Make Back to School brilliant: scoot the school run with Micro Scooters

Aug 20, 2025

Family scooting along a pavement to school

As we turn our attention to Back to School we're thrilled to share this guest blog post from another kid-focused brand we've long admired (and bought from). We love their Create Your Own Scoot Route activity and know it's something our own kids would have adored in their younger years!

August is zooming by, and September is just around the corner – and with it comes the exciting buzz of new beginnings. New shoes. New books. New pencil cases. And for many families, a fresh opportunity to shake up the daily school run. At Micro Scooters, we believe that how you get to school matters. It sets the tone for the whole day. That's why we're big believers in scooting the school run – and we've got just the thing to help you and your little explorers get ready.

Make it a journey to remember

Switching from car to scooter doesn't just cut congestion – it adds joy. Scooting to school builds independence, boosts confidence, and is an excellent way for kids to get their daily dose of exercise before the bell rings. Plus, it's just really fun.

With our award-winning 3-wheel scooter range, even the smallest riders can glide to school safely and confidently. Designed with stability and bio-mechanics in mind, Micro Scooters grow with your child, making them an ideal choice for nursery, reception and beyond.

Plan your route, your way

As part of the back-to-school countdown, why not try our Create Your Own Scoot Route activity? It's a brilliant way to morph boring school-run prep into a fun, screen-free summer holiday project.

Here’s how it works:

Head over to our interactive scooter maps page, download your free template, and sit down with your child to map out your journey together. Add stickers, landmarks, pit stops or even a scavenger hunt challenge along the way.

Creating a personalised map helps to ease first-day nerves by making the journey familiar long before the school gates even open. It also gives children a sense of ownership over their route.

Scoot-Ready Tips for September

To ensure your family is all set for term-time scooting, here are a few top tips:

Practice your route before the first day – scoot it together as a family as a weekend warm-up.
Check your scooter: Wheels spinning smoothly, handlebar height adjusted, brakes working.
Add accessories: Helmets, bell, lights – safety and style go hand in hand.
Store smart: Use a carry strap or wall mount to keep your scooter tidy at school or home.

Let’s make the school run the best part of the day

At Micro Scooters, we’re passionate about getting families moving, laughing and spending more quality time together – and the school run is the perfect place to start.

So, before that first bell rings, download your scoot route template, grab your scooters, and turn the school run into a mini adventure because every journey matters – especially the little ones.
