Why buy the EE 5 from Empire

A genuine kids’ race bike — WP suspension, adjustable power and mini-MX geometry, quiet and low-maintenance.

  • ✓
    A real motocross bike, scaled down. Full WP AER 35 front suspension and XACT rear, proper mini-MX geometry and Brembo-style braking — built to be raced, not just ridden around the yard.
  • ✓
    Grows with the rider. Six selectable power modes and adjustable ride height let it start gentle and scale up as your young racer’s skills grow.
  • ✓
    Quiet, clean, low-maintenance. Electric means no noise or fumes and minimal upkeep — charge and race, with Empire here for setup and support.
  • ●
    Straight talk. The EE 5 shares its platform with the KTM SX-E 5 and GasGas MC-E 5 — effectively the same bike; the GasGas is the value version for a few hundred less, the KTM the best-known. The Stacyc 20eDrive costs far less but is a lighter-duty play/trail bike, not a race machine. You pay for Husqvarna’s premium trim and the full WP/race package.
For the next generation of Northwest racers. Quiet enough to practice at home and race-ready for the local track, the EE 5 is a proper first competition bike — with Empire here to help you set it up and keep it running.

And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.
