The Original 4+ Upgraded Electric Cargo Bike For Families (2024)

'This is great, we're so glad to get to be your family's minivan! I think what you're saying is true for most folks - it's a big investment for 'just' a bike but very practical if you are using it to get around daily - and enjoying those weekend adventures too. Way to go on hitting 300 miles, and thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Here's to many more years of bike adventures as your kids grow!'

We love our bunch bike! After researching and testing etrikes I quickly started looking at cargo bikes. We ended up ordering my bunch bike within 24 hours and have been using it every day since it arrived!

As a mother with paralysis I love the ability to cycle with my atrophied legs and be able to sit up high and get my children outdoors. From school carpool lane to the splash pad it’s perfect for my small family and even picking up friends. 110% sastisfaction!

This is great to hear, we're so glad to get to serve as your family's wheels! This is what we're all about - making biking more accessible for folks with a wide range of mobility needs. Thank you for taking time to share your experience with other families too!

I've been riding my 4 and 5 year old around town like CRAZY. They are absolutely obsessed with our new bunch bike and so am I. We've been using it daily. It's our new favorite thing to do.

Not only that but the team at Bunch Bikes has been incredible to work with. They helped me pick out the best accessories for my family and the specific activity we like to do. Super responsive to any questions I have about the bike.

Wow Chloe, great to hear you are having so much fun with your kids - and using the bike daily. There's no better way to get out and enjoy the sunshine! Glad our team could help you get underway - that's why we're here!

Drawbacks

Before buying I was really caught up with all of the numbers associated with an e-bike like torque and wattage. In particular there were a few big hills by my house that I was really worried about. But after having had it for a few weeks I see now that I probably wasn't focusing on the right things. The fact is that it is just plain fun to ride. We aren't frankly a big cycling family and we've certainly never had an e-bike. The whole package is just a joy to use. The kids and dog love riding it, but I think my wife and I enjoy driving it even more.

Random notes:
- For what it's worth, the bike did great on all of those hills I was worried about. I never came close to getting "stuck" like I was afraid might happen. You just keep gearing down until it's easy. This is admittedly not fun if you're on a road where traffic can't pass you.
- The trike-configuration took some getting used to, but I now don't notice it at all. The different leaning is just second nature.
- I was really caught up with theoretical top speeds before buying which in hindsight was silly. _It's a bike_. If you want to go faster, just pedal more.
- With that said, on flat ground with no load and barely pedaling, I would say that is very easy to go as fast as I felt comfortable on about level 3 assist. That was around 18-20 mph.
- The giant box the bike comes in is rad. We turned it into a small playhouse in the backyard.

Hi Scott,

This was an amazingly detailed write up, thanks for sharing!

On reason that we aren't tech heavy on our website is that we know the biggest benefit is the joy of riding with your kids up in front where you can talk and laugh with them and share fun family experiences together.

If you want super high-end racing bike specs and top speeds, etc. the Bunch Bike might not be the bike for you. But if you want one to ride daily with the kids around your city, I can't think of a better way to do it.

Welcome to the Bunch Fam!

Hey Cody, thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We love to see the corporate world 'walk the walk' on sustainability and mobility! It's great to see all the different ways and places that a cargo bike can replace a car - or a golf cart, or a Gator - for getting things done.

- Aaron @ Bunch Bikes CEO

Hey Katherine, this is great to hear. It's true, not having to wrestle the kids into car seats is one of the best bike life advantages! Thank you so much for taking time to share your experience with other folks who are still early in the process. It's a big decision and a big investment so hearing from other families who are living the Bunch life helps a ton!
