INTRODUCTION

A WORD ABOUT THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY

Firstly, thank you for purchasing an OSET Electric Mini Motocross Bike. This is a serious piece of machinery designed for use by children in fully controlled and safe environments.

As the purchaser/owner of the machine, YOU are the responsible adult with the task of keeping the rider(s) safe at all times. If you defer this task to another adult, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to pass this owners manual and all relevant information to whoever will take on this role, and ensure without question that the rider is controlled and taught in a safe manner.

Your OSET is very adjustable and can be specifically set up for the rider. Please

do not allow the machine to be used or adjusted by other children or adults. There are likely to be many children asking for a ride. DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. It is likely you know the abilities, levels of concentration and attention span of the child you purchased the machine for. EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT and it is impossible for you to properly supervise other children.

Your OSET is driven by a powerful electric motor. The control dials MUST be adjusted to suit the abilities of the rider. Please remember that even when the speed is set to

a slow setting, if the power and response are at high setting, the full torque of the bike will still be available. This means that opening the throttle will propel the machine to the set speed very quickly. Your OSET has great capabilities, and can grow with the skills of the rider to very high levels, but it is IMPERITIVE that the responsible adult controls the entire learning process and gives full attention at all times.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FORESEE ALL POTENTIAL SITUATIONS AND

CONTROL THE RIDING ENVIRONMENT ACCORDINGLY.

This means not just the machine and the rider, but also the riding terrain and environment.

Our machines are virtually silent, and can be used in many places that gasoline bikes can’t. They are brilliant for practicing in back yards; front yards, garages, and even indoors!

OSET Mini Bikes are designed for off road use only and must not be used on public roads or sidewalks. Please check and obey all local laws. OSETs may only be ridden in safe areas where all laws are being followed and all required permissions are given.

OSET’s are amazingly capable, and can be used from the earliest stages of learning to ride all the way through to off road competitions.

The secret of learning to ride well is being able to ride a lot. OSET’s enable this to happen, and can make the learning process very gratifying for both the children and the adults.

Thanks again for purchasing an OSET, and we hope you, and your child, will enjoy the ride!

Ian Smith, President, OSET CORP.

PLEASE READ

PLEASE READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL PRIOR TO OPERATIONS!

To ensure optimum performance from your new OSET, and to ensure safe operation, it is important to fully understand the features of the machine.

This manual contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION that every owner must fully understand.

PARENTS/GUARDIANS

If a child will operate your OSET, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to set up the machine,

and make sure it is operated correctly and safely. Your OSET features a speed dial that sets the speed from a walking pace to top speed. It also has a throttle response ‘map’ dial. This will set the throttle response from very slow, up to very fast. The most important dial is the power dial; the OSET controller is capable of outputting a lot of power.

This power should be treated with respect and must be learned. ALWAYS start the rider at the slowest speed, response and power settings. Even with a slow response,

a lot of power is available, and the rider must learn how to control it. These controls

must be set by the responsible supervising adult. Never allow the child to alter the settings, or to ride without suitable supervision.

Instructing and practicing in a controlled situation will allow the child to learn how

to operate the machine safely, and under control. The child’s enjoyment will be greatly enhanced if they feel safe during the initial learning process. Please follow the instructions contained in this manual before operating the machine.

SERVICE/WARRANTY

For all questions regarding your OSET Mini Bike, please contact your local OSET dealer or importer. Alternatively please feel free to contact OSET customer services.

See distributor contact information on the osetbikes.com web site.

OFF ROAD USE ONLY!

OSET Mini Bikes are designed for off road use only and must not be used on public roads or sidewalks. Please check and obey all local laws.

SAFE OPERATION

WARNINGS!WARNING!

It is illegal and hazardous to use this vehicle on streets and thoroughfares. Use on streets exposes the rider to hazards from motorists and other vehicles. Use on streets can lead to accidents resulting in death or serious injury, and property damage. Check local laws and regulations to find out where and how you may use this product legally.

WARNINGS!WARNING!

This vehicle must be used in the presence of adult supervision to ensure that safe riding practices are established and followed. Even though a child is of the recommended age to use this vehicle, not all children have the strength, skills or judgment needed to operate this vehicle safely. A parent should supervise their child’s operation of this vehicle at all times. Parents should permit continued use of this vehicle only if they determine that their child has the ability and judgment to operate the vehicle safely.

WARNINGS!WARNING!

•OPERATOR ONLY! NO PASSENGERS!

•Long hair, loose clothing or items worn by the rider must be covered to prevent entanglement in moving parts of the vehicle or surroundings while riding.

•Do not exceed the weight limit. Heavier riders may significantly reduce performance and /or render the vehicle unstable and/or over-tax the brakes and other control devices. Heavier riders may cause structural damage not covered by the warranty.

•Do not touch any moving or hot parts.

•Do not ride at night or under other low visibility conditions.

•Do not immerse this vehicle in water.

•Do not ride on steep or uneven surfaces. Steep or uneven surfaces greatly increase the

likelihood of loss-of-control and a fall.

• Do not ride faster than conditions permit for safe operation. Excess speed greatly increases the likelihood of loss-of-control and a fall.

• The rider should be securely seated on the vehicle ready to ride with the kickstand up before turning on the vehicle.

WARNINGS!WARNING!

A high quality helmet approved by your country’s governing body is the single most effective way to reduce the severity of an injury in the event of an accident.

ALWAYS use an approved helmet when riding this vehicle. As this vehicle is intended for OFF-ROAD use, there is a very high likelihood that dirt and other debris will be thrown into the air, presenting the risk of eye injury if protective eyewear is not used.

OFF-ROAD riding presents many hazards such as loose dirt and gravel, obstacles and other difficult-to-see-and-avoid conditions. The possibility of a fall is high. Wear gloves, wrist, knee and elbow protection. Failure to use appropriate safety equipment greatly increases the likelihood of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

WARNINGS!WARNING!

Failure to maintain this vehicle in proper operating condition can lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury, and property damage. If you have any questions about the proper care and maintenance of this vehicle, consult your selling dealer/distributor or contact OSET Customer Services at [e-mail].

Before each ride, make sure that all bolts and nuts are fastened securely and that the tires are properly inflated. Before each ride, check that the throttle and brake controls are operating freely. Adjust and lubricate the drive chain as necessary. See pages 18-30 of this manual for additional details regarding service, repair and maintenance. Check the OSET web site for maintenance guides.

This vehicle should be returned for periodic maintenance to your selling dealer AT LEAST once per year, but more frequently if used under severe conditions.

WARNINGS!WARNING!

Failure to obey all of the warnings & instructions contained in this manual may result in serious injury or death and permanent damage to your OSET.

It’s up to you. We’ve done everything we can to supply you with a safe and reliable product. Please read, understand and practice the following guidelines for safe operation of your OSET electric motocross bike:

SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES

Always follow the Pre-Ride Checklist before every ride.

Do not operate your OSET if any damage is apparent.

Immediately contact your local retailer/distributor or OSET Customer Service.

•Supervision: Riders must be supervised by responsible adults at all times. The rider should never be beyond eye and voice range. An adult must ALWAYS assess and approve the riding conditions and the bike preparedness before the bike is ridden. Always ensure the rider is cautious, maintaining complete control and a reasonable speed. Ensure the terrain is suited to the skills of the rider.

•Helmets & Safety Attire: There is no single factor that works better at reducing the severity of injuries sustained in accidents more than a quality helmet. Please don’t ever allow your OSET to be ridden without one. Riders should also wear suitable riding gear - gloves, eye protection and boots. Boots should NOT HAVE LACES. Shoe laces and loose clothing, or even long hair could potentially get caught in wheels, chains, or sprockets.

•One Rider Only: Your bike was engineered to carry one rider and no (0) passengers. Carrying a passenger would overload the machine and alter the handling. Do not allow this to happen.

• Do not overload the bike: OSET’s are designed for small, lightweight riders. Exceeding the weight limitations will adversely affect the handling of the machine, and potentially cause damage.

•It’s the law; obey it: Obey all laws. OSET’s are for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY. OSET bikes can not be used on public roads or sidewalks. The purchaser, owner, and/or riders of this machine are directly responsible to know and obey all local, state, and federal laws regarding the riding and use of this machine.

•Night time: Don’t ride after dark or in low light conditions.

•Weather & Riding Conditions: Bike brakes don’t work well when they’re wet. Don’t ride in the rain or snow. Please be aware that distance to stop may double or triple over the distance that it takes under dry conditions. Ride more slowly, and anticipate your stops by applying the brakes MUCH earlier. Don’t allow children to ride on slopes that are too steep for their ability.

•Maintenance: It worked fine when we put it in the box: please maintain your bike. There are instructions here in this manual. We haven’t figured out how to make a bike that takes care of itself.

Check the brakes and the tires and the tightness of all those important fasteners before each and every ride. Pretend that you’re a pilot doing a walk-around of his airplane before taking-off. The pilot knows that his life depends on the airworthiness of his airplane; the rider’s life depends on the preparedness of their bike.

Please have your bike checked by a qualified mechanic AT LEAST once a year. It’s a small investment in the well-being of the rider.
