The EC is the "world model", and is fully street legal in 52 countries around the world. It has a 80 watt output ignition for lighting, etc, which has a larger diameter (heavier) flywheel and also a complete wiring harness.
The EC comes from the factory with brake light switches, odometer/instrument cluster, horn, headlight, taillight, handlebar switch cluster, and turn signals.

The DE has a more simple wiring harness (it will still accomodate/power a headlight and taillight) and a smaller diameter flywheel with a 35 watt lighting power output. It has a kill switch.

Usually, the DE comes from the importer with a front number plate, instead of a headlight.

I run a 10 oz flywheel weight on my 2006 DE300.



I hope this helped.

Happy Trails!

Thanks for the help Jim.

Sir, you will need to call that number for any info you want on the bike. I am not the owner. The owner is a friend of mine who is not into using computers. But I am sure that if you called the number listed above, he can arrange for some pics to be sent to you.

Bandit9 - Thanks
Jim, Is there a large torque difference because of the fly wheel weight? or is not that noticable? I am looking to do hare scrambles, and would prefer more of a lugger rather than a revver. Thanks.

The flywheel weight only changes the flywheel effect to smooth power delivery as the bike comes "on the pipe". It doesn't affect power, just power delivery. The GasGas 250cc engine will definitely lug. That is one of the great things about the GasGas engines. They were designed for cross country adn enduro, not MX.

The GasGas flywheel weights will install/uninstall in less than five minutes, if one has an impact wrench. (I prefer an air impact wrench.)
The flywheel weight is designed to replace the flywheel nut. (The flywheel weight has a nut milled into it's surface face, so all one has to do is to remove the ignition cover and then spin the flywheel weight off with the impact wrench. Then spin the flywheel nut on with the impact wrench.)
To install, just reverse the procedure. Paul Cantrell should still have the flywheel nut. If not, and one is desired, they are inexpensive, and easy to get.

I run the 10 oz flywheel weight on my 2006 DE300, as it is a bit "goosier" than the 250, down low in the rpms. I didn't run the flywheel weight on the 250 when I first set it up.

I hope this cleared up things up just a bit for you.

One more thing...The 2005 and later GasGas bikes really cut the tight trails easier than the 2002 through 2004. They do this without gaining headshake.

Happy Trails!
