Welcome to the 2007 Mongoose® magalog. Yes, we have come out with a magalog to help introduce so much of the unique, crazy, and cool things that Mongoose® continues to do to this day. It seems that throughout the history of Mongoose®, all 30 plus years, people have been telling us what we can’t do. And every year we take those comments and turn them on their ear. Two years ago we introduced an all-mountain full suspension platform in the Black Diamonds that felt and rode just as good up the hill as down. We took a 26" mountain bike, blended it with a BMX bike, and designed the most original and utilitarian park bike ever in the Ritual. And now we have introduced a coffee commuter bike, the Sabrosa, that would be just as happy at a mountain bike race as it would be on the bike path to work in the morning.

But you can learn more about the Sabrosa, Eric Carter and more in this magalog. Like any magazine that responds to its readers, we have worked to answer the desires of our Mongoose® riders with a women’s specific Teocali frame or integrating our FreeDrive suspension into a 24 hour race-ready cross country rig, called the Canaan. Sit down, enjoy yourself, and find out more about Mongoose® by turning the page. We have 30 years of history to back us up – but we aren’t afraid to take on our critics to keep pushing the bar forward in the future.

EC-X, EC-D specifications

The Mongoose EC-D and EC-X electric bicycles are designed to cater to both urban commuters and recreational cyclists, combining performance, style, and advanced technology. These models are part of Mongoose's commitment to providing high-quality, dependable ebikes that enhance the riding experience.

The Mongoose EC-D is a versatile electric bike that focuses on delivering a comfortable ride for daily use. Its frame is constructed from durable aluminum, making it lightweight but sturdy enough to handle various terrains. The bike is equipped with a 250W brushless motor that provides a smooth and reliable boost to help riders conquer inclines and long distances effortlessly. The EC-D features a removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 36V, offering a range of up to 50 miles on a single charge, depending on terrain and rider input.

One of the standout characteristics of the EC-D is its integrated LCD display, which provides crucial information such as speed, distance traveled, battery level, and assistance mode. Commuters will appreciate the bike's adjustable seat and ergonomic handlebars, ensuring optimum comfort during longer rides. The inclusion of hydraulic disc brakes guarantees responsive and reliable stopping power, even in wet conditions, making this bike a safe choice for urban environments.

On the other hand, the Mongoose EC-X targets more adventurous riders. It builds on the EC-D's foundation but incorporates features suited for off-road cycling. The EC-X is equipped with a more powerful 500W motor, allowing it to tackle steep trails and rough terrains with ease. Featuring a robust suspension system, it absorbs shocks effectively, providing a smooth ride on bumpy paths.

The EC-X also comes with larger, knobby tires designed for enhanced grip and stability. Riders can engage in longer adventures without worrying about battery life, thanks to its larger 48V lithium-ion battery, which enhances the bike’s range to approximately 65 miles. Its dual braking system adds an extra layer of safety, particularly in rugged conditions where quick stops are necessary.

Both the EC-D and EC-X incorporate smart technology such as Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to sync their bikes with mobile applications for tracking performance metrics. Mongoose has ensured that both models cater to a wide variety of riders, with features like customizable pedal assist levels and a user-friendly interface, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the world of electric biking. Whether commuting or exploring trails, the Mongoose EC-D and EC-X provide reliable and enjoyable riding experiences.
