rksa Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 A little video clip of my lad out playing today http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FBbIlqBDnYY Kinell..........your son looks great on the 16.0. Wish I was 7 again! I ordered one for my son, however, we're still waiting for a shipment of new OSETs here in Colorado. Was the speed setting dialed down at all?

lastplacebrad Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 A little video clip of my lad out playing today http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FBbIlqBDnYY Hey great stuff, had my boys out on theirs for the first time on saturday ( a 16" for the 5 yo and a 12" for the 3 yo) and they love em really cool took them to a big park and then Dalby on sunday and no one said a word of complaint !!, that wouldnt happen with minimotos would it!! Only got 2 hours out of the battery on the 16 tho but that was non-stop!! These things really do deserve to be a huge success you could run a trial anywhere! and my little guys absolutely LOVE EM!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Was the speed setting dialed down at all? Yes although it's hard to tell by how much - I would guess it's set somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of full speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad has ridden his 7 times now for 30-60 minutes at a time and the lights still show that it's fully charged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Dont know who is more excitied them or me!! I know exactly what you mean We've got a 16" on order which will hopefully be here for next weekend... +1. I thought my 3.5 year old might not take to it and my excitement would be short lived. But the opposite has happened - the bike has been here (Cape Town, South Africa) for three days and he can't stop riding it, waiting impatiently between charges. He can't stand up on it yet. Can there be a better "toy" bike for a kid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way on full speed!!, it would be way too fast on full chat at the mo'. it lasted the same time on saturday and sunday where as the 12.5 still had a load of charge left and this riding was on a flat grass field, do you think it is faulty?.

kinell Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) it lasted the same time on saturday and sunday where as the 12.5 still had a load of charge left and this riding was on a flat grass field, do you think it is faulty?. Are the wheels turning freely with no brakes binding? Are the batteries the same size on both bikes? If yes, maybe swap them over and see how long the bikes last... The first battery charge up on our bike was finished in 2-3 hours but folk say that the first charge is important on some types of batteries so I left ours on the trickle charge for 24 hours in total - maybe this is why ours is lasting so long? It might be worth a quick email to Ian to see what he thinks. PS It might be the pikey Yorkshire electric that you have Edited September 25, 2007 by Kinell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rksa Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Question for everyone......... Has anyone tried painting the plastic body a different color? If so, is there a particular method that works best.....i.e....sanding or priming first? I know there are plastic spray paints available on the market, however, I have noticed they don't work well on all plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Dad and lad at the park today, finally convinced Ryan that the full speed setting was only scary going down hill 3 little videos of him on youtube (used my mobile so not very good quality I'm afraid) Heading for an ASBO Hill climb, sat down and dabbing Hill climb, stood up and CLEAN! (my favourite...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had crashed into the wall but he sumped out on a rock which stopped him a bit too quickly... "Dad, I've hurt mi widgie" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
