Mini Kick Scooter - Pink

Product Review

Kickboard USA is the official distributor for Micro-Moblity, Switzerland, makers of the Mini Kick scooter for kids ages 2-5, the Maxi Kick scooter for kids ages 5-10, and a full line of quality scooters for teens and adults. The Mini Kick is the quality choice in children's scooters. In 2011 the Mini was awarded the Parent's Choice Approved Seal and in 2009, it won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy. The Mini also was named 'Best Pre-School Scooter' by Toy Report, 'Best Outdoor Toy' by Learning Express Stores and was featured on the NBC Today Show as part of its 'Best Toys for Summer' series. What makes the Mini unique is its quality construction and 'lean-and-steer' design, which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving them the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard. The lean-and-steer adds an element of stability and fun, great for learning balance and coordination. The Mini's 3 wheels make it easy for even the youngest kids to ride. The youngest kids will normally start riding in a straight line but learn quite quickly, almost intuitively, to gently lean, in order to steer. The older kids (ages 4 and 5) become very proficient, curving right and left as they 'surf' the sidewalk. The rear brake adds to the safety and fun. The Mini can be ridden inside while learning (or waiting for Spring) as the Italian made wheels are non marking. The wheels and shock absorbent deck work in unison to provide an incredibly smooth, quiet ride, a joy for parents and children alike. The mini's light weight (only 3.3 lbs), makes it easy for young kids to control and convenient for parents to pick up and carry when need be. Weight limit 44lbs. Children love to ride the mini kick daily, year after year and the modular construction means that all parts are replaceable, so it can last, virtually forever.

Has your child ever dreamt of surfing the pavement just like the bigger kids? Now it's easier than ever before with the Mini-Micro kick scooter, which allows children from 3 to 5 years old to enjoy all the fun and freedom of scooting. The ergonomics and handling of the Mini-Micro were developed with youngsters in mind, with three wheels to keep the rider from falling over, a back brake for safety, low ground clearance, and a simple Powerstic steering mechanism. The company also avoided using any sharp edges in the Mini-Micro to prevent unfortunate bumps and bruises. Most importantly, the trendy toy--which weighs only 3.7 pounds--allows toddlers to surf the asphalt while simultaneously improving their motor skills, balance, and coordination.

The Mini-Micro is built to last, with a polyamide base construction reinforced with 40-percent glass fiber and a polypropylene body. And when it's time to pack up and head home, you can easily remove the steering column and store the Mini-Micro in a backpack. The Mini-Micro is the ultimate kick scooter for youngsters of all skill levels.
