Busy bees and budding riders will love our Novara Stinger 12 in. kids' bike, thanks to its removable training wheels, intuitive rear coaster brake and fun styling.

Sturdy high-tensile steel frame is almost as tough as they are and is designed to stand up to demanding use
Rear coaster brake is easy and intuitive to use; simply backpedaling engages the brake
Removable training wheels and built-in full-length chainguard help kids learn to ride without fear of tipping over or catching pants in the chain
BMX-style handlebar is comfortable and fun; pads enhance safety while front mud guard helps keep things clean
Convenient handle is integrated into the back of the saddle for easy carrying or control
Specs on the Novara Stinger 12 in. bike are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Comments about Novara Stinger 12'' Kids' Bike - 2012:

My 4 year old learned how to ride on this bike (after riding on a balance bike for a couple years). However, this bike is not very rewarding. Overdone knobby tires, tight rear wheel / coaster brake assembly, and 20 lbs add up to be an unproductive combination. He has to peddle extremely hard to get this thing moving, and it shouldn't be that difficult. I am considering returning the bike, with hope we can find a lighter bike.

First Learning

Comments about Novara Stinger 12'' Kids' Bike - 2012:

I picked up this bike for my 3 year old (his first "big boy" bike). He is very comfortable riding it (read stable). Great bright graphics for a child and an all around "fun" bike. This bike is well priced and a good value. Makes a great first bike for starting a child starting a life-long love of cycling.
