woom Original 6
The woom 6 is one of the lightest 26″ wheel kids bikes available, making it easy to manoeuvre. This is worth thinking about if your child is having to lift their bike up and down steps, or if you’re lifting onto a bike rack on a regular basis.
The gearing is well suited to riding up hills with an easy gear for climbing.
We’ve reviewed several of the smaller single speed woom bikes and were very impressed with the quality and performance – they handled the daily school run all winter and still looked as good as new. Check out our woom 2 review and woom 3 review.
woom Original 4
The Austrian kids bike brand woom is a relative newcomer to the UK, with a range of very lightweight bikes that are proving popular with Cycle Sprog readers.
The woom 4 is their 20″ wheel offering, and at 7.7 kg it’s one of the lightest geared bikes on the market.
The woom 4 is a good choice for urban cycling, as you can add in an optional extra kickstand for ease of parking up when you’ve got where you want to go.
You can also fit the woom mudguards (which are available to buy separately) to prevent your child getting too much splashback when they’re cycling on raining days.
However, this isn’t just a bike for riding on road. The woom 4 is fitted with Kenda Small block tyres, meaning you can confidently venture onto gravel and grass without any worries.
We’ve reviewed two single speed, smaller Woom Bikes and were very impressed – they did the daily school run throughout winter and looked as good as new at the end of it. Read our review of the woom 2 and the woom 3 review to find out more.
If you’re looking for a quality 20″ wheel bike with gears for general use then this bike is certainly worthy of consideration.
