Permit me: micro pedalflow, folding, 7 kg light, ideal in the city and for work. You really must ride the micro pedalflow: experience the ultimate fun factor, the manoeuvrable aluminium racer. And find out that your favourite fast food stand is only a third of the time away. The kickboard inventor Wim Ouboter originally also wanted to get to his favourite stand quicker. It was the beginning of an era of new mobility for millions of people. This genius is continued in the micro pedalflow. It gets you everywhere with a minimum of effort – regardless of whether you are a active sports freak or have no interest in sports.

Zurich - New York, there and back. Checking in the evening before is not going to happen. Time is short, just grab new batteries for your mp3 player, a sandwich and race for the gate. Two simple moves, and you‘ve converted your case into a kickboard® and glide casually past the crowds hurrying in confusion to reach your gate on time. No mistake, you‘re the main attraction, and you‘ve beaten the stress of it all. You then slip your case into the hand luggage compartment on board - easy and simple. A perfect trip, thanks to micro luggage.

24 Our micro success story? Well, once upon a time there was a king, a queen and Elisabeth, their beautiful, but unhappy daughter. She had every plaything in the world, but she sat bored in her pink room watching the older children riding their bicycles and skating. Elisabeth was much too small to join in... The queen wanted more than anything to make her daughter laugh, and she promised a golden video to anyone who succeeded in achieving this. A fiddler came and played his melodies, a storyteller told her his tales and a jester told her funny jokes. But Elisabeth didn‘t laugh. One day, a little boy with a really special vehicle came by. It wasn‘t a bicycle, but it also wasn‘t a skateboard. It had two wheels at the front and one at the back. The little boy saw how sad Elisabeth was, so he rode so quickly and with such skill that she was completely fascinated. „What do you call that thing? And how come this little boy can ride it so well?“ She ran into the courtyard and asked him. The boy smiled: „That‘s a mini micro. My father brought it back from a foreign country.“ „May I try it?“ asked Elisabeth, placing her foot on the deck and using the other one to push off. „Oh – this is really super! And it‘s so easy to do!“ she cried out, laughing loudly. The king and queen walked out into the courtyard and observed this miracle. „You shall receive the golden video“, said the queen to the little boy. He smiled: „Oh thank you, but you can keep your golden video – my mini micro is a lot more fun!“ The king was delighted and looked for and found the man who built the vehicles. He had micro Kickboards made for all the children in the kingdom – but that‘s not the end, but only the beginning of our story... We may not have a king, but nobody can describe the astonished expressions of parents when they first experience a micro scooter. And nobody can describe the irrepressible joy of the children who ride it... Thank you, dear micro Team: for the smiles of joy that you bring to Greek families – and for the hope that it gives us.

What do you do when, after four years of micro in Switzerland, last holding the position of Sales Manager for Asia, you have the chance to build up micro new in China? In the largest country on the planet – it‘s an opportunity you just can‘t turn down! It‘s simple: you convince your girlfriend that the idea‘s great, you move there and are delighted to be at home from now on in the same time zone as your customers ( but you unfortunately forget the e-mails and calls which from now on reach you at inopportune moments from Switzerland ). So we‘ve been living in China since 2010: a very interesting country with rapidly growing prosperity and seemingly inexhaustible possibilities. The Chinese already eat as much meat as the British. Things could get very tight with regard to pigs and cattle... On the positive side: the Chinese don‘t eat more than three times a day, so there is still money left over for fantastic new products like micro. Which brings us back to the business... and our partners here. I first divided up this enormous country. Two partners in Peking manage the north: Kelly and her family for kids‘ products, Mr Gao and his firm for sport and leisure. Their cooperation is perfect, and micro is developing fantastically there. The market is growing with equal speed in the east, because Shanghai is an international city that embraces everything new as if by magic. Our partners here are Xindan (a real Chinese lady), her husband Pascoe (from England, but he speaks Chinese) and their children Jasba and Annecy. We have terminated the partnership in the south. I have taken over the region myself and also engaged Bernhard Weber from Switzerland. He‘s an expert when it comes to Micro repairs and knows the product inside out – an enormous help. We will be moving to a larger building with storage rooms in 2012. We will then really get going here and grow rapidly. Will Barbara and I every go back? Sure we will. But don‘t ask me what month it will be – I‘m not even sure of the year. Cheers, Pascal – Micro China

What makes our mini seat stand out from the crowd? It‘s a multifunctional vehicle that can be enjoyed in three variants by children from the age of 1 to 5 years. It starts with one-year-old kiddies: they use their mini seat with the seat and O-handlebar as a mixture of a

And, when the child feels more confident on its feet at a later stage, the seat can be simply removed and the product used in a standing position. The shorter O-handlebar helps at first, with our mini micro being equipped later (after around three years) with the reliable T-bar as it grows with your child. The mini seat was the inspiration for development of the mini micro, a product which has received numerous awards and been voted Toy of the Year. Make way for the toddler express!

It‘s a different kind of school day: the Micro Scooter Kids Day gives children the chance to learn how to move with maximum safety on their scooters on a day-to-day level. Playing and fun helps them learn the scooter rules to follow in traffic. Kindergarten children or primary school pupils up to the sixth class can participate. The prerequisites are the same for all: helmet, elbow and knee pads are obligatory, with the required equipment and a micro® scooter being provided. The pupils learn to use their helmet, elbow and knee pads in the first part. Then braking, curve riding and falling techniques are demonstrated and practised. Kids also practise changing legs, balance and the slalom technique to improve their coordination. The inline pioneer, René Lauper-Perotti, acts as the training instructor at the Micro Scooter Kids Day. He has already trained and instructed more than

Over 10,000 athletes from more than 50 nations gathered in Shenzen, China on the 12th August. The Swiss team arrived with 133 delegation members and already caused a sensation at the flag raising ceremony which opened the event. Not only did the athletes roll through the village on a Kickboard where everybody else was walking, but the Kickboard itself excited a lot of attention among those present with its unusual design – a combination of the Swiss and Chinese flags. It was obvious that playful touches such as this would make Chinese hearts beat faster, so Micro also equipped the Chinese team with the rolling eye-catcher.

Hey. I‘m Benjamin Friant, 21 years of age from near Montreux / Switzerland. Just like many of my friends, I was a passionate follower of the skateboard trend in 2004. But only a year later I took up scooting. I bought a micro scooter and used it for going to school and doing little tricks. I first thought I was the only trick fan, until I saw this article: the first international Scooter Contest was being held in Montreux. That‘s where I experienced them all – Terry Price, Martin Kimbell, Eric Rabel, Michael Cajas. And I saw tricks which I couldn‘t have imagined before in my wildest dreams. I wanted to learn to do this too, and my motivation was really high.

The famous scooters are my friends today. And I‘m one of them. Travelling all over the world and meeting people, riding with friends: this was what I‘d always dreamed about. 2008 saw me take my first tour – with micro® in China. These were probably the best couple of weeks in my life. Scooting is more than just a sport for me – I simply love the feeling! And it‘s crazy when you see the development of freestyle scooting. It‘s all thanks to micro; they get a lot moving.
To all scooter riders among you ... don‘t forget: protect your body, show respect for others and enjoy yourself. Ride for your own pleasure – not only to find a sponsor.
