Micro Scooters Buyer's Guide
Types of Scooters
If you are looking for a recreational scooter then you must consider the Micro Scooters range, they have been making high quality scooters since day one and are a trusted brand for good reason. There is a fairly big range to choose from so here is our advice and some suggestions.
Mini Micro and Maxi Micro Scooters
These scooters have 3 wheels for extra stability and are designed for really young children as a start to scooter riding. They are much lighter than the aluminium models and smaller all around. For more information see our Mini Micro Scooter guide.
Micro Sprite and Micro Bullet Scooter
These are the entry point models in the Micro range and are great for younger children and those wanting to ride their first two wheel scooter. The Micro Sprite is one of our best selling models and comes in a great range of colours, it is perfect for the school run and folds up neatly without taking up too much space.
Micro Flex and Micro Speed V2
These scooters are the step up from the models above and have two main differences, wider footplates and larger wheels. The wider footplate is for increased stability and has the bigger or older rider in mind. They also both come with 140mm wheels for a quicker and smoother ride, better for covering longer distances and rougher surfaces.
Micro Black and Micro White
These two models sit at the top of the Micro range and are most popular with adults and those wanting to commute. The large 200mm wheels make them the smoothest and fastest scooters from micro. They are ideal for longer journeys and getting to places fast. The large wheels ensure that you roll over bumps and cracks in the pavement with minimal effort.
