The Woom GO 3 on Test

Ultra-light, thoughtfully designed, and safety-focused: the Woom GO 3 on test aims to make young riders’ entry into the big world of two wheels as smooth as possible. Thanks to a total weight of just 5.8 kg, a high-rise handlebar, and clever design details, it promises to combine comfort and control. But can it deliver and where are its limits?

The Woom GO 3 is clearly designed for kids who are just starting out or transitioning from a balance bike to a pedal bike. Weighing just 5.8 kg, it comes in at a close second behind the KUbikes 16S Superlight in terms of weight – though unlike the 16S Superlight, our test model came fitted with a kickstand.

Its easy handling isn’t just due to its low weight, but also thanks to the low step-through frame and tall BMX-style riser bar, which offers good visibility and a stable, upright riding position.

Thoughtful details like grip end protectors and tool-free brake lever adjustability show how much attention Woom give to their bikes’ specs. With a steering limiter, tacky grips, and easy-to-use quick release levers, the GO 3 clearly prioritises control and safety. A minor downside: the kickstand tends to rattle over uneven terrain. Additional accessories like a bell or clip-on fenders can be added directly in the Woom shop.

The relatively skinny tires roll well on asphalt and gravel, though they offer little cushioning on loose or rough terrain. Then again, this bike isn’t built for serious trails or aggressive riding. It’s made for everyday adventures and neighbourhood explorations.

Conclusion

The Woom GO 3 proves to be a lightweight and safe entry-level bike with smart upgrade options for everyday convenience. Its low weight, upright and stable riding position, and easily adjustable brake levers (no tools needed!) make all the difference for small or less confident riders. While it lacks the grip and ruggedness required for real off-road use, it’s an excellent and well-rounded choice for everyday riding.
