SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES

Always follow the Pre

Ride Checklist before every ride.

Do not operate your OSET if any damage is apparent.
Immediately contact your local retailer/distributor or OSET Customer Service.



Supervision:

Riders must be supervised by responsible adults at all times. The rider

should never be beyond eye and voice range. An adult must

ALWAYS

assess and

approve the riding conditions and the bike preparedness before the bike is ridden.
Always ensure the rider is cautious, maintaining complete control and a reasonable
speed. Ensure the terrain is suited to the skills of the rider.



Helmets & Safety Attire:

There is no single factor that works better at reducing the

severity of injuries sustained in accidents more than a quality helmet. Please don’t
ever allow your OSET to be ridden without one. Riders should also wear suitable
riding gear

gloves, eye protection and boots. Boots should

NOT HAVE LACES

. Shoe

laces and loose clothing or even long hair could potentially get caught in wheels,
chains or sprockets.



One Rider Only:

Your bike was engineered to carry one rider and

(0) passengers.

Carrying a passenger would overload the machine and alter the handling. Do not
allow this to happen.



Do not overload the bike:

OSET’s are designed for small, lightweight riders.

Exceeding the weight limitations will adversely affect the handling of the machine,
and potentially cause damage.



It’s the law; obey it:

Obey all laws. OSET bikes are for

OFF

ROAD USE ONLY

. OSET

bikes can not be used on public roads or sidewalks. The purchaser, owner, and/or
riders of this machine are directly responsible to know and obey all local, state, and
federal laws regarding the riding and use of this machine.



Night time:

Don’t ride after dark or in low light conditions.



Weather & Riding Conditions:

Bike brakes don’t work well when they’re wet. Don’t

ride in the rain or snow. Please be aware that distance to stop may double or triple
over the distance that it takes under dry conditions. Ride more slowly and anticipate
your stops by applying the brakes

MUCH

earlier. Don’t allow children to ride on

slopes that are too steep for their ability.



Maintenance:

It worked fine when we put it in the box: please maintain your bike.

There are instructions here in this manual. We haven’t figured out how to make a
bike that takes care of itself.

Check the brakes and the tires and the tightness of all those important fasteners

before

each and every ride. Pretend that you’re a pilot doing a walk

around of his

airplane before taking

off. The pilot knows that his life depends on the airworthiness

of his airplane;

the rider’s life depends on the preparedness of their bike.

Please have your bike checked by a qualified mechanic

AT LEAST

once a year.

It’s a small investment in the well

being of the rider.



Batteries:

We have equipped your OSET electric bike with sealed lead

acid

batteries. We have devoted an entire chapter of this manual to the batteries.
Please read and understand this important information. As always, if you have any
questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.



Read this manual cover to cover:

There is a lot of important information that you

need to know. Do not guess how to adjust the machine, charge it or ride it. We have
recommendations that will instruct how to set–up, maintain, and ride your OSET.
Please read them thoroughly.



Call us with questions or problems:

We can be reached at the numbers listed on

the back cover of this manual. You can also get assistance from the OSET dealers.

SUPERVISION.

A responsible adult must supervise at all times.

WEAR A HELMET & SAFETY GEAR.

The rider must wear a helmet & appropriate

safety gear EVERY TIME.

NO PASSENGERS.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMITATIONS OF THE MACHINE.

OBEY ALL LAWS
