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.
