GasGas never did an official press release stating that they'd be releasing electric start models. There have been rumours running around since last summer that there may be electric start gassers, but that's about it. It sucks that you put in a deposit.
Why not just get a 2010 EC? The bikes are proven as great enduro bikes and the new ones have improved fit and finish. These bikes start so easy that the lack of electric start really isn't much of an issue. If you're really worried, get a rekluse clutch and never stall again. |

It was announced that there was a suit filed by another manufacturer about GG's electric starter. it resembled thiers to closely and they had to stop production and start over.. announcement was out a month ago or so. they were ready to ship some of the bikes from what I undertand..

That's a bummer gg3 as I also like the e-start 2 stroke (if it works ok)
I assume that mfg. was KTM??? While we can thank them for bringing this idea to a racing 2 stroke (and suffering the teething pains) their design has had some serious flaws and has been quite troublesome for many people. If that was what GG was looking at I really hope they VERY carefuly studied the KTM's design and fixed the flaws. I guess a moot point now since they apparantly had to go back to the drawing board on this. It's interesting that we have never even seen a leaked picture of this e-start motor but the other mfg. caught wind of the design and shut it down. And you know gg3 when you finally have that new 2010 Cross Country model paid for and in your hands GG will announce the e-start for 2011

Maybe just go find a cheap older bike and ride that till they can deliver ur e-start then just sell it.

Sounds like it could be a blessing if there have been design problems.

I was thinking of holding back till the e-start models hit the shore too.
I was told that even if the new ones came with an e-start that it would also fit the older models back to 08 I think I heard. And would be available as a retro kit. Anyway my 2010 EC300 start first, second kick every time. I'm not sure I will even buy the kit when available.
