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.

The bike was delivered in a box that was almost destroyed with big holes in it and tape barely holding it together. The bike itself was delivered with dirty handlebars, dents in the frame and missing parts for the hand brake. The back wheel was factory tightened out of alignment with the chain binding up when you crank the pedals. Part of the chainguard was rusted and appears to have been painted over to hide it. I have an above average skill level in mechanical items such as bikes, and if not for that, I would have not been able to give this bike to my daughter for Christmas morning. If you know how to disassemble and reassemble a bike and have extra parts in the garage or shed, you can have a ridable bike in about an hour. If you cannot, stay away from this product, as you will be extremely frustrated and probably end up returning it. The instructions are general instruction for other bikes and not specific to this bike either, so if you need instructions, you should not attempt to assemble this bike.

The bike’s quality is fabulous. My daughter is 5 and the bike is a little heavy for her right now but it is a great bike to grow into.
I was very disappointed with the shipment. Packaging was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, the item was poorly wrapped inside. The package was all torn up by the time the it arrived and the bike has several scratches due to that reason. Normally, we would return the item in that kind of condition, but because our daughter was so excited about her new bike that we did not want to disappoint her.
So, unless you can make sure that the bike will arrive in the condition that YOU WOULD LIKE. Go to the local store.

We just received this yesterday and the box it was delivered in was completely torn up; re-taped several times. I checked the contents to make sure we received everything and it was missing the bag attachment. I am very disappointed with this order so far. It was shipped directly from Amazon so they should have known better than to send it out the door. This is supposed to be a Christmas present for one of my children and I indicated on the order that it was a gift. The delivery company simply “dumped” this on my porch with the damaged box showing the complete picture of the item ordered along with a bicycle handlebar sticking out. I have not put this bike together yet but plan to this week so I have time to return it if it is damaged. I should have heeded the warning from another review that said the same thing I am saying. I would not recommend purchasing this item through Amazon since you can get it through a local reseller and don’t have to deal with the return process with Amazon shipping.

We purchased this bike for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. It is an adorable bike. My husband assembeled it in well under a half an hour. The only thing I don’t like about it is the hand brake. I wish it didn’t have one.

This is a great quality bike for the price and has taken some heavy abuse from our 4 year old daughter. I love that the handle bar height and angle, seat height and training wheels can all be adjusted for a perfect fit today and in the coming years. We especially love the color combination since it can be so hard to buy anything for little girls that is not pink!
We purchased this item from Amazon and not an authorized seller and selected super saver shipping. It arrived in 3 days from FedEx, but there was some damage to the box. No major injuries to the bike, but some of the stickers were heavily scratched.
Overall, we are very happy with this purchase. It is a good quality bike that will last for years.
