Micro scooters are become the new skateboards of tomorrow. They are just as durable and can offer the same advantages to do tricks on that skateboards do. The rise in popularity is based on the design of a micro scooter. They have a hollow handle that allows the rider to hold on to the scooter while performing their tricks.
