kbtrials Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Looking to buy an electric bike for a 6 year old, just out of curiosity (and for spare parts excessibility where I live) - is the Gas Gas mini electric bikes an Oset or mecatecno OEM? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Oset is the OEM, and the mecatecno is a copy of oset, Im not sure about the GG ( I cant remember what they look like ) But either way Oset electric bikes have been on the market for around 7 years ( Longer than any other Manufacture of electric mini trial bikes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbtrials Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 A "copy" doesn't make it an oem, but I get what you mean. For parts sourcing it would be good for me to know. I believe there is already a thread for which bikes the best..... Anyone who can tell which bike the Gas Gas is based of? ( someone told me its not there own production so just assuming its either a meca or Oset) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Come to think of it I think I remember now, the gg is a mecatecno just re-badged ( please dont quote me on this, as I may be totally wrong ) ( dont want to upset anyone ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnoux Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) The Mecatecno is not a "copy" of an OSET it is a different manufacturer doing their take on a kid's electric trials bike. They have some differences, and improvements, over the older OSET design. The Gas Gas kid's electric bikes are EXACTLY the same as the Mecatecno's , but with GG branded, and coloured plastics and stickers. They are made for Gas Gas under license by Mecatecno. The only difference between these two kids bikes is cosmetic. Edited November 16, 2012 by arnoux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer T14 looks nothing like its smaller brothers, its almost like they were designed be 2 separate companies.
