| | Description | Kickboard USA is the official distributor for Micro-Moblity, Switzerland, makers of the Mini Kick scooter for kids ages 3-5, 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 younger children 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. | |

FANTASTIC...seriously. Jan 30, 2010
By Katharine M. Nitti
This is the best scooter...our girls both got one for Christmas and as its 18 degrees out, they ride them inside( around and around the kitchen island...LOL...not a big space, but still fun for them until they could be outside), and it is quiet and SO good for our oldest's coordination...the younger (4) could ride ANYTHING skillfully within seconds, but our 5 year old is a bit less physically quick to find her balance etc. BUT... our oldest was riding it like a pro within minutes, and they both love love love riding them. These scooters are small and light but sturdy and so well made (SO awesome). They have a brake in the back that is super easy to use (also a cool feature) and the scooter itself CAN tip over, but the way its built makes it so it isn't tippy and so a child getting their balance will be ok. It doesn't tip over unless a kid literally falls somehow, and it takes little to no balance to ride them once the initial few moments of getting on the thing is over. Otherwise, it balances itself great. I would buy these again and again, and when they get older, we will get the larger size. Thank goodness my sister told me that these were what my nephews had and they were light years better than the other scooters they had owned and their friends had. Her boys are REALLY active and rode those things hard, but they LOVED them, and SHE loved them, and she said every friend that saw them asked her for the info because although most of them had scooters, they weren't as safe while still having all the fun of a scooter. If you want a scooter, THIS is the scooter for your younger kid...OR get the larger size for your bigger kid. I have nothing but RAVES for this scooter. Not one single "love this, BUTTTTT...." They have been 100% fantastic.

 Steering not foldable or extendable Apr 13, 2011
By Swamy Viswanathan
The product is well made. However it should be noted that the product has some shortcomings (if they are of any importance to you):
1. The steering is not foldable. In other words, it does not fold down in a nice compact way like the Razor scooters do.
2. The steering is not extendable. It is a one size device.
I did not know these prior to purchase since none of the other reviewers mentioned it. It is not too much of a problem, but it was certainly a bit disappointing for me given that this is more than twice the price of other scooters and yet lacks these basic features.
As other reviewers have mentioned, depending on your child, it could take some time to master. The downside to the "lean to one side to steer in that direction" is also that the turning radius is very large. Unlike other scooters, this makes sharp turns difficult to do.

Best little scooter on the planet Feb 06, 2010
By Sarah B. Bradley
We had one of these for my son which we handed down to my daughter before buying it in pink, new, for her. All the kids on our block have them and they are totally awesome. Best for steering, balance, stability. Would buy again and again.

Fantastic little machine Dec 30, 2009
By Scott
The first time you take this out and slot the bar in (1 simple step assembly), it is hard not to be impressed by how cool this scooter is. The steering-by-leaning is a nifty technical set-up and has been very quickly mastered by my three year old. She had no experience with this sort of thing, but was flying around within minutes.

Stroller is so 1 1/2 y-o! Nov 15, 2010
By i
My 2 y-o tried this scooter at the playground. He flew away since the first minute. And he can make turns very easily too. This scooter is his favorite toy ever. My older kid has a radio flyer to compare - it's too heavy... useless. The mini kick is expensive but my son plays with it every day. He goes with me to restaurants, stores and playgrounds with this scooter - stroller is so 1 1/2 y-o! :)
I was glad to pay for a toy like that. After all, I got a maxi scooter for my older kid.
About the color: it's beautiful for boys or girls.
