Wheels
The wheels on ORIGINAL 2 are the 14″ aluminum type. The 14″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Woom ORIGINAL 2 has Coaster brakes installed. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
