We purchased this bike for our four year old. He had been using an REI balance bike up to this point. After 3 sessions on the bike, he is riding it like a champ! The size and weight are easy for him to handle. I especially appreciate the one handed braking feature. We directed him to use the green (back) brake lever to prevent braking too fast as he is learning. A very well made bike that we anticipate passing down to our other 2 children as they grow.
Woom bikes are great! Lightweight and durable. My son learned how to ride after 2 weeks of buying this bike.
My grandaughter who just turned five years old, received a Woom bike for her birthday from us, her grandparents. Her uncles gave her accesories for her bike, and she loves them all!
We started with the woom 1 when my daughter was 2 years old. She quickly became confident on a balance bike because it was so lightweight and easy for her to handle. Now that she's 4, we upgraded to the woom GO 3. We love that she can first use it as a balance bike and then transition to a pedal bike when she's ready. She had so much fun choosing her own bike color, bell, and basket, and she couldn't wait for it to arrive! The package arrived much faster than we expected. One of my favorite moments was watching her follow the instructions and help assemble her own bike. She even used the little tools to tighten the screws herself. I was so proud to see how much she has grown and how capable she has become. Of course, she immediately put her little rubber duck and some flowers in the basket before taking it outside. The bike is so light that she was comfortable using it as a balance bike right away, which really boosted her confidence. The lightweight frame makes a huge difference. Compared to other bikes we've tried, she can easily maneuver it, pick it up by herself, and feels much more confident learning to ride. We haven't even installed the pedals yet because she's already having so much fun gliding around. Seeing how comfortable she is on the bike makes us confident that she'll be riding independently very soon. Thank you, woom, for making such a thoughtfully designed bike that truly grows with kids. We couldn't be happier with our purchase!
I bought the Woom Go 3 for my 4yr old son. He has been biking since 2yrs old. Started out with the balance bike, then a pedal bike, and quickly outgrew it. Specifically, he would "spin out" basically want to go faster than the bike could go, uphills were dragging, etc. So I got him the Woom Go 3, and not only can he go faster, he has no problems going uphill, less drag, the free wheel hub sound he loves. I highly recommend the Woom Go 3.
After a few years on balance bikes, both my twins were able to pedal on these bikes within minutes. For a year, we delayed getting them pedal bikes because they couldn't get the motion down with the strength needed to move forward. These bikes made it easy!
Our son was THRILLED to receive this bike for his fourth birthday, and my husband was thrilled with how easy it was to assemble :)
My daughter loves the woom bikes! She learned on the 2 and is currently using the 3. She enjoys it so much.
