Why a Scooter is the perfect Mother's Day Gift

Scootering Isn’t Just for Kids – It’s a Mother’s Little Helper (for All the Right Reasons) 😉

When people think of scooters, they often picture kids at the park. But here’s the thing — scootering isn’t just for little ones. It’s a practical, feel-good way for mums to get around, keep up with the kids, and carve out a little bit of time for themselves too.

Here’s why more mums are making scootering part of their everyday routine:

1. A modern, thoughtful gift that mums will actually use

Scooters aren’t just for fun (although they’re definitely that too). They’re well-designed, easy to ride, and a surprisingly handy part of a busy mum’s toolkit. Whether it’s the school run, popping to the shops, or heading to the park, having a scooter makes the day that little bit easier — and a lot more enjoyable.

2. She’ll get from A to B faster — and have more time for everything else

Scootering can save valuable minutes throughout the day — and when you’re juggling a million things, every minute counts. That extra time might mean finishing the laundry, replying to a message, painting your nails, feeding the cat, or even just sitting down with a cuppa. Whatever it is, scootering helps make space for it.

3. The kids will love scootering with her (and she’ll love it too)

Let’s be real — trying to keep up with kids on scooters while walking can be a challenge. With a scooter of your own, you can ride alongside them, teach them how to scoot safely, and enjoy the moment together. It’s a fun, active way to spend time as a family.

Micro Mum Ansa says:

"My eldest loves that I have a scooter. I hear her asking her friends, "does your mummy have a scooter? My mummy has one. It's not a kid's scooter, it's a mummy scooter!" I think she's pretty chuffed that it's something we can do together."

Micro Mum Dianne adds:

"The girls absolutely love how I scoot with them and love going to different places and just letting loose!"

Micro Mum Sarah shares:

"At first they couldn't get over the fact that I could actually scoot, let alone beat them in races. They love the fact that we can all scoot together as a family. "

4. She’ll get fit and feel great

Scootering burns up to 300 calories per hour — more than cycling. And because it fits naturally into your day, you won’t even notice you’re getting a workout. It’s fitness without the fuss.

5. It’s easy, fun, and a great way to de-stress

A quick ride around the block can do wonders for your mood. Scootering is simple to pick up, feels freeing, and adds a little lightness to your day. Whether it’s scootering home from work, to school, or just for a bit of fresh air, it’s a chance to reset, chat, and connect — with yourself or with the kids.

So if you’ve ever thought about getting your own scooter, this might be the perfect time.

It’s practical. It’s fun. It’s a small change that makes a big difference. And it might just become your favourite part of the day.

Scooting isn't just a great kids activity, it's a Mother's Little Helper for all the right reasons ;)

1. It's a modern, stylish gift for Mum that will turn heads.

We're seeing more and more adults getting on scooters this year, turning heads because not only are micro scooters are such good looking pieces of modern design, but also because adults on scooters shine - there's no denying when you feel good you look good, and a scooter will give you that by the bucket load.

2. She'll get from a-b faster - giving her more time for any of the million other things she might choose to do.

That 10 minutes you save on your trip lets you finish those dishes, send that email, finish that chat, pay that bill, finish painting those nails, buy that dress, schedule those next day priorities, feed that cat, post that pic on instagram, or do a 10 minute mindfulness meditation to get ready for the kids, the husband, the office.... that's our list, feel free to add a hundred ideas of your own :)

3. The kids will L.O.V.E. scooting with her (the feeling will be mutual) and she'll love keeping up with them. Being an active role model for our kids is a great way to set them up for a fit healthy adulthood.

Plus who honestly loves running behind their toddlers and kids on scooters as they zoom off in front (active wear or no active wear), shouting after them to slow down, watch out for that driveway, and stop at the road. When you're on a scooter too you can be teaching them all the appropriate road and scooter safety rules as you go. Easy!

They'll model you and think being active is just the way it is - which will in turn make them healthy, fit adults without even thinking about it.

4. She'll get fit and feel great - scooting burns 300cal per hour (more than cycling).

We love this one. The key here is integrating fitness our the daily routine, so it doesn't take away any more valuable time, and before you know it you're noticing you're feeling that bit fitter, that bit better, that bit more toned.

5. It's easy, fun and a perfect way to de-stress...

A little de-stress a few times a day - and the sky is the limit. Whenever things get a bit tense, grab your scooters and take a ten minute scoot to the park, to the shop, around the block and it'll lighten everything up. Scooting home from work helps you leave work behind. Scooting home from the school run is a great time to chat through the kids day - somehow chatting on the move makes it easier for them to let it all out.

Scooting takes no time at all to master - we're not talking rollerskating or skateboarding here, it easy peasy and fun - in that release your inner child kinda way.
