Customer Reviews

Happy Mongoose Customer
Service at Amazon was excellent! Many of the problems that were described in previous posts made sense to me becasue I had the same issue.However, it was not until I read the instruction manual and realized that I improperly assembled the fork( shock) backwards on the bike which led to poor braking and the wheel ultra close to my legs. Since the adjustment no problems. Shifts great, brakes well. Brought it into a shop for final once over. May help for others.

Cheers

Terrible Bike!!!
I purchased this bike for my wife from fogdog through amazon. I must say the service was excellent.

I did have to return the bike because it is very poorly designed. The bike's frame was so short that the pedals would hit the front tire and you could get hurt riding it. In addition to the terrible design, it took me an entire day to get the brakes and wheels adjusted properly. The wheels were way out of true and the brakes would not align properly at all. I finally got it to an acceptable point with the wheels and brakes when we realized the pedals hit the tire.

The bike seems to have the mongoose name, while the manual said Pacific. That leads me to believe it's not a true mongoose. The mongoose name and the other review led me to believe it was ok to purchase.

In closing, service was great and the bike was horrible.

Good Product for the Price
Was looking for an inexpensive bike to do some cardio and get in shape, so I selected the Mongoose Montana. I haven't rode a bike in about 10 years so I figured that this would be a great starter bike. The bike came fairly quick and after having it adjusted at the bike shop, I was riding in no time. I take the bike out almost every other morning and haven't had a problem yet. I even ride off trail in a neighborhood park and find the ride to be great. The breaks tend to be a little tight but that's an assembly issue. Overall, this is a great bike for the price.
