MICRO has already garnered a myriad of awards for our innovations, including the ECO Award for the emicro one and the Automotive Brand Contest for the Microlino.

MICRO – CYPRUS

Before our family moved to the beautiful island of Cyprus in 2012, we used to live in Singapore and we had decided to buy a MICRO scooter for our two-year-old son as a Christmas present! That’s when we realised what a great quality scooter it is and how much our son used to enjoy his rides. So, as soon as we realised that there were models for adults, we got another two for ourselves! From then on, our family rides on our MICRO scooters became a tradition and we always took them everywhere we went!

The time came when we would move to Cyprus where the weather is fantastic seven months a year so my husband and I had the idea to introduce MICRO scooters to the Cypriot market. We’ve created our little family business and now we continue to ride our scooters everywhere as a family, not only promoting the MICRO brand, but also promoting excellent quality, comfort, fun, exercise, relaxation and of course bonding within families. Besides, these are the priorities and values of our business and our life.
