Great fun and perfect confidence builder! – We purchased a Maxi Micro scooter for our very cautious 4yo son recently. He lacked confidence and refused to get on a bike or scooter. He was not keen, but after only a few weeks he is scooting down the footpath ahead of me and loving it! We went over 3km today, and he did not once complain he was tired or wanted to be carried - he was having too… Read more ·  2

much fun! (A group of older boys riding past commented on what a cool scooter he had - he was so proud, couldn't wipe the smile off his face!). He has learnt to 'lean to steer' and does so really well, much sooner and easier than I expected. He has not yet mastered the brake, but that will come in time. The stability of the scooter made it so much easier for him to learn, as he can stand on it and there is no way it will tip over on him while he is trying to get his legs coordinated. Im just so pleased with the confidence he has gained since he got his scooter!

In terms of colour, our son wanted black, but as we live in a hot climate we chose the lime green for him and so far it has stayed relatively cool.

Our little girl who is only 19 months old absolutely loves her big brothers maxi micro, and is able to scoot herself along quite well, but hasn't got the hang of turning just yet. The maxi is light enough for her to maneuver around by herself, and she also loves to stand on it and be towed around. We have the handlebars at the lowest setting for our son, and she can just peer over it as she scoots along! Needless to say, we have decided that she will need a Micro Scooter of her own! (mum is even tempted to get one for herself)

My husband was hesitant at first because of the price, but really likes it, and has even commented on the build quality!

Thank you Micro, we are converts! Stable, safe, great communication and customer service, easy to use but still very cool!

Love our Maxi! – My 7 year old has just grown out of his Maxi Micro, and we're passing it down to the four year old! Her Mini Micro gets passed down in turn to the 2 year old! In fact, we've just purchased the Bullet Street Pro from the same company for the older child. They are all brilliant. The Maxi Micro is hard wearing, having an energetic 7 year old who… Read more ·  1

has ridden it almost daily for the last 3 years. I wouldnt say it looks new, it has various scratches from being bashed into things (doors, rocks, little sisters....) but it still rides beautifully. We will replace the handgrips as one has slightly torn. It's very stable to ride, goes much faster than the Mini and lasts very well. We are a family that scrimps and saves just to get by, so this was a much thought about purchase, however one that i have never regretted. I expect to hand this down through the three children in years to come. Worth every cent.

LOVE Micro scooters! Hard wearing, Replaceable parts, good service

Somewhat pricey by comparisons, but a very well engineered scooter – This is a review of the T-handle Maxi Micro, not the joystick-steer model. Early on here, I strongly recommend you have the kids wear a good helmet. These scooters can get quite a good speed on, and we have experienced 2 crashes to date ! The Maxi is about 30% larger and heavier than the very popular Mini Micro, and steers and brakes the same… Read more

way. The main differences are that all parts are constructed more strongly, and that the height of the T-handle is adjustable.

This height adjustment is easy to use, and effective. The scooter also breaks down into 2 pieces just as the Mini does.

Our 4 yr old grandson has a much used Mini Micro, and also handles the Maxi quite well. He is starting to want to steal it off his big sister. What they both like are the high quality wheel bearings, which "GO FAST"

All the good things that have been said of the Mini are also true of this larger one, plus, it also features a metal reinforcing strip on the brake, which is a weak point of the Mini.

A very good feature of this brand I think is that spares are available. For a DIY parent this is very good, because as this design wears in use, it eventually develops excessive camber on the front wheels, making it harder to steer. This can be fixed.

I'd recommend it for an average 4 yr old and up, but have them wear a helmet. More strongly built, adjustable, spares available Somewhat more expensive

Very nicely made, great for a learner – My daughter loves this. This is good for a learner. She would ride this to school when I drop her off. It is very easy to assemble. We keep it indoors when it is not in use. We go on rides in the park over the weekends. Very easy to use. But it is expensive.  Show details

The best stroller for the young kidz – I bought three scooters at Target before. My kids just hard to be balance on its and makes me think is their problem. at that time, I was thinking "are my kids don't suit to pay scooters??" Then my friends told me to buy micro scooters. At 1st, I think its silly. A toy - scooters over $100? are you kidding? So, I find a huge discount… Read more

on DJ before X'max and ordered 2 at around $150 each.

Still expensive then other brands but I would give it a try.

The result is my kids love it and have a well-balancing on it.

The last 2 weeks they played at the holiday park and without a fall.

LOVE IT!!

Best purchase ever for grandchildren – I have purchased 3 of these - one didn't get much use - because mainly ridden inside, however two of them have had a very hard life and apart from one of them fading, these have been absolutely fabulous. They are still going strong after 5-6 years of riding. I am now looking at upgrading to an adult size scooter to have at 'Grandmama's house' for them to ride when they visit.  Show details

Best present ever! – Our 4 almost 5 year old received this scooter for Christmas and he just loves it, he goes so fast on it. The year before Santa had made a terrible error of buying him a cheap scooter which he just never rode. Since receiving the Maxi he has been scooting everywhere! When he was two he had the micro that was great also. My husband put the scooter… Read more

together and was so impressed with how strong it was. We do not have one negative thing to say about this scooter. It may not be cheap but there is a reason, it is good quality you really do get what you pay for as we found out!

Best Purchase Ever- Worth Their Weight In Gold! – My friend told me that these scooters were the "best purchase ever!" for her 4 kids so I have recently purchased them for my 3 kids. She was right! They are awesome, the kids just LOVE them. We have been scooting to school and at home they are on them constantly (inside and out). They are so well designed, so well made, excellent value and so much… Read more

fun!! We are going on holidays soon and I was very excited when I worked out that I can take an extra suitcase and take them with us! So they are going overseas and interstate! (they are pretty light too!). I have ordered a micro monster kickboard for my birthday coming up and I can't wait until it arrives so I can go scooting too!

Very happy with this scooter – I have seen these around and thought they are not worth the money or that the kids will outgrow it. Plus the steering just seemed limiting. Absolutely not! these are wonderful. I bought the mirco maxi for my 4 and 6 year old so it can grow with them. It is super fast, easy to use, they picked up the steering really quick and after 30 mins were… Read more

riding corners with ease. No major falls if any fall at all. So happy I bought these the kids are going to have a blast! now I have to get a micro mini for the 2 year old because she won't leave it alone.

If you are looking for a great scooter then you've found it! – We purchased our 2 children their own mini micro scooters about 2.5 years ago. They have been very safe and have lasted the distance. You can always get parts quickly if you need them. The scooters are very well made and we look forward to purchasing the maxi scooters for Christmas.

Excellent for kids with special needs – We bought one several years ago now for our then 7yo son who has special needs - poor balance and coordination as part of this, and he could never manage to scoot on a regular scooter, not even a three wheeler one (two wheels in the back and one wheel in the front as they all seemed to be at that time). The maxi micro was amazing, they lean to… Read more

steer rather than turn to steer and the wheels at the front makes it so much more steady. He picked it up almost immediately and has been inseperable from it ever since. It enabled him to keep up and join in with his brothers which has been awesome.

Unfortunately it got backed over in the driveway this week and they are so expensive I can't replace it, this is their downside.

Not safe – The schooter is fun to ride , but we find it unsafe. If you look at the chip plastic part that holds up the t-bar and the base together you'll realize that it won't last long. Our lasted just about a year. My little one is only 5, occasionally riding his schooter. We're happy he didn't get hurt.

Good design. Shame about the after sales service – Had a great experience with the Micro Mini so we bought a Micro maxi. The handles on the Maxi degraded quickly and broke off. Raised the issue with customer support and have been disappointed with their response. No apology, no offer to make good... Apparently we have been bumping the handles or the 'harsh Australasian sun'. Easy to ride, stable.… Read more

Plastic degraded. Poor customer support with attitude. I expect better for the money you pay for these.

Fantastic kids scooters – We have now purchased three Maxi Micro Scooters for our girls, they are sturdy, easy to learn balance and control on and as a mum I really rate this product. Also after backing over one I found the customer service OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! They answered my call and said if I emailed photos of the damage they could assess and tell me what needs to… Read more ·  1

happen. Which is exactly what they did in the same day. We got the correct parts from their advice and my husband was able to fix it himself, if he couldn't they said send it and they would. Haven't had customer service like that for a long time - thank you Micro Support Reliable, safe

Brilliant product!! – This is a brilliant product. My son loves it. It is lightweight and stable and so easy to use. The steering design and break is great for young kids (he is not quite 4, but outgrew the mini version). It is wonderful to see him so happy and confident on it. Especially as he is not the most coordinated child in the world! I would recommend this product to anyone. Worth every cent.

Brilliant! Comes everywhere with us – My son is not the most coordinated of boys however we purchased the Maxi Micro and it is brilliant. He scooters with confidence and loves it!! If he can ride it, anyone can!! It's also improved his fine motor skills due to holding the handle firmly etc as his Occupational Therapist could not believe how is fine motor skills had improved and the only change was the scooter!! Worth every cent. Smooth and easy to ride

Great quality – We ordered the Maxi Micro for my 3.5 year old as his first scooter. We looked at the size difference between the two (only 2cm handlebar height difference) and decided to get the Maxi as we didn't want to have to upgrade in 18 months time. We are really happy with our choice. He got on and started riding straight away with no problems at all. … Read more

He's small for his age but this isn't an issue. He's still getting the hang of steering, but I can see him spending many hours on his scooter over the coming years. Also love that you can buy replacement parts and accessories. Free delivery, excellent quality, color choices, adjustable handles. Pricey, but if it lasts the distance then a great investment.

Awesome scooter! – This is our second and third micro scooter purchase. We bought our first one for our daughter, and were so impressed with it, we didn't hesitate in purchasing micro scooters for our twins, when the time arose. We went straight to the Maxi Micros for our 2 year olds and they are both able to handle the scooters well. Smooth ride, easy to steer,… Read more

narrow wheel base at the rear so children don't clip their ankles, comfortable, great colours, great accessories

Great Scooter! – My son received his Maxi Micro Scooter for his 5th birthday and claims it is the best birthday present! He has willingly handed over his Mini Micro (still in perfect condition) to his little sister and the two of them delight in being able to head off scootering together. The scooters are a great design and when I watch the children scootering… Read more

with their friends I am so glad we didn't settle for a cheaper two wheeler version. The stability and sturdiness of the Micro scooters puts them in a league of their own. Worth every cent. Design, sturdiness, balance.

Best scooter ever!! – My 7 and 5 year old love their scooters - we started off with second hand micro minis, and after years of use moved the girls up to the maxis. The colour range is great -particularly if you have "pink" and "purple" daughters like mine, and the customer service is fantastic! Light weight, well made, easy to ride

Maxi Micro Scooter – Our 5 year old has a Maxi Micro Scooter and loves it. He rides it to school and all weekend. We couldn't live without it, it even comes on holidays with us. The wide board is great, the brake works well, he gives it a rough ride and its still working like new. Purchased from wassco.com.au in alexandria nsw Cool looking, smooth ride, easy to ride.

Maxi micro – My son is 7 and has aspergers. He has terrible balance. This scooter has allowed him to keep up with other kids and give him confidence in his balance. Thanks so much for the advice, the staff were great on phone and very helpful. Would be great if your company discounted for kids with disabilities Reliable Expensive

Maxi Micro Scooter – Our little boy is just two - previously he had a cheap 3-wheel scooter, and was proficient with it, but not challenged anymore. This micro scooter is designed for older kids I think, but he took to it instantly - and rides it (with Dad) every evening. The quality of materials and construction is very good. The wheels and bearings are good quality… Read more

and the scooter rolls really well. His older brother and the boys next door are envious. I think it will last and will be a favourite for years to come. quality of materials & constuction. would be nice if it was cheaper

Best scooter!! – We brought the micro mini for our then 2 1/2 yr old daughter, she has rode it everyday, and it hardly leaves her side. we are now in the process of buying her now 5 yr the maxi micro, she is so excited she cant wait. great quality and she was riding like a professional in no time at all. Reliable, great quality, safe.

Excellent scooter – As a mum of six I am a picky shopper. I was looking for a scooter that was good quality and stable for my accident prone 6 year old and came across the Maxi Micro. I decided to spend more than I intended for a scooter but have not been disappointed. All of my children fight over it and the older siblings are always trying to have a go. I have now… Read more ·  1

bought 2 mini micros too. I wish though that I had bought a Maxi Micro (instead of the mini) for my tall three year old as its lowest adjusted height is close to the mini micro and it would have lasted until age 12. We are now just about to buy a second Maxi Micro. Well built, good quality. A little faster than we expected but this is a plus for my older children!

Great for kids at the park – When at the park it is a great thing to take for the kids. They are very light, which is good! They are also very safe for the kids, so no falls happen. My daughter and son both have one and they don't have any complaints about it, all they say is when can we ride our scooter. It is very light to carry and safe.

Best present ever!!!!!! – Could I have bought my 4 yr old a better present for his birthday - NO WAY!!! Since we bought it he hasn't stopped riding it - in the house, outside, to bed, to anywhere it will take him. I have now just bought a second one for his brother as I cant stand the fighting anymore. Thanks guys for making me the best mum ever - as Riley woudl say… Read more

BEST PRESENT EVER MUM!!!!!!!! What a beautifully made scooter, great price for such great quality. Sturdy, non marking wheels, which is why i allow the boys to ride it inside (no marks on the timber floors). Give it a quick wipe from outside, perfect. The ease of purchase - free and quick delivery, gotta love that mums.

Fantastic scooter – we recently purchased the Maxi Micro for our 4 year old and are so impressed! she loves it and the quality is far superior to any other scooters we looked at for her. It only took her an hour to get to grips with the turning and its great for her balance.

Love it! – We had a micro mini for our 2 year old and our 5 year old was always wanting to use it so when it was her birthday we didn't hesitate to buy her a maxi micro. She LOVES it and we now has 2 children obsessed with taking their scooters everywhere. It is definitely the best toy we have bought for our kids. I have had at least 10 people ask me where… Read more

we got it from and am starting to see them everywhere. Now my 8 year old is counting down till her birthday when she will be getting her one. So easy for them to learn and the quality is outstanding!

Maxi sized fun! And well worth the higher cost – Agree with everything the first reviewer stated. But would add that although this scooter is far more expensive than some brands, you will no doubt get many years of use out of it and it could easily be handed down to siblings. I wouldn't expect the same from cheaper brands. This scooter can go very fast and a helmet (and padding) would be… Read more

recommended. Also children (esp the younger ones) would best avoid inclines. This scooter is also equipped with a rear foot brake which kids seem to be able to get the hang of quickly. My child loves to do sudden wheelie stops and has never had a problem.

However, the very low profile also lowers the centre of gravity and keeps the scooter upright and stable. It is also very easy and safe for the child to step off if they feel they are going too fast.

The steering mechanism - which is driven by the user leaning into the direction they wish to go makes for very steady turning. It does require hand steering which may be difficult for younger children.

The scooter itself seems to be extremely durable and would suit the roughest kids.

The colours are bright and appeal to both boys and girls.

Accessories and spare parts are available. Strong, sturdy, stable Cost (but likely to last)

Best seen so far!!!! – I was looking at a few model but none satisfy the built quality I wanted. I found out about micro when we went to southbank water park. A little girl gracefully scooted passed us on a 'mini' and her dad was walking not far behind her with a typical 'proud dad's smile'. He gave me enough info to find this fantastic scooter. After checking the… Read more

scooter in a shop, I was a bit hesitant because of the price tag.

But, my 2.5 yo daughter (yes, a 'mini' for 2.5 yo) took off without any problem. I was having problem stopping her scooting in a busy shopping center.

That was a deal breaker for me.

I didn't get the preschooler but went straight to the 'mini' because it is more sturdy and my 2.5 yo can handle it pretty well.

After 5 months, she can handle the 'mini' pretty well and people always give us that curious look when we go to a park for a scoot.

I must say, the 'mini' was the best toy I ever bought her.

There are other technically superior design with this product such as wheels, material ergonomic etc.

It is like a Porsche of an automobile. . . .

If you currently considering to buy this product for your child, just go in a shop and see if your child likes it better than the others. Quality You get what you paid for

Money well spent – We recently purchased a mini micro for our 19mth old daughter and she absolutely loves it! I also bought the o handle, which makes it the perfect height for her. It took her less than half a day to pick up the scooting action. She rides it every day and always need to know where her scooter is. The two wheels at the front make it so much easier… Read more

for little ones to balance, and I'm sure she thinks she is wonderful and just like her big brothers when she rides it. The scooter is excellent quality and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about purchasing one. If the mini micro was the only thing our daughter had to play with, I'm sure she would be happy! Good quality, good customer service, best buy, no batteries required!

Awesome!! – My son (5) rides his scooter to and from school everyday (with me quickly following behind!!)and I don't think there has been a day without a child or adult commenting on how "awesome that scooter is". So thanks for designing a scooter that makes my son feel like he has the best scooter in the world!!!
