And now this: the e-mountain bike for children

Most cyclists are already used to urban bikes, mountain bikes or even racing bikes with an auxiliary motor. But an e-mountain bike for children? This bike category is in the starting blocks at children's bike specialist Woom - and it could be another bike category where motorization causes head shaking for some and immense riding fun for others.

Austrian children's bike manufacturer Woom is presenting its first e-mountain bike at Eurobike 2019. Technical details are already recognizable, but the name is still a secret. A Fazua drive is on board and the bike is intended for children aged seven and over. "With the all-terrain e-bike, we want to give families the opportunity to broaden their horizons and experience more fun and enjoyment outdoors together," says Woom CEO Christian Bezdeka proudly.

The makers of Woom are highlighting these features for the new bike in their portfolio: the smooth drive gives younger riders a natural, safe riding experience, it is lightweight and the motor and battery can be removed so that it can also be used as a sporty mountain bike. The e-mountain bike is available in Woom size 5 and is recommended with 24-inch wheels for riders aged 7 to 11 years or with a height of 128 to 145 cm. With the e-mountainbike 6, the Austrian children's bike specialist covers the age group from 10-14 years and body heights from 140 to 165 cm. The price tag for model 5 is 2,890 euros, while model 6, at 2,990 euros, is likely to make a noticeable dent in the family budget. The e-mountainbike from Woom is expected to be available from spring 2020.
