We bought this bike for our 11 year old son, even though the box states from 6-11 years old. I think it would be a bit large for a 6 year old. This bike seems to be more appropriate for 9-15 year olds. The bike has a great graphic design on the middle section. It can hold 200 pounds. I think this is a great buy for a preteen and teenagers. It also had the extra bars for the ride-ons.

I got this bike and in under a month the pedals were breaking. In a month they broken so bad it was unridible. I bought new pedals and they didnt fit. Those pedals were the same size as every pair of high quality pedals. So if you want some good pedals you need new cranks that fit which usualy cost up to $50. I prefer not getting this bike if you dont want to pay an extra 50+ dollars in repair.

The bike say for a 6 to 11 year old. My son is almost 14 and he loves it. Not a bad price for this bike.

It's a nice sturdy bike and fairly easy to assemble. My son likes it a lot. The only shortfall we noticed was that it doesn't come with a kick stand. Otherwise, it's great.

I got this bike for my kid a x-mass. He said it's the best bike on the
block. His friends say it looks like the toughest and lite.
I like it becouse it does look strounge and lite.

I'm 40yrs old and bought this bike for my 8yr old. Growing up, I remember being in love with Mongoose bikes. Unfortunately, the Mongoose bikes of today are nothing like they used to be.

The bike came with missing parts ( misc bolts, screw to fasten the seat); the owner manual is NOT specific to the bike model; calls to customer service were answered by a call center person who is NOT at all familair with the bike.

I guess this is the trade-off we must pay for having stuff manufactured cheaply overseas (China).

My 11 year old grandson loves his new bike. Shipping was excellant and arrived undamaged. He said he can do new tricks on it. Now this boy is an ice hockey player so he isn't going to be gentle so I would say this is a rugged bike.

My son (11 years old) LOVES this bike. I like the style but the manual sucks! It is not written in a manner that makes it clear which model it is referring to when detailing the various setups. I had a hard time figuring out the correct configuration for increasing the tension for the rear brakes..... my son eventually wrapped the line and used one of my hair bands to hold it to the handlebars to decrease the slack allowing enough tension for the rear brake to pull! I refuse to take this bike to the shop to pay upward of $100 for a $120 bike!

Great Bike, for the most part easy to assemble. Gave for Christmas, he rides it everyday. Bikes are getting stolen, suggest lock and chain/wire harness to protect bike.

I purchased this bike, as a Christmas gift for my nephew. I was assembling it and realized no matter how tight I made the four allen nuts that hold the handlebar it would still move up towards the front wheel or back towards the seat. I may have to wrap the bar in friction tape to solve this problem.
