FAQ
You can kit out your woom ORIGINAL 1 with the following equipment:
You'll find all of these items, as well as other compatible gear, in our online shop.
If you need to replace any parts due to wear and tear, you'll find a wide selection of original parts in our spare parts shop including grips, steering limiters, Schwalbe inner tubes and much more. Chip in the paint? We've also got touch-up paint in all colours.
When ordering accessories, gear or spare parts, make sure you pick the correct size.
There are threaded holes on the underside of the top tube and at the rear of the fork where the steering limiter can be attached. You'll also find three threaded holes near the seat tube on the underside of the frame where you can mount the SURFBOARD Footrest.
Our specially developed steering limiter helps your child to ride in a straight line and prevents crashes that are commonly caused by children overturning the handlebars. Our steering limiter has a progressive stop thanks to its elastic rubber O-ring. In the event that your child crashes, the handlebars won't cause an additional hurdle – the bars will turn past the limiter to lie flat on the ground, rather than getting in the way. This helps to reduce injuries. You may find that the rubber ring breaks in this scenario, which is an integral part of its design.
If it does break, it has done its job properly and can easily be replaced through our online shop.
The rear brake lever and brake pads on our balance bikes (woom ORIGINAL 1 and woom ORIGINAL 1 PLUS) and smaller pedal bikes (woom ORIGINAL 2 and woom ORIGINAL 3) are green. This helps your child to identify which brake they are using. It also prevents any mix-ups between the front and rear brake on models with both brakes. The green brake lever on the right-hand side of the bars controls the rear wheel. The black lever on the left stops the front wheel.
As the woom ORIGINAL 1 only comes with one brake, there is no danger of this kind of mix-up. But we've deliberately kept the brake green to help your child get familiar with the all-important rear brake so that when they transition to the next size bike they will intuitively know which brake to use first.
