Resale used to be seen as a threat. Now companies like Woom, Lovevery, and Hanna Andersson have discovered it’s one of their cheapest customer acquisition channels. Your four-year-old needs a bike. The cheap ones from a big box store will work, sure—but they’ll be heavy, clunky, and harder for them to learn on. The premium Woom bike weighs half as much—but it costs $400. You want the best for your kid, but do you want to drop that much for something they’ll use for a few months?
