I can't imagine a child who is enthusiastic about bikes wanting to ride a " woom"

My kids have the luxury of a decent fleet of mountain bikes - most are bikes I've handed down as I buy something newer. I'm about to repkace my 2018 giant full e pro, and whilst the kids have been able to ride it since they were 9 yo , NONE of them want it as their main bike- too heavy . By 12 yo , enthusiastic kids want something they can toss around in the air , preferably with reasonable brakes and suspension .

That 26" would totally fit me. But it's more money than I spent on my Yamaha.

It will be interesting to see if Woom allow their ebikes to be eligible for their UpCycling loyalty program, where if you buy the next size up bike within 2 years of purchase you get a refund of 40% of the msrp from the original purchase. If so a parent could be looking at paying more like six grand for 7-years (ages 7-14) of right-sized ebikes. As for the brand I’ve only heard good things about Woom children’s bikes from the two wheeling tots review site, and they have a Woom Off line of children’s MTB’s
