The K9 4 - Open Box

I saw this bike and was torn between it and some other traditional 2 wheel bikes. If you have the room for it I would recommend this over the rest. My kids love it, I love being able to put their lunches, toys, etc. in there and not worry about stuff falling out.

I should preface this by saying I've spent over 42 years in the laboratory field and can be very detail oriented. I also belong to a large Northern Michigan cycling club and have organized basic bike maintenance classes as part of our community education outreach. So instead of boring you with details I will attempt to distill my reasons for purchasing the Bunch K9 below.

Safety - Durability - Stability - Maintenance/Upkeep
and these 4 items can overlap
Third party (Independent) certification, UL - DIN - SGS is important

With the rash of recent lithium battery fires it was important to have independently certified battery and charger - either UL (US) or SGS (German). The safety ratings on the hydraulic disc braking system is also very important with regards to stopping distance on the much heavier cargo bike.

The Bunch K9's three wheels offer more stability for my two high energy dogs. I live in a wooded area, and imagine peacefully riding along and all of a sudden squirrel!!!

We are currently a two-car family. The average price of a new automobile is at $44,000 (pre tariffs); and the 2025 IRS business mileage rate of $.70 per mile adds an additional $7000 per 10,000 miles driven. It's not financially sustainable for me. The Bunch K9 will replace my second automobile.

Repairing a flat tire is easy with a standard 2 wheel bike but more involved with a cargo bike. One really GREAT accessory is the Tannus Tire Liners as they prevent most flats (foreign material & pinch flat). This was an easy decision for me as there will be a lot of road construction in my area over the next two years.

I received my bike in between snow storms in December - couldn't have timed it better. Three months later, and after 11 feet of snowfall, we've gotten a big thaw. Unseasonably warm days means I get to ride now. For the last 25 years I have been riding road, mountain, and cross bikes. This is a whole new way of riding for me - upright and on the most generous saddle I've ever ever seen on a bike. It feels a lot different - turns, crowned roads and pavement not perfectly level is very evident. So I'm going slow. Also, I've had no problems going up the hill I live on - gradually increasing to a 6% grade and 8% in my short driveway.

I purchased an extra double clip dog leash as I have two dogs. I training my dogs to ride separately and used both to safely clip them in during this time period. Bottom line is I'm learning and am trainable - just ask my dogs.

My dog loves our new k9 Bike. Going to the park became a lot more funnier! Thanks for this amazing e-bike it’s the best thing we have ever got!

We are having the most fun you can have riding a Bunch Bike with my best friend Shelby (my service dog.) She goes everywhere with me now because of the Bunch Bike. We're either in the truck or riding around on the Bunch Bike. We've been downtown on Main Street, at the mall (Security allows me to ride the bike inside the mall) and at our local park enjoying time together. I've been asked a lot of questions about the bike. Did I make it? Where can I get one of those? Its been a showstopper for sure when we're inside the mall. And of course, Shelby enjoys all the attention when we stop and answer questions. Looking to ad a few accessories in the coming days and we're having a absolute blast.

The pups are loving this bike! We are still all getting trained on this (myself included), and the dogs are taking to it quickly! Stay tuned for more great pics! @onthetrailnorthshore.

We have had our bunch bike for 3 months and we can't imagine trail work without it. We use the bike at least once a week to haul tools to our volunteer events. However, one thing we didn't anticipate is how much our adult volunteers love hopping in the bike and riding down the trail to do different tasks. This bike isn't just for transporting kids! Adults love it too.

If you are on the fence for buying a Bunch Bike take advantage of test riding one. Ask questions! Talk to other users. Figure out if it is a good fit. Another awesome thing about Bunch is after you purchase a bike you aren't left hanging if you have any issues or questions. The customer service with Bunch is truly amazing. Buying a bike you are part of the Bunch Bike community. If Bunch Bike can't answer your question, another user is there to help.

I test rode a Bunch Bike four years before I purchased one and my only regret is not buying one sooner. The bike itself is great. What impresses me most about Bunch is their customer service.

I do the big grocery shop, tree hauls from garden store and recycling runs with ease – faster than I did with a truck.

The bike takes some practice to ride to become proficient at handling cambered roads and turns. I also found that my 33kg dog requires more than one anchor point to keep her secure the cargo box. I live in a dense, urban area and I am satisfied with the ability to lock up the bike even on crowded bike racks. I would recommend, the rear wheel lock and alarm system to any potential buyer concerned about security.

I love the extra battery I bought. I can get to my regional park with gardening gear (70kg) across 24km on two batteries.

Finally invested in a cargo bike this summer after talking about it for 5+ years. After riding 2 wheel options in Europe, I was nervous about getting a trike, but I’m so happy I went with a Bunch. I bought it to transport our dogs, but have found myself using it for everything. After about a month, I’ve replaced all my around town car trips with this bike. The Bunch team was great to work with and added many cute additions after I mentioned our dogs in the order notes. It arrived fully built and charger and hit the road 5 mins after unboxing. So far, on our local roads, it’s been handling fine at ~15mph. My gf rides in the box and has mentioned it’s a bit bumpy, but part of that could be our roads. The dogs like to chase bikes more than ride in them, but we’re training them to enjoy sitting in it and it’s improving. It is such a mood boost to run errands on, listening to reggae and getting plenty of smiles/comments from neighbors, other pedestrians, and even people in cars. If you’re teetering on whether to invest in one or not, I recommend doing it.

Fun, Fantastic, Phenomenal

We purchased this bike after a brain injury limited my wife’s ability to ride on her own. Bunch talked me thru options, providing excellent pre- and post-sale service. I appreciate the focus on inclusion for people with special needs.

We have been enjoying it for about six weeks and are very happy. She and I can easily ride with our 60 pound pooch. And, it’s a hit with the grandkids.

Glad we found the “bucket bike” and their team.
