MADISON, Wis., Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mongoose, a brand
of Dorel Industries, Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A), will roll out a
brand-new line of folding and freestyle model scooters in Target
stores and on Target.com beginning August
21. The BMX and mountain bike brand is expanding their sport
and outdoor lifestyle offerings with their line of five folding
scooters and three freestyle scooters. The scooters will range in
price from $29.99 to $89.99.
"There's a natural crossover between trick bikes – which is what
we've been known for since 1974 – and scooters," said Milissa Rick, senior director of marketing for
Mongoose. "It's a perfect combination of getting outside and having
fun while expressing your creativity. We listened to what customers
wanted to see in a scooter and our line is a direct result of that
feedback."
Mongoose scooters will be available in two lines: Force folding
scooters and Stance Freestyle scooters.
The Mongoose Force folding line is ideal for recreational use
and short commutes as they fold easily for travel. All five
scooters include Max Grip tape on
both the brake and deck. The Force 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 feature kick
stands and bike-style grips, while the Force 1.0 and Force 1.0,
with lighted wheels, have soft foam grips. The Force scooters
are appropriate for kids ages five and up.
The Mongoose Stance line features a heavier duty design, ideal
for a day at the skate park. The Stance Pro and Stance Elite
feature an anodized clamp collar for the ultimate control and
precise steering and front and rear alloy pegs. The Stance
scooters are appropriate for kids ages eight and up.
