Why a MADSEN: Extra Large Cargo Capacity for Kids, Pets, and Gear
When it comes to hauling your crew — whether that means kids, pets, gear, or all three — not all cargo bikes are created equal. One of the most-loved features of the MADSEN is its incredibly spacious bucket, designed for maximum versatility and real-life use. This isn’t just a cargo bike — it’s a fully adaptable vehicle for your daily adventures, growing family, or spontaneous weekend outings.
Toss It in the Bucket and Go
One of the biggest advantages MADSEN riders rave about? How easy it is to toss everything into the bucket and hit the road. No need to rig up panniers, cargo straps, specialty bags, or extra seat attachments like you often see on longtail bikes. Whether it's backpacks, skateboards, a bag of groceries, a pet carrier, or even a week’s worth of library books — just drop it all in the bucket and go.
This kind of usability isn’t just convenient — it’s a game-changer for families who are juggling busy days and just want to ride.
Room for Everyone (and Everything)
Every MADSEN comes equipped with two removable bench seats, each with two seat belts, giving you room to safely carry up to four kids. The ride is smooth and the bucket is deep enough for your little passengers to feel cozy and secure.They love it!
Need more flexibility? The optional middle seat creates a flush, flat surface that opens up countless possibilities. Use it for:
-
A comfortable pet platform
-
Handy under-seat storage
-
An on-the-go diaper-changing station or cozy napping bed
-
A perfect drink cooler, party bike, or a flower-filled beauty
You get to decide how to use it — and you’ll probably invent a few new uses of your own.
A Serious Hauler: 600 lbs of Capacity
With a total weight capacity of 600 lbs (including rider and cargo), this bike doesn’t just fit a lot — it carries a lot. As your kids grow, MADSEN keeps up. Many families switch to MADSEN after outgrowing lower-capacity bikes like the RAD or other longtails. The MADSEN can grow with your family for years, long past the toddler phase.
This is the only cargo bike you’ll ever need, because you won’t have to worry about hitting a weight limit anytime soon. Whether you're hauling backpacks and sports gear after school, picking up plants and soil at the nursery, or loading in groceries with a kid or two in tow, the MADSEN handles it all with ease.
Once a MADSEN Rider, Always a MADSEN Rider
We call it becoming a "MADSEN Lifer" — the moment you realize your bucket bike is here for the long haul. You’ll use it with little ones, adapt it for pets and errands as your kids grow, and then bring it back full circle when the grandkids arrive. We've seen families do exactly that — pass down their MADSENs, or keep them in use for decades thanks to their durability and timeless design.
It’s more than just a bike. It becomes part of your family — ready whenever and however you need it.
