Their first real pro scooter — lightweight, perfectly sized for smaller riders and tough enough to take them from first 2-wheel rides to their first skatepark tricks.

Key Features

The Root Industries Type R Mini gives younger riders genuine pro-scooter quality in a smaller, lighter package designed specifically for kids — not simply a full-size scooter they have to grow into.

Quick Fit Guide

  • Best Age Range: 4–8 years
  • Recommended Rider Height: 122–154cm
  • Scooter Weight: Just 3.3kg
  • Maximum Rider Weight: 60kg
  • Total Scooter Height: 720mm
  • Deck Size: 120mm × 440mm
  • Usable Foot Space: 285mm
  • Wheels: 110mm × 24mm PU
  • Best For: First 2-wheel riding, tricks & skatepark progression

A Real Pro Scooter — Just Made Smaller

The Type R Mini is based on Root Industries’ full-size Type R platform, using pro-level components and construction but with smaller dimensions and geometry designed specifically for younger riders.

Perfect First 2-Wheel Scooter

For children ready to progress from a 3-wheel scooter, the Type R Mini provides a more appropriately sized introduction to 2-wheel balance, steering and control.

Ultra-Light at Just 3.3kg

At only 3.3kg, the Type R Mini is light enough for younger riders to manoeuvre confidently while remaining strong enough for skatepark riding and trick progression.

Compact Deck for Smaller Riders

The 120mm × 440mm deck gives smaller feet plenty of usable space without making the scooter feel long, heavy or difficult to control.

Lower Bars for Better Control

The shorter bar setup places the handlebars at a more appropriate height for younger riders, helping them maintain better leverage, steering control and body position.

110mm Pro Scooter Wheels

Full-size 110mm polyurethane wheels provide a smoother, faster and more predictable ride than the small hard wheels found on many toy-style children’s scooters.

Professional IHC Compression

The Type R Mini uses a proper IHC compression system and threadless fork setup, helping keep the scooter tight, responsive and ready for real progression.

Smooth AIR Headset

Root’s AIR headset helps provide smooth steering and bar rotation — important for everyday control as well as learning spins and more advanced scooter skills.

Forged Fork & Double Clamp

A forged fork and Root Industries Lithium double clamp give the front end the strength and rigidity expected from a genuine pro-level scooter.

High-Grip Deck Surface

Root’s Cut-Out R griptape provides a secure platform underfoot, helping young riders maintain confidence and control while cruising, jumping or learning tricks.

Proper Rear Brake

A durable nylon rear brake gives riders a simple, familiar way to control speed and stop safely.

Upgrade It as They Grow

The Type R Mini uses standard pro-scooter components, meaning parts such as the handlebars can be upgraded later as your child grows — helping extend the useful life of the scooter.

Built for Skatepark Progression

This isn’t a folding recreational scooter. Its fixed pro-scooter construction is designed for ramps, jumps, tricks and repeated skatepark use, while still being approachable for younger beginners.

Why Parents LOVE IT

🎯 Properly Sized for Ages 4–8
Shorter bars, a compact deck and lightweight 3.3kg construction give smaller riders much better control than trying to learn on an oversized pro scooter.

🛴 The Perfect Step Up to 2 Wheels
A stable deck and properly sized geometry make the Type R Mini a confidence-building next step for children progressing beyond their first 3-wheel scooter.

💪 Pro Quality — Not a Disposable Toy
Professional compression, a forged fork, 110mm wheels and genuine Root components give young riders the same type of construction used in larger freestyle scooters.

📈 Built to Progress With Their Skills
From first 2-wheel rides to ramps, jumps and tricks, the Type R Mini gives children a scooter they can develop on rather than quickly outgrow in ability.

Warranty & Easy Returns — 30-Day Guarantee

We want every family to feel confident shopping with Xchange Sports.

Your Root Industries Type R Mini is backed by its manufacturer warranty plus our 30-Day Love Your Ride Guarantee. If something isn’t right, our Australian team is here to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Root Industries Type R Mini Warranty

12-Month Warranty against manufacturing defects.

The warranty covers manufacturing faults and does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, modification, incorrect maintenance or damage resulting from crashes, impacts or improper use.

30-Day Love Your Ride Guarantee

We want you and your child to be happy with your purchase.

If you’re not completely satisfied, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we’ll work with you to find the best solution.

Many setup, sizing or adjustment concerns can often be resolved quickly with a little expert guidance, so we recommend contacting us before arranging a return.

Need to Make a Warranty Claim?

Email support@xchangesports.com.au and include:

  • Your order number or proof of purchase
  • A brief description of the issue
  • Clear photos showing the scooter and issue
  • Your full shipping address
  • Daytime contact number
  • Email address
  • Production date or batch number, if applicable

Our team will review your claim and contact you as quickly as possible with the next steps.

Returns & Exchanges

If you would like to return or exchange your scooter, please contact us before sending it back.

Once your request has been reviewed, we’ll provide a Return Authorisation Number and return instructions.

Change-of-Mind Returns & Exchanges

For approved change-of-mind returns or exchanges, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.

Where the scooter supplied matches your order and product description, choosing a different colour, size or model is treated as a change-of-mind return or exchange, rather than a shipping or fulfilment error.

Before Riding Your Scooter

If you think you may need to return the scooter for change-of-mind reasons, please keep it:

  • Unused
  • Unmarked
  • With all original components and accessories
  • In its original packaging

Contact our team before outdoor or skatepark use so we can advise you on your available return options.

If We Send the Wrong Item

If Xchange Sports makes an error with your order — such as sending the wrong scooter, colour or model — we’ll provide a pre-paid return label at no cost to you and arrange the appropriate solution.

Faulty or Defective Products

If you believe your scooter has a manufacturing fault or defect, please contact us before returning it.

Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate solution may include a repair, replacement or refund.

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply independently of any written warranty and cannot be excluded by this policy. Consumer guarantee rights may also continue beyond the stated warranty period.

Choosing the Right Scooter Size

The Type R Mini is recommended for riders approximately:

  • Age: 4–8 years
  • Height: 122–154cm

Unlike recreational kids’ scooters, a pro scooter has fixed-height handlebars. Choosing the correct size from the beginning is important for comfortable posture, control and skill progression.

As a general guide, scooter bars should sit approximately between the rider’s waist and elbow height when standing on the deck.

If you’re unsure whether the Type R Mini is the right size, contact our team before purchasing and we’ll be happy to help.

We’re Here to Help

Our goal is simple: to help your child ride safely, build confidence and progress their scooter skills.
