The Storm 16 is a great fit for kids around ages 4 to 6 (roughly 3'4" to 3'10" tall) who are ready to ride with real hand brakes instead of a coaster brake, building the same braking habits they'll use for years to come. Its rigid, lightweight frame and simple single-speed drivetrain keep the bike easy to handle on the Okanagan Rail Trail, Mission Creek Greenway, or the driveway. 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 set the saddle height so your child can plant a foot at stops and pedal comfortably, and we'll dial in the reach on the Tektro brake levers so small hands can brake confidently with two fingers. We'll also check helmet fit while you're in-store, since a properly fitted helmet matters as much as the bike itself. As your child grows, come back anytime for a quick fit check or adjustment. 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 do I need?
The Storm 16 comes in one size, built for kids roughly 3'4" to 3'10" tall. Since fit depends on inseam and coordination as well as height, 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 right for Okanagan Rail Trail rides?
Yes — the smooth, flat surface of the Okanagan Rail Trail and Mission Creek Greenway make great places for young riders to practice on the Storm 16, especially while they're still building confidence with hand brakes.

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.
