BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

- Reviewers relish the utility and cargo capacity of the box.
- Compared to longtail cargo bikes, the box provides superior weather protection for kids, especially with the optional canopy.
- The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are "terrific."
- The bike arrives fully assembled and ready to ride.
- The stated height range of 5'2" to 6'6" is realistic, according to testers. Optional customization expands the range to 4'11".
- Reviewers enjoy the smooth acceleration.
- In real-world tests, the bike hauls a 230lb rider and 100lb of cargo 20.2 miles on maximum assist.
- Testers welcome the consistent speed increases across PAS levels, with level 1 making extra-low speeds easy.
- Reviewers say the upright riding position is comfortable.
- The large display is easy to read, except through polarized glasses.

10 reasons not to buy
- Reviewers complain that bumps are jarring for everyone on the bike and can be unsettling for taller riders.
- The Bunch Bike is extremely heavy at 152lb (Original, K9) or 160lb (Preschool). Testers say pedaling up steep hills is difficult, even with max assistance.
- Learning to handle the bike safely takes time, especially over bumps and through tight turns.
- Experts say most longtail bikes are more agile and energetic than the Bunch Bike.
- The cables are messy around the handlebar.
- Fixing a puncture is harder than on a two-wheeled bicycle. Bunch offers optional tire inserts to reduce the chance of punctures.
- Experts say the box is cramped for more than two children older than about eight.
- The Bunch Bike’s width, length, and low speed are ill-suited to navigating busy roads or bike paths.
- If there is too much weight at the front of the box, the bike can tip forward when the rider dismounts.
- The Bunch Bike's size and weight make storage challenging.
Bottom line
The Bunch Bike is an electric three-wheeled box bike with a 500W hub motor and 614Ah battery. The utility, smooth assistance, excellent brakes, and range impress. The riding position is comfortable, but the ride over bumps is poor. Additionally, the handling takes some getting used to, the box doesn’t suit bigger kids, and navigating busy areas is challenging. Overall, reviewers say the Bunch Bike offers good value as a car replacement for young families but only for those living in areas with smooth pavement and no steep hills.
