Motorcycles, the core of what Turple Bros is all about, motorcycles and motorcycle accessories. From the start with old Harley surplus motorcycles, to the many brands they went through, Motorcycles has always been at the center of passion for the shop. Today we can proudly claim that we are North Americas oldest Honda dealer (since 1959) with great pride. We have had Suzuki Motorcycles for sale since 1988, We had the Can-Am motorcycles back in their hay day, and looks like we will have them again! In 2004 we picked up KTM and all the orange they had to offer, then in late 2019 we were offered Gasgas Motorcycles and are happy to have them. We have a showroom full of motorcycles for sale, and the passionate staff to back it up. |
There's a new GASGAS dirt bike in town - the MC-E 2! All new, and all red, it's been designed for thrill-seeking youngsters (35-51 inches tall) that want to get to grips with offroad riding. It's battery-powered, inexpensive to run, with a full charge lasting well over an hour. It also has a ridiculously quick recharging time, which means the MC-E 2 offers day long fun for all riders. Knowing that all kids will have an absolute blast tearing around the backyard on this little bike, we've fitted the MC-E 2 with three power modes and multiple options to adjust the ergonomics, so controlled progression is guaranteed. For eager kids, dirt bike riding starts right here. |
ELECTRIC MOTORKeeping things simple, the MC-E 2 motor is housed inside the rear wheel's hub! This clever design removes the need for a chain and sprockets, which means this bike only requires minimal maintenance. The motor is also close to silent, incredibly durable, and offers only one drive setting so that youngsters can learn how to ride with no distractions. |
BATTERYKids can ride the MC-E 2 for up to 100 minutes before the battery needs recharging, which is a long time for most youngsters! However, because the BLi300 battery that powers this bike has the same connectors as most modern power tools, with a few spares charged up and ready to use, it's easy to keep riding all day long - especially if the bike is being shared among siblings! |
CHARGERWhat's not to like about an 80% recharge within 35 minutes? Alternatively, as the battery design is the same as what's used in most modern power tools, it's possible to replace the battery in a matter of seconds. This feature is particularly handy when multiple kids want to ride the MC-E 2 as it means that no one misses out on the fun! |
MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAYThe Multi-Function Display lets you know at a glance how everything is running on the MC-E 2. Conveniently positioned in front of the seat, not only does it clearly show the battery level, it also lights up an LED to indicate which power mode is engaged. It's easy to toggle through each of the three modes, which are - blue for walking speed, white for medium power, and green for an eye-watering top speed of 20.5 mph (33 km/h)! |
SAFETYNervous parents can relax as our engineers know a thing or two about safety features on two wheels. Firstly, there's a lanyard that fits around the rider's wrist so if their hand is removed from the handlebars the motor immediately switches off. Secondly, a rollover sensor disengages power to the rear wheel whenever the MC-E 2 isn't rubber side down. |
BRAKESWith a top speed of 20.5 mph (33 km/h), fitting hydraulic brakes with 140mm discs to the MC-E 2 was essential! Capable of slowing things down in a real hurry, the brakes offer a consistent action and are controlled by levers on the bars that can be easily adjusted to suit riders of all ages. |
WHEELSThere’s a lot to like when it comes to the 10" wheels on the MC-E 2. They’re maintenance free, made from lightweight aluminum, and finished with a black powder coating for a distinctive look. They’re then wrapped with offroad KENDA tires for outstanding grip. They won’t tear up the lawn too much… we promise! |
SEAT HEIGHTWe get it, kids grow! Sometimes too fast... and it was for this very reason that we've designed the MC-E 2 to be adjustable in height. It's easy to do, too. Firstly, drop the forks downwardsthrough the clamps to raise the front end, and then the rear shock can be fitted into a higher position to lift the back end up. And for kids with longer legs, it's also possible to fit the footpegs lower on the frame. |
HANDLEBARS & GRIPSDesigned with kids in mind, the handlebars are both light and strong. They have a modern bend, aren't too wide, and there's a reduced diameter at the ends where the slimmer profile ODI lock-on grips are fitted. All these features combine to allow youngsters to ride with a confidence inspiring grip and in complete control of the MC-E 2. |
ELECTRIC SILENCEKeeping things simple, the MC-E 2 motor is housed inside the rear wheel's hub! This clever design removes the need for a chain and sprockets, which means this bike only requires minimal maintenance. The motor is also close to silent, incredibly durable, and offers only one drive setting so that youngsters can learn how to ride with no distractions. |
BODYWORKAll red from front to back, because after all the MC-E 2 is a GASGAS dirt bike! The bold graphics are applied using an in-mold process, which means they can't peel off or fade while a red seat completes the distinctive look. |
FRAMELow in weight so that the MC-E 2 is a blast to ride for hours and hours, the aluminum frame is both strong and durable. Just like the reinforced fiberglass subframe! |
WP SUSPENSIONJust like our bigger dirt bikes, the MC-E 2 features WP suspension. Up front, the hydraulic forks offers 90mm of travel with the shock providing 70mm of travel, as well as pre-load adjustment. With its capable suspension soaking up bumps and jumps with ease, the MC-E 2 allows youngsters to discover and enjoy riding offroad. Which, as we all know, is awesome! |
CHASSISIt's built to last! Our engineers know that some kids will ride all day long, which is why they designed the chassis to be strong while keeping overall weight as low as possible. High quality forged aluminum is used for many components including the top triple clamp, handlebar mounts, footpeg hangers, and all the braking parts. And just like the bigger GASGAS dirt bikes, the swingarm is made from die-cast aluminum for reduced rigidity. |
