I think they'll do fine for gravel roads and sidewalks and stuff... Assembly is almost always a joke, so you're better off going over the assembly with a fine-toothed comb and making sure everything's tight. Just don't expect to do any technical singletrack or big jumps with one.

look... in my opinion if you´re going to do that kind of biking you can be fine witha sidewinder from *mart or maybe a schwinn comp that´s made from 6061 alu...(one of my partner´s choice) but please do not look for the mgx or efx from mongoose... they are heavy and they do not work as well as the others... i got my bike at a spinning gym/bike store and it was a good choice for 150 bucks....

I can't even fix your sentence it is so messed up. We can understand people from across the ocean mispelling and misplacing words due to english being a second language, however, people who know english who butcher the language, that even drives me batty.

Dude, my CCM revenge isn't that bad. I'm going to lube up seatpost and eventually get an altus rear derailler and some decent shifters but really, it's not bad. 3-4 foot drops. Nice commute/light trail tires. Only problem is that it weighs quite a bit.
