Just had another look at the bike now and it seems there is about 1/6 play in the throttle where nothing happens whatsoever, I'm sure this is contributing to the throttle delay but as its not cable operated very hard to adjust the free play. Anyone done anything about the free play in the throttle?

I will research this a little more or hopefully someone else has some inight? Could it be the battery causing the issue I wonder? Unfortunately I don't have the LA batteries to try but will see if I can get some.

Nice one, seems like you get where I'm coming from. Yeah I guess the power could be controlled with the back brake somewhat I'll have a mess about with that.

Cheers we are aware of these and it makes no difference to the throttle issue.

Great bikes I had one as a kid. Unfortunately you can't ride one out your front door, down the street, to the skatepark, at the local mtb trails and so on...

Bit of background first my son is 8 and has been riding autos since he was about 3. A few months back we got a 2018 oset 20r which has a boost bikes Lipo battery. Trouble is we are finding it REALLY hard to get to grips with the bike, I've ridden it myself and can see where he's coming from. I know it's not a petrol bike so it will be different but I will try to explain the problem... Its all to do with the throttle control and how the power surges very quickly with no build up whatsoever. There is also a good 1 second gap between hitting the throttle and movement at the rear wheel... This is the biggest problem. It makes any kind of slow, technical riding really difficult. Don't get me wrong we are having fun on the bike but just wished it was easier to ride. Has anybody else had a similar experience and if so how did you sort it or did you live with it? Thanks Dan
