1.4. Fuse Holder / Wiring
Harness
This is the wiring loom that links the batteries to the relay,
controller and charge port of your OSET. Firstly remove the
fuse from the harness (located beneath the battery cover)
and check the fit. If the fuse is particularly loose in the
holder, close up the connection with a small flat blade
screwdriver. If there is not a good connection here it could
cause ‘arcing’ and in some cases heat developing in the area,
This may mean that the wiring has been compromised. If
there is no pitting on the fuse there is probably no damage.
However there is a small diode in the harness which is
responsible for controlling the flow of current when charging
and heat can damage this.
1. If you feel that there
could be a problem with
this component then
please do give OSET UK a
call. A member of our
technical team will be
able to help you.
Replacement wiring
harnesses are available as
a ‘plug and play’
replacement.
2. Decreased
Run Time
2.1. Batteries. **Run Time is
difficult to quantify for electric
motorcycles as there are so
many factors, such as the
weight of the rider, type of
terrain, riding style etc that can
influence it. We approximate 1
hour to 1 ½ hours run time for
all our current OSET models.
However if you feel that your
batteries are not at this level
then check the following.
The LED battery indicator level is displayed on the throttle
body on the handlebar of the bike. At full power following a
charge all 4 lights should display red. If you see less than this
it is an indication that your batteries are either not producing
the required voltage or they are unable to accept a charge
from the OSET charger. There are a number of scenarios in
which this could occur and this is simply a case of isolating
one to your situation. It is possible to test the output of each
battery with a multimeter if you have access to one. Good
batteries will generate around 13v each. Batteries showing
only 12.1v, 12.2v or less will either mean they have not been
charged adequately, have a bad cell, or are simply old and are
past their best. Our sealed lead acid gel type batteries should
last for around 200-300 charge cycles or 18 months. After
this time they will still operate but will not be able to give the
same run time as when the OSET was new.
1. Purchase New
Batteries to restore the
level of run time.
2. Accept that the
batteries are old and past
their best.
