Constantly new things for children, who are constantly growing, can be very expensive to buy - the new Austrian children's bike manufacturer WOOM offers a sustainable solution.
Oh, the dear little ones - how fast they grow! And how quickly you really notice as a parent, because the pupils always need new shoes and clothes. However, it becomes expensive for sports equipment such as a bicycle. Unless you bought the same thing from the new Austrian provider WOOM, because there you have a subscription and can always upgrade to the next larger format.
Its upcycle system allows the bike to grow with the child. Thanks to the Upcycle membership, the old bike can be returned within 24 months of buying a bike and you get a 40 percent discount on the next bigger bike.
The returned bikes - after they have been serviced, checked and worn parts replaced - are sold again at a lower price.
WOOM offers a total of five different sizes: from the balance bike for children from 1, 5 years to the bike with 8 gears, which is the last size before the adult bike. In addition, special attention is paid to the needs of the respective age during production. The small wheels, for example, have special “Small Hand Reach” child brakes so that even delicate children's hands can stop safely. The bikes are also characterized by their great lightness, but also particularly easy ascent and descent.
One of the concerns of the three creative minds behind WOOM, Christian Bezdeka and Sebastian Rahs, both industrial designers from the bicycle industry and Marcus Ihlendfeld, who comes from the marketing of a large automobile manufacturer, in addition to the practical and sustainable idea, an ecological and regional approach. The aluminum wheels are produced locally or in Europe, the handles and saddles are free of plasticizers and pollutants, the tires are certified to be low in pollutants and the paint used does not contain any toxins.
