Keep in mind that the bike suggests that it be fit for riders from 5’4″ to 6’2″ high. After completing assembly, you should double-check and adjust for fit before pedaling. Beginners can have some issues in putting together, but just follow instructions or find assistance for sure. For the price I paid for the Teocali nothing else comes close.

Putting them against other huffy beach cruiser products in the same industry has led me to believe that these two bike brands are worthy contenders. Mongoose kids bikes are perfect for young riders learning to ride, as well as for more advanced riders.
You, however, only get five years on aluminum frames and Mongoose dual-suspension frames. Schwinn has been around for well over a century while Mongoose is certainly newer on the scene. However, both brands have built up solid reputations in the biking community during their time on the market, even if Mongoose is less of a household name across the global bike community.
