Micro Maxi kick scooter

Micro Mobility Systems is a Swiss brand known for revolutionizing the scooter industry. Founded in 1996 by Wim Ouboter in Küsnacht, Switzerland, the company gained global fame with the invention of the foldable Micro Scooter. The Maxi Micro pictured is a specifically designed three-wheeled scooter designed for school-aged children, utilizing a 'lean-to-steer' mechanism that the brand helped pioneer.

While the brand is headquartered and its products are engineered in Switzerland, the actual manufacturing is primarily outsourced to specialized production facilities in China to maintain global distribution scales. The brand remains privately held by the founding family, operating under the flagship company Micro Mobility Systems AG, and continues to focus on urban mobility solutions including electric scooters and the Microlino electric car.
