FUN BIKES: GasGas MOTO 1 | WORDS & PHOTOS: KRIS KEEFER
The GasGas MOTO 1 comes in hot with its unique looks and fun vibes. Whether you are cruising the streets, on a daily commute to work, or hanging out by the beach, park, or even the moto track, the MOTO 1 does it with that “Fun Bikes” look thanks to its steel frame, 20” fat tires, and long bench seat. The MOTO 1 has a Bafang H550 rear hub motor paired to a smaller 504Wh battery hidden under the seat. With 60Nm of torque the Bafang H550 motor keeps things fun around town (around 20mph). I used this unique e-cruiser to visit the wife at work, ride to signup at the track, and even got out of the high desert and went to the beach. You can use this virtual display right on your phone to customize settings, update software, and control the interface so it’s actually pretty interactive for just a “Fun Bike.”
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
