The Inokim OXO scooter  has a luxurious ride. The rubber suspension does a great job of keeping the scooter under control and in firm contact with the ground. You can feel how it catches the weight of the scooter as it surges forward, balancing it in a controllable way over the front tire. 

That controlled feeling is why it’s tied for best suspension with the Minimotors Dualtron Eagle Pro. However, it bests the Eagle because the Inokim OXO’s solid build remains silent when riding, while the Eagle’s build moans and groans. 

Pairing that with the dual hydraulic brakes, it feels like you have all day to add and remove braking pressure to find the perfect balance point between braking too hard and skidding. 

However, here’s where the Inokim OXO scooter is heartbreakingly close to perfect. That throttle. 

The thumb throttle on the Inokim OXO doesn’t always respond the way you expect, and makes it nearly impossible to maintain any speed above 15 mph without surging. It has the most razor’s edge control we’ve experienced, but functions better if you let it do its thing, bobbing around a speed rather than holding a specific speed.

To access the P-settings menu, long-press the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to adjust the setting, and the power button to toggle through each feature. 

To unlock top speed, open the P-settings menu, then long-press all three buttons (plus, minus, and power). You’ll see P-setting 7, which is for tire diameter (Default: 10 for 10 in). 

Press all three buttons once more to access P-setting 8, which is the max speed limiter. Change the value from the default 15 (for 15 mph) to 40 (or whatever is the legal limit in your region). 

We set it to 40 because that’s how we roll, but we always ride safe and wear a (full-face) helmet. 

Although you can make the Inokim OXO electric scooter more compact, we wouldn’t necessarily call it portable. The folded dimensions are 48 in long by 23 in wide by 21 in tall, with a ground clearance of 4.5 in.

It unfolds and is ready in the upright position in 9 seconds in our timed test. It’s actually one of the best folding mechanisms we’ve seen. It folds down very easily and the stem locks to the fin so it stays compact, but it isn’t easy to lift. 

The blade stem and width of the Inokim OXO scooter make it awkward to carry alongside your body, even with one hand on the fin. 

We wouldn’t recommend using this as a last-mile commuter unless you don’t have to heave it in and out of a car trunk or up and down stairs. It should fit in most car trunks, but was a pretty tight fit into a Honda Accord.

The tapered handlebars look expensive and work well, although they’re angled away from the rider rather than toward. 

The flat-palm hand grips are secured near the stem, but are not secured on the opposite end. They can rotate while you’re riding, so don’t support your hand as well as fixed flat-palm grips. 

On the left handlebar, you have a bell (90 dB) and red button. When pressed, the red button puts the scooter in dual motor mode. When the button is popped out, you know you’re only using one motor (the rear). 

On the right handlebar, you have a minimal display (the same display used on the Inokim OX scooter and Inokim Light 2), with plus (+), minus (-) and power buttons, and a thumb throttle. Compared to the next-gen display on the Inokim Quick 4 Super, it looks a bit outdated.

Although small, it is not unsophisticated, as you can toggle through basic information by pressing the power button (once on) and access p-settings by long-pressing the buttons.

The hydraulic brake master cylinders look high end, and all of the cables in the cockpit are neatly wrapped. It’s a very complete, clean cockpit design.

The taillight, however, is only on the right side of the deck. This is a poor location for a brake signal on a vehicle ridden in the United States, as cars will generally be traveling to your left.

The Inokim OXO electric scooter has low-mounted auto-sensing lights, including headlights that emit from the front of the deck and a taillight at the rear right corner. 

The default ambient light response is set fairly low. We recommend increasing the sensitivity, so they turn on in dim rather than dark environments. 

Testing the OXO’s light in the dark, we discovered that it throws a triangular pattern in front of you, which helps you see alongside and ahead.

For riding a scooter at night, we recommend adding more lights, including a high-mounted headlight for better visibility and another light to attach to the back of your helmet or backpack. 

The 10.0 in pneumatic tires are fairly standard, but the Inokim design provides an ingenious convenience. The Inokim OXO scooter does not come with split rims or pre-slimed tires, but the single-sided swingarms allow you to more easily and quickly change a flat. 

Many scooters have double-sided swingarms that you have to disassemble before getting to the wheel, which you sometimes have to remove before getting to the tire.

On the Inokim OXO, pull the valve stem out of the rim (and detach the fender for easier maneuvering), and then you can easily shimmy the tire and inner tube off of the wheel. 

The deck is made of hard plastic, with a design reminiscent of river rocks. That would be appropriate, as river rocks are slippery, as is this deck. 

There is plenty of standing room, as the deck measures 20.0 in long by 7.3 in wide.

The OXO has a fin at the rear of the deck that’s not exactly a step, it’s not a fender, and it’s definitely not a handle. It does encase the latch for locking the stem to the deck, and reminds us a little of a spoiler.   

We really hate hard plastic decks, as they provide the least traction between your shoes and the scooter compared to rubberized and griptape covered decks. Griptape provides the best, well, grip. 

We found a 33 ft roll of 4-in wide griptape for $15 on Amazon. Cut two 40-in strips of griptape and attach to the deck, letting it taper down the edges of the deck, and trimming off any excess. 

Since you’re only using about 7 ft of the roll, you can use the rest of the griptape on any other surface in need of traction.

Inokim is masterful with build, implementing single-sided swingarms, stylish wheels, and an effective stem folding mechanism with the OXO. It’s absolutely solid but less like a hammer and more like a well-balanced sword. The Inokim OXO swooshes through the air, gliding over the pavement like a work of electric art. 

When inspecting the Inokim OXO electric scooter, you notice few exposed bolts, cables, and wonky bits. Where other scooters have sharp juts and unmatched seams, the Inokim OXO has sleek curvatures and tapered edges. The matte black frame with contrasting orange hand grips, swingarms, and branding give the OXO street-worthy appeal. It looks just as good rolling through urban jungles as it does zipping between skyscrapers. 

The charging port is in a great location for easy access, and has a rubberized port cover. Keeping moisture at bay is key, as the Inokim OXO scooter does not come with an IP rating. 

The folding mechanism on the Inokim OXO electric scooter is best in class. The design is stellar and super solid, with a red lever that secures the stem in the upright position, and a rubber collar that wraps around the stem for extra security.

To release the stem from the upright position, unhook the rubber collar and pull the red lever downward toward the deck. It will unlatch, and you can easily rotate the stem down to the deck to lock in place.

Although this design may not seem world-rocking, most performance-level scooters have the ubiquitous collar stem folding design, featuring a metal collar with two clamps that you have to painstakingly adjust to get just right. Not only are they a pain to secure, they can allow annoying stem wobble to wiggle in. 

Here’s a breakdown of what’s available:

1. 1. Fast Chargers: To minimize charging downtime .
   2. Electric Scooter Locks: Essential for providing that added assurance against potential theft.
   3. Protective Gears: Helmets, knee pads, elbow guards, and more
   4. Aftermarket Lights: A worthy upgrade for night rides, ensuring optimum visibility and safety.
   5. Phone Holders: For hands-free access to apps and GPS
   6. Alarm Systems: An added layer of security against unwanted tampering and potential theft.
   7. Scooter Bags: Specially designed for the INOKIM OXO frame, these can protect your scooter or carry personal belongings.
