Exploring Today,
Protecting Tomorrow
How our premium Micro scooters fight the "throwaway society" through quality, repairability, and innovation.
We Are Fighting the Throwaway Society
At Micro, we don't just manufacture scooters; we are dedicated to protecting our planet. In a world dominated by fast consumption, our products are characterized by exceptionally high quality and durability.
From strictly selected raw materials to rigorous testing procedures, quality and safety are our top priorities. We are constantly striving to reduce our ecological footprint by optimizing the entire Micro scooter value chain—including the reduction of plastics and the use of FSC-certified paper for our packaging.
Even a Dutch Bridge Cannot Break a Micro Scooter
Unbelievable but true: Our scooters are built to withstand almost anything.
- The Bridge Story: During a family vacation in Maastricht, Netherlands, a Micro scooter was accidentally trapped in a closing lifting bridge. For half an hour, the scooter was crushed between the mechanism. When the bridge lifted again, the scooter was freed—completely undamaged.
- 22 Years of Adventure: A customer in the Czech Republic recently shared that he inherited his father's Micro scooter, which is now 22 years old. With just a simple replacement of the wheels and grips, the scooter is ready for the next generation. This is the definition of longevity.
Repairing Instead of Throwing Away
Contrary to today’s throwaway culture, Micro products are designed to last. Our kids' products, like the Micro Mini2Grow, are used for an average of six years—far longer than the few hours a fast-food toy is played with.
To ensure your Micro scooter has an above-average lifespan, we offer:
- A Unique Repair Service: We prioritize repairing over replacing.
- Global Spare Parts: Thanks to our worldwide service network, we guarantee professional maintenance and the availability of spare parts for every product.
- Resource Protection: By extending the life of our scooters, we help protect valuable natural resources and keep waste out of landfills.
The Micro ECO Product Line: Giving Ocean Waste a Second Life
An estimated 640,000 tons of fishing nets end up in the ocean every year. With our ECO Scooter line, we are turning this problem into a solution.
Recovery:
We collect discarded plastic waste, including fishing nets, ropes, and other reclaimed materials from the maritime industry.
Processing:
This waste is cleaned, processed, and turned into high-quality recycled plastic raw material.
Production:
The recycled material is used to produce the decks and brakes of our ECO scooters.
A Proud Member of 1% for the Planet
We recognize that global environmental challenges are too great for one person or company to solve alone. That is why Micro donates 1% of the sales from our ECO product line to non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting the environment.
Supporting Ocean Education:
In partnership with organizations like Parley, we support educational programs, promote ocean conservation, and help empower a network of leaders called "Ocean Guardians."
