RIDE REVIEW I 2024 OSET TXP-24 ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE
ment, the front feels planted enough to provide confidence. Like other trials bikes, the
OSET TXP is designed for standing up on the pegs to ride properly, and the seat is more
for a rest when connecting trails or taking a break between riding sessions.
As is common on most electric motorcycles, the rear brake is hand-operated via a
lever on the left side of the handlebars where the clutch lever would normally be on a
gas-powered bike. For some people, that takes a little while to get used to, and some
people find themselves looking for the rear brake with their right foot. But the tradeoff is
that not using your feet to shift or apply the rear brake allows you to focus on weighting
the footpegs for balance and traction. The brakes, with relatively small 7.87-inch front
and 7.08-inch rear rotors, are powerful and predictable due to how lightweight the bike is.
We took on
some incredibly
difficult trails
on the OSET
and found it
easier to ride
than a traditional
motorcycle or
even a traditional
gas-powered
trials bike for the
hard stuff.
