First, let me emphasize that we absolutely love the bike. My 10-year-old daughter is thrilled with it, and it's been a fantastic experience overall. That said, there are a few areas where I think the product could be improved: - I would really prefer not to have a proprietary charging interface for the battery. Having to carry the dedicated charger everywhere is less convenient than being able to use a standard high-wattage USB-C charger. It also makes purchasing a second charger unnecessarily expensive, as replacements cost well over €100. - Requiring the battery to be removed for charging is somewhat inconvenient. I understand the cost-saving rationale, but my daughter struggles with both removing and, especially, reinstalling the battery. The connection at the bottom can be difficult to align and engage properly. - It would be great if the battery were integrated into the frame. I realize this would likely increase the cost, but with the current design we feel compelled to remove the battery whenever the bike is parked in a public place to reduce the risk of theft. Overall, these are relatively minor concerns compared to how much we enjoy the bike, but I wanted to share them as constructive feedback for future iterations.

Pedal-assist for kids
The MAHLE drive system provides just the right amount of power, without overwhelming your child or accelerating all of a sudden. Instead, the assistance is intuitive and smooth, supporting your child's natural movements. So you can rest assured that they're as safe as can be whenever they're out on their bike.
Child-appropriate modes
The three support modes meet the abilities and needs of children to perfection. You can control them by pressing the button on the battery or using the MAHLE SmartBike app. With no distracting display on the handlebars, your child can stay focused on the ride.
Ultralight removable battery
Weighing in at just 1.2 kg, the battery for the woom EXPLORE e is lighter than light. It sits on the outside of the frame, making it easy to remove and put back again. And what about charging it? Just grab your USB-C cable. Assistance is provided up to 25 km/h and can run at the lowest level for up to 50 km.
There’s an app for that
More control = more opportunities! Connect your child's woom EXPLORE e to the >>MAHLE SmartBike app and unlock access to handy features, such as recording ride data and planning routes in detail. And you can stay in the know with live updates on the battery level, support mode and speed.
Independence from A to B
Your child's days are packed with little adventures – whether they're off to school, a sports club or their friend's house. And they rely on the taxi service of mum and dad a lot, right? But with the woom EXPLORE e, your child can even manage long, hilly routes all on their own. Pedaling into the world on their own gives them their independence and a nice confidence boost.
Fun times guaranteed
Every ride on the woom EXPLORE e is bound to be a fun-filled adventure thanks to the light weight and intuitive pedal-assist. You won't need to ask your child twice – they'll be out having the time of their life on their bike at every opportunity!
More quality, more time
Dreaming of active adventures outdoors with smiles on all the faces? The woom EXPLORE e is the key to becoming a family that rides together in harmony. And that's because your child won't struggle to keep up, so they won't end up getting frustrated. Shared moments like this will bring you closer together. Time to go out and make memories!
Features
Ergonomic frame design
Carefully tailored to kids aged 7 to 11, the geometry of the woom EXPLORE e 5 creates a slightly stretched-out position for maximum comfort. Ideal for longer rides and climb-packed routes!
Powerful disc brakes
The hydraulic disc brakes from Promax – together with the child-specific, adjustable brake levers – provide reliable stopping power, even in the most powerful pedal-assist mode. And that applies in all weather conditions and on all terrains.
Precise, smooth gear shifting
Time to change gears? Simple! Your child won't have any trouble using the high-quality, rubber-coated trigger shifter from microSHIFT. They can go up or down a gear in no time using their thumb and index finger.
All-terrain tires with good grip
Schwalbe's agile Billy Bonkers tires feature maximum micro teeth for optimal grip on all terrains – whether on tarmac, gravel or a forest trail. And they sure do roll smoothly over any surface!
Super comfy saddle
The water-resistant, hard-wearing saddle developed in collaboration with Selle Royal is tailored for each bike size, unlocking game-changing comfort with a design to suit the pelvis of children in the relevant age group.

New color: graphite grey
Say hello to graphite grey – a brand-new color exclusive to the limited edition woom EXPLORE e. The matte finish, black frame components and brown tire sidewalls give the e-bike a stylish look that leaves the right impression.

Ratings & Reviews
Our 7-year-old son is finally able to go on smaller tours. I've had an e-bike for a long time and our son always whined when we rode together. Now we're driving 40 to 50 km in a row together and he's having fun doing it. In addition, we can achieve an average of over 20 km/h. It's really not comparable with the past. The conventional bicycle was also not the first choice for the 5 km route to soccer. Back, it's almost completely slightly uphill. Fortunately, it's no longer a problem now.
WOOM Explore e 5: We think the e-bike that I bought for my 8-year-old daughter 2 weeks ago is basically great! It is easy, easy to handle and generally a great bike my daughter loves. However, we noticed a few things in the two weeks that I would like to note. 1. Why is the bike only available in grey? You're a children's bike manufacturer after all. We don't understand that! It is such a shame that no other color could be selected! 2. The battery is only secured by an elastic band and even if the bike is only parked for a few minutes, it must be unplugged and carried along, otherwise it could be stolen. The battery now costs around 500€ and is the most expensive thing on a bike. The battery can be locked on every e-bike, but not on your children's eBike. That is something that is absolutely incomprehensible to me. 3. There is no chain guard but only a gear protector that even slightly extends beyond the front gear. My daughter's trouser legs have been pulled between the cog and the chain several times now. I can understand that the Woom UP E mountain bike doesn't include a gear protector, but the Explorer e is your version of the everyday bike. I would be happy to receive information about a possible retrofit kit.
Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for your honest feedback! We understand your concerns. Our Explore e-bike is a limited edition with which we do not want to replace our Explore bikes, but to expand them. We have opted for the removable battery so that children can also use their bike like a normal bike. We also kept the color itself simple because, as already mentioned, the bike itself is a limited edition. We have therefore opted for a neutral color. We are constantly working on new projects and improvements. Your feedback helps us to respond even more to you as a customer. If you are looking for more information about your e-bike and its gear protection, feel free to send us a message to our customer service. I'm sure we'll find a good solution for you.:) Very best regards your WOOM team
The setup was fast and easy. Everything matched perfectly. The bike is lighter than our other 24" bike, even with the motor and the battery. Brakes, tires, gears, handlebars, seat—everything is very nice. My kids had some experience with e-scooters and with normal bikes. This bike became their favorite from the first 5 minutes of riding it, so I am considering buying a second one. They are 7 and 9 years old. The motor/hub works well and is silent. The original settings were a bit low, but I mapped it using the official app to "normal-eco," and on green, it is perfect for them. Yellow and purple are a bit too much (too easy for uphills) for their weight, but that is good since I assume for the next few years they will grow and become heavier. The only downside is it is quite expensive for a kids' bike, which can be a bit tricky if you live in a not-very-safe city and your kids are used to leaving things unattended.
Our daughter (7) has been riding the EXPLORE e 5 since last spring and for us it is the greatest bike we can imagine. The battery is the perfect pedal support in our mountainous village, she's finally having fun riding her bike because no mountain is too steep anymore. When she is cycling with her friends, we simply remove the battery so that everyone can cycle at the same level. For us, the most perfect e-bike for children, probably even the lightest - our daughter can even lift it herself and for us it is also the most stylish e-bike for children. Absolute purchase recommendation, we would buy it again and again, the price is definitely justified!!
