woom EXPLORE 5

My wife ordered and I can spend my Sunday screwing the crap together “in a few simple steps.” I'm annoyed and wouldn't order it again like that. 2 points because the child likes it.

Great bike by all means. My son loves it, and must say I like too. Only down side is that I'm asked all the time to go biking regardless of the weather.

From balance bikes to Explorer bikes, we are big Woom Bike fans! Super quality!

Love the bike overall

Our family third Woom bike. Simply the best!

We have been loyal Woom customers for years. Every bike gets better. Love the new disc brakes.

My son just got the Woom EXPLORE 5 in magnetic blue for his 9th birthday, and it’s been a total game changer. He’s been riding Woom bikes since the Woom 1 and had ling out grown his woom 3. I was a bit worried about skipping the woom 4, but woom 5 ended up being the perfect next step for him. Despite never having used gears before, he hopped on and figured out the trigger shifter in like 5 minutes. The gear transitions are smooth and intuitive and the bike is so lightweight that so he can easily carry it up stairs by himself. The magnetic blue color is stunning.

Daughter loved the new bike. Matte finish looks very good and disk brakes are much better. It's expensive but resale value of these bikes is very good.

Unlike our previous woom, this one does not have a way for my kid to know what gear he is on! My son absolutely hates this and if I would have realized beforehand I probably would not have purchased.

very nice

We LOVE this bike, with the exception of the pedals. The smooth plastic was not grippy enough and my daughter's feet kept slipping. Pretty easy fix with a relatively inexpensive pedal upgrade. But given the price of the bike, it should come with decent pedals that have some grip.

Not only is the bike itself amazing, but the customer service WOOM offers is exceptional. We have been part of the WOOM family with both our kids and both have a passion for riding. The EXPLORE was a fantastic suggestion for our son!

Gave to kid that needed next size up bike. It is easy to assemble looks great it’s lightweight and seems like it’s built good.

This was the next size for our son, it’s our third one we have bought just for him! Phenomenal bike and unparalleled customer service from woom- every time!! They are an awesome company with servants heart, grateful to support their vision and company!

I'm very pleased with my decision to go with this model over the regular 5 or the OFF 5. I'm not a huge fan of rim brakes at this point if they can be avoided and my daughter wasn't really interested in a mountain bike, not to mention the lack of color choices for that model. From the outset this bike has some standard parts found on full size bikes of modest price from trek or specialized with the rear derailleur and disc brakes. Sure, they're not top of the line but they're completely serviceable both in their use and ability to be repaired or replaced should the need arise. The shifting works well and the hydraulic disk brakes have good modulation and stopping power when needed. You can use the stock pedals or you can buy aftermarket for more grip or for light up pedals as they use standard threads. Likewise, the front fork has standard spacing for either a replacement skewer or for mounting on roof based transport methods that involve taking off the front wheel and using a quick release. I can mount it in my Seasucker just as I could any full sized bike.Good parts and serviceability aside, the main reason I bought this over the other models was the ability to change the fit as my daughter grows. I plan on keeping this bike for a long time and with the adjustability of the front end will help it will stick with her longer than other models that are limited to just seat height changes. The 5 is just a little bit big for her currently at her 51" height as she's slightly on her tippy-toes when on the saddle but I have little doubt she'll grow into it quickly. Seems like a nice, stable ride that will do well not only on neighborhood roads and paved bike paths but, with the equipped tires, could handle a bit of dirt as well. I look forward to seeing what my girl can do with this as she grows and the bike grows with her.
