Revolutionizing the way we move<br />
Family-driven Swiss innovation<br />
Pioneering innovation with a<br />
forward-thinking spirit<br />
For over 25 years, <strong>Micro</strong> has made a<br />
lasting impact on the development<br />
of urban mobility with exclusive<br />
innovations. From the world-famous<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> Scooter, to the revolutionary<br />
Scooter Luggage, a suitcase with a<br />
folding kickboard, to the latest coup,<br />
the electric city car <strong>Micro</strong>lino.<br />
“Because we have years of experience<br />
in developing and producing our<br />
products, and because we do nothing<br />
but work every day to constantly<br />
develop <strong>Micro</strong> and bring new innovations<br />
to the market, we have succeeded<br />
in consistently maintaining and<br />
strengthening our market leadership<br />
position,” reveals inventor and owner<br />
Wim Ouboter. And he adds:<br />
“What we do, we do with<br />
passion and joy, every day.<br />
And although other scooter<br />
manufacturers around the<br />
world are still trying to make<br />
scooters like ours, we have<br />
never tried to make scooters<br />
like theirs.”<br />

Upholding Family Values for<br />
<strong>Sustainable</strong> Workplace<br />
Success<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> is more than just a business - it is a<br />
Swiss family business that takes pride<br />
in upholding the core values of family<br />
and community. As a fully-owned<br />
family enterprise, we recognize the<br />
importance of family values in creating<br />
a harmonious and sustainable<br />
workplace. This is why we are thrilled<br />
to have Wim Ouboter’s sons, Oliver<br />
and Merlin, working alongside him to<br />
drive the next phase of <strong>Micro</strong>’s growth,<br />
which includes the exciting <strong>Micro</strong>lino<br />
electric car.<br />
We also believe in the power of partnerships,<br />
which is why we place great<br />
importance on our relationships with<br />
our distribution partners across the<br />
globe. These partners have been a<br />
crucial part of <strong>Micro</strong>’s success over<br />
the years, and we value their unwavering<br />
loyalty and trust. We recognize<br />
that long-lasting partnerships are<br />
built on mutual respect, trust, and<br />
shared goals, and we are committed<br />
to maintaining these relationships<br />
for years to come.<br />
As a company that has seen its fair<br />
share of ups and downs, we remain<br />
steadfast in our commitment to providing<br />
innovative and efficient mobility<br />
solutions. With our experienced<br />
team and unwavering focus on family<br />
and partnerships, we are confident<br />
that <strong>Micro</strong> will continue to be a leader<br />
in the industry for many more years<br />
to come.<br />
