Safety on the way to school starts with knowledge, practice - and the joy of movement. This is exactly what the Micro Scooter Kids Day program has stood for since 2008: a nationwide initiative to raise traffic awareness that has already inspired over 82,000 children. From August 2025, the Kids-Sport association, headed by Gabi Schibler, will take over the tried-and-tested program from René Lauper - the initiator who put his heart and soul into the project and shaped it over 17 years.

Thousands of children use a scooter every day on their way to school or in their free time. The Kids-Sport courses - in collaboration with Micro, the inventor of the world-famous Micro Scooter - focus on responsible behavior in road traffic.  The riding technique training and skill exercises make a valuable contribution to children's coordination and accident prevention.

“I am delighted to be able to continue this valuable program. At Kids-Sport, we are passionate about ensuring that children have fun and learn to move safely and independently - on a scooter as well as in life.” - Gabi Schibler, Managing Director of the Kids-Sport association.

Kids-Sport will continue to develop the program with the proven concept and the same high quality standards - with a focus on practical traffic training, promoting exercise and imparting knowledge in a child-friendly way.

“The Micro Scooter Kids Day was always more than just a project for me - it was a matter close to my heart. Seeing children gain safety, joy and self-confidence was my greatest motivation. I am grateful that Kids-Sport is now a committed partner who shares and carries on this vision.” - René Lauper, initiator of Micro Scooter Kids Day.

In Switzerland, around 500,000 children ride their scooters to school every day. This makes it all the more important to teach them the right behavior in traffic at an early age. The Kids-Sport courses are held throughout Switzerland and make a valuable contribution to accident prevention - and to the enjoyment of safe riding.
