We first saw this Micro camping trolley in London being used to take papers into court and although billed as a festival/camping trolley we wondered what other good use we could put this too when travelling for business or pleasure.

We put the Micro Camping trolley through its paces at the Everything Electric North show and also Bestival. It underwent rigorous testing, from dusty grass car parks to an EV test track, and even over the carpeted floors of the conference centre.

History

Anna Gibson and Philippa Gogarty, who met at a baby weigh-in clinic, began selling Micro scooters at the school gates. Their small, family-run business has revolutionized the daily commute for a million children by scooting to school and has now expanded to include adults into the scooting revolution.

Micro was created to make everyday journeys better and in their words “Better for today’s families. Better for our world”.

Function

The Micro Camping Trolley is an ideal accessory for family camping trips, festival excitement, or any outing requiring smooth transportation of items from point A to B. Sturdy and durable, the trolley features large wheels suitable for all terrains and can handle weights up to 50kg.

While British summers can be unpredictable, the trolley ensures preparedness for any situation with its intelligent weatherproof cover, safeguarding against wind, rain, and other elements.

Its robustness doesn’t compromise on convenience, thanks to clever design – a straightforward folding mechanism transforms the trolley into a compact ‘box on wheels’ for effortless storage.

Moveability

With its large chunky wheels and sturdy aluminium frame, the trolley can be manoeuvred over any terrain.

The height-adjustable handlebar facilitates easier steering, and the 360-degree rotating front wheels allow for optimal manoeuvrability. It is equipped with 210mm PE wheels that glide smoothly and stably across grass, gravel, and paving stones.

Accessories

The deluxe version comes with removable sun canopy and cool bag.  Additional accessories include a lock and water bottle.

Verdict

This trolley is essential for camping, festivals, or any situation where you need to move items across various terrains. It’s robust, with chunky wheels that smoothly traverse surfaces, and its foldable design allows for convenient storage. It’s simple for one person to handle and features a removable interior for effortless cleaning.

An absolute all-rounder, it meets all our criteria, serving both business and leisure needs with its versatility and contributing to environmental conservation.  Having seen many trolleys at these events I must say how easy it was to manoeuvre, very stylish, versatile and really good value.
