It seemed nobody figured out how to read the serial numbers. The problem was there was no information helping to date Mongoose BMX bikes built from 2000 onwards. However, there are a few BMX restorers who have painstakingly attempted to decipher these multi-digit mysteries.Ī big part of buying, rebuilding and restoring old BMX bikes, is knowing exactly how old they are. When I started looking into finding out how to read Mongoose serial numbers I found plenty of information on Mongoose BMX bikes made in the 80’s and early nineties through google and BMX forums. Mongoose serial number information has never really been properly documented, possibly lost as the company changed hands and moved production. There were many different factories making Mongoose BMX bikes and all had different serial number codes.

The guide covers many serial numbers but not all. Find our what year your BMX was built and sold and date mid school and new-school bikes made between the mid 90’s to mid 2000’s.
