Here at Shorties, we are massive fans of these sturdy little scooters,They are the perfect introduction to your little ones mobility and independence. Suddenly your life will go back to a faster pace, getting to the park will halve in time.

Mini Micro Scooters are a great way to help develop balance, co-ordination and motor skills.

Kids LOVE these scooters!

The original 3 wheel design combined with the lean and steer action ensures safety and stability for young children. It enables them to learn to use their body weight and balance to steer.

Features:
3 wheel design for stability
Wide non-slip deck
Low to the ground
Quality non-marking wheels
Suitable for indoors / outdoors
Lean and steer action
Removable handlebars
Available in Pink, Blue, Orange, Red, Yellow and Green
Age Range: 2+ (pair with the micro kick seat - coming soon) for younger kids.
Max Load: 35kg*
Scooter weighs: 1.5kg

* Please not the bottom of the scooter shows a weight limit of 20kg, the Mini Micro is designed with a weight recommendation of 35kg. The reason for the difference: European standards dictate that weights are displayed as 20, 50 or 100kg.

Shorties Kid, Leo, 3 years.

Look at little Leo and don't you love a camera smile!, We are big Leo fans in Shorties, He is one articulate little fellow and plays so happily while his mum has a shop.

I really loved the way he popped some of the people from the toy ferry into the sailing boat and set them free for a sail around the room. C
