4. Setup

Initial Assembly and Adjustment

1. Unfolding the Scooter:

   Locate the folding mechanism near the base of the handlebar stem. Release the locking lever and carefully unfold the scooter until it clicks into place. Ensure the mechanism is fully engaged and locked before use. Verify there is no play in the folding joint.

2. Adjusting Handlebar Height:

   The Oxelo Town 5 features a fixed handlebar for enhanced stability. Ensure the handlebar is securely attached to the stem and all bolts are tightened according to manufacturer specifications.
3. Checking Components:

   Before your first ride, and periodically thereafter, verify that all screws, bolts, and quick-release levers are tight and secure. Check the wheels for proper rotation and ensure the rear brake functions effectively. Any loose parts should be tightened immediately.

5. Operating

Riding Your Oxelo Town 5 Scooter

1. Starting:

   Place one foot firmly on the deck, preferably towards the front. Use your other foot to push off the ground, gaining initial momentum. Continue pushing until you reach a comfortable speed.
2. Riding Stance:

   Once moving, place both feet on the deck. You can position them one behind the other, or side-by-side if you find it more comfortable and stable. Maintain a balanced posture with slightly bent knees.

3. Steering:

   Steer the scooter by leaning gently in the desired direction and making subtle turns with the handlebars. Avoid sudden or sharp turns at high speeds.

4. Braking:

   To slow down or stop, apply pressure to the rear brake with your foot. Apply the brake gradually to avoid sudden stops, which can cause loss of balance. Practice braking in a safe, open area.
5. Folding for Transport:

   To fold the scooter, ensure you are stationary. Release the locking lever of the folding mechanism and carefully collapse the scooter. Secure it with the integrated carry strap for easy and convenient transport.

6. Maintenance

Care and Upkeep

• Cleaning: Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate moving parts, such as the folding mechanism, if necessary. Use a light, non-corrosive lubricant.
• Wheel Inspection: Regularly inspect the PU cast wheels for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace worn wheels to maintain optimal performance and safety.
• Bearing Care: ABEC 5 bearings are designed for durability. Keep them clean and free from dirt and moisture. If bearings become noisy or stiff, they may need cleaning or replacement.
• Brake Check: Ensure the rear brake is responsive and not excessively worn. Inspect the brake pad for wear and replace it if needed. Ensure the brake mechanism is clear of obstructions.
• Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
