OSET Electric Trials Bikes

I took the plunge and decided on a Kuberg Trail E for my 5 year old. He's been rding an XR50 for almost a year but I couldnt get him to stand up on the pegs (or sometimes use the pegs at all). I figured a trials type bike would be ideal for teaching this so the XR50 went on Craigslist and the search began for an Oset. As I searched I found that the Oset's commanded a hefty resale premium and I'd have to drive to get it or ship the bike. At $900US, unless the Oset was local I was almost better off buying new. I broadened my search to include the Kuberg and the Gas Gas E bike. Thats when I found that the Kuberg was available on Amazon. I already had an Amazon Prime account…

Hi I'm after an electric trials bike I was hooked on the 20 oset, but now I have seen beta have made the same kind of thing. What you all thinking? Cheers!

Hi All, Can anyone confirm that the LEDs on the charger should be flashing...? Red flashing when charging, Green flashing when charged. Thanks N All sorted. Red LED was flashing when charging but solid green when charged...

Had the pleasure of test riding the new E-tricks electric off road bikes yesterday up Cumbria, and have to say what great machines!! The build quality, bike set up and power are all excellent. Now dad has the option of electric!!! Click the link for a glimpse of what these incredible machines are capable of. Thanks to Martin from MHB motorcycles for a great day..

replaced the stock Oset 24r controller with a different model. installed potentiometers on the throttle's +5v and ground wire, and tweaked them until I managed to tame the acceleration to my liking, and vanish the dead band of the throttle, when applying power. measured the max amp draw at full throttle from stand still on a high traction surface (no wheel spin) - 55 amps. is this reasonable for this model? too low? too high?

Hi guys, Any recommendations for hydraulic brakes for the Oset 16 36V? Im looking to upgrade my sons bike as the current brakes are not responsive enough and very stiff. And advise greatly appreciated!

Has anyone found a "stickier" rear tire for these amazing little bikes? I have ordered a Shinko 241 in hopes, but can't seem to find any reports on any tire other than the stock Cheng shin.

Hi, i have bought a second hand oset 16 36v spider for my daughter for Christmas. Taken her out on it and it seems really slow. On full throttle with the speed adjuster all the way up it goes walking pace. The guy I bought it from said the batteries were about 1.5 years old and it had been stood for about a year. They are lucas 12v 10ah batteries, i have tested the voltage in each battery after being fully charged and are showing to be 12.7v each. Tested the voltage just before motor on full throttle and its showing 37v. I've also taken the motor apart and tested for any signs of damage to the bearings and brushes. All seems fine. Could it be that they need new batte…

Hi Everyone, can anyone point me in the right direction to get a new plastics set for the old (2011ish) Oset 16? I’m really struggling to find anything at all. Uk or European based ideally.

I recently had yet another set of off-the-shelf batteries blow up (overheat and swell, not explode). This time was a set of three 10.5ah SLA batteries, that I believe are PowerSonic brand. But this is the 3rd set in about 3 years: First a set of 8ah's on our 12.5 model (w/ a stock Oset charger). Then a set of 10.5's on a 36v model (I then replaced the Oset charger with an ebay 36v charger) Then this set of 10.5s on one of our two 36v models. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't left these things on charge more than overnight, or 24 hours. I tested both of the two chargers we have (1 Oset and the one I bought on ebay) and both are putting out about 41v. There…

The boys oset 12.5 24v was charging while I was working on my bike, it's a std oset running yuasa batteries which charges by pluggjng into the bike. Anyway, I was wearing shorts and my leg brushed really, really lightly on the footrest and I could feel the electrical current. When I tried it with the palm of my hand I couldn't feel anything, it could be felt using the back of my hand. Is this normal? If not, what may be causing the problem

Hi All, First post here in the Oset forum. I had a 314Cota some time back, and was happy that my old username still worked. Does anyone know if any of the true mx / dirtbike tires will fit the width of the rims on a 12.5 Oset? The stock tires are great in the driveway and lawn, but we just cleared some area at the back of the yard that is pretty slick clay on all but the driest days. Open to thoughts - Thanks, Pete

Is there any were that sells front / rear sprocket to lower the gearing on 36v 16.0 2012 oset thanks

Hi anyone on here any advice on which forks etc will improve the handling of the OSET 16?? Ive found a Rock shox rear shock which with a little engineering will work but I'm unsure which front forks I could use from say a mountain bike, Rock Shox, Fox or similar? Are they sized as 20" then? 1 1/8 steerer? It just seems to me that once the rider has progressed to a reasonable level the bike is letting him down, as the suspension doesnt damp like it should but rather just springs and bounces around lifting the wheel off the ground and losing traction. I dont want to spend a fortune as I am rather hoping his legs will grow and next season get him a petrol bike. Any ide…

Hi, I put new grips on my son's 36v bike and now the throttle comes in at half power making it impossible to ride. The grip that I put on the throttle did require a bit of force to go on and I'm concerned I have damaged the throttle position sensor, I have not looked at taking it to pieces yet but was hoping there would be an easy fix before having to strip it. Any advice would be appreciated, cheers, Mark.

Does anyone know if there is a 9T front sprocket available for Oset 20.0?

Hi all, the 3 pin plug socket broke on my oset charger, from what I can tell its just a American 2 pin plug socket so I just need a converter don't I ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/US-USA-2-Pin-UK-3-Pin-Plug-Adapter-Converter-Black-/130434571648 See this item, and a 10 amp fuse is good ?

My son (8 year, 30kg) rides MX but also has an Oset 20.0 R for technic training at home. It is a MY18 (bought 2019). We are the 2nd owner. I didnt reflect over top speed when I bought it because I didnt knew how fast it should go and had no speedometer. I have had a feeling during the whole Spring that something is not right with the speed. It only goes up to 21km/h while it should be speeding over 50km/h. The bike feels very strong, both when it comes to power and response. But I have nothing to compare to, so maybe it should be stronger. What I have done is, bought new batteries (it didnt help). I also screw down and put together the whole bike (and …

Has anyone put a seat onto an OSET 16 R? I’ve found some online but they’re close to $200. Wondering if a seat from a 50cc bike would fit. Cheers

Hi All My son got a OSET 12.5 (think it’s a 2010 model). The front fork is pretty stiff, and I was thinking on taking It apart, to do a bit of refurb on it. I do know that it’s just springs and no oil, but I still think I could do something (maybe change springs). But it does not seems like you can take the fork apart= Does any of you guys have any good advice – have any of you taken the bloody thing apart? Regards Thoams
