mini micro scooter pulling left

[margobambino]

We have bought a mini micro second time today after returning the first one few weeks ago as it was clearly pulling left. Today we have tried at least 3, all of them were pulling left finally decided to buy one and carefully try at home. Unfortunately my DS (3 years old) is not able to manage to ride this one either as this is pulling left tooooo! I really don't understand what's going on. I googled, couldn't find anything about it. Has anybody experienced something like this with their scooters before or heard anything like this?

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone now. We have seen at least 4 mini micros pulling left in total but nobody had this problem? This cannot be a coincidence, can it?

bumping for myself

MG please please do not get one of these things. They are so dangerous, so many kids have been killed on them. They are so badly made, very poor quality, the brakes wear out very quickly. They are crap. Seriously.

They steer by moving their bodyweight - could it be that your ds isn't quite centred on the board?

It took ds quite a while to get used to steering his mini micro but he loves it now and zooms along (he's 3.8 and has had his about a year).

Hi 3littlefrogs, thanks for the answer, do you mean scooters in general or specifically Mini Micro?

Thanks for the answer Suzikettles, we tried pushing it on a straight line by pushing it on the centre without my DS on it. It is clearly pulling left. Have you ever tried doing that with your Ds' mini micro?

The steering is very sensitive so I do find that if I'm pushing it along I have to compensate from time to time to keep it straight. Ds was forever veering off to the side until he got his balance.

I think it's just a technique thing that they have to learn though as the steering is different to scooters where you move the front wheel to turn.

dd3 always used to veer to the left, until she got her balence right.

as its steered by leaning, rather than turning the handle, it is very senstive as other posters have said.

dd3 brakes are going strong 3yrs on, and is good to pass down the dd4 when the time comes. I check it regularly, and i think one part may need replacing before dd4 gets it.
