Absolute Lack of Quality Control (aka Complete Junk, Waste of Money, etc)

Bought two of these for birthday presents and now I am extremely disappointed in Mongoose brand. This model scooter has the lowest quality bearings I have ever seen on a Chinese manufactured scooter or bicycle. On both units, the wheels barely spun out of the box due to overtighten bolts from the factory. I promptly disassembled the wheel bearings to inspect and lubricate. Upon doing so, I noticed the bearing races were poorly stamped and were not square to the hub and the threaded axles were not flat causing the bearings to bind. On one unit, the spokes on the rims were poorly installed at the factory and do not seat properly in the hub. On both units, the brakes are ok but require significant adjustments to keep them from rubbing when not activated. If this were not a time sensitive gift I would have returned both immediately. Do Not Buy!!!
