From Paris to Porto: discovering the world on wheels
Our love for scooters began about six years ago – somewhere between baguettes and curbs. We were on a road trip through the South of France, with tired little legs and way too much curiosity. The rescue came from our neighbour: two Micro scooters to borrow. And just like that, we became part of the scooter crew.
Past the Louvre in Paris, across boules courts in Provence, or along the promenade in Porto – Micro is always with us. Scooters turn long walks into short rides, and the kids never get bored. Instead of complaining, they race ahead, scoot along beside us chatting – and the dreaded “Are we there yet?” has pretty much disappeared.
Sure, a few ground rules help when scooting around in traffic. But honestly? We’ve only ever had good experiences. At red lights, we stop without fuss, and with younger kids, it’s easy to keep pace on foot.
Quality that goes the distance
Smart Swiss design that delivers on every level: durable, sturdy, lightweight – and stylish enough to turn heads in front of your favourite café in Lisbon. These scooters can handle it all, from wild skate park sessions to daily rides over cobblestones.
What sets Micro apart isn’t just the look, but the kind of quality you can feel – from the very first push to the smallest screw. These scooters are built to grow with your child, adapt to everyday life and stick around for years. Many models allow you to replace wheels, brakes or handlebars, and there’s plenty of add-on gear to keep things fresh.
Which Micro scooter suits which age?
Here’s a quick and easy overview – so you can skip the search:
- Mini Micro 3in1 (from around age 1)
Starts off as a ride-on with seat and parent handle, then transforms into a classic scooter – perfect for those very first rides.
- Mini Micro Deluxe (ages 2–5)
A classic for little explorers: three wheels for extra stability, intuitive steering and a sturdy, kid-proof design.
- Maxi Micro Deluxe (ages 5–12)
For kids who already know their own way. Two front wheels add stability – even on cobblestones. This model grows with your child, looks great and rides smooth as ever.
- Micro Sprite or Cruiser (ages 6–14)
Foldable, stylish and lightweight – perfect for independent kids who want to explore the city, skate park or beach on their own. Bonus: it even fits under the air mattress in the trunk.
Micro: the smart travel buddy for families
Anyone who travels with kids knows: the right gear makes all the difference. Micro has designed scooters that aren’t just safe and kid-friendly, but also stand out for their design, quality and everyday practicality. Whether it’s the Mini, Maxi or Sprite – they roll with us through cities, along promenades, into skate parks and sometimes just to the next picnic blanket.
