Visions and Values


We make premium, durable, ultralight children's bikes. Why? Because we believe that when kids get a chance to ride a bike truly built for their needs, their confidence will surge and they’ll fall in love with cycling.
Out riding on the trail, we love a good shortcut. But when it comes to making bikes, we never cut corners. Every woom bike is designed to be a vessel for endless adventure, built to be put to the test, passed down, resold, shared, and loved for years to come.
In fact, our mission is to craft products of such exceptional quality that they create lifelong memories for children and their parents. But we don’t just build bikes for kids; we aim to build for the future by inspiring the next generation of cyclists.
From promoting climate-friendly transportation to encouraging healthy and active lifestyles, to facilitating independence, and fostering community, we see cycling as a powerful force for good in society.
In our expert opinion, it pays dividends to a child’s future to start them riding early. We’ve seen it firsthand hundreds of times. Kids learning to ride on a woom bike at 2 or 3 years old. Actually pedaling, with no training wheels, beaming with pride. And this blast of confidence doesn’t just stay on the bike. It carries over to the rest of their life.
But it wasn’t always this way. For decades, children’s bikes were treated as an afterthought. Heavy frames, nearly half the weight of the rider. Cheap, clunky components not suited for children. Awkward training wheels, impractical brakes, and a lack of safety features.
Since our founding in 2013, we’ve been on a mission to change that. Our mission guides everything we do, especially how we design our bikes. From our smallest woom WOW balance bike crafted for babies just starting to walk, to our mountain bikes made for off-roading teens, we prioritize comfort, ease, safety, and durability. It’s all in the details:
- Child-Friendly Ergonomics: When it comes to children's needs, we make no compromises. 90% of our components are developed specifically for children and produced exclusively for woom. This means that our bikes are meticulously designed to match the specific anatomical needs of children.
- Lightweight Components: Weight is critical to ensuring a fun cycling experience – doubly so when the rider is learning. Our bikes are 40% lighter than conventional children's bikes. This translates to easier maneuvering, turning, and balancing, and of course, more confidence.
- Intuitive Features: What happens when you eliminate all the friction points of traditional kids’ bikes? Kids can hardly wait for their next ride! From color-coded brakes to kid-friendly gearing, kids can always feel the woom difference.
- Safety-Focused Design: When kids feel safe and comfortable on their bike, it makes a huge difference. Steering limiters help avoid overturning, tension- and reach-adjustable brake levers ensure safe stopping, grips with bar-end protection prevent hand scuffs, pinch-free magnetic helmet clasps make things easy, and a long wheelbase provides stability.
- Long-Lasting Value: Thanks to their incredibly durable frames and high-quality components, a woom bike is designed to last far longer than the 2 years it fits one child, making it ideal to pass down to younger siblings or resell. In the open market, used woom bikes typically sell for 75% of their retail price after years of use.
