Micro Scooters America Mini Micro Scooter, Blue
The Mini scooter is the quality scooter for young children. Its unique ‘lean-and-steer’ design allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving kids the feeling of ‘surfing’ the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard, adding an element of fun and control that young children love.
The Mini scooter is designed with 3 wheels for greater stability and control. The Italian-made wheels, of highest quality PU create a wonderfully smooth glide — and a quiet ride (a joy for parents and children alike!).
The kickboard is low-to-the-ground and large enough for both feet, making it easy for young children to hop on and off and to switch from pushing, to just enjoying the ride.
The ‘spoon’ brake at the back adds additional control, and kids like it because its just like the ‘big kid’ scooters.
For parents, the Mini scooter’s light weight (only 3.3lbs), means it’s easy to pick up and carry when need be.

I'm not even quite sure what my son is saying about the scooter, but hopefully you can see he likes it alot and has a bunch of fun with it!
We recently purchased this scooter new online from Microstore USA, and could not be happier. Microstore shipped it quickly, the shipping was free, and it was as exactly described. We also paid less for it than the $[...] price listed by the sponsored vendor on Amazon.
As others have noted, this is NOT made by Huffy, but by Micro, a Swiss company. We actually purchased this scooter to replace our Huffy one which we had had for about 3 years. At the time we purchased the Huffy one, we had no idea that it was a knock off of one made by Micro. Our Huffy one was fine, but the plastic did chip off in quite a few places and the brake tore off a while ago.
While it remains to be seen whether our new Micro brand is more durable, I have to say from the outset that it handles much better than the Huffy one ever did. Just by putting my weight on it and leaning from side to side, I can see that the turning properties are far superior to the Huffy one. If you are unfamiliar with the scooter’s design, what makes it so fabulous is that it has two wheels in front and one in the back and by leaning one way or the other, your child can easily maneuver and turn and sway. I found it interesting in viewing the Microstore website that Micro also makes other 3 wheel scooters for bigger kids – models with more bells and whistles – lest you think that three-wheeled scooters are only for preschoolers.
One thing I was surprised and a bit disappointed about when I received the scooter is that, on the outside of the box, it says the scooter IS made in China. While it may have originally be designed and built in Switzerland, if the packaging is correct, it is now manufactured in China, just as the Huffy knockoff was. This is not to suggest that the quality is poor, but I think it should be known that it is NOT made in Switzerland.
Regardless, my son loves it, it was worth the $, we were happy with Microstore USA, and so far it appears to be a superior product to the Huffy model, not to mention, in my opinion, the best 3-wheeled scooter on the market.
UPDATE – May 2008 – The scooter is still going strong, no chips, hardly any wear, and my now-5 year old still loves it as much as he did on day one!
2nd UPDATE – JUNE 2009 – Still going strong, BUT…my son broke the brake on the end off. It is not difficult to do, and is why we bought this new scooter in the first place. If your child pushed the brake up, rather than down toward the tire, the metal can bend and break off and it is not repairable. I wish I had told my son this, as it happened with the last one we had, but I hadn’t. It is still usable, but with care since there is no brake to stop the scooter. I would advise you child NOT to push the brake up, but down only!
