Micro scooters in multi colours

For youngsters who are too young to ride a bike to school, a scooter is a good mode of transport, and the Mini Micro Scooter is now available in new limited edition colours.

The green, yellow and red Mini Micro Scooters will be available exclusively in the UK, from the end of July.  

As well as the scooters, you can also buy handle grips, decks and brakes in the new colours - allowing kids to pimp their ride to their own colourful specification.

The Mini Micro Scooter's high quality Swiss design makes scooting fun and easy for youngsters - its three-wheel construction (two in front) and a low-to-the-ground flexible footboard allowing maximum control and stability. The unique lean-and-steer design enables kids to use their body weight to effortlessly guide their direction and enjoy a smooth ‘skateboard like’ ride. The scooter is lightweight to carry and easy to store.

Mini Micro Scooters are distributed in the UK by mums Anna Gibson and Philippa Gogarty, who signed a deal with the Swiss manufacturers of the original scooter they bought. The pair worked with Micro Mobility Systems AG, the Swiss company that invented the Mini Kickboard Scooter, to become the distributors in the UK.  Based on the huge success of the Scooter in the UK they are currently expanding the company around the world in countries including The United States, South Africa, Holland and Southern Ireland.

The new limited edition colours are available exclusively at www.micro-scooters.co.uk, costing £54.95.

Recent review on Mummytips

Maxi Fun with the new Micro Scooter

I had been wanting a new scooter for ages. I do have one but it was my big brothers when he was little and it was getting a bit old. I also had a bit of an accident on it recently when we both went opposite ways but met on the road. Owch.....

 
Then one day a couple of weeks ago there was a knock on our door and the delivery man left a big box, that I thought was for mummy because she gets all of the good post. But no - it was for me! I hurriedly opened the box to find that there was a brand new scooter inside.

 
The scooter is the new Maxi Micro. FunnyGirl has one of the smaller versions and she has played with it for at least a couple of years. This new scooter is for children aged 5+, so perfect for me.

 
I was eager to get outside and onto my new scooter but dad pointed out that I was still wearing my PJ's! I raced upstairs and got dressed in super quick time.

 
When I came back downstairs I dug to the bottom of the box and I found another handle. This one is like a stick rather than a normal handle. I think that it's like a skateboard with handle.

 
So I think that I will let the pictures do the talking - here is the test in action.

 

 

It all started well - nice sunny day, I'm looking cool.

What's on 4 Little Ones

Bike and Scooter Accessories from Micro Scooters reviewed by Sam from Hampshire in September 2009

"I love this brilliant but affordable "extras" for bikes or scooters.  My fave is the Breo Roam watch which is like a rubber bracelet with a watch in it.  According to the blurb it's made of Tourmaline which is supposed to make you calm, can't say I can report that but Alice didn't get a look in and now Mummy is wearing the pink Breo!  They come in 25 colours and are only £9.99 so a cool gift for children and Mummys!  Alice has got the BBB Quick Release Bell, Frog light by knog and the red coloured brake to replace the old one on her mini micro scooter!  And she'll loving whizzing around with the light on and bell going.  But seriously, these will be make me feel a bit happier if she is using her scooter on the path on the greyer days of autumn and winter."  All these items available from www.micro-scooters.co.uk.

"The scooter needed almost no assembly, it comes in just 2 parts which firmly & easily connected.  It is bright red which we especially liked as it would make the scooter suitable for a girl or boy. We tried the scooter initially in the garden on our slab patio & paths as we were unsure how easy it would be. ‘Daddy I don't need lessons!’ from our 3-year old soon  put us in our place.   The double wheels at the front make it much more stable than the scooters at playgroup with traditional 1front/2back wheels.  We took the scooter to the park which has smooth tarmac paths and the speed built up easily within 20 minutes of practise. The steering is unusual as you lean to the side rather than turning the handlebars - this I think will come with more use as we are straight-line only at the moment, but I think this means the scooter will grow with our son and be a great addition to our transport options - for the trip to playgroup in September, as it is lightweight enough for mum to carry home. Loved the super bright colour too."

Mini Micro-Scooters : Making Exercise Fun!

The Mini Micro Scooter is the UK’s number one selling scooter for kids aged 3-5 years, earning the coveted title of the coolest form of transport for young children on three wheels!

Micro Scooters Ltd was created by Anna Gibson and Philippa Gogarty who bought the Mini Micro Scooter for their children and couldn’t believe how it changed their lives for the better. Passionate about the product, the pair worked with Micro Mobility Systems AG, the Swiss company that invented the Mini Kickboard Scooter, to become UK-based distributors.  Recognising the huge success of the Scooter in the UK ,they are currently expanding the company around the world to the United States, South Africa, Holland and Eire.

Scooting is fun and easy for youngsters who love the independence a Mini Micro Scooter gives them.  Its Swiss Design (3-wheel construction of two in front) and a low-to-the-ground flexible footboard, allows maximum control and stability.  With a unique lean-and-steer design, the child has to use their body weight to effortlessly guide their direction – a real sense of achievement as balance and coordination is everything.

Just in time for the “Scoot To School” campaign this coming September, the company has introduced new limited-edition yellow, green and red scooters, to the exisiting pink and blue. And the new colours won’t be reserved for those buying from the  limited edition range. Micro Scooters Ltd will also be selling red, green and yellow handle grips, decks and brakes as separates giving existing owners the chance to re-vamp their rides!

My son Luke has been wheedling for a scooter since he started Nursery last September.  To make matters worse, his best friend got one for his birthday in January.  Well, you can imagine the delight on his face when I opened the box and presented him with a red Micro Scooter.  Within ten minutes his cycle-helmet was on and he was scooting to and fro past the living room window.  And he’s fast on it too – not bad for 4 years old.

BE SAFE, BE SEEN

As when travelling by any wheeled device (whether it be a bike, tricycle or scooter) safety is paramount.  It is a great idea to purchase these additional accessories to keep your child safe on the pavements and roads:

A helmet is the most important accessory of all, available in a range of funky designs and colours.  These can be purchased from most independent cycle shops and specialist car and bike outlets, such as Halfords.

Frog Lights Available in eight different colours and giving visibility up to 600 metres with either a steady or flashing light. Frog Lights have a battery life of 160hrs and its unique flexible body allows it to wrap round and hold fast onto the stem of your Micro Scooter.

· Girls and boys junior pads and reflective jackets as recommended by the Government as part of its walk to school initiative.

Parenting Without Tears

There is a clear hierarchy on the pavements, just as on the road. I'm not talking about pram envy amongst mums but scooter lust! And the Maxi Micro T-Bar is a clear winner.

Toby, aged four and three quarters (and big for his age), has a close relationship with scooters. At the age of two, he stepped onto his first model, complete with flashing lights and bright chrome work. After 18 months of endurance-style riding led to its mechanical demise and we replaced it with a similar metal model. Meanwhile almost all of Toby's friends ventured forth on the familiar pink and blue Mini Micros which fill our local pavements and parks.

It was with enormous pride and a little trepidation that Toby ventured onto the splendid new Maxi Micro T-Bar scooter. Would the increase in speed for an already rather reckless four year old be offset by the improved handling? Happily, Toby took to the Maxi Micro almost instantly, after one or two minor scrapes when gradient and scooter were ill-matched with his experience.

In no time, the silver two-wheeler scooter was all but forgotten, and the admiring glances given to his new ride by school boys and pre-schoolers alike only served to add to its superiority.

maxi micro scooterMicros are much imitated, but the real deal is beautifully designed and engineered, with wheels and bearings that allow for true skateboard-style gliding and give the well-balanced child plenty of scope for tricks and other vital bits of showing off. For a mum, the Maxi Micro's inherent stability provides a certain amount of peace of mind as Toby points it down the nearest hill, and the brakes - when he chooses to use them - are certainly effective.

It's hard to fault the Maxi Micro, this superior scooter offers fantastic looks and offers great speed, handling and manoeuvrability to its young riders. it is a truly cool scooter and Toby certainly feels as though he is king of the pavement!

The Maxi Micro T-Bar £89.99 is available exclusively from www.micro-scooters.co.uk

What's on 4 Kids Parties

Mini Micro Scooter RRP £39.99 from all good toy stores

Alice's eyes lit up as soon as she spotted the scooter and it had to be tested out straight away!  The scooter is very funky looking with clear plastic wheels and bright but not babyish colours.  It's also very light and the handle prop is very quickly removed and reinserted - must be one of the faster pre-schooler toys to assemble!  It also comes with picture instructions and safety guide so you can explain easily to a non-reader the dos and don'ts of scootering.  And there are some stickers included as well.  A well-built first scooter for any child!
