Review: Great bike at a great price! - **Update from last review** We went head and ordered a 2nd exact same bike for our other son. This time we got a desertcart return (One at a discount). The bike had a few minor imperfections, slightly bent front wheel (2min fix w/ a spoke tool) and a bent right side crank bearing (Pretty simple and painless fix if you know how to repair it). Also did a rear tire coaster brake conversion to a freewheel since my son wanted a bike that could back pedal. Am I happy with both bikes, YES. Are my sons happy, YES. If I had to buy them both over again, YES I would buy them. ***First post*** Read lots of reviews and to be honest. Allot of folks should just buy a preassembled bike if they can’t read directions. Very strait forward and easy to put together. Make sure you have all the tools needed before starting on this, plan on it taking 20-40mins depending on your mechanical skill level. Does Not come with a kick stand! No problem, we pulled the adjustable one off my sons old bike that we got on desertcart for $5. I will be buying another one of these again for my other son when his B-Day comes around. If he behaves 😉 Absolutely yes a good buy! Review: Fantastic bike for a kid! - This is an all around great bike for my son. It looks “cool” and has all of the functions needed for a novice rider. I like how it has pedal breaks as well as handle breaks so the user can use the pedal breaks as a back up as they learn to use those on the handle. The wheels are wide enough to make for an easy ride. The only thing I’ll say negatively about the bike is that it’s tough to put together. The handle bar breaks were especially difficult to figure out. I had to call a friend over to help me and don’t think I could have figured it out without him. ## Features - KIDS BMX BIKE: Endless fun awaits with the Switch or Stun by Mongoose.

But, there were issues ... first, the box was damaged which only affected the cosmetics of the bike. But, once you open it up, it is hard to consider returning. Anyway, we decided to proceed ... the bike seemed simple to assemble except 2 key parts were missing - a bolt for to secure the seat and an inner element to secure the handle bars. The customer service process was exceptional, the service tech answered the phone and was responsive. The only problem is this was Friday afternoon and my grandson wanted to ride the bike. So we took it to a local Recyclery Bike Store in Charlotte and they were wonderful and providing the missing parts. We love the bike, but the quality control for making sure the right pieces were included is a 0 or 10 rating. Funny, we had 2 additional pieces included which we have no idea what they are for, so I'm sure some other customer is looking for parts.
