.
With no clutch or gearbox, the MC-E 3 is that genuine first set of wheels if you want to start ‘em young.
The MC-E 3 is fitted with unique graphics highlighted by a splash of blue to signify its electric power unit. The graphics are applied beneath the surface of the plastics to prevent peeling or scratches, the graphics will stand the test of time they say.
The MC-E 3 also comes with a red powder-coated frame, WP suspension, Neken bars, 10” wheels, and Maxxis tyres.
The new bike is available now at GASGAS dealers. Availability may differ from country to country.
