A few posts up there is a link to the new Mongoose bikes that are supposed to be as good as anyone else’s and are not walgoose editions. I did some digging on another site and found that by 1983 Mongoose frames were being built in Taiwan. I feel that bad now with mine being made there too. Raceit, I wanted but did mongoose bmx not have a Mongoose in my teenage years. I guess that is why I still WANT that 1980 Supergoose I never had. I am a bit closer by now having my ’96 Mongoose expert pro.
The L100 uses a complete 4130 Chromoly frame (not just the front half like the legion L100). The Legion L40 uses a 20.5-inch top tube, ideal for riders around 5’6”. RECO (Racer Engineering Company) was a wholly owned manufacturing division created for insurance purposes to be separate from BMX Products, Inc, even though RECO was always produced in-house.
Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. Mongoose now has a number of decades to the history of the brand, with BMX now moving towards the 21st century and entering a new era, literally and figuratively. It is perhaps at this point that the story skips forward, with there being way too many moments and characters to emphasise. It is perhaps overdue at this point to mention that the name Mongoose was the result of Skip, and interestingly, was taken from 5 x national drag racing champion Tom ‘The Mongoose’ McEwen. Pretty awesome to think that the very early roots of BMX have drag racing ties, as well as a more obvious association with motocross and skating (which was also taking off at the time, and also in southern California).
Most riders will want a “dirt” or “park” bike, but children under twelve who have racing in mind should choose a ride specific to that task, lest they find themselves a long way behind the rest of even novice-level competition. Whether it be freestyle or race every single one of our staff is a die-hard BMXer so you know that you’re always getting the best advice. After a profoundly successful, yet abrupt time at Mongoose, it was Magoo’s sense of humour which spelled his demise. Funnily enough, after making the decision to use a black transvestite on the cover of the 1990 Mongoose BMX catalogue, the executive took a different view and forced Magoo out of the company. From CW racing, the excessively talkative Magoo made the move to GT, starting off in administration and ending up in advertising and team management capabilities. Eventually managing to muscle his way into the product development realm of the business, Magoo had found his calling and wanted to refine and progress these skills.
They’re also significantly easier on your body, particularly when ridden more than occasionally. The SWFT BMX is an e-bike disguised as what the pros use, with a durable low steel frame, an LCD control display, 350W motor with a top speed of 20 mph, and standard 20-inch wheels you’d typically find at the skatepark. You can easily take curbs but don’t expect to do many drinks in this—40 lbs. Is annoying heavy for bunny hops, plus the internal wiring prevents barspins.
Choose the perfect ride for you from our wide range of electric bikes and discover leading brands renowned for their quality, performance, and innovation, ensuring you find the perfect ride to match your lifestyle. Those larger wheels, however, can be downright intimidating for smaller or younger riders. The 26-inch Flyer is the way to go if you want to jump into the Bike Life culture without feeling like you’re mounting a steed of a 29-inch. Plus, it looks fantastic with its retro style based on BMX culture of decades past. Sunday’s Primer can take you all the way to serious skatepark riding; riders between five to six feet tall will likely find exactly what they need with this bike. It features an Odyssey Springfield brake system, Path Pro tires, and a super durable hi ten steel frame for eating those inevitable spills.
