Founded in 1996, the company Micro Mobility Systems popularised the scooter as a form of urban transport for adults and children. In his quest to develop a form of micro mobility to travel short distances without the use of a car, Wim Ouboter developed a space-saving folding scooter, a ground-breaking concept that changed the way we travel around cities.
Since the conception of the initial scooter design, Micro Mobility Systems has developed scooters for a wide range of users and purposes. The Micro Trixx is a scooter for children aged 5 to 12, designed for jumps and tricks in a skatepark. The footplate fully rotates around the handlebar, and aerodynamic airholes have been added to the light aluminium frame.
