Setup and Assembly
The Oxelo B1 Kids Scooter Frame is designed for minimal assembly. This product is the frame only; ensure you have the compatible Oxelo B1 scooter deck (footboard) for complete assembly.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for potential future transport or storage.
- Handlebar Installation: Insert the T-bar handlebar into the steering column until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Attaching the Deck: Follow the instructions provided with your Oxelo B1 scooter deck to securely attach it to the frame base. Ensure all connection points are firm and stable.
- Handlebar Height Adjustment:
- Locate the quick-release clamp on the steering column.
- Open the clamp.
- Adjust the handlebar to one of the three available height positions suitable for the child's height (between 80cm and 115cm). The handlebar should be roughly at hip height when the child is standing on the scooter.
- Close the clamp firmly to secure the handlebar in place. Test its stability before riding.
- Pre-Ride Check: Before the first ride, and before every subsequent ride, perform a thorough check:
- Ensure the handlebar is securely locked at the desired height.
- Check that all wheels spin freely and are securely attached.
- Verify the rear brake functions correctly.
- Inspect the frame and deck for any cracks, damage, or loose parts.
Operating Instructions
The Oxelo B1 scooter is designed for intuitive use, promoting balance and coordination.
- Starting: Place one foot on the scooter deck. Use the other foot to push off the ground.
- Steering: The Oxelo B1 uses a lean-to-steer mechanism. To turn, lean your body in the desired direction. This helps develop balance and motor skills.
- Braking: To slow down or stop, place your foot on the rear brake pedal located above the rear wheel. Apply gentle pressure to gradually reduce speed.
- Riding Posture: Encourage the child to stand upright with a slight bend in the knees, looking forward.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your Oxelo B1 scooter.
- Cleaning: Wipe the scooter with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not hose down or immerse in water.
- Wheel and Bearing Inspection: Regularly check the wheels for wear and tear. Replace worn wheels promptly. Ensure bearings are clean and spin freely. If they become noisy or stiff, they may need cleaning or replacement.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and clamps to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
- Brake Check: Ensure the rear brake is functioning effectively. The brake pad should make full contact with the wheel.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
