My wife and I have 2 kids, 9 and 6. We love taking them to school in our new bunch bike. The parents give us kudos and ask questions about the bike along the way. My son always asks me to give the bike a "boost!" We use it as our de facto second vehicle and to enjoy the experience of riding together. I like the ability to get moving without pedaling super hard, and raising the assistance level when going uphill. I wish there were shock absorbers for the many potholes and speed bumps in my city!
