i'm looking to get my son a bigger bike, 16inch wheels

 

i do like the look of a mecatecno but i have never seen one at any of the trials we've been to, is there a reason for this? are they as good as the oset 16.0?

 

pros? cons?

 

thanks for any help

I've seen the Mecatecno, Kuberg and the Oset at trial events and the Oset seems to be the best build quality.  Performance wise, they are very similar, the Kuburg tyres are very poor but i'm sure they can be changed.  There's no real difference in battery life, and they all last a typical trial event.

The Oset bike's do have a lot more support from people on the Forum and also from Oset team themselves, as they are more popular.  Spare parts are readily available online and ebay too.

 

If I was in your shoes and had to buy my sons bike all over again, I would buy him an 2013/14+ Oset 16 ECO or R, no question about it!!  (It might be more more money but you get what you pay for...)
