Designed as an all-around bike, the wooms easily tackle everything from long paved rides to basic dirt trails.The woom 4 and 5 are basically the same bike, but vary in size. We’ll cover both bikes together in this woom 4 review and woom 5 review.
To truly understand the beauty and the price of these woom bikes, you need to understand a bit more about what makes them sooo kid-friendly compared to other bikes.

KID-FRIENDLY WEIGHT
The woom 4 and woom 5 are the LIGHTEST 20” and 24” bikes sold in America. The woom 4 is just over 16 lbs, while the woom 5 is just over 18.
From long rides with parents to root-strewn forest trails, and even casual neighorhood rides, the woom 4 and 5’s lightweight frame does kids a HUGE favor.
KID-FRIENDLY GEOMETRY
Woom bikes are 100% focused on kids’ smaller bodies and built to accommodate the everyday, all-around child rider. As a pioneer in designing bike geometry specifically for kids, woom helped blaze the trail for better kids bikes, and should be credited with popularizing kid-friendly bike geometry in the US. Cheap kids bikes are built with mass produced parts and can’t be fully customized.
Low Center of Gravity
The woom 4 and 5 have a lower center of gravity, which means the child is lower to the ground, resulting in a bike that is more stable and easier to balance.
Easy to Pedal
Number 1… with narrower crank arms, the pedals are closer together than your average bike. This places a child’s feet closer together and more aligned with their hips. This allows a child to pedal more efficiently by pushing directly down on the pedal, rather than splayed out at an angle.
Number 2… the geometry of the bike produces an optimal knee bend while pedaling. In a nutshell, your child’s knee won’t come up as high as it would on a cheaper bike. Knees that are too high makes pushing down on the pedals much harder.
Body Position
To top it all off, the woom 4 and 5 frame designs and handlebar placement put the rider in a semi-upright position with plenty of room in the cockpit. This position is the most natural and comfortable position for your average child rider.
KID-FRIENDLY, HIGH-END COMPONENTS
To build the ideal kid’s bike, all woom bikes feature top-notch components that are also specifically designed to work with the smaller bodies of a child.
Gears
The woom 4 and 5 both have an 8 gear SRAM X4 derailleur and grip shifter.
Tires
Mounted on woom’s super lightweight and durable Soopa-Doopa-Hoops aluminum rims, the woom 4 and 5 feature 1.85″ wide Schwalbe Little Joe tires.
Brakes
To provide top-notch braking capabilities for shorter kids fingers, the woom’s also feature ergonomically adapted short-reach brake levers that are easy to pull and easy to engage.
woom‘s secret power comes in its attention to details. The quality and craftsmanship of the woom 4 and woom 5 are worth every penny, which you’ll see for yourself the minute your child hops on their woom and glides away.

I took my 3 year old daughter to the bike store looking for something lighter, because she struggled alot with balancing on cheaper brands with heavier frames. She jumped on Woom 3 and literally rode the bike put of the store! 👌 Fantastic bikes and super light, which means incredibly easy to learn.
I can absolutely recommend woom series for everyone who looks for children's frist bike!
Exactly this! Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s worth it unless you actually experience it with your own eyes!
I bought my daughter the Cleary hedgehog when she was 3. She’s 5 now but I won’t size her up until shes ready for the 24 inch tire. The price tag of Woom is just too high to keep up with their line of bikes. I will say their bikes hold their value well. If I were to buy the Woom 5 I could easily sell it on Facebook for $350-400. So it’s not a complete loss and my kid would definitely enjoy it for a few years. Nice review
nice video, very well done, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Nice video. At 2:14 you see a dock bike stand. Where did you get this?
I can't find the exact listing we purchased it from, but it's similar to this: amzn.to/3JUunT0 (affiliate link)
I'm getting my Woom 5 tomorrow, this vid makes me more excited!
It's the besssssssst!! Enjoy!
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Thanks, I agree! My first ride on it today was super fun. I got a green one.
Very useful. I will buy one because of this video. Well done!
So happy we could be helpful to you!
Hello. I need help attaching the wheel reflectors on the front and rear wheel.
If you call woom's customer service, they can walk you through it!
Did the wooms just get heavier? The website is listing 17.9lbs and 20.3lbs for the 4 and 5 now.
Yes, but those weights also now include pedals and a kickstand
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Do you mean that the previously-advertised bike weights did not include pedals or a kickstand? 🤨 The kickstand, I could _maybe_ understand doing without (lots of kids won't use them, anyway) -- but no reason for any bike (except balance bikes) to be sold without pedals. #SellingIt
$650? Insane.
We totally get that not everyone wants to spend that much money on a bike, but we’ve never had anyone buy a Woom that regretted the choice. They truly are exceptional in every way. That check out Guardian or Decathlon kids bikes for more budget-friendly options that we’ve tested and happily recommend.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Well, even those are expensive for bikes that kids will outgrow quickly, according to their own (Guardian's) size charts.
I think the features are nice, but they're still gimmicky and I don't think the extra cost is reasonable over anything else.
For example, the single brake lever for front and rear "to avoid flipping over the bar" if too much front brake is used, that is easily avoided by adjusting the front brakes so that they don't clamp down as hard on the front wheel - I did that as a kid to my own BMX bike.
Stop this bull shit. Woom 4 without suspension fork is the same weight s as my daughter’s Specialized HotRock 20 with it. Woom is overpriced falsely advertised bike
Light weight just make them weak
You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, a woom bike isn’t for everyone. :-) But the woom 4 with pedals and kickstand weighs just 17.9 pounds. It’s the lightest 20” bike on the US market.
@@dmtmirful you don’t have to be so mean.
