Not bad my 15 year old said brake part is getto but he still rides. Broke the brake lever after 6 months

Let me be up front, I paid $179 for this bike. It is the gray L60. I just looked again and the bike is now listed for almost $350. I'm not sure I would pay that for this bike. Not because it's not worth that, but because I would probably buy a higher end brand for the same price. But, that's just me.
I bought this for my son on his 9th birthday. He is very tall for his age at a little over 5 feet. According to the specs, he would be on the bottom end of the height range for this bike and it fits him perfectly. I am 6' 2", 250 pounds and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this bike for myself based on the dimensions. The handlebars are a really nice height for me to ride.
I could not find out what the exact material the frame is, but it is very light. I was hoping to get him a Chromoly frame, and I would say that this would fit in that weight range. Everything is very stout and tight. I would not personally hesitate to take this bike to the park and jump it"¦ Which I did. The crank did not flex at all, and I really love how fat the tires are. All around, I am impressed with the bike. The paint job had a nice detail in it near the welds to mimic a heat blemish, which is a throwback to the old days, when chrome bikes were welded and the heat would blemish the chrome and turn it a rainbow color.
The only Cons that I really found with the bike was under the fork where the neck stem passes through the fork and is welded in place, there was a really bad cut and weld. There are also a hint of rust on a few parts of the bike. I'm assuming from being shipped overseas from China. The metal Mongoose decal for the front of the head stem was a stick on thing. It may be that kids these days want a clean look and they did that as an option.
Other than those things, I can't find anything else mechanically or geometrically wrong with the bike. To be clear, this is not a Walmart licensed product. This is a mongoose bike produced by mongoose or the company that owns mongoose.
p.s. it wouldn't be a bad idea to make sure that the neck, crank and wheel hubs are all at the correct tightness. They feel a little tight out of the box. This is super easy to do yourself, but if you're unsure, just take it to a bike shop.

Our grandson loves it and thinks it look and ride like "A Bentley" 🤣

Almost didn't buy for my 11 yr. old grandson because of comments and reviews. The price was $206 and it took an 11 yr old 30 minutes to put together. He is a tall boy about 5'2 and it is fine for his height. The seat is also fine and comfortable he says. Brake line was already connected. Not sure what people expect for price. Super bike for kids. Only had short time so can't comment on how it will hold up. Also seat adjusts up and does not slant like I read in reviews. Worth the money.

The media could not be loaded. My son likes it. Welds look good. All components except brakes are good quality. The brakes are the only issue. No matter what adjustments I made (and believe me, I made them all), they were basically useless. But, I purchased a new inexpensive set of brake pads that had good reviews on Amazon. And I also switched the brakes to the standard cable option, instead of the bmx brake mechanism that allows the handlebars to rotate 360 degrees. I used a brake system I had lying around to accomplish this. With these two cheap DIY upgrades, the bike now stops on a dime, leaving 9 cents of change. I would recommend this bike to anyone needing a bike for their kids. Changing the brake system with your child is a great intro into bike ownership and maintenance!
