I've personally haven't even heard of these bikes until about 20 minutes ago and I thought maybe it's an electric bike. I read why they are so expensive and my boys racing bmx bikes were way better and way better and more expensive But built for actual bmx racing because they raced growing up. but before they raced they both had mongoose bikes and they weren't even the old school mongoose bikes that were top of the line with others like GT Diamond Back etc. as far as teaching them to learn..when my oldest son was about 3ish., I just told him don't stop peddling. he learned in a few hours. when my youngest was ready I told him the same and by the next day he knew how. this bike is not doing anyone any favors
Unfortunately, since we made this video, SRAM quit manufacturing the Automatix hub. You can still find them used on Ebay, though I doubt you'll find one on a 14" wheel. You could always have one built around the hub though.....if you wanted to go thru that much effort.....

Does the front wheel come off easily so you can mount it on a roof rack?
Nice video. I’d like to know if the SRAM Automatix Hub is no longer available in the Woom 3… Thanks!
Yeah, sadly they discontinued the hub a few years ago. We certainly miss it!
Do you know if I can get the Sram for the 14 inch? My son is spinning out the gear so i was thinking about having one installed.

What's the best bike for an adult?
It is pronounced voom.
I know. ;-) In the U.S. though, most folks pronounce it how I do in the video. Faux pas, I realize!
I believe they are made in Taiwan.
