oset MX-10 Mk.1 - Safety Tips for Riders and Learning; Rider Supervision and Initial Learning; Stationary Learning and Skill Mastery

NOTE
As the responsible adult, you must ensure that the OSET and its rider are ready to ride, every
me. The bike must be set to the abilies of the rider, and you must ALWAYS supervise when,
where and how the bike is ridden. Children can lose concentraon quickly, and be distracted
easily. If the speed or throle response is set too high then loss of control could result.
BEGINNERS & LEARNERS
With the bike set up correctly, your OSET is ready to ride! For learning riders, please use these ps
and instrucons. The riders will get the most enjoyment if they feel safe and in control. Do not be
tempted to start the riders too quickly. Make sure the speed and response are set to their slowest
sengs to begin.
STATIONARY LEARNING
1. Ensure the key switch is in the o posion.
2. Li the machine on to a stand or block so the back wheel is an inch or two o the ground.
Ensure the bike is stable and cannot be rocked or fall o the stand.
3. Sit the rider on the machine.
4. Explain all the controls:
A. Throle
B. Front Brake (right hand side).
C. Back Brake (le hand side).
Have the rider pracce each control, while the power is sll o.
5. Explain that it’s me to try some staonary pracce, with the power turned on. Place the
rider’s feet either on the pegs, or on the ground. Either way, make sure the rider is wearing
boots with no laces, and no loose clothing.
6. Start with both hands on the handlebars.
7. With the power on, and the riders hands on the bars, have the rider pracce opening and clos-
ing the throle. The aim is to get some throle control, and not use it as an ‘on-o’ switch. This
is very important.
DO NOT RIDE UNTIL THIS HAS BEEN LEARNED FULLY.
8. While sll praccing the throle, pracce using the rear brake to stop the back wheel.
Make sure that this is coordinated. The throle and brake should not be applied
simultaneously.
UNTIL THESE SKILLS ARE MASTERED, DO NOT LET THE CHILD RIDE THE BIKE!
NOTE
If the rider does not fully understand the controls and demonstrate these skills, do not let
them ride. They can try again at a later date when they are ready. The riders must learn at
THEIR pace.
