woom Original 3
Note: This bike has now been discontinued and is only available secondhand
woom are an Austrian kids bike company and their products are now available in the UK. Think of them as the central European equivalent of Islabikes in terms of attention to detail, and you’re not far off the mark.
The woom Original 3 weighs in at just 5.5 kg making it one of the lightest 16″ wheel bike we’ve reviewed. This is due to almost every part on the woom 3 being made from lightweight aluminium.
The bike can be upgraded to have a kickstand – ideal for neat storage and preventing the bike from getting thrown on the ground.
A nice touch is that the rear brake block and the rear brake lever both have green on them, so you can call out to your child to pull on the green brake – simple but effective!
