With spring being in full bloom, the pavements and the streets become more crowded and come to life. It is the perfect time to get the micro scooter out of the garage, or look for one at micro scooters Australia based stores, and teach your kids how to have fun with it. Actually, there is not much to teach them about micro scooters, besides maybe the way to use the brakes and of course, the safety rules. Follow my short and comprehensive tips.

The Safety Rules

• Make sure to always wear a helmet when scooting for the sake of protection, especially if scooting near roads.

• Never, ever even think about scooting on the road. Not even for a second. There are too many big cars and trucks and it is too dangerous.

• No matter what, always stop at kerbs. Bend your knees and press firmly on the brake to stop your scooter.

• When crossing the road, stop, look and listen. Make sure it is safe to cross on the other side.

• When scooting on darker evenings, it is a must that you have all the needed requisites to be seen and heard. Add a bell and light to your micro scooter and do not leave the house without wearing reflective clothing.

Now that we have covered some of the basic safety rules, it is only logical to mention the must have features of good micro scooters Australia retailers offer. It should have durable rubber grips, an adjustable handlebar, a double rear wheel, lean to steer mechanism, it should be long about 33cm and tall from 68 to 92cm. Plus, it should come in a variety of colour options so that your kids can choose their favourite ones.

The Benefits

• Riding a micro scooter will help your kids improve their balance and coordination skills. This is something they will have to learn on their own because there is nothing left to be done once they’re up on it scooting.

• Riding a micro scooter will promote a feeling of independence in your kids. Once on it, they will be able to ride around and explore the neighbourhood. Of course, only if you allow them to do so.

• It is a great means for recreation – something that kids really need for their proper physical development.

However, micro scooters are not beneficial for kids only. You can freely jump on one and just free your mind of all the negative vibes. Put on a casual outfit, earphones on – world off. And also, do you remember the scene from Sex and the City of Carrie having fun with her date’s micro scooter right in the middle of Times Square? She looked so thrilled – all smiley and giggling, unbelievably happy to have her hands on a such fun ride. The point here? Micro scooters Australia (and as a matter of fact worldwide) adventurers know the thrill and are not afraid to enjoy the perks that come with owning a piece of this timeless means of transportation. Just go for a ride, I bet you’ll love it!
