While it comes with a larger price tag, its quality and durability make it a solid investment. With its beautiful anodized aluminum finish and steady ride, the Rocket gets an A+ grade for style and performance. The Micro Rocket is a wicked little scooter than allows less aggressive kids, tweens, and teens to confidently ride a kick scooter without the stress of losing control and falling over constantly on their mind. The Rocket is a bit more bulky than the Sprite, so if you’re going to be carrying it any significant distance, we recommend purchasing one of Micro’s carrying straps. Rocket Folds for Easy Carrying and Storage And while our kids just generally toss their scooters all over the sidewalk, it is nice to have the option of upright storage in the garage. If you kick it forward, it’s easier to grab it with your toe to pull it down for parking. Kickstand: The two-way kickstand can be kicked up forward or backwards to keep it out of the way while riding. Ease of Assembly, Transport, and StorageĪssembly: The Rocket comes completely assembled! I hate assembling things, so that’s a win in my book. The Rocket’s standard scooter brake is upgraded with a texturized rubber for better grip and less slippage. The stem of the Sprite is a classy, smooth anodized aluminum that comes in 2 different colors – black and sky blue. The rubber bumpers will hold up better than traditional foam after being dropped or laid on the sidewalk. We especially love that the ends have upgraded soft rubber bumpers because despite the fact that the Rocket has a kickstand, the number of times your kids will just throw the scooter on the ground will probably far exceed the numbers of times they’ll actually use the kickstand. The handlebars are a standard t-bar with soft foam hand grips. In addition to its high-quality functionality, the deck’s anodized aluminum colored finish matches the scooter’s stem, completing the Rocket’s polished look. With 13.5″ of usable foot space (a full inch longer than our Razor A5), 4.75″ at its widest point (the Micro Sprite is 4″ wide), and a non-grip overlay that covers more surface area than other kick scooters, the Rocket’s foot deck adds to the comfort, ease, and stability this scooter is designed for. The Rocket’s foot deck is roomy without being bulky. ![]() These fat wheels are the primary reason the Rocket is so stable, and also why it doesn’t reach the same high speeds as the Sprite. Made from a high-quality, bump-dampening polyurethane like the Sprite, the front and rear 120 mm wheels are 2 5/8″ wide – almost 3x the width of a standard kick scooter. ![]() The Rocket’s wheels are its truly distinguishing feature. Weight Capacity: 220 lb weight capacity – enough for a tall, grown man. It’s not meant for jumps and tricks, so the extra weight isn’t really an issue. Weight: At 9.5 lbs., the Rocket is heavier than your standard kick scooter (the Sprite is 6.4 lbs.), but is still lightweight enough and easy to maneuver for anyone 8+. If you’re a grown-up looking for a scooter for yourself, check out the Micro Flex or Micro Black. Micro does have scooters with taller handlebars that are specifically designed for adults. With an almost 12″ range from min to max ( they adjust from 23.25″ to 34.5″ from the deck) the Rocket was a great fit and enjoyable ride for both our kid, teen, and adult testers. Handlebar Height: The Rocket’s adjustable handlebars allow a wide range of ages and heights to ride.
