16" Bike

I am looking for a good bike for Amelia for next summer. Looks like there are quite few options for 20" bikes , but not that many for 16". All 16" will be single speed (I haven't find even one which is not). I am trying to avoid coaster brakes, so she can learn hand braking. 16" Trek and Specialized both have coaster brakes and are pretty heavy for a child bike.
Hotrock 16 (19.5 lbs).I also like low handlebar rather than BMX style, but this will be easy to replace.

Here is a list of bikes I like, most sold online only and not all available in Canada.
All have aluminum frame and v-brakes

The good thing  about this bike, you can go and check it at the store. Others have to be ordered online.
