Woom GO 1 12in Balance Bike - Toddlers'

Before pedals come balance, and the woom GO 1 Balance Bike makes that first step feel easy

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"My 18-month-old took to this balance bike immediately. It's light enough that they can pick it up and move it without help, which made all the difference in those first sessions. I'm glad we can use it all the way through 3.5 years without needing to size up."

The GO 1 Balance Bike packs in the safety details that make the difference at this age. The steering limiter stops the handlebars from overturning and sending a toddler to the ground before they can self-correct. The green brake lever is sized for small fingers and minimal grip strength. The oversized grip ends cushion the falls that are part of learning. Together, they let kids focus on balance rather than recovering from the bike working against them.
