- "We recently went on line to get some spare parts and I am blown away by how prompt the package was in arriving. Amazing service. Thanks to the great instructions on the website, I was able to change back wheel, brake and handles with ease. My 5 year old is so excited about the prospect of riding his new revamped scooter to kinder tomorrow. Thank you so much - brilliant product!"
-Tom O. 24/5/12
- "The whole family are enjoying scooting together.You will not believe the queries my wife has had while scooting with our daughter to school.The white adult scooter really stands out. As a result, some adults have already stopped my wife just to tell her that they have acquired the micro scooter themselves. Some have even shouted enquiry from their cars while driving past. I must admit that these scooters are very useful for us as a family. The neighbour takes their children to the same school in their car. By the time they walk through the school entrance my wife and daughter scoot through the entrance at the same time. It is a real money saver. I will be considering another unit in the near future, as my wife does in excess of 10km a day...that is in excess of 3000km a year...so her scooter will need an upgrade sometime.Just incase you are wondering...our car is available for my wife to use, but she prefers scooting for the exercise and for the fun...she is known to many as 'Scooter Mum'.Thank you for your good customer service thus far."
- Harry P. 8/8/12

- Elly D. 14/8/12
- "Thanks so much for your excellent customer service. I actually bought this for my mum - she's turning 65 and wants to go scootering with her grandchildren - yes, still a child a heart. I was super impressed by the fast processing and delivery time will definitely go through you guys again for any of my scootering needs in the future."
- Brandon L. 12/10/12
- "I love my new scooter! even had my 70 year old mother on it yesterday, and think my hubbie is going to get one too - thinking of doing some 'tricks' together."
- Helen C. 26/10/12
- "I think your products are the best ever. My little girl uses her scooter continually. Tomorrow we're off to the opera house for lunch. She'll use it so we can walk to the train station (and not have her complain for us to slow down or she is tired) and then once we get into the city and back home again. It comes EVERYWHERE with us"
- Samantha Y. 26/10/12
- "I just wanted to say what excellent service I received in regard to the purchase of a pink maxi micro scooter for our daughter...It was so easy to order online, and the free delivery was fantastic - it even arrived prior to the date I was expecting it to arrive!
Our younger daughter already has a maxi, and both our daughters love it, so we thought it's time to buy our older daughter one of her own!!
They are the BEST scooters!"
- Karen R. 6/11/12

The Prize of Prizes 2008
Companies cannot enter for the Design Award; instead, they are nominated by the Ministries and Senators for Trade & Industry of the German States or by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. It is a precondition for this, however, that a product has already been awarded a national or international prize. This is the case of G-BIKE.

In the UK, the Mini-Micro is the success story for two mothers, Anna Gibson and Philippa Gogarty in 2004. It was initially sold around the country by a network of mums and is now stocked in stores nationwide, including John Lewis and the Early Learning Centre.

It proves what we all know, that the scooter really is a must for every child under the age of 6 years," say Anna and Philippa. www.natll.org.uk

Indeed, design represents the successful combination of technical know-how and innovation as well as of new products and product refinements in keeping with the brand. In a sea of products, quality characteristics that presuppose reputability, integrity and expertise are in great demand - and the iF seal of design quality also represents a decision-making aid for the consumer.
The evaluation criteria for the EUROBIKE AWARD are as follows:
Degree of innovation; Design quality; Workmanship; Choice of materials; Environmental friendliness; Functionality; Ergonomics; Utility value; Safety; Brand value/Branding.

Stiftung Warentest
96 per cent of all Germans are familiar with Stiftung Warentest. One third of them rely on its test results when making important purchasing decisions. Following a resolution of the German Bundestag the Foundation was established on 4th December 1964, with the aim of providing independent and objective support for consumers by means of comparative investigations of goods and services. In addition the Foundation gives advice both about optimal household budgeting and use of income and also provides information for promoting a healthy, environmentally aware lifestyle. Thereby the highest priority is given to impartiality, so that consumers can be informed objectively. For this reason, in accordance with its statutes the Foundation is not allowed to earn money with advertisements in its publications. It therefore receives an annual compensatory payment from the federal government that amounts to about 12 per cent of its budget. It largely finances itself by selling its own publications. As an independent foundation under civil law it has a free hand it the planning and development of tests and the application of its test criteria
