GO 1 (12")

Learning to ride is fun and safe on this superlight balance bike with 12″ wheels and a safety-conscious design for toddlers 18 months and up. Balance bikes are the perfect launchpad for learning to ride. Your child will gradually pick up the basics of cycling – mounting the bike, balancing, braking, and steering. The woom GO 1 is easy and intuitive for your child to handle, so they can stay safe and feel confident as they begin their cycling journey. It all starts with balance bikes! FEATURES: Kids Just LEAN on Training Wheels – They LEARN on Balance Bikes: Balance bikes are a fun way for your child to pick up the core skills they need to ride a bike – balance and coordination. Training wheels have the opposite effect. Instead of learning to balance, your child will develop bad habits that they'll struggle to unlearn later down the line. All the foremost cycling experts now agree that balance bikes are the best way to learn to ride. Minimum weight. Maximum fun: Lighter bikes are so much easier to handle – and that means your child can focus on having fun. That's why our woom GO balance bikes only weigh around a quarter of your child's weight. You'll know you made the smart choice when you inevitably end up carrying your child and their balance bike (you can thank us later). Child-specific geometry: The innovative frame design allows your child to maintain their natural walking posture, making riding the balance bike easy and intuitive for them. They'll feel comfortable and in control at all times, and thanks to the low entry, they can get on and off the bike easily and safely. Protective handlebar grips: With their narrow diameter and ergonomic shape, our handlebar grips are made for small hands. Your child won't have any trouble holding on tight with a good grip. Plus, the special material and large outer diameter reduce the risk of your child getting injured. Child-friendly brake levers: It's so important that your child can brake safely whenever they need to, so all our woom GO balance bikes have child-friendly hand brakes. Your child will immediately be able to spot the all-important rear brake because the lever and rear brake pads are both green. Plus, you can make sure they can easily reach the brake by adjusting the distance between the lever and the grip using the little barrel adjuster. Steering assistance: Children who are learning to ride a balance bike often end up falling because they overturn the handlebars when they're setting off or turning corners. That's not a problem on the woom GO. All our balance bikes come with a flexible steering limiter designed to keep your child safe. Think of it as their tiny trusty co-pilot. Handy saddle design: The gently curved banana shape of the saddle on our balance bikes prevents your child from sliding off as they run along. But that's not all! The ergonomic saddle also has a textured underside to make it nice and easy for you to carry the balance bike back home when your child is too tired to ride.
