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.

Fits my just turned 5 year old just fine Bike came in a few different pieces – not too bad on the assembly front. Anyone who has tinkered with a bike before should be able to put it together just fine with some simple tools – box end wrench/adjustable wrench. I didn’t even need the instructions (they kind of stunk anyway) This bike fit my 5 year old boy just fine. He is of average height and just turned 5 – it was for his birthday. He loved it by the way. You’ll probably need a pump to pump the tires. They were nearly flat when…
Poor Instructions and Missing Parts As other reviewers have pointed out, the assembly instructions are non-existent. In our situation, the bike was actually missing the seat and the part(s) required to attach the handlebar to the stem. Also, the bike was scuffed up. Discovering this on Christmas Eve was no fun. I would suggest that you purchase a different bike and save yourself a lot of trouble. We will be returning ours.
