Woom
Kids' bikes that are actually built for kids
Woom builds pedal bikes for children that weigh roughly half what a big-box kids' bike weighs, with brakes small hands can actually pull. It is the only brand here that is not electric, and it is on the floor because it is the one we would put our own children on.
- Best for
- Parents who have watched a child give up on a bike that was simply too heavy for them.
- Range
- 5 models — we can order any of them
The weight thing, again
A department-store 16-inch kids’ bike can weigh half as much as the child riding it. Imagine being handed a bicycle that weighs 60 percent of your body weight and then being told to have fun. This is the actual reason a great many children decide they do not like cycling, and it gets misdiagnosed as fear or lack of interest almost every time.
Woom’s entire engineering brief is weight. Lighter frame, lighter wheels, lighter everything. The effect on a nervous six-year-old is immediate and slightly startling to watch.
Brakes they can reach
The second thing nobody checks: brake levers on cheap kids’ bikes are adult levers, requiring adult hand strength at an adult reach. A child who cannot confidently stop will not confidently go. Woom’s levers are designed around a child’s grip, which sounds like a footnote and is in fact the whole game.
Why a kids’ brand sits in an e-bike shop
Because the most common reason adults here buy an e-bike is to ride with their family, and that falls apart if the eight-year-old is miserable. Getting the child’s bike right is what makes the parent’s bike get used. We would rather sell both correctly than sell one and watch it sit.
Sizing is not guesswork
Woom sizes by the child, not the birthday. Bring them in — the fitting takes ten minutes and saves you buying the wrong size twice.

Kids' pedal bike
GO
Woom's core line and the one most parents want — balance bikes through to first proper pedal bikes, at roughly half the weight of a department-store equivalent.
- Light enough for a child to pick up and right unaided
- Brake levers sized and sprung for small hands
- Six sizes from first balance bike to a 20-inch geared bike
Kids' mountain bike
OFF
Woom's off-road bike with a rigid carbon fork. Trail-capable without the weight penalty that ruins most children's mountain bikes.
- Carbon fork — light where it matters most
- Grippy tires for grass, dirt and park trails
- Dramatically lighter than a big-box kids' mountain bike
Kids' balance bike
WOW
Woom's self-balancing bike for toddlers — the very first step, for children from around nine months. Not a bike you pedal; a bike that teaches balance before anything else.
- For ages roughly 9 to 36 months
- Self-balancing design
- The step before a balance bike
Kids' mixed-terrain bike
EXPLORE
The all-rounder. Built for children who ride to school on pavement and then straight onto a park trail without changing bikes.
- Handles pavement and light trail equally
- Geared, for real distance
- The size where family rides genuinely start working
Kids' mountain bike — suspension
OFF AIR
The OFF with a proper air suspension fork. For children riding genuinely rough ground often enough that a rigid fork has stopped being fun.
- Real air suspension, tuned for a child's weight
- Same obsessive weight standard as the rest of the range
- The most capable bike woom makes

Ride a Woom — and then ride something else
The most useful test ride is a comparison. Try this brand against the one you were not considering; that is usually where the decision actually gets made.
