We build Micro Scooters to last for years, we insist on quality design and longevity. With you in mind, we test our scooters relentlessly to make sure that they are up to the challenge of the toughest scooting adventures.

When they pass we are confident that they are of superior build quality to keep children safe when they reach their forever home.

In order to stay super safe, there are certain things that every intrepid explorer should know. Of course, there is the obvious, make sure you wear a helmet, add lights when scooting in the evenings and never scoot too far away from a grown-up...

We have taken safe scooting one step further and we enlisted the help of our ambassadors to provide us with these top secret scooting tips from the Micro community that only the truest of Micro Adventurers will really understand.

Read on to find out more, the result will be scoot-safe savvy children who have good road manners, pavement etiquette and practical skills including how to brake and steer a scooter.

Sticky wheels

Watch out for sticks lying on the ground as your wheels can get caught in them especially If they are thin.

Ice, ice baby

Watch out for icy spots where puddles may have frozen over In the winter months, if you look closely the pavement looks extra shiny in patches. These are the slippery points to avoid.

Slow down!

Use the grass to slow you down if you get up to high speeds on tarmac where slamming your brake on could throw you.

Timberrrrrr

Watch out for sticks and branches falling down from trees!

Carry on scooting!

Carry your scooter if it’s too muddy! Or you can ask a grown up to help you.

Watch out for winds

Stay away from the river if it’s windy! Instead enjoy the wind with one of our Micro Windmills!

Tied up and tucked

Make sure laces aren’t tied up and tucked well away and don’t wear baggy clothing which could get caught in the wheels!

Good gliding

Do not take abrupt turns while scooting, glide into the turn.

Head over heels

Slightly lift the scooter as you go down the kerb so you don’t go head first over the handlebars.

Stick to the rules

Don’t scoot whilst holding sticks (no matter how amazing it is) or anything else for that matter! Both hands safely on the handlebars at all time.

Nom nom

Don’t eat whilst scooting. Instead, take a picnic in your Micro Lunchbag.

Slippery slope

Watch out for manhole covers as they are more slippery than pavements. Also keep your eyes peeled for grates for drains as wheels can fit in the ‘slots’.

Practise makes perfect

Pick a line on the floor and practice stopping at it. Can put down a stick / choose a lamppost and aim for it.

Wibbly wobbly

Dips and dents in pavements can cause havoc. Always keep your eyes peeled and your knees braced to be ready for any unfortunate wobbles.
