Micro Kickboard - Maxi Original 3-Wheeled, Lean-to-Steer, Swiss-Designed Micro Scooter for Kids, Ages 5-12

This is one of those great products that no one ever hears about because the Razor line just about has the market cornered. Yes those are less expensive, but if you purchase this maxi kick scooter at the right time for your child (about 3 years or so), it will end up being a very inexpensive toy over time. I paid $130 for this neon pink/black maxi kick scooter, and I figure it should last my three and a half year old another eight years plus.... that's only $16 dollars a year.The maxi scooter measures 24 in. high at it's lowest setting and that suits my 41 in. daughter very well. I almost purchased the mini kick, but so glad now that I didn't since the maxi is adjustable and has a slightly larger platform.I will concede this scooter is made in China just as the Razors are, but the components on the kick line of scooters are much better quality... the wheels, bearings, etc.The steering column does not fold down, but rather locks into place, or is removed with a "push" button mechanism. It can be a bit awkward to push the button to remove the column. I find that a small flat-head screwdriver works well for this. The height adjustment is a simple, but reliable quick release. The hand grips are really rubbery and provide excellent grip. The deck has no grip tape, but does seem to provide adequate slip protection as my daughter was riding through puddles yesterday. The deck has just the amount of flex one might expect a child's scooter to have, which really helps the carving effect one gets from the unique steering mechanism. The front wheels have a camber to them when turning.... think Can-Am roadster. The wheels are super smooth and ultra quiet on our hardwood, tile carpet, and outside on pavement.I was a little worried about my girl not getting the hang of the rear brake, but boy was I wrong. Once I showed it to her, she immediately began practicing with it. We had a couple rainy days at Christmas, so she got to practice inside before heading out. She seemed really confident right from the start. I'm so glad we paid a little more and went with the front three wheeled design. Our neighbor's child got a rear three wheeled scooter and she is constantly kicking the rear wheels when she pushes, regardless of which foot she uses. My girl is able to take big long confident strides when she pushes without kicking any wheels.If you are reading this debating between the maxi or mini, your child is probably going to fit the maxi at it's lowest setting. If you are here debating between a front or rear three wheeled design, I promise your child will be happier with this design if given the choice. Micro Mobility started out designing scooters for adults, and have since delivered a well designed quality line of children's scooters. It really is a great little scooter, and in my opinion far superior to the half a dozen different scooters belonging to the children in this cul-de-sac.**UPDATE 11-24-2014**Scooter is holding up great. Very well built. All the other kids in the neighborhood love to ride it because of the two wheels in front design, along with the built in 'camber'. I would buy this over again in a heartbeat. I've only raised the handle up about an inch from last year, so I firmly believe it will last our daughter for seven more years. Updating from 4 to 5 stars!**UPDATE 1-24-2016**Daughter is now 46 inches tall and still have tons of room to adjust the handlebars up as she grows. Scooter is in great shape, but she hasn't hit the half-pipe with it either. Seriously, this scooter is a really good buy despite the higher price than other scooters. She has been riding it about everyday for over two years now and I still believe she will get another 4-5 years out of it.****UPDATE 10/11/2017****Still going strong! We keep it in the garage so it isn't subjected to the elements. A little sun fading on the grips and a few nicks here and there but otherwise still in excellent shape. Our daughter prefers this to her bike so it gets ridden just about everyday at some point. A great value if you buy early.. around age 3 or so. I said she would likely get 8 years out of this scooter when I wrote the review in 2013. Well it's been almost 4 years now and I still feel she will get 3-4 more years of enjoyment from this scooter.Thanks for the time and if you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer as best I can.SPO

For those of you wondering if this will work on a country asphalt road: it does! I was worried about our neighborhood's road because it's definitely not a smooth pavement, and neither is our driveway. I was worried the road surface would be too bumpy for my kids to control their scooters. NOT SO! I'm so pleasantly surprised at how well these handle on our country road. I purchased two for both of my girls, 5 and 3 years old. My 3 year old took to it like a fish to water and now zooms all over the place. I'm glad I didn't get the Micro Mini for her because the Maxi is just right for her on the lowest setting and now this scooter will grow with her. She's completely average in height for a 3 year old so unless your child is very short, go ahead and get the Maxi. I do recommend knee and elbow pads and even gripper gloves if riding on rougher pavement. One of them hit a small rock and took a tumble but was fine with the pads on and jumped right up and rolled away. What sold me on buying this over a cheaper Razor or other brand scooter is (1) quality and (2) replaceability of parts. I know our rough road will eat up the wheels eventually and I also know it won't cost an arm and a leg to fix it. I can see them using these for many years.

I am so pleased that we went with this scooter for our 5yo's birthday gift. We looked at cheaper models, but none of them seemed to measure up in terms of quality or consistent positive customer feedback.This is a well-designed, well-manufactured scooter. This is our 5yo daughter's first scooter, so we wanted a three-wheeled scooter for extra stability. However, so many models put the double wheels in the back instead of the front. This makes it harder for them to really push themselves along without scraping up their ankles on the back wheels or throwing off their balance to avoid kicking the back wheels. The micro maxi has the double wheels up front, making it very easy for propulsion. The steering is easy for my 5yo to control. It is intuitive - she just leans into the way she wants to go, and it turns with ease. The back break is also a fantastic feature. I didn't think she would be able to get the hang of the break that quickly, but after just a couple of days, she had it down. She was quickly riding this thing like a pro!It's sturdy, easy to put together, easy to break down for travel, and easy to adjust handle bar height. And there are a billion accessories to deck it out in (on the company's website).We are very pleased with our purchase and would highly recommend this scooter!

Bought the Aqua Maxi Scooter for my 6 year old daughter and I do NOT regret it at all. It's made of high quality materials and appears to be very durable. It's a ultra quiet smooth ride and turns easily left to right. The steering column does not fold down, but rather locks into place, or is removed with a push button mechanism. The height adjustment is a simple quick release. The hand grips are rubbery and provide an excellent grip. The deck has no grip tape, but does seem to provide adequate slip protection. The deck has just the amount of flex and the size is great too. I can tell this scooter will be around for many years. Consider this scooter if you want a durable quality scooter.

This scooter is great! I was torn between getting my son the micro maxi or the micro mini. Because my son is a big 4 year old and I was afraid he would out grow the mini I went with the maxi and I'm happy I did. My son loves this scooter! It is very stable and easy to use. As you can see in the pic I let him get used to riding it in the kitchen and it was a huge hit! The maxi is the perfect size and with a max weight of 110lbs my 50 lb son won't be growing out of this scooter any time soon!

I upgraded from a cheap scooter to this Maxi Scooter and I was amazed to see how quickly my boy build confidence and started enjoying it. He never enjoyed his old scooter much because that really needed a lot of effort to make in roll. It is fast and quiet, adjustable height and build quality means that my boy can use it for many years to come, which means it is offers good value. I can easily un-clip the handle and put it in car boot.

My little girl LOVES her new big girl scooter. It was an upgrade from the Micro Scooter.The only comment i would make and this is obviously no fault of the seller, but more of a design point. The t-bar handles are either clicked really high in place or down really low. Even with the clamp - that allows you to move the bar up and down - closed it doesn't stay in a mid position.

Box arrived opened and damaged. Contents all look fine but they were all loose and the box had clearly been opened before and badly put back together. If it hadn’t been delivered in a sealed bag the box would have totally collapsed and some of the contents lost. I’ll be keeping this since the scooter itself is fine and I need it for a Christmas gift.

Expensive but very sturdy. My granddaughter loves it. She also likes the fact that she can raise and lower the handlebars. Also bought her a little bag for the front which she uses for her glasses/sunglasses and little toys or a water bottle. Also streamers which click into the handles and sparkle in the sunlight - all in pink I might add. Its great.

Beautiful black and pink scooter, My daughter is well pleased with mummys choice!I Love everything about it, We are now planning to buy small accessories to give it that princess finishing touch.

Great scooter for beginners

Absolutely fantastic and worth the money. My son is 5 and quite small for his age and is using it well.

The best scooter on the market, bit pricey but very well made and will certainly last. I bought for my 5 year old son but I think that it will last him years.

Fantastic. Great seller. A problem with delivery but was resolved and great communication from seller.The scooter is very sturdy and easy to use. The adjustable handle means it will be played with for a long time in the future.

Wonderful scooter. I just wish it could fold for storage and the bar would lock in place in positions other than the highest and lowest.

If you are looking for the best, STOP. You have already found it. Very fast delivery. 5 stars and no other words except AMAZING!

These scooters are unbeatable for children up to around 11yrs of age. Fantastic quality and they are so easy and smooth to use!

My granddaughter loves this . It was to replace the smaller one which she had grown out of and her little brother is now using . This is the only make of scooter worth buying and well worth the expense .

My 5 year old son loves it, very sturdy and adjustable bar.

Great scooter, kids love it
