riES
our ranges of accessories have been designed with parents and children in mind. Here are our top 5 suggestions this Spring...
1 Helmets from £19.95
An essential part of any child’s scooting equipment. Our Micro helmets are designed to be fun as well as practical. With designs ranging from dots to dinosaurs, patterns to plain and everything in between. They are suitable for both scooter and bike riding.

2 Micro Bags from £14.95
We offer a great range of Micro bags that fit any 3in1, Mini, Maxi or Sprite Micro scooter. Great for carrying those essential items while scooting, and are easily removed from the scooter to be taken with you when you discover a new place.
3 Wheel Whizzers from £6.99

SCootEr Mot Give your scooter an MOT this Spring Like any car or bicycle, your scooter needs tLC in order to stay running smoothly. Here's a quick guide on things to check: 1. Spray bearings with WD40 regularly to keep them free from any grit or dirt that may cause them to jam. 2. Check and tighten all bolts regularly. 3. Regularly check the brake to ensure it is working efficiently. 4. Handle grips a little worn?? Our top tip for putting them on is hairspray!! This gives some play to get the handle grip in place and then dried leaving no residue. Never ever use lubricant as this may have an effect on the rubber itself and can leave a ‘slippy’ residue. We now sell our handle grips in singles which means you can mix and match colours to create your own bespoke scooter!
Online guides Have a look at our instructional videos to help you when replacing parts. Check them out here

Don’t panic!
If you do find something worn, we stock a range of replacement parts for your scooter which means you can substitute the part easily, getting you back out on your scooter quickly! Click here to view our replacement parts section on our website

3 Things
to do with your scooter this Easter
Easter Egg Hunt
However you celebrate Easter, why don’t you create an Easter Egg Hunt for your friends to do on scooters? Using your scooter is a great way of burning up all those extra calories and means you’ll be able to hunt faster too!
Scooter Nature Hunt
This is a great way to explore when you’re out & about in parks or woods on your Micro scooter. Take your picnic and ‘Hunters Kit’…you’ll need plastic tubs and bags for things. Maybe a magnifying glass, and certainly the list of ‘finds’ you must discover on your adventure - slugs, ants, pine cones, squirrel to name but a few. See the link here for some ideas on how to organise and record your findings.
Visit a Scooter Park
Did you know that the techniques used for skateboarding can also be used on scooters? So why don’t you visit a local skateboard park to pick up some hints and tips? Click here to find a skate park near you.
