Amazon.com Product Description
Classic BMX styling combined with quality safety features make this a great transition bike to bridge the gap between training wheels and a two-wheel ride. Black with yellow graphics, the Mongoose Invert features a sturdy high-tensile aluminum frame, with a 48-spoke black alloy wheel set, strong enough for off-road cycling, dirt jumping and trick riding. Front alloy caliper-style brakes and rear U-brakes provide the braking power needed for safe dependable stopping, while the alloy platform pedals are light and provide a large contact area for improved foot pedal stability. Other nice features include a two-bolt stem for easy adjustments and a padded saddle to make riding more comfortable.
About Mongoose
In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal–the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.
The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).
In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.
In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.

This seller is not reliable. I ordered this bike for my son for Christmas. The order stated that it would be delivered between Dec 10 and Dec 15. I called, a week after I ordered, to check the status of my order, because I had not heard from them, and they changed the date to Dec 19. I am hoping that they deliver but the delay and change of date has me worried. The product description says that the bike is “In Stock”, if this is true what is the delay?

Placed order for this bike on Dec. 7th. supposed to be delivered no later than 19th.rec’d email saying shipping had been delayed,it would ship around the 13th and we would receive an email confirmation of shipping. By the 16th, we had not rec’d an email so attempted to call customer service line. For 3-4 hours the line was busy. When finally connected,I waited 45 minutes before speaking with a representative, who emailed for another representative to contact me(which I have not been contacted)because she was only able to inform me that the item had not shipped and that it might ship in 3 to 5 days. On the 17th, rec’d email from amazon saying it has not shipped. I attempted to call customer service all day and have only gotten a busy signal. Still have not rec’d a response of any kind from babyage. Item still hasnt shipped. Was to be Christmas gift. Amazon.com shows babyage has instock with 4-5 day process. If bike is in stock “as advertised”, why the delay? be wary.

When i recieved my bike, i assemble it and rode it the same day. Well by the end of the day the plastic pedals broke! I went and bought new ones but then the next couple of days the crank grooves for the pedals broke!! I bought a new crank, and another set of pedals!
PROS: Looks great; easy to pop a wheelie
CONS: Brakes are BAD! The rims are painted = no grip for brakes.; Pedals are bad; handle bars need alot of getting used to; too expensive for this type of quality.
Just an honest opinion.

Our son loves his new bike. He loves the graphics and the bright color, but especially the trick bars on the wheels. He plans to learn to do some tricks; he’s experimenting already. My husband wishes there were brakes on the bike you utilize with the pedals, but it is understandable with the trick bars that you need hand brakes. The only thing we would change is to have both types of brakes.
