Woom 6 Pedal Bike 26”, 8-speed, Ages 10 to 14 Years

BuildAs with all Woom models, build quality is very solid. Brakes were a little finicky and required a fair amount of time to get the adjustments correct. But once properly adjusted, worked great.FeaturesWoom 6 has all of the same features as the other models. Kickstand and bell included in mine. It has a nice and smooth 9 speed SRAM shifter. Coming in at around 20 pounds, this bike is also very light.RideabilityBeing a relatively small adult, I was able to actually ride this model for quite a while. Although intended for a teenager, it is also suitable for a small adult. The bike was intended for my wife, who actually can not ride a bike so I figured this would be a great way for her to learn.Getting up and going on the Woom 6 is very easy. Pedaling and shifting is very smooth. I had actually installed the handlebars backwards. The brake pads were on the inside of the bike rather than in the front. This had caused the front wheel to be a little offset and my feet were rubbing the tire while turning. I had posted a picture online and a Woom rep actually noticed my mistake and messaged me. Once I corrected my mistake, the geometry was much better and all was well. Tip: Make sure the brake pads on the front wheel are in front of the forks.The only complaint I have about the Woom 6 is the seat. While being very sleek looking, it does not provide much padding. After an hour of riding, it was very apparent a new seat was required. Nothing a $20 seat couldn’t fix, but this would have to be my biggest complaint.Other optional items that I added include: Front basket, lights, bottle cage, lock & hemlet.ConclusionIn summary, Woom has done it again with the Woom 6. Great build quality, top notch features, lightweight, outstanding customer service all add up to an amazing package that any child (or small adult) would be lucky to have. With a few extra accessories, you can have the complete package that will provide hours of family enjoyment. If you’re in the market for a bike and are willing to pay a little more for a great value, then Woom should be your choice. Like my dad always says “You get what you pay for.”

This bike was more money than I was comfortable paying for a kid's bike but I decided to get it anyway because it is supposed to be light weight and I hoped that it would be easier for my 10-year old to maneuver thereby encouraging him to use the bike more. I was not disappointed. The bike is noticeably lighter than our previous steel bike and my son does use it quite a bit more! I do want to mention one issue. Only the middle of the frame is red, the other parts are white (to be fair this is shown on the photo, I just didn't notice). It would look better if the whole bike were the same color, and white especially only looks nice when it's spotlessly clean which needless to say is not something I want to commit to with a child's bike. This was the reason I took one star off, otherwise the bike is great and worth a little extra!

Superb quality and performance. My 12-yr-old is in bike heaven

great bike...extremely light and comfortable for my 10 year old son.

For a bike that is advertised as "Hassle-Free Assembly" and "All tools and easy-to-follow in-home assembly instructions are included", this is not so.You need another small hex screw driver which is not included (as a matter of fact, not even mentioned in the instruction manual)Additionally, front brake was not attached to the handle. This took a while for me to figure out in addition to trip I had to make to local home depot.
