INTRODUCTION:
A WORD ABOUT THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY:
Firstly, thank you for purchasing an OSET Electric Mini 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 speed dial MUST be
adjusted to suit the abilities of the rider. Please remember that even when the
speed is set to a slow setting, the torque on these motors is virtually instant. This
means that opening the throttle will propel the machine to the set speed virtually
instantly. For developing good riding skills this is a wonderful feature, as it will
teach the rider throttle control at a very early age. If the speed is set too high,
then the rider will accelerate very quickly to a speed they are not comfortable
with. In a ‘panic’ situation, riders tend to open the throttle more. This could result
in a crash, serious injury or death, as well as damage to the machine. 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 not. They are brilliant for practicing in back yards, front yards, garages,
and even inside houses!
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.
OSET’s 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 National Children’s Motorcycle Trials
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.
