About Mongoose
Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an innovator. From the company's initial cast-magnesium MotoMag wheels to its current crop of BMX, mountain, and pavement bikes, the Mongoose name has been synonymous with bicycle performance. Mongoose builds specifically for riders, which is why the company's BMX designers aren't wasting time watching reruns on ESPN2. Instead, they're constantly testing their new designs at the park, on the track, and on the hill. This continuous experimentation is what drives Mongoose to cook up things like the Front Porch head tube, which lets you fine-tune the handling on Black Diamond series mountain bikes, or Freedrive suspension technology, which eliminates pedal bob and provides a super-efficient full suspension. Mongoose bikes don't just push the limits; they set new ones.

I purchased this bike and could not assemble it because the forks that hold the front wheel in place were improperly welded. They were visibly off-center. I agree with other comments that the box arrived in terrible condition, but the reason this is important is that I could clearly see that the box had been opened and re-taped. The brass staples were there but were not attached. This leads me to believe that these bikes are being returned, re-packed and shipped back out for a variety of reasons. The bike looks nice, but quality concerns cause me to absolutely not recommend it.

We just received this bike today (delivered by fed ex)... the box was definiely beat up, but the bike was in perfect condition!! We are really happy with it! My son is going to love it for christmas!! He is 4 & 1/2 and about 45" tall, so he is kinda between sizes for bikes -20" is too big and 16" is too small- this is the perfect size for him!! We looked all over for an 18 inch bike and none of them were as cool as this one! I would recommend this bike to anyone with a kid who is in between the most common sizes, but if you don't really need an 18" bike I would just go to target or walmart and save some money just because this one is a little pricy. Hope this helps!!
