OSET Electric Trials Bikes

Hi folks, bit of a random one here. Running an old 16 24v but using a 36v Boost battery and it was working great until the chain broke. The chain jammed and the motor made a clicking noise when then it jammed. Once cleared, the front sprocket looked like it ran perfectly. Stuck on a new chain but once any weight is added to the bike, it accelerates much slower than previously but has the same top speed (once it finally gets there). Any thoughts would be appreciated....the motor is the old 24v 500w motor, could it just be done???

My friend has an electric 2017 OSET 24.0 RACE and is not very happy with the response of the bike. Did he make a bad purchase for a trial bike?

I am giving my 3.5 year old grandson an OSET 12r and I an wondering what tire pressure folks are using and any other set up tips (not that he'll notice at first!). Also, since he is skilled on hs balance bicycle, my plan was to pull the pegs off for the first ride and let him get used to it, then put the pegs on a day later or so. Thoughts on this or any other suggestions on making his transition easier? Thanks, Ward

Hi! Is there any recommendations to more powerfull motor to Oset 12.5. Something pretty similar as sise wise to stock motor so it fits the swing. I want brushed because I have allready Kelly Controller fitted. Between 800-2000 watts?

Oset 20 lite 2015 got lights on throttle but no response when I turn throttle. replaced the relay and a small red cable has melted when I connected it to battery cables are right places as I did them one by one. Has anyone had this issue or no what might have happened. also still have no response so not sure what that issue is

GRIPS: I cut the grips off and replaced them with a bicycle inner tubes so my daughter could get her hands around it. I used an oil quart cap duct taped over the accelerator end for protection, and tied the inner tube into a knot on the left side, with cut tassles for my daughter's enjoyment of course. This also keeps dirt out of the throttle tube. GOVERNOR ACCESS: I used a heat shrinkwrap tube over the governor to extend is out because I kept losing the small screwdrivers, did not want them in my pocket while I chased my kids, messed up the dial by turning too hard, etc. Ian sent me one for free, Ian at OSET provides AAA service, hands down. Someone else mentioned…

Hi, my little boy is desperate to get on a trials bike and the Oset 12.5 sounds like the bike for him. He is 3'2" (38 inches) on the Oset site it says up to 46 inches so he'll be good for a while before hitting the max height on it but is there a minimum height and is he tall enough for one? Also, as an electric bike, does this mean that he can literally ride it anywhere (with me present) without me getting hassled?? Most of the time I would look to use the new ground in Milton Keynes but am thinking if we want to pop out for half an hour can we do so?? Thanks

Hi all i have greased the swinging arm bushes on my sons oset and am intending getting a lighter spring for the shock off the oset website to make the rear suspension more suitable for his weight. However Oset dont list softer springs for the forks anyone managed to soften them as i would like to make both front and rear softer.

Hey Guys, Just got the kids some Osets, any advice on handlebard padding and smaller more user friendly break levers? Breaks have made the stock adjustments, moved levers closer, oiled/greased cables, cleaned calipers and still not as smooth and close as needed. many thanks!!

Hello from Scotland, I have just acquired 2x 20.0s and now realise that I'll be needing a second set of batteries. I'm not yet ready for lipo. I see I can buy from Oset at £39.99, or from intamicro https://www.intamicro.co.uk/p-653-rec10-12-yuasa-battery-12v-10ah.aspx for £24.99. probably elsewhere too. As I am buying two sets, the price difference is significant. Anyone know a reason not to go with the cheaper supplier? Also, what is the perceived wisdom regarding off-bike charging? I was thinking of buying a socket like on the bike and simply attaching it to the batteries. Can anyone point me to a source for the socket? Can I balance the current and future batt…

Have brought the Shenko “19” 3.50 back tyre to put on my 24 Oset haven’t fitted it yet and just wondering if I could have some thoughts on this the Shenko was $30.00 as opposed to $600.00 for the 17 inch wheel and wider trials tyre from Oset , I only use the bike for trials and it’s great but looses a bit of grip with stock tyre, would I be better off with the 17 from oset or the Shenko, the Shenko will change the gearing a bit !!!! Thoughts

Hi all. Playing with an idea at the moment, and hoping for a little advice. I think @gwhy may be the man. If possible I'd like to remove the 3 power dials and replace with a simple bar mounted switch and reduce it to 2 power modes. Sort of high/low torque. Does anybody know if this would be possible. And a follow up, I'd like an handlebar mounted battery monitor/SOC read out. Any ideas?. Thanks guys.

Our 2007 OSET 16 24V has seen a bit of use now and has had a few electrical component issues along the way, but has been quite sturdy mechanically until the drive pin for the motor sprocket sheared recently. My 21kg son was riding in a manner I consider quite normal at the time, practicing crossing timber railway sleepers on a gentle uphill slope. I know it is quite a simple job to replace the drive pin, but am wondering if it is a common failure or not, to help me decide whether I should use a different type of drive pin or the same again. The drive pin that it came with from new is a 3mm diameter steel roll pin.

I've finally tracked down a bike for my lad that isn't the other end of the country! HURAH! 16.0 24v, looks like its had a pretty easy life. Can't wait to show him it! Only problem now is his little sister getting grumpy that she hasn't got one! I have a few upgrades planned already Can anyone explain what a 36v can do over a 24v? I wont be doing it soon, but just trying to understand the benefit.

My sons oset just stopped moving all of a sudden. All lights are on the handlebars, but it just isn't moving. I've checked the wires and they all seem to be connected properly.. do i suspect the worst in that the motor is broken or could it be something simple?

My 2 year old is bike mad. He's got a balance bike and loves it rides it so confidently. So we've just got him an oset, he's still a bit small to hold it up on his own so we've put stabilisers on till he grows a little and gets used to it. He loves it and is doing really well. Here's some pics

My sons gasgas e12 only lasts about 20mins now, it's a year old and I'm guessing the batteries need re-newing. It's the 36v 16in model, I can get the same 3 batteries for £55 but would rather upgrade if possible, I've read the forum for the oset bikes does anyone know if the same can be done to the gasgas e12, obv I don't want to fry the motor. Also if I was to upgrade to lithium batteries, what's the best size, AH charger ect? Many thanks in advance

Hello, Just fired up the other 20 and... 1. No battery lights showing, but going like a rocket 2. Rear tyre keeps coming off the rim (!) Anyone experienced same? Cheers CG

I have just picked up a used Oset and notice the motor says 900w which appears is the same as the 20 lite. Are these out of the factory like this or could it be a upgrade? Oset spec suggests 800w is normal. Cheers

Hi. My 5 y/o son has an Oset 16.0 racing and loves spending every spare minute on it. The "throttle" has always troubled me though, and having had no previous experience with e-bikes of any description and no ability to benchmark against other bikes, I need the help of forum members to ascertain whether the characteristics of his bike are normal or not.. From a stand-still all the way to full power the "throttle" behaves as expected and can be modulated well with a corresponding increase in speed at the rear wheel, HOWEVER when winding off the "throttle" from any position the speed/power cannot be modulated other than to eventually fully stop the transmission of power …
