Review 1 for 24" Mongoose XR-75 Girls' Bike

Solid option for the money.

Bought this for my wife who is 5'3"
She likes the look and the size suits her well and feels like a better fit and more manageable than an adult sized bike.
For the money, I don't regret the purchase. You must be able to adjust the brakes and gear shift cables and have some basic tools handy before riding for the first time.
My main issue was that the handle bar was very difficult to secure... despite tightening hex screw to the maximum.. I found a solution by researching online.
As other reviewers mentioned, some adjustments must be made to make sure the brakes work properly... but it is easy to figure out upon reading the manual or watching a youtube video.

Bought this bike for my daughter's birthday. Delivery was quick so I had it in time to put together and make sure everything worked. My kid loves it! The bike needed some brake adjustment and had a couple of slight scratches in the paint from the way it was packed, so I did not give five stars. Overall a very nice bike for the price.

Daughter wasnt riding it and I wondered why. I said why are you not riding you bike she said it was too hard to shift gears. I went out and yes it was hard to shift for me. then the shifter fell apart in my hand. Of course she got the bike for christmas and this is early spring so its past the return date so I have a unusable bike taking up space in my shed.

Take it back to the store for an exchange
Posted 09/29/2012
What I would do is take it back to the store with the broken shifter. It may take a manager's approval but they typically take back anything anytime. I've never had a problem returning anything to Wal - Mart

Review 4 for 24" Mongoose XR-75 Girls' Bike

Brakes were problematic when picked up. I've had several people look at them and they are junk!! I wouldn't recommend this bike to ANYONE! It"s a great looking bike until you're trying to stop and people can hear the squeal all the way down the block?! Who wants that?! My daughter HATES her new bike as a result and I don't blame her! :(

I ordered this bike online because it was not available at my local store. I was very satisfied with the delivery time, it got here faster than I expected. I'm 5' 3" and this bike is the perfect size for me. I think they should not call it a girls bike, because I am not a girl. The only complaint that I have is that the brakes were a little difficult to get adjusted properly. But over all I was very satisfied with my purchase.

My daughter saw this bike at the Plainfield Walmart and wanted it for her upcoming birthday. I didn't get it at the store because I had nowhere to store it until her birthday so I went to Walmart.com and saw that they had it available online and ordered it while my daughter was gone at her dads. It arrived within 3 days which absolutely surprised me! Fast delivery! My sister and I went to put the bike together. It came basically put together except for the front wheel, the seat and the pedals. No problem we thought. While I was looking for the screw packet, my sister pulled out a bolt a screw and the lever to raise and lower the seat. They were the only parts in the box to put the bike together. I called my Plainfield Walmart store and explained the situation. They told me to bring the bike to the store and they would replace it for me. When we got there they didn't have one in stock so they gave the option of exchanging it for a different bike or they would put it together for me. Since it was the bike she wanted, I chose the latter offer. They had it put together by the next day. The manager said the associate that put the bike together was shocked that the components weren't there. Kudos to the Plainfield store CSR desk associate the manager and the associate that put the bike together for me. My daughter came back from her dad's saw the bike and has been riding it ever since. Don't be afraid to order anything online from Walmart. I have done it several times and have been completely satisfied with my purchases or made completely satisfied if I had a problem

i didn't buy this one ! i ordered it online for site to store cause i could not find one i liked at store,, so when i went to pick this up, i saw a 26 inch mens mongoose like this in a different color of course and i got that one instead... and i like it but i had to take it back to walmart and have the ASSEMBLERS IN A NEARBY WAREHOUSE come and get it and fix it cause the left shifter was not working.,... now it is... i had a huffy before this for 6 years and it was fine but could not find one at walmart that i liked... i think the one i orered site to store is built better than the one you find on the racks in the store...are just built with not much interest... anotherwards,, not so great..but i use my bike for just getting around and on buses and the metrorail (train) . ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE SEAT CAN BE STOLEN EASILY WITH THAT CLAMP !! i bought a lock and put it thru the seat when i leave it outside.,,i contacted mongoose and they said they do not have a clamp for the seat that makes the seat unremovable and they said no they don't have that !! my bike is a 26 inch mens mongoose and it; just lke this one..good luck !!

Tiny bike, poor quality components.

This bike could be a cute gift perhaps for a little girl who doesn't ride bikes very often. Everything on this bike is the cheapest possible component. The shifting mechanism is unwieldy and doesn't operate smoothly, the seat is wildly uncomfortable, and the size really is lilliputian. On the up side, it is shiny and pink.

The bike looks great. Had to deflate front tire and pinch it in order to get the tire past the brakes and mounted to the fork. After mounting, spun the wheel and wheel is out of round. Made contact with brake. Adjusted brakes, but somewhat of a PIA. I'm not a bike assembly expert, but shouldn't the wheel be perfectly true out of the box? It shouldn't wobble. May go back because of the wheel wobble.

Great "Little Woman's" Bike!

I have a slight problem with 24" bikes being labeled "girls" bikes because I am 33 and 5'3" so I am no "girl." That being said, this is a great bike for a small woman! The suspension is great, gears shift smoothly, color is very pretty...the only downfall is the seat - it is harder than a rock. I had to spend about $25 on a new, cushy seat. For the price, this is a great bike! I even have a weeride kangaroo seat for the front and it fits the frame just fine. I can pick the bike up to mount it on our bike rack. I would definitely recommend this to a girl or petite woman :)

I am a 5 foot adult and this bike works great for me. My first time riding I fell in love!!! This bike is not too small nor too big but JUST RIGHT. The only suggestion I have is buying a gel seat cover because the origanal seat has no cushion and is very uncomfortable.

perfect except the seat is hard. I recommend buying a memory foam or gel seat cover to go with it.

I purchased this bike for my granddaughter who is 12 years old. She lives in another state so I have not seen the bike in person just on line and the photos the kids sent. My granddaughter was thrilled as this is what she wanted for x-mas this year. Purchasing on line was very easy and they were able to pick it up at the store with no problem and the bike was all put together for her. She was so happy my daughter said she rode it right out the door. My granddaughter is an average height and weight for a 12 year old so the bike was a good fit for her. She is a bit rough on things and already had a flat tire within the first two weeks of riding, kids will be kids. I am sure this bike will get her through a few years and I would recommend for the price.

My husband and I order the bike online for 1 of my daughter's Christmas gifts. The bike was a little bigger than i thought but seeing as it is winter and children grow like weeds I think it will be a perfect size for the summer. My girl loves the way it looks and we love the price and convenience of it being delievered to our house and it maybe took my son 5-10 min to put it together. All in all I would highly recommend this product.
