Tip #2: Practice Smart Scooting (Protect Those Noggins!)

Scooting smartly should always be a top priority—especially for beginner and young riders. Invest in a quality helmet (like this one!) and additional scooter flair (like this!) to stay visible while riding.

Additionally, it’s important to teach riders basic scooting safety rules, such as: 

• • Riding only on sidewalks or paved, flat trails

  • Looking both ways before crossing the street

  • Riding only in the daytime

  • Always looking up while scooting

  • Applying the brake when riding downhill

  • Scooting with a buddy or a parent
    

Tip #3: Find the Right Spot to Scoot

One of the best things about scooting is the freedom to explore your surroundings. Your neighborhood, local parks, and nearby trails provide endless opportunities for active family fun.

Just be sure to choose pedestrian-friendly areas with smooth surfaces for optimal scooting conditions. 

Tip #4: Store Your Scooter Properly

When you’re not out enjoying scooting adventures, proper storage is essential to keep your Micro scooters organized and in good condition. Your Micro scooter is happiest in a dry, cool environment, like a garage or mudroom. 

For extra-convenient storing, check out our foldable scooters! Or, consider investing in our Scooter Pegs to keep your Mini or Maxi Scooters off the ground and out of the way. 

Tip #5: Embrace the Scooting Lifestyle

Finally, don’t be afraid to fully embrace the scooting lifestyle! 

Take advantage of sunny days by going scooting together! Whether you’re exploring new trails or racing down the sidewalk, the shared experience of scooting creates lasting memories and fun bonding opportunities for the entire family. 

Encourage your family to get creative—whether it’s participating in scooter races, inventing new tricks, or organizing scooter-themed scavenger hunts. The possibilities are endless when you let your imagination soar (parents, you too!) on your Micro Kickboard scooters!

Scooting as a family offers a great opportunity to create lasting memories and build connections. By following these helpful tips, you’ll be ready to enjoy countless scooting adventures together. So grab your helmets, hop on your scooters, and let the good times roll!
