2016 OSET 12.5 RACING FULL TEST P100 We take the Oset 12.5 Racing bike everywhere and have no problems hauling it around in a regular car since there is no gas to spill and it can be laid on its side in the trunk. The public's perception of electric anything is so open that we had no qualms about riding the bike on bike paths, in public parks, on sidewalks and in any open field. Since it makes no real noise and is "cute," we rode it in places that a gas- powered bike would've lasted two-minutes before the cops showed up. Some might think the retail price is a bit steep at $1199 for the 12.5 Eco and $1499 for the 12.5 Racing, but there isn't any other cost involved, unless you wear out the tires. The resale val- ue appears to be good, too, so when kids out grow out of them, the initial cost is a lot easier to swallow.
