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

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!"

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
