How to choose?
A scooter should be selected solely according to your needs. It is important where and on what surface the movement is planned. The city scooter is suitable for those who are just going for a walk or commute to work. The folding mechanism will come in handy if you still have to enter city transport. Easyfold models can be folded up and carried away.

It is worth noting that you can ride the budget version on flat asphalt. For bumpy roads, cushioned models are worth looking at.
There are other selection criteria.
- Children's scooters must be matched by age.
- Oxelo offers models in a variety of designs. Pure white vehicles are impractical for stunts, but they look beautiful. The black and pink scooter is perfect for a child. Models with blue shades are usually taken for boys. However, the choice of color is purely individual.
- Stunt models are intended for adults and require riding on a perfect level surface. Otherwise, you may fall and be seriously injured. Such transport is not suitable for children, even under the supervision of parents.
- The steering wheel adjustment function is especially relevant in children's models. Transport can be used for several years while the child is growing.
- For children and city scooters, a foot brake is often sufficient. The manual system allows you to quickly stop at a higher speed.

Nuances of operation
Oxelo scooters have a solid and reliable construction, good folding and unfolding mechanisms. Each model has instructions, which describe the main nuances of use. Simple tips will help you extend the life of your vehicle and keep yourself safe.
- Store the scooter in a dry place out of direct sunlight. Otherwise, the aluminum parts will start to deteriorate.
- Bearings and wheels wear out during operation and should be inspected regularly for damage. Parts are replaced if necessary. It is dangerous to ride a scooter with defects.
- It is important to use the scooter only for the activity for which it is intended. If you do tricks on an urban model, it will quickly fail.
- Folding and assembling the scooter is quite simple. There is a diagram with a hint on the frame. The lever on the left must be lowered, then move the steering wheel away from you and pull it towards you.
- An adult scooter can be supplemented with a stand for a child weighing up to 25 kg. You need to install a footrest and adjust the height of the handlebars so that your baby's face is below him.
- Be sure to check the handbrake for proper operation before riding. It is especially important when it comes to children's models. The part can be replaced if necessary.
