As North America's largest front-load cargo bike brand, we are forever changing the way that families bike together.
Our Story
A life-long bike enthusiast, founder Aaron Powell started Bunch Bikes after falling in love with Scandanavian bicycle culture on a family trip to Malmö, Sweden in 2016. It was here he first discovered cargo bikes, and for a whole summer, he rode with his daughter every day just like the locals did.
But after coming back home, Aaron was unable to find a reasonably-priced, quality-made cargo bike to buy for his family. So he made it his mission to share the joy of family biking and bring cargo bikes to North America.
The Bunch Bikes Story
Launching Our Company
Aaron launches the Bunch Bikes website on his laptop while walking on a treadmill with his baby son strapped to his chest in an Ergo. We choose a direct-to-consumer model to make front-loading cargo bikes as accessible as possible for families across North America.
The Preschool
Inspired by daycare bikes he saw in Sweden, Aaron adds the six-seater Preschool layout to our lineup. It quickly becomes popular with nature schools, childcare providers and large families who have never before been able to bike together.
The K9
We partner with Bark to produce a limited edition, motorcycle-themed bike for dogs, which is featured in People magazine. Its popularity leads to the creation of our K9 model, the first American cargo bike designed specially for our furry friends.
Growth and Challenges
Our 2.0 bike model launches with major upgrades and a new frame design. The pandemic brings a surge in cargo bike demand, but we soon face severe supply chain shortages that make it difficult to keep up.
Shark Tank Success
Aaron appears on ABC's Shark Tank and makes a deal with two Sharks, Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec. The episode is seen by millions, helping to introduce electric cargo bikes into the American mainstream.
The Bunch Squad
The Bunch Bike is named one of the best e-bikes of 2022 by Outside magazine. We launch the Bunch Squad, an enthusiastic community of Bunch Bike owners who give local test rides and advocate for family biking.
More Choices
Our 3.0 model offers new color options as well as a hugely expanded range of parent-friendly accessories. Our inclusion program also adds several new adaptive seating options - bringing us closer to our goal of a practical, reliable family vehicle for all ages and all abilities.
Safety & Reliability
With the Bunch Bike 4+ we launch our first ever fully UL compliant bike. A newly upgraded braking system continues our reputation as the category leader in safe, reliable family transportation.
A Long Term Plan
2025 brings frequent tariff changes, supply chain bottlenecks and unpredictability throughout our industry. We decide to build for the long term - opening our first ever public investment round to diversify our supply chain, scale our marketing and innovate in our product lineup.
For The Future
With new bike models, new accessories and revolutionary new seating options coming in 2026 - we're excited to keep making family biking more accessible for all ages and all abilities, and more widespread throughout North America!
