Riders should wear boots without laces, and not have any loose clothing that could be caught by the chain. The Spider 16.0 features a front disc brake, as opposed to the ‘V’ Brake on the Spider 12.5.
NOTE! If you purchased your OSET at a local retailer your machine may be fully adjusted and ready to ride. If you purchased your OSET in the carton, please carefully follow the instructions below and any supplemental instructions to finish the assembly and adjustment of your OSET.
SWITCH PLATE: The ‘switch plate’ is under the seat area and is the location for several important items, as follows: Please Note: All pictures are of pre-production Key Switch: prototypes, so could differ from the final The key switch turns the power on production machines.
WARNING! If power is turned on while the throttle is open, the bike will accelerate immediately. This is potentially very dangerous. The rider’s right hand should be used to switch the power on, with no hands on the throttle. WARNING! It is very important to keep everyone clear of the bike when changing and checking the speed setting.
DRIVE TRAIN: Your OSET features a traditional chain and sprockets, covered by a plastic chain-guard. 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.
The front suspension is of the telescopic variety, and is non-adjustable. 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.
Check the tires for proper inflation. Also, inspect the tires for damage. CLEANING: Cleaning and maintaining your OSET correctly will provide a more enjoyable ownership and riding experience. By hand cleaning the bike, you can simultaneously inspect all of the components. We recommend cleaning be done with a damp cloth.
REAR WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION: 1. Ensure power is switched off. 2. Lift the bike onto a block or stand so the wheels are off the ground. 3. Remove the chain-guard by removing the 4 bolts securing it. 4. Release the band brake cable by undoing the cable pinch bolt (a).
WARNING! OSET brakes are adjustable. Beginning riders should have the front brake ‘backed off’ somewhat so it does not bite too suddenly. As the rider gets better, the brake can be tightened up for a quicker action.
If you have any questions about this battery or its usage, please do not hesitate to contact the OSET Customer Service Department. WARNING! Never short circuit the discharge terminals of the battery. A short circuit will damage the battery and could cause a fire resulting in severe injury or death, and property damage.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS: • Ensure that the Power Switch on your OSET is switched OFF before connecting the charger to the charge port. • Carefully align the connector pins and connect the charger to the bike by plugging the connector into the charger receptacle.
• It normally takes four to six hours to fully charge your batteries from a fully discharged condition. • Fully charge the batteries for at least twelve hours before using your OSET electric bike for the first time. • Fully charge the batteries for at least twelve hours for the first three charges after using your OSET bike.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The liability of OSET hereunder is expressly limited to the replacement of goods complying with this warranty or at the sole election of OSET to the repayment of an amount equivalent to the purchase price of the product in question. CAUTION: Some states...
