This bike is a dream! As an avid cyclist, I’ve been going on solo rides since my son was born. I had been looking into options so that he could join in on all the fun that biking can provide, and so that my husband didn’t have to stay home while I went on rides. This bike was delivered the week before Christmas and was so easy to open and get on the road. I took it out for a trial ride, that very afternoon of delivery. Since then, we’ve been out at least 2x a week! It’s a joy to ride and so comfortable for me and my son. While I live in AZ, rain isn’t much of a concern but the cover for the bucket has been great in these cold months to keep the wind at bay. I’ve been so pleased with this purchase and cannot wait to get back on it this weekend!

After years of following Masden on Instagram I finally pulled the trigger on a new bike. I was worried it would be **** to maneuver or “tippy” with the kids riding in the back but it’s been really smooth even with 3 kids in the back! My kids love it and think it’s so fun to sit in the bucket and ride together. I am so excited for all the new memories we will make with this bike. Trust me it’s worth it!

I/we have taken the bike for several rides with no problems. Overall it has been much easier to ride than I anticipated. The build quality is excellent, I’m very pleased with the kickstand, it’s stable and easy to use. I’m still figuring out the shifting but after watching some videos from the mechanisms manufacturer I think I should be good going forward (I’ve had difficulty getting to the biggest gear which means a lot of peddling and feeling of “spinning out”). The kids (2) love riding in the bucket and I can’t wait to try adding more passengers. I definitely would/will recommend this bike to others:)

Okay, for starters, I WON this fabulous bike!!! So yes, enter those giveaways, dreams do come true and people (average people) win them! I wanted this bike for years! I saw it on Instagram and started following the Madsen community ASAP. Then the day finally came, I entered another giveaway and the next morning at 4:30 am I was jumping with joy and freaking out because I was chosen! I WON A FULLY LOADED MADSEN!!! I was extremely excited! I knew exactly what color (yellow) and I knew I wanted to add the electric assist. The bike came quick, and packaged really well, and was very easy to set up. Lisa and the Madsen team were very great at communicating and getting back to me with any questions or concerns I had. I HIGHLY recommend this bike and adding the electric assist! Thank you for reading my little story here and I hope you end up with a Madsen too!

My wife loves the bike, and it gets a lot of compliments. But although she’s young and healthy, she can’t even come close to keeping up with me (and vice versa when I ride the Madden). It’s a struggle to get up inclines when the bucket is fully loaded with kids and our car seat. In retrospect, I would’ve saved up for another couple months in order to get the electric assist option. I know we could order it separately and install it ourselves, but I’m mot mechanically inclined so I know that’s going to be a chore if we decide to do that at some point. I recommend having them install it when you buy it.
