We founded White and Black Trading in 2007 after sourcing brands and representing them in the retail sector. With a background working in various newsrooms for BBC political programmes in London, it was a sea change to be joining the outdoor category sector in Singapore. This was combined with raising three children who were very much part of the product testing process. Knowing everything about the brands we distribute, has been key to its growth and confidence. It’s a huge privilege working with inventors of ideas and seeing the engineering of innovation as its best. Above all, delivering these ideas to the public and seeing families enjoying our products.

🤔 We don't always think of you when we design our scooters, sorry!
💫 We think of your friends & family whom you'll pass your Micro onto.
♻️ We don't think of the now; we think of the later, the after, & what's next.
We think of the planet 🌏 and ...the future & create scooters that allow us to scoot lightly & leave no impact.
We only consider high-quality materials & their durability 🛠️ We consider each replacement part because it's our responsibility to reduce landfill.
We think beyond the sale of one scooter. 🙌🏼 #microscooterssg
Here at Micro we are all about safety first! 👍🏼 Help your child want to wear their helmet with these top tips 👏🏼
💫 Talk about why it's important to protect their head at all times!
💫 Practice wearing a helmet for short periods of time if they are not feeling ...comfortable yet.
💫 Get a helmet design that they'll love ❤️ we have everything from dragons 🐉 to dinosaurs 🦕 🦖 to rocket ships 🚀 there is one for every style! #microscooterssg
🤨 All too often, scooters are built as disposable toys that soon end up as landfill, they’re made cheap & not built to last. Swiss🇨🇭 designed Micro Scooters are very different. 👏🏼 They are built to stringent European standards come with a two-year warranty & all parts are ...replaceable. ♻️
As a result, they will last to the point where they can be handed down from one child to the next. To complement this, parts can be replaced to give the scooter a whole new look; change the deck & grips and you’ll totally transform the appearance when passing the scooter on. 🙌🏼 #microscooterssg
😎 🤙🏽 Ditch the training wheels & get your child on a Micro balance bike! Balancing is one of the hardest parts about learning to ride, but kids can actually learn this from an amazingly young age, through riding a balance bike. 🙌🏼

When people say our scooters last forever it's because they get regular maintenance. Did you know 🤔 you can visit us at our warehouse & meet our scooter technicians who can repair and service any Micro scooter. 🙌🏼 This means all scooters can last and can be passed down to ...relatives and friends for years to come!
