MC-E 1.18 2023

The next choice for young shredders progressing in performance, the MC-E 1.18 gets even closer to full-on dirt bike status! Capable of hitting a super-cool top speed of 18 mph when spinning up the 18-inch knobby tires, this new balance bike really raises the bar with its BMX-style fork and hydraulic disc brakes. Best suited to kids between the ages of 8 and 10, once they have their technique and riding skills dialed, they'll then be ready for an MC-E 5, MC 50, or MC 65!

RIDE MODES

With three ride modes available, the MC-E 1.18 is certainly a great balance bike to learn on. For new riders, the training mode is limited to a top speed of 9 mph while the standard mode is limited to 13.5 mph. And for those a little more fearless, there's the advanced mode, which allows for speeds of up to 18 mph!

REAL THROTTLE ACTION

Are your kids ready to twist it? Maybe not if they're just starting off, but once they've mastered pushing off and coasting, a real action throttle allows them to control power with their right hand as they begin whizzing around the backyard or local learner park. It's a fundamental skill to learn and it's for this very reason that every GASGAS balance bike features real action throttle.

NON-STOP RIDING

We made it super-simple for the lithium-ion battery to be removed and recharged. But, with spare batteries on hand that are super easy to fit, non-stop fun is guaranteed! Each battery runs for around 30 to 45 minutes and takes less than two hours to be fully recharged.

GRAPHICS

This awesome balance bike is very red and very vibrant. Of course it is, it's a GASGAS! Looking just like a small-scale GASGAS Factory Racing bike with a few of the team's sponsor logos added, the MC-E 1.18 sure does look the business!

MADE FOR RIDING

BRAKE

At full speed in the advanced ride mode, the MC-E 1.18 absolutely rips! And this is precisely why you'll find hydraulic disc brakes front and rear so that fearless kids can slow things down in a hurry. For a little extra safety, the rear disc is completely covered.

LOW WEIGHT

With the battery placed low down on the frame, the MC-E 1.18 feels super-light to ride and tips the scales at just 31 lb. This ensures kids can ride freely and stay focused on developing their skills. Parents and guardians also benefit from the small size and low weight as it means the MC-E 1.18 can easily be put into the back of a car for secure transportation.

STRONG CHASSIS

Super-strong and super-low in weight! The aluminum frame is tig-welded and ergonomically designed to put the bars, seat, and footrests in comfortable positions for day-long comfort. The BMX-style fork also delivers serious capability.

LOW SEAT HEIGHT

Do you know what's great for a child's confidence? The ability to put their feet down while riding a bike, that's what! That's why, with a low seat height of 21 inches, the MC-E 1.18 ensures 8-10-year-old's with an inside leg of 22 to 23 inches can easily reach the ground. For those just starting out, this is even more important as being able to take a steadying dab is a vital part of learning to balance and to keep moving forwards. The seat height is adjustable as well so as riders grow it can easily be raised.

TAPERED FOOTRESTS

Stood up or sat down, the tapered footrests make riding incredibly easy. What's more, by using proper footrests, the MC-E 1.18 has the same layout as a full-sized dirt bike, so youngsters get a feel for the future from a really young age.
