OSET Electric Trials Bikes

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have owned my 24R since June. Now that its getting dark earlier now I need light. Have any of you installed any light on your bike.

So I'm looking to ride some local mountain bike trails and workout my working line German shepherd. Just discovered electric trials bikes today, and been looking at osets 20/24s. Would these bikes work for this purpose? I may try some light trialing, but what attracted me to these is they look like mountain bikes. There's no laws against electric bikes here on trails here in Kansas. but between the dog and the bike, I'm just not trying to attract to much attention so that people will complain. people generally don't care bout that kinda stuff around here anyways. Any advice is appreciated!

took ryan out on sunday for a bit of practice ready for this weekends oset cup.After 5 mins the motor started smoking then just stopped dead, stripped it down there was more mud and crap in there than was on the field, anyway cleaned it all out left to dry for a couple of days then rebuilt last nite everything was working fine till this morning, again 5mins on bike it's started smoking again he's only been on tarmac since. everything looks fine any ideas what it could be?? don't fancy it stopping after a couple of sections and having a bad tempered 4 yr old on saturday

Gavin has a 12.5 OSET. He loves riding it..but sometimes loses intrest in doing circles in the street.. It gets dark before he gets home from daycare, so I can't take him to the park. I have a 1000 watt light that lights up the front so he can ride.. To make it interesting, I have this little peice of wood that let him ride up and down the curb. I have also found that drawing a chalk "racecourse" on the street is fun.. So I was at HomeDepot today and I got this idea... $7.15 worth of lumber.. 2x4 cut in half.. Shave the ends.. 1x4 cut in 16" lengths.. A nail gun..and ta da!!! New ramp for the kids!! Works on curbs too :fact I'll post up how h…

Remove all Advertisements Hi, I have an Oset 16 spider 2007/2008 year electric trials bike for my nephew.A friend got it new and I got it for my nephews I dug it out the other day to get it fixed up for him as he is now at that age. It has a couple of broken wires and I can't seem to find a wiring diagram for it. I have emailed Oset to try and buy one but have had no reply as yet . I was wondering if anyone has one and could mybe take a couple of pictures of the 2 multi plugs near the battery packs thats where the problems are for reference for me so I can repair it. I have attached a couple of pictures of the area. Any help would be much appreciated I have an h…

Pick up a 12.5 for my sons Xmas present next week . How much riding will he get from a full charge ? Or do you guys have a spare pre charged for when the bike ones flat thanks Phil

Hi all, I've recently bought a 2nd hand 20 racing, I believe 2016, when you open the throttle there is a very slight hesitation, its all the way through the range and adjusting the response doesn't seem to get rid of it, is this normal? my son doesn't seem notice it but it is there and must be hindering his riding. Also how to people wash their bikes? I've been told a jet wash isn't the thing to do. thanks for any help Wayne

Hi, I just purchased the bike recently and have a ton of fun with it. Only nagging issue so far is a clunking noise. I would guess it's coming from the front fork, because as I was focusing on determining where it comes from, I could link to the time when going at speed over roots, as if the fork was quickly rebounding to the maximum extended length. It almost feels that there's no top-off springs, but rather like a metal bushing would hit a metal stopper lip in the tubes. I am running 10psi pressure and tried the rebound setting everywhere from min to max without any positive impact on the issue. Bike is in warranty, but dealer is almost 2hrs drive aw…

I think i spotted one of these in the TC photos from the world round last weekend. Can anyone comment how it performed ? looked like the rider was on 125 course

Hi folks, Muddy Oset! I'm worried about washing the bike with water. Any tips?

Just got a new 36v Oset . I've been charging the batteries as directed in the owners manual but the battery life seems poor . The life just drops off the edge of a cliff after about 30 mins of general "section" riding in the local flat woodland . Strictly no wide open throttle MX riding . The battery indicators wouldn't go past the 2nd light as the performance dropped off but the bike was crawling at about 3mph . Even when the bike ground to a halt and stopped it showed 2 lights on the throttle . Our old 24v went 3-2-1 empty . Even our new 12.5 out performed the 36v by dong 2 rides on 1 charge as opposed to the 36v 1ride - 1 charge . Any clues or theories would be help…

Hi, has anyone found a suitable heat sink to use for the 24 r motor to help keep a little cooler?

Hi all. After some help with adding a Kelly controller to a mx10 (they use the Same loom ect as the 24 r). Has anyone on here done the mod yet? elliott

Hi, As the title says really who's done it and what sort of issues did you come up against in the process ? Basically I have been in two minds to go down the petrol or electric route as a starter for my 8yr old, really not many decent petrol ones around (been searching for couple of months) unless you start spending £1k + and then you still dont know what sort of a life they have had ! Then of course after watching a few recent trials all the kids seem to be on these Oset bikes and looks like this is the way forward but after being brought up on petrol bikes I suppose that's why I wanted to smell the 2stroke bliss again but that coupled with the obvious noise differen…

Hello guys, I bought a new "upgrade" chain kit for my 2011 oset 16". So bigger chain. The shop confirms me its OK but I doubt that there is to much play between chain and chainring. The owner isn't in till next week so I cant double check with him. Could any of you please check if it is the same on a new model Oset 16"? See pic and movie https://youtu.be/nnnaTCFe8kc Big thanks!

Hi All, Looking for some simple help and guidance on a Lipo Conversion. My son is very small, so I'm looking to save weight and increase range! Does anybody have a list of exactly what bits I'll need to oder from Hobbyking, to do the conversion? Understand that I'll need a balance charger and monitor/alarm system on the battery pack itself. But, what will we need in terms of connectors and the batteries themselves? Many thanks in advance! Scott

Hello Just got an Oset 20 for the kids. It has standard wheels and tyres. What pressures do you run at? Looks like no chance of running them at normal trials bike pressures. Thanks Dave

Has anyone fit a rear brake foot pedal on an oset 24? I was looking at getting one but I am a little thrown off by the hand brake levers for the rear.

I find these forums a great source of valuable information, and wanted to add with my review of the first 6 months of my OSET knowledge. I have a girl (5yo) and a boy (8yo). They both started riding the OSET at 4 and 7. I struggled a little with the price but with apparent good resale value and good reviews I overcame this. I bought a new 36V in Mar this year. I live in town, a quiet street with a back yard. Had I bought a 2T gas motor this story would have lasted about a day, but the whirr of the tires is the only sound so no neighbour issues. Getting my kids started with a twist grip and huge torque was a major challenge, it will dump every kid on their behind and…

Hi all, I am looking for a little help with my daughters 2007 16. 24v. I recently purchased a new throttle assemble for the bike from the UK as we don't have the dealer network here in New Zealand. The original throttle. The new assembly. The dealer sent me the newer version assembly with a different connector but also the corresponding connector half to replace the one on the bike. After fitting the new part I found that the bike runs fine but the LED display on the throttle is not illuminated. Has anyone come across this before? I am wondering if I missed something or have received a faulty throttle assembly possibly? The dealer stated that this throttle woul…
