In 1985, Mongoose rocked cul-de-sacs, sidewalks, and skateparks across America with the creation of the Miniscoot – the first scooter with pneumatic tires, hand brakes, and BMX handlebars. Next Tuesday (3/22), Mongoose will resurrect the original icon with the launch of the Miniscoot II.
The Miniscoot II features a chromoly frame, 12" x 2.25" air-filled gumwall tires, Pro Class handlebars, and the classic colors and graphics of its 1987 predecessor that became a legend. The Miniscoot II is the newest addition to the Mongoose Classics line, which was brought to life in 2021 with two '80s BMX throwback models, the Supergoose and California Special.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
