The woom GO 3 is the 16-inch bike in woom's GO line and lists at 13 lbs. It runs on an AA 6061 aluminum frame with two independently operated mini V-brakes, and the rear brake has a green lever and green pads so a child can learn which one to use first. woom adds a steering limiter, a rubber ring between fork and frame that stops the bar from swinging around in a fall, and a pre-installed kickstand. The page lists ages 4 to 6, rider height 41 to 47 inches and an inseam of 19.1 to 25.2 inches, with a 132 lb weight limit. There is no coaster brake on this size. At $499 it was the most expensive bike here when checked, and its 19-inch minimum saddle height is higher than the Prevelo's 16.9 inches.
