WARNINGS!
Failure to obey all of the warnings & instrucons contained in this manual may result in
serious injury or death and permanent damage to your OSET.
WARNING!
It’s up to you. We’ve done everything we can to supply you with a safe and reliable
product. Please read, understand and pracce the following guidelines for safe operaon
of your OSET electric motocross bike:
WARNINGS!
A high quality helmet approved by your country’s governing body is the single most
eecve 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, presenng the risk of eye injury if protecve eyewear is not used.
OFF-ROAD riding presents many hazards such as loose dirt and gravel, obstacles and other
dicult-to-see-and-avoid condions. The possibility of a fall is high. Wear gloves, wrist,
knee and elbow protecon. Failure to use appropriate safety equipment greatly increases
the likelihood of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
WARNING!
WARNINGS!
Failure to maintain this vehicle in proper operang condion can lead to an accident
resulng in death or serious injury, and property damage. If you have any quesons about
the proper care and maintenance of this vehicle, consult your selling dealer/distributor or
contact OSET Customer Services at info@osetbikes.com.
Before each ride, make sure that all bolts and nuts are fastened securely and that the res
are properly inated. Before each ride, check that the throle and brake controls are
operang freely. Adjust and lubricate the drive chain as necessary. See pages 18-30 of this
manual for addional 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 condions.
WARNING!

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 mes. The rider
should never be beyond eye and voice range. An adult must ALWAYS assess and
approve the riding condions and the bike preparedness before the bike is ridden.
Always ensure the rider is cauous, maintaining complete control and a reasonable
speed. Ensure the terrain is suited to the skills of the rider.
• Helmets & Safety Are: There is no single factor that works beer 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 protecon and boots. Boots should NOT HAVE LACES. Shoe
laces and loose clothing, or even long hair could potenally 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. Ex-
ceeding the weight limitaons will adversely aect the handling of the machine, and
potenally 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 me: Don’t ride aer dark or in low light condions.
• Weather & Riding Condions: 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 condions. Ride more slowly, and ancipate
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 ne when we put it in the box: please maintain your bike.
There are instrucons here in this manual. We haven’t gured out how to make a
bike that takes care of itself.
Check the brakes and the res and the ghtness 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-o. 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 qualied mechanic AT LEAST once a year.
It’s a small investment in the well-being of the rider.
