With its Woom WOW, the specialist in kids’ bikes is introducing a whole new segment. The self-balancing balance bike is aimed at the very youngest children and is designed to ease the transition from sitting to active riding. It is intended to be more than just a toy – rather, a first step towards mobility that combines safety, fun and self-confidence. With its sophisticated design and innovative technology, Woom aims to create a gentle introduction to the world of two wheels.
The highlight: the Woom WOW is the first balance bike that stabilises itself! This allows children to learn how to balance and shift their weight in a playful way. An integrated mechanism also ensures that the handlebars automatically return to their original position after slight wobbles. This allows children to concentrate on riding without having to steer at the same time.
Weighing just 2.7 kilograms, it is pleasantly lightweight and therefore ideal for children between approximately nine months and three years of age (70–100 cm tall and weighing up to 20 kg). The frame is made from almost 98 per cent recycled, pollutant-tested composite material, which is robust, durable and environmentally friendly. Parents have also been taken into consideration: the handlebars can be folded down and aligned parallel to the frame, making storage and transport particularly easy. Another important feature is the very wide EVA tyres, which enable the bike to glide silently along.
A lovely detail is the little plush friend ‘Buddy’ sitting on the front of the bike. He is meant to be more than just an accessory – he is a companion, comforter and encourager all at once, as well as a loyal companion who accompanies the learning process and makes riding a playful experience.
The Woom WOW is available in Dreamy Sky, Soft Sprout and Pop Peach colours and costs 179 euros. It can be ordered directly here in the Woom online shop or from selected retailers.
