Product Description

Kickboard USA is the official distributor for Micro-Moblity, Switzerland, makers of the Mini Kick scooter for kids ages 2-5, the Maxi Kick scooter for kids ages 5-10, and a full line of quality scooters for teens and adults. The Mini Kick is the quality choice in children's scooters. In 2011 the Mini was awarded the Parent's Choice Approved Seal and in 2009, it won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy. The Mini also was named 'Best Pre-School Scooter' by Toy Report, 'Best Outdoor Toy' by Learning Express Stores and was featured on the NBC Today Show as part of its 'Best Toys for Summer' series. What makes the Mini unique is its quality construction and 'lean-and-steer' design, which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving them the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard. The lean-and-steer adds an element of stability and fun, great for learning balance and coordination. The Mini's 3 wheels make it easy for even the youngest kids to ride. The youngest kids will normally start riding in a straight line but learn quite quickly, almost intuitively, to gently lean, in order to steer. The older kids (ages 4 and 5) become very proficient, curving right and left as they 'surf' the sidewalk. The rear brake adds to the safety and fun. The Mini can be ridden inside while learning (or waiting for Spring) as the Italian made wheels are non marking. The wheels and shock absorbent deck work in unison to provide an incredibly smooth, quiet ride, a joy for parents and children alike. The mini's light weight (only 3.3 lbs), makes it easy for young kids to control and convenient for parents to pick up and carry when need be. Weight limit 44lbs. Children love to ride the mini kick daily, year after year and the modular construction means that all parts are replaceable, so it can last, virtually forever.

Customer Reviews

It's amazing to watch the culmination of mind and body coordination develop from crawling, walking, running, pedaling, and now scooting of our 2-1/2 year-old. He literally took to this in less than a day! The overall design and construction appears high Swiss quality. Even with tricycling for about 3 months, he still hasn't quite got steering L/R down, so the scooter's "lean and steer" mechanism allows for more freedom to roll around without the fear of a sudden sharp turn causing a crash. The polyurethane wheels offer a smooth glide both indoors and outdoors. There's a rear spoon brake for additional control. The floorboard is very low to the ground, and coupled with its three-wheeled design, offers great stability. For three-wheeled scooters, I recommend the 2-front, 1-rear design for ease of use/learning, because if it has 2 wheels in the rear, they can get in the way of the rider's push-off foot. Also, please have the rider always wear appropriate protection pads (helmet, elbows, knees, etc.). With proper use, it's as much fun for them to scoot as it is for you to watch, if not more!

My daughter who is three loves this scooter and can't ride it often enough. It really helps her balance and learning left/right as we're constantly telling her go left go right at the park.
