THE ULTIMATE MID-SIZE BALANCE BIKE
For youngsters aged five to eight years old, there may not be a better balance bike than the MC-E 1.16! Lightweight and with a run time of around one hour, it's the perfect bike for learning on. Built around a strong aluminum frame and with a BMX-style steel front fork, it's certainly more than capable of handling anything that even the most courageous kids can throw at it. With three pre-set power modes, the top speed can be restricted depending on the rider's ability. So those new to two wheels, can start with the training mode setting before unlocking more speed as they progress with their skills and start to GET ON THE GAS!
START THEM YOUNG
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 track. Throttle control is a fundamental skill to learn and it's for this very reason that every GASGAS balance bike has a real action throttle.
NON-STOP RIDING
The removable lithium-ion battery has a user-friendly power-tool style interface for quick and easy changes. Fully charged spare batteries extend riding time if and when required with the MC-E 1.16 offering up to one hour of riding time. Quick charging means a completely flat battery can be recharged in one hour.
RIDE MODES
The MC-E 1.16 features three ride modes. For new riders, the training mode has a top speed of 5 mph with the transitional mode slightly higher at 7.5 mph. For more competent riders and those who have safely developed their skills using the first two settings, the advance mode allows for speeds up to 13 mph
MADE FOR RIDING
LIGHTWEIGHT
At just 20 lbs. including the battery, the MC-E 1.16 is lightweight with most of the weight positioned low on the frame. This means it is easy to handle, boosting children's confidence as they develop their riding skills. In addition, it allows them to pick up their balance bike should they need to. Additionally, the MC-E 1.16 can easily be lifted into the back of the car and transported to a safe riding location, if needed.
LOW SEAT HEIGHT
With an ultra-low seat height of 17", young riders can confidently touch the ground when starting and stopping. This also allows children to easily dab with a foot while riding to maintain their balance and forward momentum, should they need to. The MC-E 1.16 is perfectly suited for 5-8 year old children weighing up to 75 lbs. with an inside leg length of at least 17". As riders grow in size, the seat height can be adjusted easily.
BRAKE
With just a rear brake, learning to slow down safely is easy with the MC-E 1.16. The lever is placed on the left side of the handlebar and is always within easy reach.
FRAME
Manufactured form strong aluminum and tig-welded to ensure a durable construction, the frame provides modern ergonomics with the placement of seat, footrests, and handlebars all within easy reach. This design encourages correct body and foot positioning to ensure children develop a perfect riding technique from a very young age. The BMX style fork is made from steel to be capable of handling offroad terrain.
