INTRODUCTION

 

A WORD ABOUT THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY

 

Firstly, thank you for purchasing an OSET Electric Trials Bike. This is a serious piece of 

 

machinery designed for use by children in fully controlled and safe environments. 

 

As the purchaser/owner of the machine, YOU are the responsible adult with the 

 

task of keeping the rider(s) safe at all times. If you defer this task to another adult, 

 

it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to pass this owners manual and all relevant information 

 

to whoever will take on this role, and ensure without question that the rider is 

 

controlled and taught in a safe manner.

 

 

Your OSET is very adjustable and can be specifically set up for the rider. Please 

 

do not allow the machine to be used or adjusted by other children or adults. There are 

 

likely to be many children asking for a ride. DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. It is likely

 

 you know the abilities, levels of concentration and attention span of the child you 

 

purchased the machine for. EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT and it is impossible for you to 

 

properly supervise other children. 

 

 

Your OSET is driven by a powerful electric motor. The control dials MUST be adjusted to 

 

suit the abilities of the rider. Please remember that even when the speed is set to 

 

a slow setting, if the power and response are at high setting, the full torque of the 

 

bike will still be available. This means that opening the throttle will propel the machine

 

 to the set speed very quickly. Your OSET has great capabilities, and can grow with the 

 

skills of the rider to very high levels, but it is IMPERITIVE that the responsible adult controls

 

 the entire learning process and gives full attention at all times.  

 

                   

 

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FORESEE ALL POTENTIAL SITUATIONS AND 

 

CONTROL THE RIDING ENVIRONMENT ACCORDINGLY.

 

 

This means not just the machine and the rider, but also the riding terrain and environment.

 

 

Our machines are virtually silent, and can be used in many places that gasoline bikes can’t. 

 

They are brilliant for practicing in back yards; front yards, garages, and even indoors! 

 

OSET Mini Bikes are designed for 

off road use only

 and must not be used on public roads

 

 or sidewalks. 

Please check and obey all local laws.

 OSETs may only be ridden in safe areas

 

 where all laws are being followed and all required permissions are given.

 

 

OSET’s are amazingly capable, and can be used from the earliest stages of 

 

Learning to ride all the way through to off road competitions. 

 

The secret of learning to ride well is being able to ride a lot. OSET’s enable this to happen,

 

 and can make the learning process very gratifying for both the children and the adults. 

 

Thanks again for purchasing an OSET, and we hope you, and your child, will enjoy the ride!

 

 

Ian Smith, President, OSET CORP.
