Innovative frame design
The clever frame design teams with the front rack and smaller front wheel to keep the weight of your child's cargo down low, which means confident handling while cruising. The ultra-comfy saddle and the wide, wrist-friendly handlebars add comfort to the ride. Your child will be sitting in an upright position, giving them a good view of whatever else is happening on the road around them.
Stress-free storage
School bag, sports kit or skateboard – the front rack with integrated straps is big on style and high on functionality, keeping your child's cargo secure on their journey. Up front, it handles your child's everyday carry like a pro with masses more control than a rear rack ever could. It makes cycling with cargo safer and more enjoyable for your child.
Wide balloon tires with natural cushioning
The balloon tires have an air cushion providing natural cushioning, which improves the cycling experience for your child – even when they're riding over cobblestones and other uneven surfaces. The built-in puncture protection belt helps your child avoid punctures, while the extreme width of the tires stops them getting stuck when your child is cruising over tramlines.
Built-in LED lights with hub dynamo
Worried about your child having to push their bike home through the dark because they forgot their lights? That's never a problem with the woom NOW! The non-removable, powerful LED lights can always be relied on to illuminate the route ahead for your child. What's more, there are reflectors built into both the front and rear lights. The lights are powered by the high-quality hub dynamo, so there's no need to worry about charging them up.
Integrated twist-grip bell
Subtle and stylish, this loud and functional twist-grip bell is hidden on the handlebars and is so easy to reach that your child literally doesn't have to lift a finger. Not just a picture of good design, this bell also means your child can be heard clearly in every situation. Mind your back!
Durable, pre-fitted mudguards
The wide mudguards fitted onto the woom NOW have got your child covered in the wet, keeping them clean and dry. They're also super robust with strong stainless steel stays, so they won't get bent out of shape even when they're met with knocks and bumps on a busy bike stand.
Reliable disc brakes
Your child is unstoppable. But their bicycle isn't. Mega powerful disc brakes are engineered to unleash superhuman stopping power without much effort, which keeps your child's braking nice and controlled, even on a wet day. Cycling in the city just got safer.
Customizable frame bag
Your child can pop all their little essentials like their money, keys and phone in the customizable bag on the woom NOW frame. There's even space for their bike lock, so they can keep it safe while they're on the move. Your child can make a statement by drawing their own works of art on the outside of the bag.
The woom 10-year warranty*
Inspiring children to love riding their bikes is our mission at woom. That's why we guarantee the premium quality of every bike down to the last detail with innovative technology and long-lasting materials. In fact, we're so confident in our quality promise that we're offering to extend our warranty on frames, rigid forks, handlebars, stems and cranks from the usual two years to a full ten years – for free.
We have full confidence in our bikes, which is why we offer a 10-year warranty on the aluminium frames, rigid forks, bars and stem once you've registered online.
WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
woom offers a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on aluminium frames, rigid forks, handlebars and stem.
The initial activation of the 10-year warranty requires customers to register on the woom website within nine weeks from the date of purchase of a new woom bike upon submission of proof of purchase.
Provided that the bike has been registered properly, claims under the warranty must always be made via an authorised woom dealer (ideally the dealer that originally sold the bike) or through direct contact with woom if the bike was purchased from the woom online shop. To make a claim directly, send us an e-mail at [email protected] with the frame number, proof of purchase, proof of service (only required for used bikes) and photos or videos clearly showing the defect.
If a claim is made under the warranty, woom may choose to repair or replace any faulty parts at its own discretion.

If a part or product is no longer being made at all or if no suitable spare part is available, woom reserves the right to exclude the warranty claim woom is under no obligation to provide original spare parts. No further claims can be made except for items expressly covered by this warranty. The warranty does not cover compensation for direct or indirect consequential damage. The buyer must cover any costs incurred for labour and/or postage and packaging costs.
The warranty is not extended or renewed when a claim is made under the warranty.
The warranty applies only to private end consumers. The warranty does not apply to end consumers using the products for their work, e.g. at a nursery or playgroup.
