Resurrecting the early scooter concept and improving through the inclusion of BMX style design and technology, the ‘Mini Scoot’ was an overnight success and alleged to have sold in the hundreds and thousands of units. Hitting the market in 1986, the rumour around the scooter is that a Mongoose employee overproduced ‘Moose Goose’ head tubes and thereby sparked the idea for a scooter which takes advantage of a higher headtube. For core BMX heads, the incorporation of a scooter under the Mongoose umbrella was tough to swallow, it being a much more accessible and cheaper product which wasn’t consistent with the essence of BMX, the spirit of the sport.
This is the first time that the Mongoose brand has partnered with LUXBMX, a momentous occasion and one driven by our desire to support a brand that has literally been there from the start, a truly original company. These bikes will act as a well-rounded addition to the LUX selection, providing a range of sizes (16 to 20 inch) in the ‘Legion’ model, a 29 schwinn mountain bicycles inch option (in varying colours) for the ‘Hooligan’ as well as 20 inch options for the old-school classics. We think that this offers our customers the chance to celebrate and embrace the nostalgia of Mongoose, while moving forward in the modern BMX world with taste, style and strength. Race bikes are optimized for competition, with stiff frames and precise sizing. Middle-aged riders looking to recapture some of their youth without cracking their kneecaps will be interested in a flock of new “retro” bikes that repeat the styles of the ’80s and ’90s forebears with more rider room and more durable materials. Last but certainly not least, “BikeLife” is a whole new approach to BMX born from avant-garde street riders in Harlem, Philadelphia, Oakland, and elsewhere.
From the original Motomag wheel BMX Products Inc created the Mongoose bicycle and parts brand which becomes a global success during the BMX boom of the 70s and 80s. Mongoose also produced Freestyle bikes, Mountain bikes, Scooters, Kids bikes and an enviable roster of talented team riders over the decades to follow. Today they continue to offer a large range of products and support top tier BMX and mountain bike riders. Only sold in USA, Australia, Germany, Japan & New ZealandInspired by the 1984 Supergoose BMX bike, this iconic ride is perfect for the classic Mongoose connoisseur.
All Mongoose complete set ups are approved by the pros. Use our size, price and colour filters to help you find the right style for you. Mongoose started in a garage in 1974 with the Motomag wheel – an innovation that brought BMX to a global audience. Almost 50 years later, we’re still the legit brand dedicated to fueling the wild side of riders everywhere to push their limits on two wheels, have a blast and get dirty doing it. The Mongoose Legion 16 is a solid BMX schwinn mountain bicycles bike for kids 3-feet-6-inches and under who need a 16-incher that can take a beating. The Legion 16 is simple to assemble and features gyro brakes for easy handlebar spins, loose-ball bottom brackets, and comfy grips.
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.
