Introducing the little ones to the world of two wheels is easily one of the most exciting parts of being a motorcycle enthusiast. Nowadays, children have it easier, as several manufacturers design and develop bikes specifically to help kids learn to ride much more effectively. The latest innovation comes from Oset Bikes, a British company specializing in electric off-road bikes that was recently acquired by Triumph.
Oset Bikes has introduced a pair of electric off-road bikes that are characterized by their versatility. The TXP-20 and TXP-24, with TXP standing for Trials, Xplore, and Play, can be configured to be trial bikes and traditional enduro or trail bikes. The way to do this is through an interchangeable seat. The Trials seat is low, providing users with ample legroom to shift their weight. Meanwhile, the Xplore seat is higher, similar to a traditional off-road bike seat, ideal for longer rides while exploring trails.
As for performance, the TXP 2024 models use a newly developed electric motor. According to Oset, the new motor provides more power and torque, with the TXP-20 delivering 1,400 watts of power and the TXP-24 producing 1,600 watts. The bikes have a lithium battery that provides up to four hours of autonomy under normal conditions. Similarly, it only takes 90 minutes to charge them up to 90%.
Being designed for kids, needless to say, the new Oset TXP range includes safety features such as parental controls regarding speed, power, and response. The bikes also have fully adjustable pneumatic suspension, allowing precise suspension tuning for young riders. Oset states that the TXP-20 is intended for children aged between seven and 10 years old and has a weight limit of 132 kg. Meanwhile, the TXP-24 is aimed at pre-teens and has a weight limit of 198.4 kg.
