OSET Electric Trials Bikes

I'm thinking of switching my son's oset 20 to a thumb throttle to avoid whiskey throttle. He's had one incident already and if it keeps happening and he gets hurt, he may not be so keen on riding, which would be terrible. He is familiar with a thumb throttle from his quad. But since no one does this, its probably a bad idea, but I don't understand why?

My son (13 years old) is Using the Oset 24 mostly for enduro. Bike's motor & controller are getting very warm, and go into limp mode. Can happen after 15 minutes of riding. Added a computer fan to cool the controller, but it's not very useful. Any suggestions? Motor is sizzling hot and so is the controller. Heat sink? Cold packs?

Our boys have been spending way more focus and time on their gas machines, and we decided to sell the pair of 36v 16's. I expected that they would go super quickly, but there has been almost no interest here on craiglist and a couple of the local MC (not trials) forums. Is $800 and $900 out of line for 3 year old machines? Or is it just that trials is out of the US mainstream? Pete

Hi guys, this is my first post so hello from Northern Ireland. I have just bought a 2012 oset 16 for my young cub as all the MX tracks are closed and he needs something to keep him occupied while this lockdown is happening as he's driving me insane lol! Apparently the wee bike has been sitting unused for a year. I brought it home and charged it up for about 6 hours or so. All was good and I was surprised at the power delivery until the boy tried going up a steep hill. It just wouldn't pull him up. Its fine on a flat surface but absolutely useless on hills. My boy is 5 years old and 20kg in weight so surely this wee bike should be able to pull him no problem. …

Hi, Is there any indication/stickers referring to the manufacturer of these bike in China or which district they made in, any clues would be really useful to me. Thanks foozoo.

Hello! I´m about to buy an Oset for myself (and my son off course) and would like someone to measure the motor - diameter and length. The reason is that I want to put in a brushless motor if there is space enough (with some mods). I´m a bit allergic to DC motors... As I have seen there is room for a bit bigger diameter than stock motor but the length is limited between the swingarm.

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 Newbie here - to both trails & Oset. Bought a 2nd hand 2017 24 R privately. Just gone to charge it, red light comes on on the charger but not the yellow one as it should have as the bike battery is flat. I try to pull off the charger plug lead from the battery socket (after unscrewing the locking ring)& the charger plug on the lead comes apart in my hand !!!! DOHHHH !!!! The plastic cap & metal 'plug' in the lead have separated with all 4 wires detaching from the 'prongs' in the metal body of the charger lead plug. Anyone know of someone who can repair it please or any other recommendations,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Many thanks …

I've been following trials central for a while but have only just joined the forums, which have been of great use over the past couple of years. We have been using Oset's, first a 12 inch and for the last 12 months a 16 inch 36 volt bike for my 5 year old. The Oset was second hand when we got it and we just decided to buy him a new bike now he's been competing for a few months. After looking at Oset and Gas Gas versions we opted for the Gas Gas, which was quite a bit cheaper at £900 (36 volt). I was sceptical as everybody else seems to favour the Oset! We have been running the Gas Gas for a few weeks now and all so far is well with it. If anybody else is thinking o…

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. …

Just spotted this on YouTube, pretty impressive for a 7yr old... Young Wheelie King Video

Hi all just wondering just purchased a oset 16 36 v brilliant bit a kit for my boy he loves it but noticed the charger is flashing red and yellow is this normal and is there a fast charger I can buy or a battery upgrade for longer riding many thanks Dan

Have a look at thse videos http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...p;search=Search The first one 'OSET - On the Hill' shows a fairly deep beck section about 1 minute 40 seconds in

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

Has anyone tried the lighter rear spring available on eBay for the 20R ? The stock one seems a bit stiff just wondering if anyone has some feedback thanks

Hi, My lad is nearly 4 and the 12.5 is looking a bit small. I don't really want to our faze him by moving him to a bike too big for him. I tried using the adjustable stearing head from my bicycle but it didn't just raise the handle bars it also move them forward quiet a lot which seemed to have a drastic effect on the bike's geometry. I think he'll be ready around Xmas time to move up, but until then does anyone have any ideas how to make his 12.5 bigger and therefor easier for him to ride?

Hello, Steve here, use to ride with Hillsborough MCC some time ago, have just bought my daughter a Oset 16, so will be visitng frequently and maybe have a bike for myself in the future. I also have a few questions re the 36v Oset 16 we have. I`ve turned the power right down on the parent control and I was hoping to get this down to walking pace but this doesn`t seem possible should it come down to this speed on the 36v? I`m also aware of the punch from the 36v on pull off, I was wondering if you can run the 36v motor with just 2 batteries at 12v each to reduce the punch? If I decide to go the 24v route is just a case of swapping out the motor and charger? Are the rest …

Hi guys, Just picked up a 2010 Oset 16 36V and noticed an intermittent problem. When the motor is running full open throttle or if the bike is slowing down there is a rubbing noise coming from the motor. It doesn't seem to happen when getting up to speed. First I thought it was from the chain against the plastic casing but in fact its coming from the motor. The sound isn't loud, and initial instinct was a wheel bearing, but is definiately coming from the motor. There doesn't seem to be any play in the bearings as rotation and chain tension seem fine. Has anyone else had a similar problem or any advise before stripping the motor? Also are these motors easy to split…

Hi guys, Thanks for your help in advance. Our Oset 20R has been running strong but all of a sudden weak power to rear wheel. I’ve read all forum topics and similar symptoms point to a faulty throttle. This happened last year and a new throttle solved the problem. So this time I bought another throttle and I’ve installed a brand new throttle and doesn’t help. I’ve run all diagnostic tests from the Oset you tube troubleshooting vids (I think there were 12 videos approximately). Everything passes the test with ohms meter. Batteries all strong, relay clicking, fuse seems to look good and work, etc. Oset powers on, all 3 throttle lights light up, I hear relay click und…
