NOTE!
As the responsible adult, you must ensure that the OSET and its rider are ready
to ride, every time. The bike must be set to the abilities of the rider, and you must
ALWAYS supervise when, where and how the bike is ridden. Children can lose
concentration quickly, and be distracted easily. If the speed or throttle response
is set too high then loss of control could result.
BE SAFE!
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS & SAFETY TIPS (BEGINNERS AND LEARNERS):
With the bike set up correctly, your OSET is ready to ride! For learning riders,
please use these tips and instructions. The riders will get the most enjoyment if
they feel safe and in control. Do not be tempted to start the riders too quickly.
Make sure the speed and response are set to their slowest settings to begin.
WARNING!
Do not exceed the abilities of the rider! Only allow competent riders with full
instruction to ride the bike. Do not allow inexperienced riders on the bike before
they have demonstrated a complete knowledge of the controls. Always start on
the slowest settings.
1. STATIONARY LEARNING:
1. Ensure the key switch is in the off position.
2. Lift the machine on to a stand or block so the back wheel is an inch or
two off the ground.
3. Sit the rider on the machine.
4. Explain all the controls:
a. Throttle
b. Front Brake (right hand side).
c.
Back Brake (left hand side).
Have the rider practice each control, while the power is still off.
5.
Explain that it’s time to try some stationary practice, with the power
turned on. Place the rider
’s feet either on the pegs, or on the ground.
Either way, make sure the rider is wearing boots with no laces, and no
loose clothing.
6. Start with both hands on the handlebars.
7. With the power on, and the riders hands on the bars, have the rider
practice opening and closing the throttle. The aim is to get some throttle
control, and not use it as an ‘on-off’ switch. This is very important.
DO
NOT RIDE UNTIL THIS HAS BEEN LEARNED FULLY.
8. While still practicing the throttle, practice using the rear brake to stop the
back wheel. Make sure that this is coordinated. The throttle and brake
should not be applied simultaneously.
UNTIL THESE SKILLS ARE
MASTERED, DO NOT LET THE CHILD RIDE THE BIKE!
NOTE!
If the rider does not fully understand the controls and demonstrate these skills,
do not let them ride. They can try again at a later date when they are ready. The
riders must learn at THEIR pace.
