Chris Northover: Exploring the Rugged Countryside on an OSET 24.0

As a child Chris Northover loved riding his motorcycle, the sound of an engine still sends a shiver down his spine. But Chris has found a new love, the OSET 24.0.
The bike is lightweight, tough and with enough power to get you up the side of a mountain, it’s fun pure and simple. From whistling through a cave, to exploring the countryside you’re greeted with a smile by everyone you come across, often followed by a list of excited questions about the bike itself.

Yes. It seems like it's exactly that.... It's quite sad really.

Exactly what i was thinking. Sad, pathetic people

I have nothing against this bike but the people who gave a thumbs down probably DO love the world as it is. Hence the thumbs down. You may be the one looking at it backwards.

When we watched your video over one year ago it inspired me to buy an Oset for my son and myself to play on. It has proven to be an amazing purchase, helped us become more capable on both the Oset and dirt bikes, along with creating our on KZbin channel, showing our adventures as a father and son, enjoying being out in the fresh air having fun.

[@SensiVybz]

Looking at doing the same, my lad rides a electric dirt bike atm but its just a starter 500w thing, how have you found days out? riding time? do you run with spare batteries for full days? Thinking of a oset 24 for myself and a 16 for my son whos 6

[@christieclanadventures6828]

@@SensiVybz we just use the one battery and the two to three hours seems to be enough for what we do. Im you are using like a mountain bike and flat out, then one hour max.

Brilliant, that battery pickup at the local store. Nice nod to electric as a fuel even though I imagine we will be plugging in versus swapping batteries.

[@SensiVybz]

NIO have created a battery swap system and have it wideley used in china and now moving to europe, quick switch batterys is the only way we will go i reckon

[@D0li0]

@@SensiVybz I am aware, it's neat of them to have done so. But there are trade offs to all options. Frankly, just having a higher capacity could increase the charge rate enough for most use cases on long road trips. The alternative of having swap stations all along all road trip paths is a ton of capital cost versus DCFC at 200++kW. But doing the same for a bike with a battery you can carry and leave an extra at the local friendly general store is brilliant.

I should have known this was going to be a commercial. Nothing against an electric bike but I would say most here in the US don't look at motorcycles as a primary source of pollution. Many enthusiasts won't be so willing to give up the sounds and smells as the guy in this video. Land owners dislike the erosion and possible damage to their land more than pollution and the sounds of a bike(s) a mile from their house. Lol you would have startled those women you rode up on - at least with traditional bike they'd have heard you coming.
