The Storm 16 Coaster is built for kids around ages 4 to 6 (roughly 3'5" to 3'10" tall) who are ready to graduate from a balance bike to real pedaling, brakes, and confidence on two wheels. Its rigid frame, coaster brake, and simple single-speed drivetrain keep the learning curve gentle, whether that's practicing in the driveway or rolling along Mission Creek Greenway with the family. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Our team will adjust the saddle height so your child can comfortably reach the pedals and get a foot down at stops, and we'll check that the C-Star brake lever reach fits their hand size before they're pedaling on their own. We'll also walk through a proper helmet fit while you're in-store, since a good fit makes a real difference for confidence and safety. As they grow, we're always happy to re-check fit and make adjustments at either location. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

Q: What size Norco Storm 16 Coaster do I need?
The Storm 16 Coaster comes in one size, built for kids roughly 3'5" to 3'10" tall (ages 4–6). Since fit is about more than just height — inseam and coordination matter too — we recommend checking the geometry chart (linked above) and bringing your child in-store so our team can confirm the fit in person.

Q: Is the Norco Storm 16 Coaster right for Mission Creek Greenway?
Yes — the smooth, flat surfaces of Mission Creek Greenway and the Okanagan Rail Trail are ideal for a first pedal bike like the Storm 16 Coaster, giving young riders a predictable, low-stress place to build skills and confidence.

Q: How do I know when my child has outgrown their bike?
A good rule of thumb is that your child should be able to comfortably stand over the frame with both feet flat on the ground and reach the handlebars and brake levers without stretching. If their knees are coming up high on the pedal stroke or the saddle is maxed out, it's likely time to size up — our team can check this for you at either Fresh Air location.
