We want to give every child the chance to enjoy the fun and feel-good of life on wheels. And we think it’s our responsibility to ensure every Micro can be loved by multiple generations of children.
Which is why we created ScooterAid – to rehome used scooters with children who would otherwise miss out.
The premise is simple. Every Micro Scooter is built to last. So when your child has outgrown theirs, send it back to us and we’ll do the rest.
We revamp and rehome your used Micro Scooter with children in need across the UK. Every pre-loved scooter you donate to us is another child we can help.
So far you’ve helped us bring some scooting feel-good to thousands of children across the country. Together we can reach thousands more.
Looking after each other. Looking after our planet.

Adventures for all
We have teamed up with InKind Direct to ensure that no child misses out on scooting adventures. You can now choose to make a donation when you check out and that value will be converted into an accessory and sent out to children via worthwhile charities in the UK.
In Kind Direct connects corporate donors to charities in the UK. They don’t rely on financial donations, instead products are what’s invaluable.
“We distribute quality consumer products, donated by some of the UK’s best known manufacturers, retailers and brands, to charitable organisations – including charities, community groups, foodbanks and schools – who join our network for free.”
Micro ensures that the cost of the accessories donated are greater than the value you donate at checkout. Micro will never make a profit from the donation you give, which means that 100% of your donation goes to the people who need it most.
Driven by two core beliefs
Scooting is good for mind and body
We believe scooting is good for mind and body – and we’re on a mission to give as many people as possible the chance to enjoy its benefits.
