Yes I can vouch for the top notch service from Oset. My charger was faulty and they supplied one F O C to me within a couple of days.

I bought my sons Oset 36volt of Graham Jarvis. If you do a search on google for his contact details I am sure he will be able to help you. Like the other post shows, they are not a cheap piece of kit but, They are worth every penny as they don't intimidate the rider. My son is 4 and he loves his. My next door neighbours son is 9 and he can wheelie it a little and he has only rode it 3 or 4 times max. The one concern I had about the Oset was that my son has riding experience as he had a LT50 quad and a PW50 bike and I wondered how he would react to the silent power delivery.... He managed no problem. I bought an extra set of batteries as well but the life on the fitted batteries is very good as long as its not running at full throttle for too long, I have slowed it down a bit now to give him more balance and I can get 1 and a half hours out of a set of batteries no problem.

I will do, He lives opposite me so I see him quite abit. Where did the accident happen ? I thought looking at the programme, somewhere on Colsterdale moor ? I remember a large-ish drop on the trail where I nearly went over the handle bars myself.

I saw that on Helicopter Heroes this year, My neighbour is Simon, the paramedic that tended to your injuries (if I am thinking of the same accident). He flys with the Yorkshire air ambulance. Glad your doing ok now.

I am in the UK so test riding is not an option. Thanks for the reply, It has answered my questions.

Have you used an optimate to charge the batteries or do you charge them on the bike ? The reason why I ask is because I have bought a spare set of batteries for my sons Oset 16 (36 volt). Also whats the score on the charging front as I didnt get a manual with mine due to it being a demo bike. I have the 36 volt mains charger which has a red light on it whilst plugged in. Do I have to wait for this to turn green before the batteries are fuly charged ?? Or is it the lights on the throttle that turn green ??

I have just bought my son an Oset 16 36volt today.... Watch youtube for footage after Father Christmas has delivered it to him. Roll on December, I haven't been this excited since I was a child. It looks a fantastic piece of kit, and I am sure that he will love it. Andrew
