MOTOR PERFORMANCE: 

 
The motor has a thermal sensor which measures the motor’s internal 
temperature and will shut the motor down before overheating causes any 
irreparable damage. It will reset itself in approximately 15 to 30 minutes. 
 
Motor thermal shutdown can occur when riding in situations that stress the motor, 
such as long up-hills or continuous full throttle operation when there is no rest 
period for the motor. 
 
 

SUSPENSION: 

 
OSET’s feature both front and rear suspension. 
 

Front Suspension: 

The front suspension is of the telescopic variety, and is non-adjustable. 
 

Rear Suspension: 

Your OSET is equipped with a single coil spring type rear shock. For a 
harder/stiffer ride at the rear tighten the adjustment ring in a clockwise direction. 
For a softer ride, loosen the adjuster by turning anti-clockwise. 
 

 

 
 

DAILY MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING: 

 

Keep your OSET clean and dry. Clean using the recommended 
procedure. 

Check all components for tightness and adjustment, including 
handlebars, levers, axles, chain, brakes. 

Check the speed dial potentiometer setting.
