Kids-Sport club takes over micro scooter traffic training
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.
Safe on a scooter - at school and in your free time
Whether it's correct braking, safe cornering techniques or recognizing dangers early on - in the 90-minute scooter workshops, children learn everything they need to know to control their scooter safely. The focus is on the ten golden micro-rules, which are taught in an age-appropriate way and with lots of movement. The aim is to give children safety, coordination and self-confidence for everyday life - whether on the way to school or in their free time. In collaboration with Micro, the courses are held directly on site at schools or at events - uncomplicated, effective and with lasting added value.
“Road safety is an issue that is very close to our hearts at Micro. I am proud that our program has reached so many children - and I am delighted that it now has a strong new sponsor in Kids-Sport.” - Wim Ouboter, Micro Founder & CEO
That's why a course is worthwhile for your school:
- Practical road safety training with a focus on scooters & kickboards
- Promotion of coordination, balance and reaction
- Teaching the 10 golden micro-rules for more safety in everyday life
- Professional course management by experienced Kids Sport trainers
- Courses take place directly at your school - uncomplicated & effective
