Features & highlights

All components that have been specifically designed with safety in mind bear the KIDSAFE PLUS seal.

Innovative frame

The superlight aluminum frame is the heart of the balance bike and ensures easy riding fun. Its geometry has been specifically designed for toddlers, with a low entry making it easy for even the youngest of riders to hop on and roll away. Thanks to the long seatpost and open seat tube, the saddle height can be adjusted over a broad range to accommodate your growing child.

Child-specific hand brake

Learning to operate a rear brake as early as possible makes it easier for your child to use brakes on a pedal bike later on and can prevent them from having accidents. Our specially designed brake lever is easy to pull with small hands and requires little strength to bring the bike to a safe halt. This, along with the ergonomic grips, makes braking child's play.

Please note: All bikes delivered in the UK will have the UK standard with the green rear brake lever on the left.

Knee-friendly stem

Our stem ensures a safe and lightweight connection between the handlebars and the headset. Thanks to its sleek, rounded design and recessed clamp bolt, the stem is a trusty "knee saver".

Ergonomically formed saddle

The saddle is one of the most important points of contact between the child and the bike. It significantly affects the feeling when riding. That's why our saddle is designed to be a perfect fit for the pelvis of children in this age group and optimized for an upright riding position. Its scooped design is engineered to provide continuous optimal support for your child. In short, these features make our saddle the ultimate all-rounder for every position – whether your child is sitting, standing or cruising at speed.

Please note that as we work with various suppliers, the actual saddle on your woom bike may vary slightly from the images shown.

Flexible steering limiter

Our specially developed steering limiter is a vital safety feature. It prevents the handlebars from overturning, which reduces the risk of accidents.

All-round capable tires

Tires have a major influence on how a bike handles. That's why we've chosen high-quality, lightweight and grippy tires with low rolling resistance for the woom ORIGINAL 1. This ensures smooth running and good grip whatever the terrain – whether paved, gravel or dirt roads. The reflective stripe on the tires' sidewall also ensures optimum visibility even in low-light conditions.

Smartly engineered wheels

Well-built wheels are essential for a good ride, which is why these are engineered with smooth-rolling hubs, high-quality stainless steel spokes and our exclusive rims aka the SOOPA DOOPA HOOPS. The extra narrow hub on the rear wheel ensures masses of leg clearance for your child while they're riding.

SURFBOARD-ready

The SURFBOARD Footrest is designed for kids to rest their feet and feel like they're surfing on clouds. The SURFBOARD Footrest is available as an accessory for the woom ORIGINAL 1.

Members of our woom Riders Club can extend the warranty on aluminum frames, rigid forks, handlebars, stems and cranks to 10 years for free by registering their bike within 9 weeks of buying it.

Amazing

Just turned two and my toddler is riding the woom like a pro. It only took a week for him to progress once he showed interest in the bike. Light weight and easy maneuvering. Truly a great hike for little ones.

Woom 1

Our 2 year old granddaughter got her woom 1 purple bike recently. She absolutely loves it and wants to ride it daily. She is so proud of her bike! She is comfortable on it, no fear, feet on the ground, and has already mastered steering. She’s doing great, and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. Just bought a woom 3 for her 4 year old sister. Excellent bikes. Highly recommend them!

Best Purchase

We decided to buy our almost 3-year-old a balance bike for his big Christmas present. We looked at so many different bikes but Woom took the lead and we are so happy with our purchase. Our son was beaming when he saw his ‘red bike’ Christmas morning. He didn’t hesitate to jump on and test it out right away, with little guidance from us he figured it out quickly. Within two rides around the neighborhood he was gliding and balancing really well. He continues to gain confidence during our rides and it’s become a really fun family activity. We absolutely love this bike and how much our son loves it. I have no doubt this will help him with a pedal bike in the future.

18 Month Old Loves Her Woom!

I bought a wood bike for my daughter a few weeks before turning 18. It took her about tow weeks to get comfortable with the bike and at first she would only play with the bike for a minute or two. After two weeks of daily practice she managed to sit in the saddle grab the handlebars and walk around independently. We are 4 weeks in and she can now rip around with her bike like no one’s business. She likes to go around the block twice a day and sometimes even prefers to skip the park to bike some more. Great product, and patience/practice pays off!

No regrets!

This bike has been perfect for our 2 year old twin grand sons. It is just perfect for them to ride? No obstructions when making it go with their feet. Great quality. Perfect size and design. They ride them everywhere….in the house, in the grass, at the bike park. We take the bikes with us everywhere we go. Easy to transport and carry. If you are looking for a balance bike, I don’t think you will regret with purchase. We bought to love them!

Excellent First Bike

We purchased the Woom 1 Original as a gift for our daughter's 3rd birthday, as she had been asking for a bike for several months. It has been a real winner! She loves riding her balance bike, and we were amazed at how quickly she was coasting along with her feet off the ground. She asks to go for a bike ride at least once a day, and weather permitting, we generally do go out. I love that the bike has a hand-brake, even though she isn't quite strong enough to activate it with one hand. However, she does like to stop sometimes just to practice pulling on the brake, which I think is great. We also love the 10-year warranty, since we plan to pass this bike on to her younger siblings as they get old enough for it. Overall, we think this bike was a great purchase and definitely worth the somewhat higher price than other lower-quality balance bikes. We highly recommend it!

Used on 3 kids/7 years

We purchased back in 2017 and our kids have put MILES on this bike. Our third son is currently using and I’m sure our youngest with also use the same bike. We initially had trouble with flat tires but once squeeze of the tire stuff made our current wheels last the last 5 years. We are so happy and all our kids use the balance bike from 2-3.5 and then seamlessly move to a pedal bike and already know how to use the hand brake!

Toddler loves it

My daughter has picked up her balance bike so fast. We are currently looking to move to the next size already after just a few months

Awesome balance bike

My daughter loves it and has made great progress with it! She has great balance after just a few weeks. Now raises her feet up and ranges for long distances.

Awesome balance bike

My daughter mastered the balance bike at 20 months old. She learned in the house and then we took it outside. Her favorite thing to do is ride her balance bike. The helmet is also awesome as she is able to put it on herself now at 2 years old! We will be upgrading to a peddle bike from Woom in a few months. The only downfall is I have to put air in the tires every other time she rides it.
