Micro scooters in multi colours

This article was posted by UK Parents lounge

For youngsters who are too young to ride a bike to school, a scooter is a good mode of transport, and the Mini Micro Scooter is now available in new limited edition colours.The green, yellow and red Mini Micro Scooters will be available exclusively in the UK, from the end of July. As well as the scooters, you can also buy handle grips, decks and brakes in the new colours - allowing kids to pimp their ride to their own colourful specification. The Mini Micro Scooter's high quality Swiss design makes scooting fun and easy for youngsters - its three-wheel construction (two in front) and a low-to-the-ground flexible footboard allowing maximum control and stability. The unique lean-and-steer design enables kids to use their body weight to effortlessly guide their direction and enjoy a smooth ‘skateboard like’ ride. The scooter is lightweight to carry and easy to store. Mini Micro Scooters are distributed in the UK by mums Anna Gibson and Philippa Gogarty, who signed a deal with the Swiss manufacturers of the original scooter they bought. The pair worked with Micro Mobility Systems AG, the Swiss company that invented the Mini Kickboard Scooter, to become the distributors in the UK. Based on the huge success of the Scooter in the UK they are currently expanding the company around the world in countries including The United States, South Africa, Holland and Southern Ireland.The new limited edition colours are available exclusively at www.micro-scooters.co.uk, costing £54.95.

LONDON KIDS WILL SCOOT 8M MILES TO SCHOOL THIS YEAR

According to Micro Scooters Ltd, London kids are set to scoot over 8 million miles (the equivalent of circumnavigating the world 325 times) to school this year* on what has become the hottest phenomenon on three wheels – The Mini Micro-Scooter. This represents an estimated saving £80m in petrol required for the daily school run in 2009.
Uniquely designed to literally surf the pavements, these reinforced plastic pink and blue Mini Micro 3 wheelers have quickly become the coolest thing on wheels on the ‘scoot to school’ in London and are now the number one selling scooter for children between the ages of 2-5 years old. And, with its latest launch, the all-new Maxi Micro Scooter, designed for kids aged 5-11 years, the trend is set to run and run amongst primary-aged school kids who may have out-grown their mini’s but not their love of scooting.
The popularity of Mini and Maxi Micro Scooters amongst kids is equally matched by the enthusiasm of their parents who understand their value as a practical, enduring product that promotes exercise and improves their children’s balance, coordination and independence. It is also light-weight, portable and easy to store making it perfect for city living.

The Mini and Maxi Micro Scooter are available for sale on line at www.micro-scooters.co.uk, retailing at £46.99 and £89.99 respectively.

*figure based on average 1 mile per day walk to school on 250 days per year and total sales of Mini Micro Scooters in 2008. ** figure based on AA’s Guide to Average Petrol Cost /mile in 2008

Oliver's verdict!

Oliver, aged 7, recently wrote about his Maxi Micro Scooter;
I love my Maxi Micro Scooter too because it doesn’t have handle-bars like all the others but a joystick like on my play station which is cool. I can also make it go wherever I want and do tricks on it and it doesn’t bash your ankles like the other ones do.
