1998 Mongoose Menace BMX Catalogue

Yes, you can have everything. We've crammed it all into the Motivator FW (Free Wheel). All new frame, fork and stem designs and linear pull brakes. You'll just have to find something other than your bike to complain about. The Motivator CB (Coaster Brake) is well suited for the 5-8 year old as a training BMX bike complete with alloy rims and linear pull rear brakes and dependable coaster brake. The Motivator Mini is a full-featured model just like the Motivator CB but downsized for the growing 4-7 year old.
