Already read al the reviews of how Mongoose no longer means the quality it used to. Had low expectations going in.

During the unboxing the frame is wrapped in heavy paper, I used scissors without a sharp point to remove this covering. While fitting the scissors under the paper to cut it, it literally scrapped right through the paint. It left horrible marks on the frame, it was like the paint isn't even an enamel. very soft, EASY to scratch.

The assembly instructions are overly detailed and generic to several models, if you have any bike mechanic experience, throw the instructions in the trash and it put it together.

During assembly and bolting the rear wheel on, as I was tightening the nuts to approximately 15-20LBs torque, it striped through the axel threads unbelievable I have never seen such poor quality steel that an axel nut can strip the bolt threads. I had to put on a second nut which fits as the axels are long enough for buddy bars but none are included.

The seat and seat post are one a cheap piece part so the angle cannot be adjusted, the seat is not comfortable and my son complained about discomfort which adjusting the angle would help with. Try to picture why it might not be comfortable.

Yes at this point I am nit picking, but really honestly disappointed. Purchased a Shawn White bike earlier in the year and thought it was cheap, this was much worse.

Basically you have to spend some real money on a bicycle to get any quality. I do not know if that quality exists on Amazon, but I will be checking a bike shop before ordering online again.
