OXELO Town 7XL vs OXELO Town 9EF scooters - DECATHLON

Check out our coparitive test of the two town scooter models by Oxelo, Decatlon. Which one do you find better and why? Tell us in the comments below!
The Oxelo 9 EF (easyfold) town scooter is more expensive and has been gaining popularity due to its cool design and the super fast "easy fold" system. The Oxelo Town 7XL is perhaps not that fancy but has a sturdy contruction, surpisingly good double suspension system and a useful little stand on the side. When compared the 9EF and 7XL seem to be almost equally good.

was going to buy the 9 but the 7 looks more compact and lighter. good video

[@pleekfast]

Recently bought the 9ef v2, like the ef 7 it has rear suspension. A much easier fold at the handles, a side stand and a different adjustment for hight. Hope to find pneumatic tires that fit to help with the constant click clack on paving slabs. Great video thanks.

[@sinjary]

That's what i wanted to ask , so the suspension system isn't enough for reducing vibration?? Is it annoying for long rides?? Do you think scooters with air wheels would be more comfortable?? Please your answer would help alot

[@kenshiro4966]

I have 13 years and I think 7xl is better tan 9ef, because its more comfortable, faster and cheaper.

[@xxgachaveraxx1650]

You're right

[@Squater1986]

and lighter in weight

[@yvonnez1916]

And lighter than 9👍

[@nizam_mr]

I have the earlier generation of Town7XL which does not come with handlebar brake and kickstand, and i its the same generation as the 9EF here (which is also the 1st gen). The Town7XL here is a newer generation, thus its why its now equipped with the brake+stand. So if anyone going to buy Town7XL, just make sure which version you are getting

[@fisherman7633]

I really enjoyed watching. Thanks. Very informative. Appreciate the Lady's efforts to demonstrate the folding & unfolding of the two scooters. And there's a test ride as well. LIKED & SUBSCRIBED. God Bless.

[@viobekam]

Thanks for the genuine review. Both look very fun scooters.

[@Adjointt]

Very nice video :) Great job ! I was told that even if (for both) the limit is 100 kgr, a person up to 120 kgr can use it without problem either. What do you think ? Most of the scooters that I find can carry up to 100 kgr

[@skkayman]

9EF has antivibration dampeners instead of visible suspension so it is comparable to 7XL. Also, you can halffold 9EF and use it as selfstand. So the only difference is price and folding mechanism..

[@markkusalonen2939]

Yes, as owner of 9EF I think it's real pity the halffold selfstanding option was not presented - and the very novel option to lock 9EF with a padlock to a handrail/post, something I do frequently. In 2019 new version with improved suspension will be released according Decathlon.fr customer feedback reply.

[@SteveKillman]

Thanks for the vids. Gonna buy a 7XL.

[@trekkerfox7860]

Good choice :)

[@JohnMHammer]

At about 1:38 you say that both scooters have front brakes. It looks like the cables from the handlebar levers are routed to the rear brake.

[@Miss.GreenQueen]

i think she is trying to say : brakes on the front of the scooter 😉

[@mttpsg00]

is that hand brake efficient enough in traffic ? thanks

[@denyanchen6243]

was on the fence about town 9 , given it's 80% pricier than 7xl with the same wheel , I expect they provide same speed for me so I may end up buying town 7xl !

[@DemxnTheyThem]

Which did you find more comfortable to ride, and would you say the Town 9 is worth its increased price?

[@nuckaroz]

but the 9ef does have a kickstand! it just works differently...it is not a "kickstand" per se but it can be parked without having to fold it

[@j4zzx297]

Do you still use both of these? And how have they held up long term? Has anything broken or needed replacing?

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

My Oxelo town 9 is about 5 years old, used frequently and still works great 👍 the wheels are worn down and brake not as good now but could be repaired 😊

[@jamesg3685]

Very good review Thank you for the info And doing the review in english A bit effort but i love the accent

[@giurgindemilan]

Thanks for the video; I have bought a town 9ef and it has a rear brake only, commanded by the front lever and by pressing the rear mudguard. The 9 has a fancy system (I prefer it as it doesn't seem possible to close it accidentally) to fold it but lacks a mini side stand and rear suspension that I guess does something good in terms of grip... wonder why, considering it is more expensive. The 9ef has a design defect for the shoulder strap: if it passes between the designed hooks and under the foot folding area, it will at some point lock the steering and I avoid having it mounted.

[@trekkerfox7860]

Thanks so much for your comment! We have very similar observations :) Actually, when comparing 7XL and 9EF, we decided that the cheeper model of 7XL is a better one ;) The lack of the mini side stand and the problem with the shoulder strap can be very annoying! Among our TrekkerFox team member we own privatelly both models, and having used them for some months we can say that the 7XL is simply a better choice!

[@adamjed7]

Is the extrafolding system of the 9 model not too useful? I think it would be, as having to lean down every time you want to fold the 7 model could be annoying. Anyway, from the other comments I see that 7 is quieter. Probably it better absorbs uneven terrain, too, right?

[@ioanc2]

Does Oxelo 9 have a lower platform height than Oxelo 7? Does this mean that it's easier to push, so in average you'll ride faster with it (you'll get less tired)?

[@kristofmarosi4375]

Absolutely no, the 7 is lighter, and the rear suspension allows you to turn at a much higher speed, in addition it doesn't have that plastic cover in the front tyre, which also offers an easier turning(especially in high speed turns, the front stays stable) Hope it helped

[@barrerastowing2791]

Thank you so much give us a good idea which one to buy

[@jamesaiken_]

If you had to choose, what's better and which model would you buy?

[@trekkerfox7860]

I would choose the 7 XL model because of double suspension and more comfortable deck :)

[@KarlosEPM]

Best comment and reply. Happy scooting!

[@greatgreengreen]

Did you actually feel the weight differences between town 7 & 9? I once had a chance to try town9 and it was way to heavy for me so I was thinking i could try the 7...

[@trekkerfox7860]

Yes, the 7 XL is lighter, according to the producer 9 EF weights 7.4 kg and 7 xl weights 5.6 kg

[@owenchuarbx]

I've tried the newer 9EF V2 and it's great. The only downside is the expensive price tag.

[@smajl2]

Yeah.. I spent like one hour in shop try to justify the price to myself... In the end I took it and after first hour of riding it I dont regret... Let's see how it will last :)

[@sinjary]

@@smajl2 do you think the suspension is good enough to absorb annoying vibrations? Is it comfortable to ride on paving slabs??

[@b3dsign]

I saw in another video that you have to use a semi folded position to stand... not a rock...

[@charliecowan9973]

Wish I'd seen these before I bought a razor A6, which is about as bare bones as they come and almost twice as heavy. I don't mind overall; fewer moving parts means less things can give out. But when it does go I'll have to look into these

[@Maria-up2yv]

thank you for this helpful interesting n charming video :)

[@TheMarioManiac]

A question that hadn’t been asked much is the clearance between the deck and the ground. How much is it on both scooters?

[@FluffyFuwa]

You can see that the 9 model is nearer to the ground so it doesn't have a stand and she's using a stone to make it stand up

[@wacheza]

I believe the 9 is meant to have better bearings vs the 7- does this translate in use? Do you notice the 9 is faster/smoother than the 7?

[@fin_jan]

wacheza - a don't know what they come with, but bearings are an easy upgrade. So don't let it influence your purchase decision

[@wacheza]

Good shout. And indeed I went for the 7- as i figured I wouldn’t appreciate the lightness more than the easy fold ! Working out great so far - cut my commute by 10-15 minutes each way! Great scooter ! And thanks again for the video review !

[@laurastutt3442]

Hi there, I saw you've already bought, but for anyone else considering, I went to decathlon today to try out the town 7 that I was intending to buy. I had a go on the 9ef just for fun and found it to be faster, much steadier, overall a smoother ride. I felt like I might wobble off when turning on the 7, as there is some play in the join between the post and the deck by the front wheel. The 9ef is rock solid, so I went for that in the end.

[@Bruvvers_by_Adamkhalil]

Thanks for the video!

It's true. In fact, I'm off to watch it again 😋

[@ahmadsaleh9763]

I would like to know a bit more about hand brake especially in 7XL model. How good it is, is it efficient? I've read opinions that is pointless and very week.

I actually use the hand brake often and it is ok for me, at least it works in my scooter.

[@liepaite666]

Thanks for a video. I am interesting about scooter noice. When you go on a bad road, the scooter does not spark a lot of sound?

[@giurgindemilan]

town 9 isn't too bad but neither it is silent. Maybe with inflateable tires like the m365 but then puntctures are round the corner

[@trekkerfox7860]

It's not too loud, but it really depends on the kind of road you riding ;) When you but at Decathlon's you can take the scooter for a trial, only inside the store though and obviously, driving it inside will be very smooth and silent ;)

[@cablegi]

Trekker Fox on berlin sidewalks the behind brake makes a lot of rattling noise.

[@p2kart]

I have the older generation of the Town 7 XL, and I find it much quieter than my new Town 9 EF. On smooth pavement there is no difference, but when you ride on sidewalks with lines across, all you hear on the town 9 is clack clack, clack clack... its quite annoying.

It is recommendation only, you can ride 200km if you want and are fit enough. But with bigger scooter, inflatable wheels, it easier to ride 5km then with this one. Also, with very small plastic wheels without suspension, you hate the scooter after 1km.
