Gas Gas

A few of us were talking the other day and thought wouldn’t it be ironic if Gas Gas produced a electric bike.

They just got bought up by KTM, so it might be a possibility....

Indeed. Believe Gas Gas' relationship with Torrot was of some interest to KTM - Gas Gas already had eBike for kids and electric trials bike built on the Torrot platform.

Just found this.

We were talking about the name Gas Gas and a bike not using gas. How that would be ironic.

The big Gas Gas bikes will likely become KTMs with a red frame and white plastic.

And the legacy gas gas manufacturing design and facility were sold to a Spanish scooter mfg. At the moment the name escapes me, when or if I recall, I'll update.

Rieju is the company that acquired the manufacturing facility/equipment. Looks like it will continue the current Gasgas models for 2021, just like SWM did with Husky when KTM purchased them.

Thanks, saved me the anguish of looking it up myself.

Dennis had a real Electric Motion trials bike at Metcalf last week. It has a clutch too. It was pretty sweet. I had one for a month a couple years ago. It too was sweet.
Metcalf is closed now due to the BeerFlu.
