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. OSET’s may only be ridden in safe areas where all laws are being followed and all required permissions are given.
This will set the throttle response from very slow, up to very fast. The OSET controller is capable of outputting 100 amps, which is a lot of power. At a slow response setting, it will not pull the maximum power on flat ground, but will use what is necessary on inclines.
Please read, understand and follow all Warning, Caution and Note notices on your OSET electric bike and those included in this Manual. If you do not understand any of this important information, please contact your selling dealer/distributor or the OSET Customer...

Secure the handlebars tightly in the steering stem. Double check tightness and alignment. Adjust the brake lever positions and reach to suit the rider.

15. Compress and check each brake lever in turn. The lever should not compress completely to the bar. Each individual brake should hold the bike securely when you push the OSET against the brake. If your brake needs adjustment, follow the instructions on page 20. Learning riders should be aware which lever operates which brake.
SWITCHES, DIALS & INDICATORS: The switch and charge port are under the ‘tank’ area, on the under side. Key Switch: Optional handlebar switch: The key switch turns the power on This switch is in addition to the key and off. When the rider is sitting on switch and provides extra functionality.
available, but it MUST be treated with respect. ALWAYS adjust from lower to higher, in very small increments. PLEASE NOTE: Even at low/slower settings the bike can still provide 100 amps of power in certain conditions. Again, this is a great feature. If a rider is on a steep incline, a lot of power can be delivered to get them up.
DRIVE TRAIN: Your OSET features a traditional chain and sprockets. It is direct drive, with no gears. With the motor mounted in the swingarm, suspension movement has no effect on tension. However, the chain does need to be checked and adjusted regularly, especially when the bike is new.
Fork air pump (not supplied) Rear Suspension: Your OSET is equipped with a single coil spring type rear shock. For a harder/stiffer ride at the rear tighten the adjustment ring in a clockwise direction. For a softer ride, loosen the adjuster by turning anti-clockwise. It also features a...
Optional springs are available from OSET to adjust the spring rate. DAILY MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING: Keep your OSET clean and dry. Clean using the recommended procedure. Check all components for tightness and adjustment, including handlebars, levers, axles, chain, brakes.
FRONT WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION: Please refer to the section on assembling your OSET bike (page 12) for information on installing the front wheel, and reverse the instructions for removal. REAR WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION: 1. Ensure power is switched off and the key removed.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT: A separate owners’ manual is provided with full details on brake maintenance and adjustment. Please read for full information. The brakes are self adjusting to a point, but correct alignment is vital to get the maximum performance. The pads must be equidistant from the disc for maximum efficiency.
Page 23
Inspect pads. Adjust lever reach. - The brake levers can be adjusted for ‘reach’. Use a small 2mm allen key. Turn anti-clockwise to bring the reach closer to the bar (for smaller hands). NOTE: Brake pads should be inspected regularly for wear and replaced when necessary.
If you have any questions about the batteries or their usage, please do not hesitate to contact the OSET Customer Service Department. WARNING! Never short circuit the discharge terminals of the batteries. A short circuit will damage the battery and could cause a fire resulting in severe injury or death, and property damage.
"starved electrolyte." The AGM Battery will not leak acid if broken. • Check that the charger is switched to the correct voltage for your country. • Ensure that the Power Switch on your OSET is switched OFF before connecting the charger to the charge port.
Additional Battery Care Guide: Your OSET 20.0 features a 48v drive system. There are 4 x 12v batteries joined together in series to make 48v. It is very important that the batteries are kept ‘balanced’. If one battery is driven to a lower voltage than the others, it can have the knock on effect of it undercharging, while the other batteries in the system overcharge to compensate.
Page 27
‘balance’ the batteries (see below). The multimeter is also very useful in diagnosing any electrical problems on the bike. OSET recommend ‘balancing’ the batteries periodically. This can be done with a 12v smart charger, such as a Battery Tender or Optimate (available from motorcycle shops and some automotive stores).
To Re-Install the batteries and bag, reverse the above procedure. LONG TERM STORAGE: If you do not plan to use your OSET for an extended period of time (1 month or more), remove the batteries from the bike for storage.

THESE COMPONENTS. Doing so may cause extensive damage to these components, will void your warranty, and may cause a hazardous condition. If you cannot resolve a problem using this owners manual, contact your OSET authorized dealer, or call the OSET Customer Service Department for assistance.
SETTING UP YOUR OSET FOR RIDING: Set the speed switch/button to the correct level for the rider. Low for non-experts and all riders under 10 years old. ‘In’ is HIGH, ‘out’ is LOW. ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE RIDING. Set the ‘response’ dial to the correct level for the rider.
Page 32
NOTE! As the responsible adult, you must ensure that the OSET and its rider are ready to ride, every time. The bike must be set to the abilities of the rider, and you must ALWAYS supervise when, where and how the bike is ridden. Children can lose concentration quickly, and be distracted easily.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS & SAFETY TIPS (BEGINNERS AND LEARNERS): With the bike set up correctly, your OSET is ready to ride! For learning riders, please use these tips and instructions. The riders will get the most enjoyment if they feel safe and in control. Do not be tempted to start the riders too quickly.
When stopped, turn the power off. WARNING! 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. CAUTION! If the rider drops the bike, ensure that the power is turned OFF before lifting the bike.
OSET bikes are designed to be ridden standing up. If the machine is too large for the child, they will have no leverage on the bike, and be unable to develop techniques.
4. LEARNING SOME TECHNIQUE: Learning some correct ‘Trials’ style techniques will put the rider in a great position for all forms of riding that come later. The Trials rider learns how to control the machine at slow speeds, and use correct skills to execute tight turns and other techniques.
Page 37
This manual should be enough to get you started. Further techniques can not be covered in this manual. When learning any technique the most important thing is to do so slowly and safely. Remember that OSET bikes are a Trials bike design, and therefore designed and developed for slow speed riding.
