1. Introduction and Overview
The Micro Kickboard Maxi Deluxe Foldable LED scooter is a Swiss-designed, three-wheeled scooter engineered for children aged 5 to 12 years. It features a lean-to-steer mechanism for intuitive control and motion-activated LED light-up wheels that require no batteries. This model is designed for durability, portability, and ease of use, supporting a maximum weight of 110 lbs.
Key features include:
- Motion-activated light-up front wheels (no batteries required).

2. Setup and Assembly
The Micro Kickboard Maxi Deluxe Foldable LED scooter requires minimal assembly. Simply insert the T-bar (handlebar) into the deck until it clicks securely into place. A supplied hex wrench can be used to adjust the T-bar to the desired height and tighten it before riding to ensure stability.

2.1 Folding the Scooter
To fold the scooter for transport or storage, locate the folding mechanism near the base of the T-bar. Push the release lever up firmly, then fold the T-bar down towards the deck. Ensure the mechanism locks into the folded position for secure carrying.

2.2 Adjusting Handlebar Height
To adjust the handlebar height, loosen the quick-release clamp located on the T-bar. Press the safety button (a small ball that pops out) and slide the T-bar to the desired height. Once the desired height is reached, the safety button will click into one of the pre-set holes. Securely tighten the quick-release clamp to prevent the handlebar from slipping during use.

3. Operating Instructions
The Maxi Deluxe Foldable LED scooter is designed for intuitive lean-to-steer operation, which helps children develop balance and coordination. To steer, simply lean your body in the direction you wish to turn. The motion-activated LED wheels will illuminate as the scooter moves, enhancing visibility and fun without the need for batteries.
3.1 Braking
The scooter is equipped with a rear braking system. To slow down or stop, gently press down on the brake pedal located above the rear wheel with your heel. Apply gradual pressure for smooth deceleration.

3.2 Safety Guidelines
- Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear (knee pads, elbow pads) when riding.
- Supervise young children during use.
- Ride on smooth, dry surfaces away from traffic.
- Do not ride in low light conditions without additional lighting.
- Ensure all clamps and fasteners are tightened before each ride.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Micro Kickboard scooter. The scooter is designed with replaceable parts, allowing for easy repairs and extended use.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they spin freely and the LED lights activate with motion.
- Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all screws, bolts, and clamps to ensure they are tight. A hex wrench is provided for adjustments.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Handlebar slips down during use. | Quick-release clamp is not tight enough. | Loosen the quick-release clamp, ensure the safety button is engaged in a height setting, then re-tighten the clamp firmly. |
| LED wheels not lighting up. | Wheels are not spinning fast enough or are obstructed. | Ensure wheels are free of debris. The lights are motion-activated and do not require batteries; they will illuminate when the wheels rotate at sufficient speed. |
| Scooter feels unstable. | Loose connections or improper T-bar insertion. | Check that the T-bar is fully inserted and locked into the deck. Verify all fasteners are tight. |
