For our original scooter testing, we had six kids run eight scooters through an obstacle course in a city park, and the Maxi Deluxe was crowned as the smoothest, fastest, and quietest. It costs significantly more than many competitors, but after seeing it hold up through many years of use for multiple Wirecutter families, we’re confident the Maxi Deluxe is an excellent value. Micro offers the scooter in an array of colors, as well as in a foldable version or tricked out with LED lights (or both), allowing a kid to choose a personalized ride.
