woom ORIGINAL 1
An innovative and ultralight 12″ balance bike designed for young children aged 18 months and over.
First time on two wheels
The woom ORIGINAL 1 introduces children to the fun world of cycling. This balance bike is designed to enable small children to easily hop on and roll away. Even if a child has only just started to walk, it helps them to confidently gain a sense of balance on two wheels – and have fun doing so.

Innovative frame
The superlight aluminum frame is the heart of the balance bike and ensures easy riding fun. Its geometry has been specifically designed for toddlers, with a low entry making it easy for even the youngest of riders to hop on and roll away. Thanks to the long seatpost and open seat tube, the saddle height can be adjusted over a broad range to accommodate your growing child.
Child-specific hand brake
Learning to operate a rear brake as early as possible makes it easier for your child to use brakes on a pedal bike later on and can prevent them from having accidents. 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. Thanks to its sleek, rounded design and recessed clamp bolt, the stem is a trusty "knee saver".
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. Its scooped design is engineered to provide continuous optimal support for your child. In short, these features make our saddle the ultimate all-rounder for every position – whether your child is sitting, standing or cruising at speed.
Please note that as we work with various suppliers, the actual saddle on your woom bike may vary slightly from the images shown.
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.
All-round capable tires
Tires have a major influence on how a bike handles. That's why we've chosen high-quality, lightweight and grippy tires with low rolling resistance for the woom ORIGINAL 1. This ensures smooth running and good grip whatever the terrain – whether paved, gravel or dirt roads. The reflective stripe on the tires' sidewall also ensures optimum visibility even in low-light conditions.
Smartly engineered wheels
Well-built wheels are essential for a good ride, which is why these are engineered with smooth-rolling hubs, high-quality stainless steel spokes and our exclusive rims aka the SOOPA DOOPA HOOPS. The extra narrow hub on the rear wheel ensures masses of leg clearance for your child while they're riding.
SURFBOARD-ready
The SURFBOARD Footrest is designed for kids to rest their feet and feel like they're surfing on clouds. The SURFBOARD Footrest is available as an accessory for the woom ORIGINAL 1.
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.
