I’ve owned this bike for a year now and can officially say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever owned! The ease of loading up my 5, 3, and 1 year olds in the bucket and cruising off with them is amazing (and so much easier than wrestling them into their car seats, haha!). Now the big two are riding their own bikes, it’s lovely to have the option to head out on a long ride and load them and their bikes up once they get tired. Before I had kids, I used to bike all the time. With every kid we added, the amount of time on my bike decreased and I missed it more than I realized. By kid number three it was time to figure out a good system to bike with them all, and the Madsen delivered ten fold. I just wish I had gotten it sooner, I can see how it would have been great, even with just one kid. It is heavier than a regular bike and takes a couple rides to get used to balancing properly on it. But it’s easy once you get the hang of it, and it’s so well constructed I feel super safe even with a ton of weight loaded up. The e-assist was a must-have for me as we live on a hill, but I’ve found it comes in handy on long rides when I get tired, when I lose track of time and need to race home fast, and biking on busy roads to give me a boost when I need to move quickly. To me this bike has really been freedom. Freedom to get out in the fresh air every day in a way that’s easy and fun for me and the kids. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about this bike, I love it!!!

We love our new bike!! So excited for all the new adventures our family will have! We have a 3 year old and a 10 month old and they love riding in it! Purchasing our Madsen has been an easy and enjoyable process. The Madsen team was very helpful and informative during the entire process. Our bike was on backorder when we placed the order and the Madsen team kept in touch with us and continued to send updates about the status of our order. We never felt forgotten about or lost among the other orders. Would definitely recommend!

I’m not a great cyclist and I’m not in great shape, but I’ve always dreamed of being on of those people who rarely uses a car and cycles everywhere. I have a small kiddo, so she needs to come along, too. This bike is great! It’s not hard to balance, the e assist makes riding so easy (I’m not scared of hills anymore) and I can fit so much in the bucket. It takes a bit to get used to the upright position and you have to be mindful not to let it tilt while you’re getting on and off, but overall it’s a great ride and so much fun! (Seat is super comfy on your rush, too!) I get a little worried when I go over all the bumps and cracks in our streets, but the bouncing doesn’t seem to bother the kid.

My wife's the one that told me about this bike but once she did I was intrigued and ultimately I'm so happy/excited we invested in one! I say invested because well it's an investment for sure (the 0% financing monthly installment promotion really sealed the deal for us) but it's: 1) an absolutely beautiful gorgeous bike 2) well thought out, well designed, etc. 3) also an investment in our health/sanity/wellbeing and also our kids' health etc. 4) not to mention the environmental benefits of riding around instead of other alternatives I love riding it and the kids love sitting in it, I try to have a little bluetooth speaker inside the bucket so they can listen to their favourite tunes while sitting. (Need to figure out a way to attach it safely/properly but so far no problems). My wife does find it a bit harder to carry the weight of our 3 kids at the moment but we are working on getting her more practice and trained up for that. Hopefully once she gains the confidence it will be fine. The bike is heavy, one reason why it can carry such a heavy load. I would recommend this bike and this company/brand to anyone and everyone! Mindy was extremely helpful with answering all (I had a lot) of my questions and the shipping process (to Canada) was very smooth and efficient and they just knew exactly what they were doing in terms of the logistics and duties/taxes and all of that. The bike itself was packaged incredibly, it took me 10 times as long to unpack it then it did to put it together... It was especially interesting to have the bike during covid lockdown times as it provided us with something to do but not only that I was able to ride it around to friends/neighbours/family to say hello from the street at a safe distance. It's been great and we look forward to using and growing with it for many years to come. We get a lot of smiles and waves and one lady at a park even clapped and cheered for us as we rode by...it's pretty funny sometimes. But yes, if you can afford it, it's a no-brainer! Especially if your city (like ours) is bike friendly and becoming more and more so. Thanks everyone at the Madsen team, we're very happy and excited to be a part of the Madsen family and it's definitely felt that way with the warm welcomes.

We could literally replace one of our vehicles. In the first month, we have now ridden the Madsen with our 4 and 6 year olds in the back nearly 200 miles! Such a game changer, and one we’re really enjoying while getting a little bit of a workout in as well. We got ours fully loaded, and we are grateful we did, the rain fly is key, and the custom lights and everything is pretty nice too! Thanks Madsen!
