My son keeps asking?
I recently bought an 2018 ec 300 and my son is wondering when his new bike is coming? Does anyone know if gasgas plans on making an 85 or 125 in the near future?

Good question. I doubt we'll see anything at EICMA this year. But maybe for 2020?

I think you'll see a full blown off road E bike, before you see a 125.

I'd bet you're correct on this. And/or a full size 4T bike.

Well, Harley dropped their collaboration with ALTA.
Seems the purists couldn't get used to the buzz..buzz sound vs the potato potato sound. |

Well, I had several times the chance to ride the ktm electric Freeride and I loved it.
I can’t wait to see the ALTA BIkes here in Germany. I definitely want one. It is so much fun, gust to ride the bike, without thinking about stalling the engine. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

My sons have been riding since they were 3.5 and 4yrs old. There is a HUGE difference between a 85 and 125. What does he ride now and how tall is he? For him to be safe and so both of you have fun I would find him something that fits his size and riding capabilty.
85cc MX bikes are light, offer terrific suspension and brakes, but the engines are much less forgiving for trail riding. 125cc MX bikes are similar but are as tall as a full size bike and typically weigh 200 to 220 lbs after. GG made a EC 125 that has nicer manners with some low end and midrange but they are a little hard to find. A really good option for an in between bike is the KX100. Yes it took me a while to get over the color but it was the only real option in that size for a light weight bike with good suspension and brakes. The KX100 engine is based upon the KX85 engine and it shares much of the port sizes so it is less peaky with the extra 15ccs. It has decent low end and good midrange. The KX100s make great transition bikes from smaller 4 stroke bikes toward big bikes. They are also more fun for fathers to ride than 85cc bikes ;-) |

Depending on how old he is. I would think a 200cc Ranger would be awesome.
