I have an oset 20 and the batteries only last 30 mins. I'd like to upgrade them but I'm unsure what to buy, what are the recommended upgrade choices?

Can anyone tell me if these will work on an oset 12.5? or does anyone have any tips on how to make it easyer for little hands that are not strong enough to pull the levers? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/116mm_fixed_hubs/onza_sealed_disc_rear/c62p10814.html or someone else sugested magura hydrolic rim brakes. jhas anyone had any luck with these and will they fit? http://activesport.co.uk/shop/article_hs33_0000-002/Magura-HS33-Hydraulic-Single-Rim-Brakes.html?pse=coa

Ok so bought my son I used oset 16 racing yesterday, after we got home he spent a good hour or so riding so I put the bike on charge, standard bartteries and charger, went to it this morning and I could smell the batteries, anyway they are now dead hot and swollen up, surely the charger would cut off when they are full? Is this my fault for leaving them on too long or a battery or charger error?

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

Has anyone gone from 24v to 36v ? My son is 8 and has been riding his 16.0 24v for more then 2 years. He rides well but finds it hard to lift the front wheel. Does the 36v. have much more torque making it easier to lift the front wheel ? Thanks.

I signed up for newsletter updates on the Oset site. The 24 looks great but I'm having a hard time figuring out the size compared a full-sized bike. I suppose 24 means 24" wheels? Although it looks like the rear is running a full size trials tire. "The OSET 24.0 development program is gaining pace. We are waiting on several important test parts to take the project closer to production, but currently have four test bikes being used by a variety of riders in a variety of situations. Reaction to the bikes has been universally positive, with the performance continuing to surprise and amaze! The 24.0 will be an important addition to the range and introduc…

That is the question, I can not decide so please help if you had similar problem when choosing the first bike for your child. He is on his second push bike already on "16 wheels. Prefers to rides bigger now. He will hold the weight of oset16 when stationary at the shop, but not sure he will manage in slow turns or over obstacles. 12.5 seems too small but sales person at the shop advice is to get 12 for him for one year. Unfortunatelly can not find anywhere he could try both near London. He was on Kuberg trailE at bike show but that was too tall.

Having electrical problems with my lads 12.5 and need some expert advice! Here's the story so far.... The problem is that the drive is very weak and juddery and only a small amount of load on the rear wheel causes it to stall, i.e no torque. My initial thought was the motor brushes. Bike is a 2011 model and has been well used so would make sense. I've had the motor to bits before to do bearings so I set off down the route of checking these. However, I decided to direct wire the motor to the batteries before stripping it - this resulted in the motor spinning up nicely and with loads of torque so I didn't progress the motor strip. I've examined all connections and can't …

Hi all, first of all, I apologize for my poor english, I'm french ;-) I've just bought a 20 R to my 8 year old son, He really enjoy it all day long, but it's really long to have to recharge every 45 mn of use for 2H, then I have tried to understand all what you write about LIPO...with my poor english and my very poor knowing in electric system. For resume, Is anyone could tell me the simple way (and safer) to do this upgrade, and the gain we'll have. Thanks

Looking for advice on what petrol generator will power the charger for my Freeride E. I know it's not a trials bike but there is so much knowledge on here regarding E bikes. So I want to take the bike to my local MX/Enduro bike park, they don't have electricity so I can't recharge between rides. I can easily get 60 mins+ continuous ride time when I am not gassing it MX style so my plan is ride for a hour, have lunch and recharge the bike, then ride for another hour, and repeat. The charger needs 13 A steady output to fast charge, and 10A steady for normal charging. I found this article that talks about charging the battery with a petrol generator on the KTM bl…

I am looking at chainging the colour of my daughters 16" Oset as she would like a more girly colour, I was wondering is anyone has tried spraying a trials bike mudguard? Is there a paint that is flexible enough to stay on without cracking? Pete

Hi everyone, we have a Oset 16 24v which my 9 year old girl and my 5 year old boy just love to ride,we have done the lipo conversion to it and makes it lighter and go for longer, My girl is out growing the bike ,but had a go on a friends Oset 20 thats the correct size for her and can ride no problem,she loved it , so looking around the last couple of months have seen the Mecatecno T14,looks a good design and lipos fitted as standard,not much info out there but hear they have good quality parts and well put together,also on the pictures i have seen looks like has real trials tyres, Has anyone got one,had a go on one,or even seen one, would like to hear any views on bo…

I have bought the KTM Freeride - E. I know it's not a trials bike but after seeing my son take his Lipo'd Oset 20 to places a petrol bike can't go I was sold on an e bike. Almost bought the EM5.7 but the lack of dealer support put me off, the KTM has a 3 year warranty on battery and charger and a 2 year warranty on the bike itself plus the backing of the biggest player in dirt bikes. Anyway, my van has a 12v power output and I was thinking I could run an inverter to recharge the bike whilst I have a break - full charge is just over an hour. Realise I am likely to have to run the engine as I do this. On fast charge I need a constant output of at least 13 A and on normal…

Hi All, My son has a Oset 20 Racing, I believe it’s a 2016. He’s been competing in schoolboys events for approx. 6 months on the bike, the club has acquired a new piece of ground which has more hills. We went to a trial last Saturday at this new venue. When my son opened the throttle the bike accelerates as it should and he was carrying enough speed to easily reach the top, but when he’s nearing the top of the hill the bike completely cuts out, no power at all and he falls off, when I picked him up the bike worked completely as normal. All it needed to "reset" was to close throttle. The bike did this on every largish hill for the next 4 sections, event…

Anyone seen it yet? Please post pics if you have seen it. Their new MX- bike for 2015 sure looks serious to me but with a 24" concept... Now we are talking..thank you Oset from all us six feet tall kids;-).

Hi, planning on buying my son a oset 12.5 but not to sure what one yet just wanted to no what the main diffrences are between the eco & racing and what would be the best one to go with.

We just picked up an OSET 16, and an OSET 20 yesterday. OSET 16 24V needs new batteries. Anyone have a good battery recommendation? Amazon has a bunch of 12v/14ah batteries or should I go through OSET? Charger was also having issues so I got a new one on order from Amazon, specs all match OEM charger.

Hope some experienced help can be had. New to Oset and little electric knowledge, bought a 2015 16R (I think) yesterday and was told the original batteries are in it. The serial number on the frame is 16R4I114 but have been unable to confirm what this is. The charger appears to be original supplied 36W and has three parallel batteries. I'll list the issues I have. 1. When plugged in the wall outlet, charger blinks red sometimes, but not always. …

If anyone has done an air shock upgrade on a 16 Oset, could you please post details/pics of the shock and modification needed? Trying to shave a bit more weight off the bike for my daughter. Also, if anyone knows how to soften up the fork that would be useful too. Much obliged
