I purchased the fully loaded bike in mustard! It’s well built, sturdy and thoughtfully designed. The design is sleek, it’s all so lovely. I can’t think of a single complaint, except that I didn’t get one sooner! We live on a hill and I caved and bought the e-kit add on. It’s worth every penny! If you’re on the fence about adding it or not, it’s a game changer! Amazing customer service, love the small business vibe of the shop. It’s a wonderful shop filled with wonderful people making wonderful bikes! ❤️

We could not be more pleased with our new Madsen bike. We use it to run errands, go for family bike rides, head to the pool... It is very well made, sturdy, and great looking. My wife and I can easily adjust the seat depending upon who the kids vote to be the driver on that day. Thank you Madsen for a great product that adds a lot of value to our lives! - The Bradshaws

The bike arrived extremely well packaged. So well in fact, that I did so much “opening” then I had to wait for my husband to come home. He got it out of the packaging and fitted the parts together. I’d say it took over a couple of hours to unwrap and set up. First impressions... amazing looking bike! I was a little intimidated because it looked so large (I’m 5ft 1” with let’s say... petite inside leg measurement!). I asked my husband to do the first test drive. Off he went down the street (no cargo loaded yet...!) and he was fine! He returned and we popped the boys in (21 months & 5 yo) and he rode off again. Then it was my turn. The seat was lowered to the absolute minimum and the handle bars turned downwards a little. I set off (no cargo yet) and I loved it! Returned home, popped the littlest boy in the bucket and rode off again. (I have seen reviews saying to put the heaviest cargo nearest to the bike seat, so he sat there.) I was nervous as I’d heard about people turning corners with kiddos in the back and the bike tipping over. I took it slow and we were fine. The next day I took both boys on a trip to the library (heaviest boy sat behind me). There is a difference with a heavy load in the back! I asked the boys to keep central if possible and not lean to either side. They did well. I could definitely feel a little wobble when they lent down to reach their water bottles! By the time we arrived at the library, my legs were beginning to feel jelly like and weak. The heat and humidity were intense, plus I haven’t rode a bike in about 15 years! I blame these factors on the following event... When coming to a stop at the library, my “petite length legs” were too weak to stand strong and in slow motion we all gently glided/slid/stumbled into a heap on our left side... (everyone was fine, btw! The boys a little shocked, but they’ve had worse falls than that!). *This bike is very heavy - I was feeling weak and hot! Also, just to note, we purchased the locking cable and that worked great. Easy to use and fabulous that it attaches to the bike when not in use. Now, after the tumble, I was apprehensive of any stops I needed to make. I put this down to my short height. If I was taller, my feet would stand firmer on the ground. But, I’m happy to say that I didn’t tip us over again! The afternoon took us out on a journey to the playground. This time I asked my 5 yo if he would be ok riding his own bike and the littlest one ride in the bucket. He agreed. This journey brought forward an issue that I had previously wondered about... napping kiddos. Yep, he fell to sleep. It was the kind of upright nodding off with an occasional forward/sidewards fall of the upper body (you know the type!). This did create slight wobbles. Luckily we were close to our destination so I didn’t have far to travel with a nodding cargo. Then came an unexpected test for the bike (and it’s rider). Whilst at the playground the wind blew up and the sky darkened over... a most tremendous storm fell upon us. We rode through rain that was flooding the roads and pathways. Rain that pelted down and inflicted pain. Wind that was blowing small branches off trees. And we made it through! Yes, the boys were a little scared, but that Madsen bike gripped the flooding pathways and brought us safely home. Btw, I’m glad that there’s a “hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza...” (That’s a British song reference. I’m from the U.K.) Anyway, I love the bike and I shall ride it everyday and make these weak short legs into a pair of strong short legs!! P.S. Any tips for petite height riders stopping/dismounting, etc would be lovely!

We’ve ridden this bike almost everyday since we got it!

We had searched and searched for a bike solution for our teen daughter with special needs. THIS BIKE IS EVERYTHING we needed and more. Not only does our teen enjoy riding it but so do her younger sisters and it’s given us such freedom to go on family rides that we’ve never had before. Thank you for creating a product that is adaptable and inclusive. You’ll never know just how much of a gift this bike is to us! And to add, Madsens customer service is top notch and I appreciated the personal touches to the whole process!
