* brakes are not quite enough for enthusiastic riding
* chain drops since no derailleur clutch or retention system
* 35 lbs is pretty heavy for a hardtail
* the one size available is huge
* front shock is very heavy and hardly moves
* Schrader valve tubes is not common in mountain bikes and is more difficult to convert to tubeless

seriously, the frame looks larger than the standard large of most bikes
In the past I've seen decent Mongooses for sale at Wallymart, this may appeal to 6 foot plus customers with little knowledge of bikes, and they should release a Small version to bridge the size gap
