Originally known as BMX (Bicycle Motorcross) Products, Inc. Mongoose Bicycles took off in 1974 in Simi Valley, California by motor sport enthusiast and entrepreneur Skip Hess. The cast magnesium Motomag wheel was the first product designed by Skip when he saw the need for a strong, light wheel for BMX racing. The forever-famous Mongoose bicycle was introduced in 1975 and set the high standard for the industry. Throughout the 1980s Mongoose continued to grow and thrive. The company promoted its line with a strong BMX racing team, which quickly began to dominate all classes of the sport.
