Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Micro Maxi is designed for growing riders aged 5 to 12 who are ready for a larger scooter while still benefiting from the stability of our three-wheel, lean-to-steer design. It’s an excellent next step for kids who have outgrown the Mini or are starting their scooter journey at an older age.
Every Maxi Scooter features an adjustable T-bar that grows with your child, providing a comfortable fit through multiple stages of childhood. While the scooter supports riders up to 110 lbs, its deck size and handlebar range are specifically engineered for kids in this age group.
If your child is ready for longer rides, greater independence, and a scooter designed to last for years, the Maxi is built to grow right alongside them.
-
For most 5-year-olds, we recommend a Micro Maxi Scooter. While some children at this age can comfortably ride either model, the Maxi’s larger size and taller handlebar range mean they’ll be able to enjoy it for many more years as they grow.
The Maxi’s adjustable handlebars extend from 26.25” to 35.75”, and we generally recommend positioning them around belly-button height for the most comfortable steering and control.
The Maxi also features a wider deck and a higher handlebar range designed for growing riders, making it an excellent choice for children who are ready for longer rides, greater independence, and years of adventures ahead.
If your child is on the smaller side for their age or is new to scooting, the Mini Scooter can still be a great fit. But for most 5-year-olds, the Maxi offers the best combination of comfort today and room to grow tomorrow.

A Micro scooter is designed to last far beyond a single season. While lower-cost scooters are often replaced as parts wear out or break, most Micro scooters stay in use for years and are frequently passed down to younger siblings, family members, and friends.
Built with premium materials and precision-engineered components, every Micro Maxi is designed for durability, comfort, and a smoother ride. Our lean-to-steer design also helps riders perfect their balance and coordination naturally.
If a part eventually wears out, there’s no need to replace the entire scooter. We offer replacement parts for every scooter we make, allowing you to refresh wheels, grips, brakes, and more.
The result is a scooter that grows with your child, lasts for years, and delivers more value over time. That’s why Micro continues to earn recognition from trusted experts like Wirecutter, Parents, Forbes, and The Strategist, and why so many families choose Micro for their daily rides.

The Maxi Scooter is engineered to deliver a noticeably smoother, quieter ride than other scooters, making every outing more enjoyable.
It starts with premium materials. Thick, high-quality polyurethane wheels and precision ABEC 9 bearings reduce friction for an exceptionally smooth glide, while the flexible deck is designed to absorb vibrations from uneven sidewalks. Instead of feeling every bump, riders experience a more stable and comfortable ride.
Many lower-cost scooters use harder wheels and stiffer materials that create more vibration and noise over time. By reducing those distractions, the Micro Maxi helps kids ride with greater confidence and enjoy longer adventures.
It’s one of the details many families notice immediately, and one of the reasons so many riders stick with Micro year after year.

Unlike traditional scooters that turn by twisting the handlebars, the Micro Maxi turns when riders shift their body weight from side to side. To go left, they lean left. To go right, they lean right.
Micro designed this lean-to-steer system to help riders actively develop balance, coordination, and motor skills while they ride. Because turns happen gradually through body movement, many riders find it feels stable and intuitive.
Most children adapt to the steering style after just a few practice rides. If your child has previously used a traditional scooter, there may be a short adjustment period as they learn to lean instead of twist the handlebars. For first-time riders, however, lean-to-steer often feels natural right from the start.
