What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"What makes the WOW different from every other balance bike is that it actually stays upright on its own. The self-centering handlebars and self-balancing design mean a 9-month-old can sit on it and wobble without tipping, which is not something any other bike on the market can say. For a grandparent or parent looking for a first birthday gift that does something genuinely new, this is it."The woom WOW is purpose-built for the window between standing and balance biking, ages 9 to 36 months, when most bikes are simply too demanding. The self-centering handlebars return to a straight-ahead position on their own, so a baby can focus entirely on shifting their weight rather than also managing steering. The wide EVA tires glide silently across floors without marking them, the rounded edges soften the inevitable tumbles, and the whole bike weighs just 6 pounds so it is easy for a toddler to get on and off independently. The easy-carry function folds the handlebars parallel to the frame for a parent or grandparent to carry it in one hand. It arrives fully assembled, made from up to 98% recycled composite material, and includes a Buddy soft toy. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
