woom NOW
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
woom’s NOW is a kids' utility bike available in three sizes for children aged 6 to 14 (44” to 65” tall). Each build has size-specific components and geometry. Kids love the upright riding position, integrated bell, and stable ride. Parents appreciate the bike’s cargo-carrying capacity, powerful brakes, and strong resale value. Complaints are minor, but the grip shifter and the single-sided kickstand fall short of expectations. Though expensive, parents consider the NOW an excellent kids’ commuter bike and perfect for school runs.Expert Reviews
