Item Description

 Mini Kick Scooter from Kickboard USA - can handle up to 60lbs - a 3-wheeled, swiss design for kids ages 3-5

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 polyurethane wheels 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 two 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 is light weight (only 1.5kg), so it's easy to pick up and carry when need be.

The mini micro scooter makes scooting fun for young children at the same time as helping to develop their balance, co-ordination and motor skills.

The mini scooter is designed with a weight recommendation of 60lbs. Please note that the scooter displays a weight limit of 20kg (44 lbs). The reason for the discrepancy is that European standards dictate that weights are approved and displayed only in increments of 10 kg (22lbs), so the next available weight category of 30 kg, or 66 lbs, would have put the displayed recommended weight limit OVER its actual recommendation of 60 lbs.

The distance of the the handle bar from the kickboard deck is fixed and is 26.37 inches long, making it a comfortable height (some kids reach up and some reach down) for a wide range of sizes and ages.

More information about the mini scooter is as follows:

* The front wheels are 4-inch in diameter and the one in back is 3-inch.
* The two wheels in front are placed 8 inches apart for stability.
* The handle grips are a thick, durable, comfortable foam.
* The length of the deck is 300mm.

And, the best just got even better - the original mini scooter has been improved! The design team at the manufacturer, Micro-Mobility, in Switzerland, are always working to achieve ever-higher standards of excellence. They have recently added a reinforced brake, stronger U-bar, and a new locking pin for easy handlebar removal.
