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. CN
