Well, the Walmart version is about 199.00 and the actual mongoose one runs about 223.00 in the specs the main difference I see is the Walmart version max weight being 250 and the real version being 300. But after reading a quite the haul of reviews and asking questions there as well people who are similar to my size say it works well with upgraded seat and handlebars. Was just curious if anyone here had any personal experience with this type of bike.. if it support me for a while I feel like 223 isn’t a bad investment to get started.
