3. Product Configurations and Stages

The Mini 3in1 Deluxe offers three distinct configurations to grow with your child:

Stage 1: Ride-on with Seat (Approx. 12 months - 2 years)

This stage is ideal for the youngest riders, allowing them to sit and push with their feet. The O-bar provides a secure grip and helps with early balance development. The seat height is adjustable to accommodate growing children.

Stage 2: Stand-on Scooter with O-bar (Approx. 2 - 3 years)

Once your child is comfortable pushing off and balancing, the seat can be removed. The O-bar remains, offering a lower, more stable handlebar for children transitioning to standing and scooting.

Stage 3: Scooter with T-bar (Approx. 3 - 5 years)

For more confident riders, the O-bar can be replaced with the T-bar, converting it into a classic Micro Mini Original scooter. The T-bar is adjustable in height to suit your child's growth.

4. Setup and Assembly

The Micro Kickboard Mini 3in1 Deluxe requires minimal assembly. An Allen key is supplied for attaching the seat and making adjustments.

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: scooter base, O-bar, T-bar, seat, and Allen key.
2. Attach O-bar/T-bar: Insert the desired handlebar (O-bar for Stages 1 & 2, T-bar for Stage 3) into the steering column until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully engaged.
3. Attach Seat (Stage 1 only): For ride-on mode, slide the seat onto the O-bar stem. Use the supplied Allen key to tighten the screw and secure the seat at the desired height. There are two seat height options.
4. Adjust Handlebar Height (Stage 3 only): For the T-bar scooter, adjust the handlebar to an appropriate height for the rider. Ensure the quick-release clamp is securely tightened after adjustment.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure all connections are secure before allowing a child to use the scooter.

5. Operating Instructions

General Operation:

• Steering: The Micro Kickboard Mini 3in1 Deluxe uses a lean-to-steer mechanism. To turn, the rider leans their body in the desired direction, which causes the wheels to turn. This intuitive steering helps develop balance and coordination.
• Braking: The scooter is equipped with a rear brake. To slow down or stop, the rider should press down on the rear fender with their foot.

Stage-Specific Operation:

• Stage 1 (Ride-on): The child sits on the seat and propels themselves forward by pushing off the ground with their feet. Adult supervision is crucial to guide and ensure safety.
• Stage 2 (Stand-on with O-bar): The child stands on the deck, holding the O-bar. They push off with one foot and use the lean-to-steer mechanism to guide the scooter.
• Stage 3 (Scooter with T-bar): Similar to Stage 2, the child stands and pushes off. The T-bar provides a more traditional scooter feel, with the lean-to-steer still active for turning.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your scooter.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they spin freely and are free of debris.
• Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all screws, bolts, and clamps to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten with the supplied Allen key if necessary.
• Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Scooter not steering smoothly: Check for debris in the steering mechanism or wheels. Ensure the handlebar is correctly inserted and secured.
• Wheels not spinning freely: Inspect wheels for dirt, hair, or other obstructions. Clean as necessary. If wheels are damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts.
• Loose parts: Regularly check and tighten all screws and fasteners using the provided Allen key.
