With 8 years of experience, we're proud to support thousands of customers across the US and Canada through a business model that's profitable and sustainable for the long term. So - why are we seeking investment now?Short answer: We see a golden moment of opportunity to make bold moves for growth - and lead the cargo bike boom that's coming.Read on for our top five big moves... organized from least to most "brand new!"5. Future proof our supply chainIn the current political climate, the only thing we know for sure is that more change will come. We're planning ahead for the unexpected - ordering extra inventory, exploring new suppliers and building redundancy and resilience into our supply chain. Investing in this work up front will help us stay flexible, no matter what comes next!4. Superpower our 2026 bikeWe know, we know - you love your Bunch Bike!But we also know that cargo bike technology is still young and there are still some pain points, especially for our heaviest "bike everywhere, every day" users. We have big goals for our 2026 model and beyond - some of which will be easier to achieve as we scale. Our mission is to continuously improve our bikes to create the safest, most reliable, most powerful electric cargo bike for everyday family transportation. 3. Invest in retail and rentalHeading to the beach on vacation? Rent a Bunch to get around with your kids and gear - and stop for ice cream as needed.Cousins visiting town? Grab a Bunch for the day so you can show them the sights in style.Curious about the bike life? Borrow a Bunch from your local cargo bike library to test ride an easier school commute!Making cargo bikes widely available for test rides, rentals and loans is key to our strategy for big growth. These short-term options are a much more accessible first step for families who are just beginning their cargo bike journey - and soon fall in love!We're super excited about our new partnership with Pedego, the largest ebike retail and rental network. We're doing all we can to support cargo bike "lending library" programs, and we're also exploring innovative partnerships with travel and tourism brands, baby boutiques and more.Creating these experiences in 2025 will help us supercharge cargo bike adoption in 2026 and beyond.2. Develop new productsOne thing that makes the Bunch Bike different from other options is our fantastic ecosystem of accessories, upgrades and add-ons - designed by parents to make everyday bike commuting easier and more fun.That's everything from adaptive seating for children with mobility needs, to weather protective options for commuting in rain or shine, to equipment for a wide range of real-life parking situations, to parent-friendly storage for your keys, drinks and snacks. We are deep in R&D on a number of innovative new products and accessories - based directly on parent feedback. Some are fixes for small inconveniences. One is a larger project, potentially revolutionary for cargo bike families everywhere. Launching these new products will make family biking easier and more accessible - for Bunch families, and beyond.1. Communicate with the 90%Do you remember the very first time you saw a cargo bike? Or the first time you rode an ebike - and experienced that "WHEE" freedom? If you live in a bike-friendly area, you may be used to seeing ebikes at every park, playground and preschool dropoff. But it's important to remember that the vast majority of Americans have never ridden an electric bike; have never seen a cargo bike in person; and may not even be aware that cargo bikes exist. Our growth to date has been almost entirely organic, fueled by playground conversations, one-to-one referrals, and carefully targeted marketing.We think it's time to begin reaching out to a wider audience - sharing the cargo bike life with families who may be brand new to the possibility of biking for transportation with their kids. Testing the most effective messaging will take time and money. But we know it's worth doing - because right now, 90% of our market doesn't even know our category exists!The bigger pictureEbikes are already booming - and we think cargo bikes are next!That's because ebike technology makes cycling more accessible not only as a sport or recreational activity but as a form of healthy, active everyday transportation. With a little electric assist, you don't have to be an athlete or a zealot to enjoy zipping around to your job or the grocery store by bike - and skipping the traffic and parking hassles.As more Americans get used to the convenience of getting around by ebike, they'll be looking to zip around with their kids, pups and cargo as well.There are lots of other fantastic cargo bikes out there. But out our unique three-wheeled, front-loading design makes our bikes more convenient and comfortable for our users. We make it especially easy for families to get rolling with more kids, bigger kids, big dogs, or adult passengers - and for primary riders who are looking for a more relaxed, less aggressive ride style.We're preparing today for a future in which getting around by bike is increasingly normal and widespread. With these steps, we can take the lead - and help bring about the cargo bike boom that's coming!
