Product Description
The Mini is the quality scooter for young children. The mini kick scooter won the Oppenheim Toy Gold and Platinum Award Seals 2009 and also was awarded 'Best Toy' by Learning Express Stores. Toy Report also called the mini that 'Best Toy for Pre-school Kids'.
What makes the mini unique and fun is its 'lean-and-steer' design which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving kids the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard, adding an element of fun and control that young children love.
The Mini scooter is designed with 3 wheels for greater stability and control. The Italian-made highest-quality polyurethane wheels create a wonderfully smooth, quiet glide.
The kickboard is low-to-the-ground and large enough for two feet, making it easy for young children to hop on and off and to switch from pushing -- to just enjoying the ride.
The 'spoon' brake at the back adds additional control, and kids like it because it's just like the 'big kid' scooters.
For parents, the Mini scooter is light weight (only 3.3lbs), so it's easy to pick up and carry when need be.
The Mini scooter makes scooting fun for young children at the same time as helping to develop their balance, co-ordination and motor skills.
The Mini scooter is designed with a weight recommendation of 60lbs. Please note that the scooter displays a weight limit of 20kg (44 lbs). The reason for the discrepancy is that European standards dictate that weights are approved and displayed only in increments of 10 kg (22lbs), so the next available weight category of 30 kg, or 66 lbs, would have put the displayed recommended weight limit OVER its actual recommendation of 60 lbs.
The design team at Micro-Mobility in Switzerland are always working to achieve ever-higher standards of excellence. They recently added a reinforced brake, stronger U-bar, and a new locking pin for easy handlebar removal.

Now it's easier than ever before with the Mini-Micro kick scooter, which allows children from 3 to 5 years old to enjoy all the fun and freedom of scooting. The ergonomics and handling of the Mini-Micro were developed with youngsters in mind, with three wheels to keep the rider from falling over, a back brake for safety, low ground clearance, and a simple Powerstic steering mechanism.

 Fun, cute and easy to use July 13, 2010

This is a great first time scooter. My 3-yr old loves it and it is light to carry. It was easy to assemble and great hot pink color.
Terrific Scooter June 29, 2010
Terps fan (Maryland)
My kids (age 2 and 4) love this scooter. We've had it over 6 months now and it's still in perfect condition. They can go very fast on it & it's very stable. Going to buy another one (in orange) for my younger child's upcoming birthday so they'll no longer have to share. It's pricey but I highly recommend.
The absolute best scooter! June 10, 2010
Sara Coplen Glidewell (San Diego, CA)
We bought this for my daughter's second birthday and she LOVES it. She has 2 tricycles, but she never wants to ride them, just her scooter. She mastered riding it very quickly, except for the brake, which she is still working on. She rides with a 4 and a 5 year old and she is much faster than either of them! Her friends 3-wheel scooters (other brands, both of which have 2 wheels in the back) look so rickety and dangerous compared to her Mini Kick which glides very smoothly and is easy to steer. We lost her original Mini-Kick scooter during a hotel stay and it was dearly missed so we had to purchase a second one, and we would do it again if needed.
Awesome scooter for a 3-4 year old! March 22, 2010

My 4 year old daughter loves this scooter! Easy to lean and turn, goes fast like her brother's scooter, and brakes in the back like the other ones too, with a softer and safer design.
Amazing scooter worth the price February 13, 2010
Sophia Schwartz (CA)
It took only one day for our 3 1/2 year old to master the scooter -- the concept of scooting, the unique steering, and braking. The scooter is well-engineered -- Several other scooters are larger and may appear more sturdy, but the bearings and light weight of this one make it a winner!!
