Review: The best bike I've had - I've been riding my Mongoose Malus Fat Tire Mountain Bike since September 2021, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my outdoor adventures! 🚵‍♂️ Durability and Build Quality: The bike's robust frame and high-quality components have withstood all kinds of terrain, from rocky trails to sandy beaches. It feels incredibly sturdy and reliable, giving me confidence on every ride. Fat Tires: The fat tires are a standout feature. They provide excellent traction and stability, making it easy to tackle challenging surfaces like snow, mud, and loose gravel. Plus, the ride is surprisingly smooth, even on rough paths. Comfort: The ergonomic design and comfortable saddle make long rides enjoyable. I appreciate the thoughtful design that minimizes fatigue, allowing me to ride longer without discomfort. Performance: The bike's performance has been consistently impressive. The gears shift smoothly, and the brakes are responsive and reliable. Whether I'm climbing steep hills or cruising on flat trails, the Mongoose Malus handles it all with ease. Aesthetics: On top of its performance, the bike looks fantastic. The sleek design and bold colors always turn heads and earn compliments from fellow riders. Overall, the Mongoose Malus Fat Tire Mountain Bike has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Review: Fat Tire bike for less than $250? "add to cart..." - Simply put, this is a fantastic fat tire bike for the incredible price of less than $250. I've already put in over 60 miles in the last couple of weeks, and it's just a joy to ride. I was pleasantly surprised at the power/torque this bike has when tackling hills. I was a bit worried about how it would handle steep inclines given its weight, but man... the first steep elevated trail bridge I climbed, I easily outpaced others who were riding multi-geared road bikes. This puppy can also easily take off from a standstill with little effort. I was originally looking for a bike with a smooth ride for suburban/trail biking, and this has proven to be exactly what I wanted. This is by far the least expensive bike I've ever purchased, but it's also the MOST FUN I've ever ridden! I'm sure the $2,000 - $6,000 fat tire bikes would smoke this in a heartbeat, but seriously... for under $250, this thing over-delivers! Rides really well on paved and gravel paths. Plus, it's always a hoot to hear the various comments from others who've never seen a fat tire bike before! Is it perfect? No. The one thing I would recommend that everyone upgrades immediately is the seat. I know that bike seat comfort is highly personal and subjective, but I found the factory seat to just be rock hard and uncomfortable for any ride over a few miles. So for another small investment of $45 for a quality seat, I'm sitting comfortably at 20+ mile rides with no complaints. Pros: - Low cost but solid quality - FUN to ride. There's nothing like fat tire biking. - Nice power/torque. Easy hill climbing and quick take offs. - Fairly easy to assemble. Cons: - Factory seat is a bit hard. Recommend replacing ASAP. - Mine was missing a nut for the front tire assembly... minor inconvenience though. Summary: - Looking for an intro to fat tire biking? BUY THIS. You won't regret it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Solid Entry-Level Fat Tire Bike For The Average Joe
*by A***R on May 10, 2018*

This bike really surpassed my expectations. I based my purchase off of other reviews found here on Amazon and thought, well this bike should be OK and expected there to be things that I would simply have to deal with since it was an entry-level priced Fat Tire Bike. However, it worked perfectly right out of the box. Now I did do some minor customizations to suit my preferences, but they honestly weren't needed. Those changes were that I replaced the stock seat with a larger more comfortable one. The stock one is of pretty high quality. It's just a bit small and hard like all of the other stock bike seats out there. I swapped out the straight mountain bike style handlebars for custom cruiser handlebars to allow for a more erect sitting position. In changing out the handlebars I found that unless you have immense patience and perseverance then it's easier to simply replace the stock handgrips with new ones. I chose comfort grip handgrips that help alleviate hand fatigue or carpal tunnel syndrome. They worked perfectly. One thing to note here is that I didn't need to change out the shifter lines or brake lines at all like others said when they modified their bikes. I found that simply rerouting the cables slightly left ample line length on them to reach the new handlebars. Before you ride I suggest using some Light Spray Oil On the chain and other moving surfaces. Except for the brakes of course. I also suggest pumping up the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall if you happen to be riding on paved roads or happen to be a person like me who weighs over 200 pounds because the tires do have a lot of flex at lower pressures and will bottom out on the rim at lower pressures with riders weighing above 200 pounds. The gears do shift really smoothly. However, I will admit that having only 7 speeds is taking some getting used to, but for the average person who goes off road only occasionally, seven speeds are enough. It also does not feel like it's a heavy bike at all. It's obviously a bit heavier than my Schwinn aluminum frame mountain bike, but that is a serious off-road mountain bike. I bought the Mongoose Malus for cruising parks, boardwalks, and my neighborhood. That is where this bike seems to shine because it is really comfortable and an uncomplicated ride. If you're looking to get onto a Fat Tire bike to see if you like it but don't want to break the bank then I can comfortably say that the Mongoose Men's Malus Cruiser Bike is a fine way to do that. If you're a professional bike rider looking for some fat tire powerhouse bike to storm through incredible terrain then you certainly won't be interested in this bike, but then again hardcore bikers looking for specific name brand bikes probably aren't shopping for their bikes on Amazon anyway. Take this review for what it is. One person's opinion of a bike that they like for what it is... A solid entry-level Fat Tire Bike for the Average Joe. Peace.
