Mini Micro Questions & Answers

Hi Tanja,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Currently she is best suited the Mini Micro Deluxe scooter. It is a very lightweight scooter weighing just 1.9 kg so will be easy for her to maneuver and carry, it uses a lean to steer principle which will help develop her balance and co-ordination skills as well as having an adjustable handle bar so you can set it to the most comfortable height for her.

Given that she is 104 cm tall however it may not be too long before she out grows this scooter - it is suited for kids up to 110cm tall.

So you potentially may want to look at the the next model up which is the Maxi Micro. This scooter is designed for aged 5 - 12 (however there are younger kids out there that ride this model) and for kids 110cm tall and above.

It uses the same lean to steer principle and is just a bigger more robust version of the Mini.

It is a slightly heavier scooter at 2.6 kg but may be light enough for her to carry if needed.

Hi Tanja,

You're very welcome. It's not that the Mini Classic isn't a good option, you just don't have the benefit of being able to adjust the height of the handle bar.

We actually no longer carry the Mini Classic in Australia as we have superseded it with the Deluxe version but there may still be some retailers out there that still have some.

Ah okay, that sounds like a good idea.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for your question.

For a small 3 year old out of the two options I would recommend the mini micro deluxe.

The adjustable handle bars give it a longer life cycle so that as he grows the height can be set to the perfect level.

The mini micro deluxe also has a silicon injected deck providing slightly more grip in comparison to the sporty.

The sporty also does not have the adjustable handle bars.

Hope that helps but any other question you may have please let me know at [email protected]

Hi, thanks for your question.
Both the mini micro and the mini micro deluxe have a maximum handle bar height of 67cm and is recommended for children up to 110cm high.
The deluxe does have the ability to adjust the handle bar height as opposed the to mini micro so is great for growing children.
The deluxe also has a silicon injected deck which provides slighlty more grip and has an anodised metallic finish.
Both scooters use a lean to steer function which is a great way to develop balance and motor skills, and have high quality non marking polyurethane wheels.
They are both extremely light at 1.9kg so are perfect for the novice user to easily maneuver around.
With him being this height he may not need the adjustable handlebars, however the deluxe does give you the added features as mentioned above.
Hope that helps.

Hi Messy,

The Mini Micro Original isn't being discontinued, we're just offering different options for different users. The Mini Micro Original is still an award winning classic, and one of our favourites. We're not going to be getting rid of it any time soon, so please be assured if you're still wanting to go with the original, you're getting an excellent scooter :) If you did want to chat about exchanges please email us on [email protected]

Hi there,

There are a number of subtle differences between the original Mini Micro, and its follow up model the Sporty.

The Sporty, is produced through German manufactures and introduces the new reinforced brake. This features a pin through the deck, which supports the system a little more than it's predecessor. They have also changed a number of areas including the steering mechanism and wheels to give lighter, more responsive handling to the scooter; which is why it is the 'Sporty' version, and not necessarily as much of a beginners product as the original Mini - hence the age difference.

The 'Sporty' version can be a little hard to pick up for younger children, and is not recommended for first time users.

Hope this helps!
