| Micro Black Scooter | Xootr MG | OXELO Town 9 | |
| Our Score | 7.7 out of 10 | 8.4 out of 10 | 8.9 out of 10 |
| Our Verdict | The Micro Black Scooter is one of the most popular models on the streets. It’s not hard to see why as it’s well built, dependable and durable. It offers a comfortable ride, while compromising slightly in terms of speed. Notably, it is favored by parents of kids with the Micro brand of scooters. The lower deck allows easy kicking without the need to bend the resting foot excessively. Maintenance is easy with readily available replaceable parts from a reputable and trusted brand. Main gripe seems to be the folding mechanism that requires more time and effort than other scooters to fold. Depending on your needs, this and the slightly high pricing could be easily overlooked, given the credible performance of this all rounder. Look out for the electric version coming in 2016! | Xootr is the fastest scooter among the 3 in terms of distance covered per kick. It also offers an adjustable handle bar for users of different heights. The Xootr Kick Scooter is unsuitable for rough terrain and more for city usage on clean cement pavement.Some yearly maintenance needs to be made after excessive usage (lubricating oil on pin-lock area, handle bar replacement), other than that it is sturdily built and convenient to use.Xootr also stands out for its style factor. | The Oxelo Town 9 is an up and coming kick scooter for adults. To collapse the scooter for storage or to convert it to trolley mode, you’ll need to get used to it’s unique closing mechanism, which may be challenging if you’re a newbie. It gets better with practice and you’ll be rewarded with it’s fast transitional application. Offering both front and rear brakes, it provides you with a sturdy, fun and safe ride. Cleverly built with a sleek, ultra-modern and chic design that utilizes colors such as black, white and red, it’s a head-turner for all the right reasons. |
