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. |  |

|  | I can't comment on the quality because I can't put it together. The single sheet instruction is laughable. My guess is the people having problems with this is due to bad assembly caused by the poor instructions. Customer service was very helpful though. give them a call.

|  | Unlike many of the other buyers, I am very satisfied with the unicycle's quality--all parts came intact and unmutilated. My only dilemma was with some of the bolts--I did not know a certain 15mm wrench was necessary to assembly the unicycle, so just keep that in mind when purchasing. Other than that, it is INCREDIBLE. It looks amazing and feels extremely sturdy (especially due to the wide 3-inch wheel.) Once you finally get to ride it, you won't be dissatisfied. (...and yes, that's what she said. :P)

|  | I just wanted to add to the reviews here. Every review about the instructions is true. The instructions assume more of the unicycle is put together that what really is, so you have to look at the box to figure out how to get it together, but it's not impossible. I didn't get two left pedals or anything like that.
I wanted a cheap unicycle to start learning on and this seemed to be a good start. We have wrecked this alot. Some of the pieces that look metal are plastic around the seat and the round pedal covers.
Is this the Unicycle that you'll end up with? Probably not. It's a great cycle to start with. It's held up to the abuse I've given it and my son. If you can use basic deductive skills to get it together and want something cheap to start, this is the way to go. It's exactly what I was looking for.
I'll probably move to a bigger tire and let my son keep this for awhile.
God bless, Dave Ashworth

|  | I purchased this unicycle for my grandson. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed that the box looked like it had been shipped from a battle zone in Bagdad. I originally intended to give the unit still in the box, but it was so damaged that I opened it immediately to check the contents for damage. Fortunately the contents were undamaged. However, the instructions only provided a picture of the unicycle with the wheel, fork, and cranks assembled. The only assembly indicated was to attach the seat and pedals. Actually I found a box full of parts and a bag of nuts and bolts with no instructions. After a careful review of the picture and relying on my experience with assembling similar equipment, I managed to complete the assembly. The use of some parts required some educated guesses. I think Mongoose needs to provide better packaging and adequate assembly instructions. Also, although the tube and tire were installed on the wheel, the tube was only slightly inflated and the valve stem was protruding from the rim at an angle. It was very difficult to straighten the valve stem and inflate the tube properly.
