Children’s Micro Scooters Buyers Guide

Micro Scooters have one of the best selections of kick scooters out there. Premium quality, built to last with replaceable parts and a range that caters for everyone from toddlers to adults. Whether you are scooting the school run or scooting around the local park, scooting on a Micro scooter is guaranteed to provide miles of smiles for everyone.

Slick's Skate Store stocks a wide variety of Micro Scooters, so how do you choose the right one for you? Here’s our guide:

For toddlers starting out, the brand’s iconic, multi-award-winning Mini Micro Scooters are the best models to go for. Suitable from 2 to 5 years old, the Mini makes scooting a breeze for preschoolers. It has three wheels for stability, a lightweight frame for easy independent riding, and a lean-to-steer mechanism for an intuitive ride. We stock a few different versions of the Mini, but each one is expertly designed to help develop a child’s balance and coordination.
Once kids grow out of the Mini, the next model to progress to is the Maxi Micro; these scooters feature the same 3-wheel design but have extendable handlebars and a higher weight limit for bigger children. We stock a foldable version of the Maxi, making storing and transporting the scooter easier.

For children who have mastered riding a bike without stabilisers, the Micro Sprite might be preferred as a more ‘grown-up’ scooter. These aluminium two-wheel scooters are easy to ride, foldable and have a weight limit of 100kgs, so they are suitable for adults too – the new Micro Sprite Suspension features front suspension, giving the smoothest ride yet within the Sprite range. If you want something a little bigger than the Micro Sprite, the Micro Speed is a similar scooter but with a broader deck and bigger wheels; we stock the Speed in the hugely popular neochrome finish.

Only A-teams become B Corps.

In 2022, after a rigorous 18-month assessment period, Micro UK became B Corp certified, underlining their commitment to building a business that does good for the planet and the people on it. There is no other scooter retailer that goes to the lengths Micro UK does to extend their products' lifecycle and champion green behaviour. It is so much more than a USP; it's an ethos by which the company lives and breathes. Every Micro Scooter is designed and engineered to last for multiple generations. Central to this is their unique suite of replaceable parts – every scooter can be repaired, revamped and given a new life – instead of ending up in landfill. You can even return your micro scooter to them when you’re finished with it so that it can be revamped and rehomed with a child who would otherwise not have access to a scooter – you can find out more about Scooter Aid on the Micro UK website.
