micro® xtreme story

video
Following the success of the first micro® scooters it was only a matter of time before the more adventurous among us started pushing the boundaries.

In 2005, a hard core group got together and the micro® Xtreme team was formed. They built a website and included a chatroom where all riders could meet and share their experiences. All over the world young people have been infected with the micro Xtreme virus.

Today, the team has become highly professional and have competed in several competitions such as the X-games in Shanghai and the popular freestyle.ch in Zurich.

Last year for the first time ever, Terry Price achieved a doubleback flip on a scooter, which can be seen on YouTube. Terry Price is our English member of the Xtreme team.

For many years a modified micro® Bullet has been the model of choice for the best trick riders. But this scooter was not designed for this purpose, and resulted in riders needing to change their scooter 2 or 3 times a year.

In collaboration with the micro Xtreme team we have now developed the first stunt scooter in the world. This is probably the most complex scooter ever with 75% more aluminium used in its production, making the XT the most robust model available, and welded using the finest welding processes.
