Maxi Micro Questions & Answers

Hi, My grandchildren rode their maxi scooters on gravel but they couldn't go as fast - depending on the gravel, it could be very slow. They also rode on our local footpaths which sometimes are not as smooth as could be. To be absolutely sure please go to the Micro Scooter website https://www.microscooters.com.au and ask the question. He may suggest one type of Micro Scooter over another. My four grandchildren LOVED their maxi scooters - One is 18 so she doesn't use her two wheeler very much, however, her younger brother or his friend use it while he or the friend use the Maxi. Hope this helps.

I think you should probably get a micro maxi rather than mini. I have 3 boys (9, 7 and 3). The older 2 have maxis and my little one (3 1/2)- who is not very tall, has a mini- he loves it but uses his older brother's maxis as well. It probably also depends on if you have other children or if you can hand down the mini to anyone? (As your son progresses to a maxi). If you are in that situation you could get a mini and he could use it for probably about a year before progressing to the maxi- then hand the mini down. I think most kids by 4 years would have outgrown the mini, particularly as your son is tall. I am sure he will love the scooter- can't get mine off them (even in the house!)

Just measured my littlest one (I had no idea!). 3 1/2 year old is 100 cm so same height as your Son.

I'm sorry but I've not purchased the micro kick board or micro 2 wheeler, I've only purchased the micro maxi 3 wheel scooters. I do recommend these, my now 4 and 3/4 year and 2 1/2 year old girls love. The 2 1/2 year old is particularly crazy with no fear on it and is also a keen bike rider with trainers. I find the scooter safer.

Thanks for your feedback.

B., we have both. My boy is almost 3 but a bit of a giant. I also have an 8 year old. Both of them use and like the mini micro. None of us like using the maxi micro - the steering doesn't seem to work as well. The adjustable handlebar height would be an advantage for sure, but our experience of the maxi micro isn't as positive as the smaller one. Cheers, Bruce.

We have both. My son handed his mini micro over to our daughter when he turned 5. He's on the tall side too and loves the maxi micro. You also have to consider the weight recommendations. Minis take up to 20 kg and the maxi takes up to 50 kg. We decided on the latter so our son could get good use out of it. He loves it, but he loved the mini too. I think the maxi suits him though, as it's a bit more robust and suits his size. He looks a little big on the mini.

Definitely the Maxi as he will be able to use it until he's 12ish. The mini will only last for another year - max! Unless you have a younger sibling to pass the Mini down to.
