Choosing The Best Scooter for Your 5-12 Year Old

One of the most commonly asked questions we get is "what's the best scooter for my 5-12 year old?" Once they've grown out of their beloved Mini Micro there are lots of great options for their next new ride. Whether they want to stick to the familiar, try out a cool two-wheeler or start doing jumps at the skate park, Micro's got them covered.

Transitioning from the Mini Micro

Are they still attached to their Mini Micro? Need extra stability and love using a 3 wheeler? Want something that is robust and can take a thrashing?

Maxi Micro Deluxe LED 3 Wheel Kids Scooter

The Maxi Micro Deluxe LED is the next step up from the Mini Micro with 3 wheels and lean-to-steer action. If they're still working on their balance and coordination then the Maxi is great for stability. It has adjustable handlebars letting it grow with them and last longer. If they don't want to say goodbye to their Mini but they've grown out of it, then the Maxi is the way to go, with vibrant new colours, raised silicone grip deck and anodised metallic finish and motion-powered LED wheels that light up when you scoot.

For children who are still developing their balance and coordination skills, we also have the Maxi Micro Deluxe Pro Kids Scooter with ultimate control chopper-style handlebars and wide front wheels for extra stability.

Embracing the Two-Wheeler Experience

Are they confident at balancing and want a cool two-wheeler to cruise to school? Need something that's easily folded, stored and carried?
