OSET Bikes are designed in America, and imported by OSET Australia.

Our philosophy in importing OSET bikes was this...

There are a lot of problems with the traditional approach to bikes for kids. By using petrol, you immediately severely limit the locations the bikes can be ridden. Petrol-driven bikes are loud in any scenario outside of designated riding areas. Unless you’re one of the lucky few, the backyard is out of the question. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a riding area outside your back door (away from any neighbours), the effort involved in having your child ride is often too much. OSET’s on the other hand, make virtually no noise, so definitely CAN be used in the backyard. The neighbours will be very impressed!

From experience we know that taking a young kid riding on a petrol bike is a major chore. First, there’s transport to the riding area. Next up is prepping the bike, filling with fuel etc. Then, the parent usually has to start the bike. The child then rides around in some big circles, but stalls or falls off in the spot furthest away. The kid then needs help to pick the bike up, restart it etc. Hopefully the rider has escaped being burned by the exhaust and hasn’t had fuel spill out onto them.

As well as all this, petrol bikes are really way too heavy. It’s a losing battle for the kids. A 4 or 5 year old weighing 20kg’s on a 45kg+ bike is a bad ratio. This doesn’t get much better until the child reaches their late teens. The kids get bigger, but the bikes get bigger and heavier too. A 30kg 7-year old might be on a 55kg bike. There is really no way the child can learn correct technique on these bikes.

With OSET’s, the Trials bike based design has many advantages when kids are developing their riding skills. They get to sit down at a nice low height to begin with, then as they get better they stand up and begin to learn all about weighting the pegs, body positioning and so on. Kids can really learn proper techniques on these bikes.

OSET’s are a unique bike product, and one we feel will suit the Australian market perfectly.
