woom ORIGINAL 3
An innovative and ultralight 16" children's bike designed for all-round use by children aged four years and over.
Look at them go!
The woom ORIGINAL 3 makes it easier for children aged four years and older to learn how to ride and continuously improve their skills. The upright riding position on the woom ORIGINAL 3 helps kids maintain their balance and at the same time keep an eye on everything going on around them. At only 5.4 kg, the woom ORIGINAL 3 is a real lightweight and therefore the best (and most popular) companion for those first longer rides on two wheels.
Please note: This product does not include a bike bell, front light, rear light or wide-angle Z reflectors. If your child plans on cycling on public roads and streets, their bike may need to meet certain standard requirements before it can be considered legal in your country of residence. In many countries, bikes must be equipped with a bike bell, front and rear lights, and reflectors. We strongly suggest checking the legal obligations and guidance for cyclists in your country to make sure that your child's woom bike complies with the relevant road traffic regulations.

Instructions for use
Find more information in our Service & Info area.
Our woom bikes don't come with any additional accessories. You need to add optional extras like kickstands and mudguards on our equipment page.
If your child plans on cycling on public roads and streets, their bike may need to meet certain standard requirements before it can be considered legal in your country of residence. In many countries, bikes must be equipped with a bike bell, front and rear lights, and wide-angle Z reflectors. As rules for cyclists and their equipment vary from country to country, find out about the regulations applicable to riding a woom bike in road traffic in your country or region, particularly regarding the use of lights, reflectors and other obligatory safety equipment.
Innovative frame
The superlight aluminum frame is the heart of the bike, ensuring a fun and safe riding experience. Thanks to its cleverly designed age-specific geometry, this superlight bike makes learning to ride super fun!
Child-specific hand brakes
Your child will immediately be able to spot the all-important rear brake – it's bright green! This color code system prevents them from mixing up the brakes, making for a safer ride. 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.
Knee-friendly stem
Our stem ensures a safe and lightweight connection between the handlebars and the headset. The sleek, rounded design, integrated handlebar clamp and recessed clamp bolts make it truly knee-friendly.
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.
Cranks with a narrow Q-factor
The crank length and distance between the pedals have been ergonomically adapted to fit children's bodies. This results in an optimum stance and natural movements. Pedaling? A piece of cake!
Compact chainguard
The closed chainguard not only has an eye-catching stylish design but also boasts a compact and sturdy construction, providing your child with effective protection against injuries and dirt. Goodbye oil stains!
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. Perfect for getting the most out of their ride!
Please note that as we work with various suppliers, the actual saddle on your woom bike may vary slightly from the images shown.
Practical quick-release seatpost clamp
The quick-release seatpost clamp offers a simple, quick and tool-free way to adjust the saddle height. It's even easy enough to be operated by children. On your pedals, get set, go!
All-round capable tires
Tires have a major influence on how a bike handles. That's why we've chosen tires that can be used for a broad variety of terrain for our bikes. Whether your child is riding on tarmac, gravel or dirt, our lightweight tires will ensure maximum grip in any weather and on any surface, whether in a straight line or cornering.
Smartly engineered wheels
A bike needs really good wheels to get rolling. So that's exactly what we've given our bikes. What makes a woom wheel so unique is the sum of its parts: from the smooth-rolling hubs to the high-quality stainless steel spokes and our exclusive SOOPA DOOPA HOOPS rims.
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 cannot be replaced because the type, size or colour is no longer available, woom can provide a part regarded as a next-generation part to satisfy the claim made under the warranty. 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.
The guarantee applies internationally and can be transferred since it is tied to the product and not a person.
