GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Micro Kickboard®, a leader in personal transport for children and adults of all ages, announced today the first annual National Scooter Day, which will take place on Tuesday, May 19th. National Scooter Day is a nationwide campaign to highlight the benefits of scooter riding and encourage families to get outside and scoot. Celebrated during National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, National Scooter Day promotes scooting as a fuel-free, eco-friendly, healthy and safe way to travel.
On May 19th, Micro Kickboard invites families across the country to participate by being active and riding scooters to school, work, the park, a friend’s house, or just around the neighborhood. Perfect for quick trips that are too short for driving but too long for walking, smooth-gliding Micro scooters are sturdy, lightweight and portable. Micro’s quality scooters, including the popular Mini 3in1, Mini and Maxi, are available for children and adults of all ages, starting as young as 12 months, so the entire family can scoot together. For ideas on how to participate, helpful tips and a video on safe scooting, adults and children can visit MicroKickboard.com/NationalScooterDay. Families are also encouraged to join in the #ScooterDay social conversation and share photos of themselves scooting today.
“We’ve seen a steady increase in customers coming in looking to buy scooters for themselves and for their children,” said Brian Miller, owner of Geppetto’s, a popular toy store with nine locations in San Diego, CA. “Companies like Micro Kickboard have really delivered on quality products that grow with kids and offer years of use for the whole family. Micro’s lightweight and portable scooters are great for travel and quick commutes that include hopping on and off buses and subways.”
“Riding Micro scooters helps my family maintain an active and healthy lifestyle,” said Geoff Hawksworth, co-owner and CEO of Micro Kickboard. “Scooting to school has turned a 20 minute walk into a gentle 10 minute scoot that is both convenient and fun.” Geoff added, “As a company, we are excited to celebrate National Scooter Day. The holiday is a fun way for families across the country to discover the benefits of scooting, and we are eager to see parents and their children outside scooting together today.”
Micro scooters are designed to be fun and healthy, so Micro asks that families always scoot smart and safe – wear a helmet, scoot the sidewalk and follow local safety rules.
