The Woom EXPLORE e 5 is powered by the MAHLE XS30 drive unit — delivering 250W and 45 Nm of torque for effortless assistance up to 25 km/h. The support is perfectly calibrated for children, responding naturally to pedalling effort without sudden surges, so young riders always feel in control.
At just 1.2 kg, the 171 Wh battery sits externally on the frame for quick, tool-free removal and recharging via USB-C. With a range of up to 50 km on flat terrain in the lowest power mode, kids can ride further than ever before — and without the battery fitted, the EXPLORE e 5 rides just like a regular bike.
Three child-appropriate support modes can be switched using the button on the battery itself, keeping the handlebars clean and distraction-free. Connect via the MAHLE SmartBike app to monitor battery level, speed and support mode in real time — and fine-tune the settings as your child grows in confidence.
Promax hydraulic disc brakes with a 160 mm front rotor and 140 mm rear rotor deliver consistent, powerful braking across all terrains and weather conditions — even at full pedal-assist power. Child-specific, adjustable brake levers ensure reliable stopping with minimal hand strength required.
The rubber-coated microSHIFT Acolyte trigger shifter makes changing gear simple and satisfying — just a thumb and forefinger is all it takes. The 8-speed setup with an 11–32T cassette gives riders the range to tackle steep climbs, rolling hills and long flat stretches with ease.
Schwalbe Billy Bonkers 24″ × 2″ folding tyres deliver excellent traction on tarmac, gravel and forest trails alike. Their micro-pattern tread keeps rolling resistance low while reflective sidewall stripes add visibility in low-light conditions — perfect for year-round adventures.
Every aspect of the EXPLORE e 5’s lightweight AA 6061 aluminium frame is engineered specifically for children aged 7 to 11. The slightly extended riding position improves balance and comfort on longer routes, while the angular tube profile gives it a bold, sporty look that kids will love.
The clever ABC fit markers on both the stem and seatpost take the guesswork out of bike setup. Simply set the saddle height and match the stem to the same letter — a perfectly dialled-in riding position in seconds. The Selle Royal–developed, water-resistant saddle ensures lasting comfort on every journey, whatever the distance.
