What safety precautions should you take with the MID 7 scooter?
Like with skateboarding and skating, you should wear protective equipment (helmet, knee pads and elbow pads) to stay safe when scootering. We also recommend checking your scooter before and after each ride to ensure that there is no abnormal play and no cracks or sharp edges. The wheels and bearings are wearing parts. Remember to check them and change them if necessary.

Who is the MID 7 scooter designed for?
For anyone between about 1.45 and 1.85 m tall. That means almost everyone! The secret behind the MID 7 is its versatility: it's fully kitted out and you can change the height. Whether you're doing small journeys around town or family rides, this Decathlon scooter will take you wherever you want to go on average three times faster than walking.
Is the scooter practical for using in town?
Yes, it is. This Oxelo scooter folds up (folded dimensions: 90cm) and the height is easy to adjust. And its strap means you can easily carry it on your shoulder if needed.
Its large wheels (175mm) mean that obstacles such as kerbs won't stand in its way, while its mudguards (front and rear) protect you from splashes in the rain.
What kind of journey can the MID 7 scooter be used for?
The MID 7 has been designed for journeys of up to 2 km. For longer journeys, you'll want a scooter with more features such as bigger wheels.
In terms of the maximum load, it can be used by anyone weighing up to 100kg.
Will my trousers get muddy/wet from splashes in wet weather?
Not exactly, a rear mudguard protects against splashes in wet weather.
How are our products tested?
All of our scooters have been lab tested. These tests check compliance with the European standards for scooters, as well as looking for wear. For example, one of our tests involves a machine folding the scooter 10,000 times to check its folding system.
As well as lab tests we do field tests - some measured and others based on the testers' opinions - to really put the product through its paces. The result is a tested, proven product.
