jollymummy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Can anyone offer any advice? My soon to be 6 year old is ready for the next scooter up from mini micro. He wants a two wheeled rather than the maxi micro. I have friends who say the Micro Sprite is not that great quality and so I am looking at alternatives, including Razor. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any scooters that stand out for build quality?Many thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarder Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi - my 5 year old has a 'grit' stunt scooter - I think this one - http://www.skates.co.uk/scooters/gritfluxx2scooter-team-yellow.html - it seems pretty sturdy. He also liked the stunt microscooter - http://www.micro-scooters.co.uk/scooters-model-mx-stunt/micro-mx-trixx-scooter-black.html but he the yellow of the grit one won him over!There is a tiny little shop in west wickham which is great for information and has a good selection of scooters. The key thing they said to us was that basically if a scooter folds, it has an inherent weakness at the point it folds, so avoid if you're going to be doing more than cruising the streets. We take our little boy to the skate park at the cyclopark on a sunday morning for their under 8's session and he loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollymummy Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thx for your post. Had been reading that its probably better to get one that doesn't fold but hubby is balking at the thought of packing it in the car for travel. I am looking at the Razor Ultra lo pro which seems to offer most things. Will try and check out the shop in WW. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarder Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Re packing in the car - 2 wheelers are obv much easier than 3 as they can at least pack flat as you can actually turn the handlebars. I'm not sure really if you would ever bother folding them even if you could... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
