https://electricbikereview.com/bunch-bikes/the-coupe/ The Bunch Bikes Coupe is a lightweight three-wheeled electric assist box bike designed to transport up to two children in the box and one child seat on the rear rack. It includes two removable seat belts, fenders to cover each wheel for finger protection and to stay dry, a premium plastic chain cover, puncture-resistant reflective tires, and bright integrated front and rear lights for safety. The front of the box folds down to make loading easy and has two plastic bumpers to keep the paint from getting scratched up. The bike itself comes in four color schemes… more than any other electric box bike I’ve seen! Larger 24" and 26" wheels improve ride quality and premium hydraulic disc brakes with parking lock switch maximize control. An ABUS frame lock secures the rear wheel for quick stops and a hidden battery switch deters tampering with the display. Multi-sensor pedal assist responds faster than cadence sensing only, and requires less muscle force to get going. Default top speed is set to 25km/h (15.5mph) but this can be adjusted in the settings menu if you want to go slower or faster. Great display panel with big readouts and an intuitive button pad with dedicated buttons for lights and information readouts. Automatically shifting electronic Enviolo AUTOMATiQ CVT lets you pick a comfortable cadence and the bike does the rest! Costs $1.7k more than the heavier "Original" model from Bunch, but is lighter, narrower for fitting through doors, and more efficient for longer range. Shipping costs at least $199 extra, but the bike comes ready to ride and is extremely well protected. Only one frame size available, but the seat post and handlebar height are highly adjustable. Unique steering setup requires some reaching and leaning at times, limited turning radius, no bottle cage bosses or USB charging ports for accessories, ENVIOLO shifter controller runs on a disposable CR2032 coin battery vs. the main rechargeable ebike battery system. The Bunch Bikes Coupe was featured on the TV show Shark Tank on March 26th 2021.
