GASGAS has always been pumped about its awesome MC-E 5. And for 2025, the popular electric dirt bike is now water-cooled, better than ever, and built around a brand-new frame! Already the best-performing and coolest-looking bike in its category, the MC-E 5 now features all-new bodywork, a new shock position, and special graphics to indicate its battery-powered motor. Trust us, kids are gonna love it!

Introducing water cooling on the MC-E 5 is a real game changer. Not only does it keep the 5kW electric motor at a perfect temperature for consistent power, but it’s also extended the running time by 30%! One thing that does stay the same though is the fast recharging of the battery. It takes around 45 minutes for an 80% recharge, and even better, it’s super 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 racetracks.

If you didn’t already know, the MC-E 5 is a fully fledged motocross bike. And it’s for this very reason that we’ve fitted the same style bodywork that you’ll find on our full size models, just scaled down accordingly to create perfect, kid-friendly ergonomics. The 2025 MC-E 5 is a lot easier to have fun on as the riding experience is a considerable improvement over the outgoing model. The new graphics, featuring a splash of blue to highlight 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 almost 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. Built with plenty of safety features and high-quality parts, the MC-E 5 looks as great as it performs, thanks to its black handlebars and rims.
