In short
- Size is measured by wheel diameter, in inches.

01
The size guide at a glance
Ages are a guide: your child's height and inside leg remain the best criteria.
02
Why weight matters so much
½
A standard kids' bike can weigh almost half the child's body weight.
It's like an adult riding a 35 kg bike! A bike that's too heavy tires the child, slows learning and knocks confidence.
That's why we chose Woom : very light bikes, with brakes made for small hands and geometry designed for confidence.

No. A bike that's too big is heavier and harder to control, which slows learning and confidence. Better to get the right size today.
