guys Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 There's no clutch or gear box on the blue one by the look of it So it looks like the blue one is an electric Contact with a different electric motor to the one based on the Pro Racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Surely they'll never sell a blue-framed bike to a GasGas fan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulmie Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Surely they'll never sell a blue-framed bike to a GasGas fan? The old 280's were blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I'd be less concerned about the color and more confused about the different branding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarty156 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 At one point you had a choice of red or blue. A GasGas should be predominantly red though IMHO. Looks a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_t Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I had a yellow GG and they had silver and white... lots of colour options. Torrot already had electric bikes before buying GG. I believe the Torrot bike is a real bike and somewhat similar to the EM bikes that you can already buy here in North America. The GG bike seems like more of a mock up of what people would like to see in an electric trials bike with a real clutch. the EM clutch is more of an off switch which I feel is better than nothing. I was a little involved with a local university project building an electric trials bike and it had no clutch and you really do miss it.

smarty156 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I well remember blue plastics but never a blue frame. I didn't say frame but I meant plastics. They were the chrome/silver frames at that point. Edited November 11, 2016 by smarty156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybond700 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I didn't say frame but I meant plastics. They were the chrome/silver frames at that point. Colours used to be based on engine sizes, but that got shifted at some point. First pro's kind of did still have the collours. 200 and smaller where yellow 250 and 280 where blue, 300 have been grey, red etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarty156 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Think I had a 320 once that was blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Yeah the scheme changed a little trough the years i quess from the txt the 250 270 were red (now pink, lol). the editions and first pro's 250/280 were blue. I think on the enduro's they also used this colors for a while. Edited December 14, 2016 by crazybond700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I wonder if, when they release a finished product, there will be a conversion kit available for existing Gasgas' ... that would be a boon All that they need now is a sound system that plays out 2 stroke or 4stroke tunes and it may have a greater appeal. I mostly want electric so it's quiet enough to ride in places where I can't currently get away with it on account of noise ... some kind of motor speed indicator will be needed if it's going to have a clutch and gears though, otherwise you would easily get in a real mess! The air box should be filled with batteries. Make the old carb connection a plug and be done with it. A gasgas air box could go on and off in minutes.--Biff An excellent point, though I wonder if that would throw the front to rear weight ballance off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Some trials bikes have the fuel tank under the seat so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still trying Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hey Gas Gas; Why isn't the battery mounted across the top of the gearbox/motor, with the controller up out of possible wet stuff range. Besides which is heavier? A low C of G is kind a good to have. And while they are at it, make the battery easily removable / swappable, so one can be on charge while using the other. Be the first and get ahead of the crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
