Micro Scooter Buyers Guide

The general rule here is that the bigger the tires, the faster you are. This is only partly true, because you can achieve a very high speed even with small tires, but the effort required is much higher. To sum it up with bigger tires you don't have to push as often to speed up. Therefore size is especially important when you have to overcome great distances. Another very important point: the bigger the tire, the more pleasant the ride. With small tires, you can clearly feel every bump no matter how small. For distances over two kilometers and if the surface is uneven, we therefore recommend using 200mm tires!

Children love scooters. The smallest Micro is suitable for ages 2 and up. Thanks to the ingenious steering mechanism, children learn to keep their balance in a playful way which is ideal when preparing for cycling. We therefore recommend the Micro Mini and Micro Maxi for children. Both are light-weight, without risk of injury and come in many colors. Young people mostly ride scooters with large 200mm wheels. The Micro Speed ​​+ is also ideal because of its compactness. Adults can handle the larger and more comfortable ones well. Popular models are the Micro Black and Micro White 200 as well as all Micro Flex. New in 2020 are the Micro Downtown models with handbrake and the Micro Interlock with an integrated lock.

It doesn't matter whether the scooter has to be driven on asphalt or gravel. There is a suitable model for every surface. Most of the models are intended for asphalt because the scooter is almost always used there. One model is perfect for gravel and shingle: the Micro Flex Air. Thanks to the pneumatic tires you can drive comfortably. The Micro Flex Air is slower on asphalt. This is particularly noticeable when driving uphill. With the Micro Flex you have a good alternative for all surfaces. The soft footboard is flexible and the hard rubber wheels are quick.

Do you need the scooter for long distances or just from the car to the apartment? The distance is important. If you want to cover long distances, we always recommend a scooter with 200mm wheels. If you want to use the scooter primarily in combination with public transport, the scooter should be compact. The Speed ​​+ with its low weight and small dimensions is ideal for this. If you have to overcome inclines, you should use large hard rubber tires and not pneumatic tires. If you live on a hill, an additional brake like in the Micro Downtown has proven effective.
