Micro Kickboard - Micro Classic, Two Wheeled Scooter, Fold-to-Carry, Swiss-Designed for Ages 13+

Never in a million years did I ever think I'd be spending almost [...]on a scooter!! But feeling left out watching my niece and nephew grow up on thier razor's and now my 3 year old daughter starting to ride, I didnt want to feel left out again. Heck, We didnt have scooters growing up in the 80's :((The razor with 98mm sized wheels, for me as an adult, not even being considered. They are too small and too flimbsy. I was considering the Razor A3 with the 125mm wheelset until I rode one in walmart and noticed no real difference. Then I was considering the razor version of an adult scooter the A5 with the 200mm wheelset. But by this time razor not sitting well with me so I will pass on them completely.While reading through reviews of the A5 on Amazon, someone mentioned the xootr and also the Micro Black and Micro White high-end adult/commuter kick scooters. I never knew there were high-end kick scooters out there. Than I hit youtube and was hooked.I bought a micro black to try it out with the intention of getting my wife a micro white if the black did indeed work out. And it did. But instead of getting the Micro White I got the xootr (for me). Thats another review.The difference between the razor and the micro is night and day and about [...] extra but what you get is absolute perfection.Looks 10 out of 10. Gotta admit the micro is georgous. By far the best looking scooter out there. Matt black on black with orange and blue graphics. Same with the micro white. Awsome finishing touches like the blue locking bolt, blue micro logo's blue logo on grip ends. I cant take my eyes off of it.Craftmanship 10 out of 10. Perfect. Folds and unfolds effortlessly. Front wheel lines up with handle bar straight 90deg. Nothing is loose when shaking the unit. Very well built.The ride 10 out of 10. Very, very smooth. This is defintily the Audi of scooters. Im 6ft and the t bar raised up to the perfect height for me. My body is not leaned over the front of the scooter and I dont feel like I'm going to die when riding it, like I do on the razors. The ride is very stable, not shakey at all. The deck sits very low to the ground making kicking more efficient.The 200mm wheels roll over just about anything a sidewalk can throw at it. The tires are a very soft compound rated at 78a. Micro definitly made a conscience decision to go with a more softer, comfortable, grip the road compound. The tradeoff: you give up some speed for comfort. But dont fret, this is by no means a "slow" scooter and the design of the scooter more than compensates for most speed loss due to the softer wheel compound.I kinda cheated on the speed. I swapped out the ABEC 5 Bearings for bones swiss, and couldnt be happier. (We had a pair of inlines I put together a few years ago with the swiss bearings already installed) If the heart of the scooter is the wheelset why skimp on the most important part? The bearings!! I would recommend swapping out for better 8mm bearings.The last finishing touch that really won me over was the mini kick stand that actually works. I guess if your gonna spend this kind of money why slam it to the ground and scratch it all up. Why dont all scooters have kick stands?The foot board is definitly wider than a standard razor but not wide enough for me to lay both feet comfortably at the same time. I wear size 10 US. There is a couple of inches to spare in the lenght of the board. A size 11 would be fine. I just rest my kicking foot on my toes at the rear of the board almost ready to press on the break.Women with smaller feet will have no problems.I will close out by saying that, even though its a bit expensive compared to the razors, you cant go wrong choosing the micro black or white. It looks awesome, its well built and rides extremely smooth. My wife and I dont let the kids dont touch our scooters. I really should give this a 4 because of price but I will give 5 just based on the actual scooter not price.

We are HUGE FANS of Kickboard Scooters. My three sons (8, 6 and 4) all have them. Several of our friends have also purchased after trying ours. These are simply the best scooters for kids. We are an outdoor family and live near trails and my youngest prefers his scooter for these longer rides. Since getting on and off my bike for 'emergencies' and road crossings just is too awkward and even speed walking I can't keep up with my kids (they are super fast on the scooters), I decided to get a scooter. I was concerned about stability. I tried another brand scooter and did not like the ride at all? It almost deterred me from getting a scooter altogether because I thought all two-wheeled scooters would be too wobbly. This one is AWESOME. Very stable, fast and durable. I love that it is foldable for portability and easy storage. The handlebar height is adjustable. I am 5'6 and 1/2 and I ride at max height. The steering control is firm but also allows for quick direction changes (great for riding with kids at varying speeds) and the platform is thick and durable. The wheels are rugged and allow for riding over various terrain. Our road is rough, old asphalt and the scooter glides over with just a little bumpiness. The ride is super smooth over regular asphalt and sidewalks. We have one area where there is thick sand covering a section of the sidewalk and that seems to be the only thing it can't go handle.I did a lot of research before purchasing because there are several different adult sized scooters avail from Kickboard. I originally thought I should purchase a 3-wheel model (Monster) because I knew I would be going over multiple surfaces and wanted the most stability but after speaking with Kickboard customer service, this was the clear choice for my needs because it's faster than the 3-wheelers and allows for faster changes which is perfect for attending to kids. It is so smooth and stable , I can ride with both feet on the deck and cruise next to my almost 4 year old. The back end brake is perfect and easy to use for stopping or slowing down (like when one of my boys accidentally cuts in front or when we a cruising down super steep hills). It is light too so if I need I can hop off and carry it as I help my boys cross intersections. The added kickstand is a nice touch for those times when we pull over for water breaks or shoe tying since I can keep the scooter off the ground and prevent scratching.The Kickboard USA customer service is fantastic so I knew I could trust whichever scooter I purchased from them! So glad amazon has their products offered through Prime shipping! Seriously this things is perfect, I just wish I had ordered it sooner!
