3. Setup and Assembly
The Oxelo TWEESTY Scooter comes partially assembled. Follow these steps to prepare it for use:
- Unfolding the Scooter:
Carefully remove the scooter from its packaging. Locate the folding mechanism, typically near the base of the handlebar stem. Release the latch or lever and unfold the main frame until it locks securely into the riding position. Ensure the footboards are fully extended.

- Attaching/Adjusting the Handlebar:
Insert the T-shaped handlebar into the stem. Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable position, typically around hip level when standing on the scooter. Secure the handlebar at the desired height using the quick-release clamp or locking pin. Ensure it is firmly in place and does not wobble.

- Final Checks:
Before riding, double-check all connections. Ensure the wheels spin freely, the brake functions correctly, and there are no loose parts.
4. Operating Instructions
The Oxelo TWEESTY Scooter is designed for a unique riding experience.
- Starting:
Place one foot on each footboard. Push off with one foot to gain initial momentum.
- Propulsion (Wiggle Motion):
To move forward, shift your weight from side to side, creating a "wiggle" motion with your legs and hips. This motion will propel the scooter forward without needing to push off the ground.

- Steering:
Steer by leaning your body in the desired direction and gently turning the handlebar.
- Braking:
To slow down or stop, apply pressure to the rear brake pedal, typically located above the rear wheel. Apply gradually to avoid sudden stops.

- Bolts and Fasteners: Regularly check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to prevent loosening during use.
- Wheels: Inspect wheels for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace worn wheels promptly. Ensure bearings are clean and spin freely.
- Brake System: Check the brake for proper function and wear. Adjust or replace brake components as needed.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
