+VIDEO OSET Bikes, a subsidiary of Triumph Motorcycles, has launched its new TXP range of electric off-road motorcycles.
‘TXP’ stands for Trials, Xplore and Play, and the all-new TXP models offer a significant advance in battery and motor technology. Plus, a real surprise, TXP bikes include two seat options.
Available in 20 and 24 sizes, the bikes are a complete, ground-up redesign over the existing models. Key improvements across the range include:
- Dual seat option offers a choice of bike configurations, extending the appeal and delivering a bike that suits a wider range of riding environments.
- Double the power and increased torque provided by the all-new brushless motor.
- Intuitive and ultra-smooth power delivery from bespoke motor controller and software strategy.
- Latest technology lithium battery in a sealed unit provides up to 4 hours runtime in normal use and rapid recharge times from only 90 minutes to 90%.
- All-new optimised chassis with fully adjustable air suspension enables rapid personalisation for a range of riding abilities and sizes.
A new keypad control centre, which includes a parental lock function, offers easy, push-button adjustability of speed, power and throttle response limits, putting safety of young riders at the heart of the bike’s technology. At the lowest settings, the bike will move at walking pace, to safeguard novice riders.
For more experienced riders, with the limits dialled up, the bikes transform into high-power, competition winning machines.
Ian Smith, founder and CEO of OSET Bikes, said, “You cannot underestimate the work that has gone into these bikes. We have analysed every single component to ensure we reach the highest standards of excellence possible with today’s technology.
“From frame to forks and battery to brakes we have researched and developed every inch of the bikes and are delighted to announce what really is a new generation in electric, off-road bikes.
“OSET Bikes is all about getting kids on motorcycles and having fun, whether they choose to compete in trials, to explore or simply to play.
“We understand that a traditional trials bike without a seat can feel like an alien concept, so we offer two entry points. The same bike will suit a back garden rider or a person competing at the highest level of trials competition. Simply dial it up or down and change the seat or trials unit to suit ability and adventure.”
The TXP-20 is aimed primarily at children aged seven to nine and offers an increase in battery capacity over its former model. New and improved magnetic lanyard, combined with an impact rubber chin protector and new, ball-ended brake levers ensure this bike is competition ready out of the box.
The TXP-24 is aimed at pre-teens, teens, and adults. Every element of this bike has been improved over the old model, from 50% more battery capacity, to double the power, to better handling and improved air suspension. In competition terms, the bike is capable of competing with 80cc petrol equivalent trials bikes.
Ian added, “Ten years ago we were responsible for dominating the British Youth Championship, resulting in combustion bikes simply disappearing from 50cc class youth competition. The TXP models take that heritage and delivers a complete game changer again!”
Bikes will be available from mid-December in the UK via OSET’s retail network which can be found at www.osetbikes.com/dealers and available globally from Q1 in 2024.
