Review on City scooter Micro Scooter White, white by Czesawa ledziewska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

The Micra is like a Jaguar - which is not the most durable car, but what a pleasure it is to be behind the wheel of a Jaguar. In terms of dynamics and contours, they are still the best by a wide margin. If you like unsprung city scooters and it suits you in terms of height / weight, you are not embarrassed by a small backlash in a folding lock and the prospect of repairing this same lock in a couple of years, then Micra is worth it.

Pros
  • The best scooter I have ever ridden (and there are many). Probably, if there is an ideal city scooter, then this is almost it. Low seating position (= maneuverability and stability, similar to a racing car), very good bearings (I am a former urban roller, so trust me), thanks to them and the thoughtfulness of the whole design, the scooter holds jumps, overloads, high speed, bumps and wet asphalt . Beautiful, smooth (nothing sticks out, everything is compact, like in a Swiss knife). There is a footstool =)
Cons
  • : After a couple of years of riding, especially if you're closer to 100 or ride aggressively, the bolts that hold the folding assembly to the deck are likely to get their heads blown off (these bolts are surprisingly thin, plus they're not through bolts - just 4 independent short ones). Drilling out the remains of heavy-duty steel bolts from a soft aluminum (!) Part is another task. However, the part itself is likely to crack in front by that time. You have to give credit to Mikram - even with a crack in a key node and without a couple of load-bearing bolts, you will not soon notice that something is wrong. But the replacement and repair of all this in the complete absence of spare parts is a topic for an amateur. From what you will immediately notice: In the rain, additional mudguards are required - I glued them from a wide transparent adhesive tape on both wings. Otherwise, one stream of water will come exactly to the knee of the supporting leg, the other - exactly under. Apparently, in Switzerland there are no puddles on the sidewalks, as a phenomenon. The folding mechanism has a tight backlash of several degrees, no matter how you tighten the eccentric, there will be a backlash. This does not interfere with riding, even in extreme mode, but still the Micra does not have absolute rigidity. The brake wing can get hot from friction because it's aluminum. Actual for those who like to ride on hills with a passenger or one weighs over a hundred.
