Review for Private: Boda Boda old
This bike has changed my life. Biking is one of my favorite leisure activities. When I had my son, we used the typical bike seat that attaches to my personal bike. As he outgrew the seat, we weren’t sure what our next mode of biking would be. A trailer was unappealing to us. When we saw the Yuba Boda Boda,it was a no brainer! This bike was made for our lifestyle! Biking around town with my son is comfortable, efficient, and fun. And the bike is versatile; as he gets bigger we will likely change out the monkey bars for just a handlebar, which will make mounting and dismounting faster. This bike has allowed me to get back to my favorite activity, with my kid. I’m hoping it instills in him the same love for biking that I have.

Love my Boda Boda - perfect size to haul but not so large that it's too big to handle!

I've had my Boda Boda for less than one month, but I am so in love with the bike! I haul a 4 year old an one year old, and the difference between my old bike with a kids' seat on the back and trailer to being able to have them both on the bike with me is amazing. The bike glides so nicely that I barely notice the extra weight.

I have had my Boda for almost 1 month and have gone 500 miles. I have had several people ask what I was riding, and where I got it. I am really enjoying riding again. My only complaint was that the larger step over model only comes in red, and I really wish I could have gotten the green.

We live in an area that's not super bike friendly. Partly due to the climate in western NY, and partly because the infrastructure is not in place in the old city of Buffalo and its suburbs. Nonetheless, my husband schlepped his beat-up Mongoose to and from work in the winter and a nicer Cannondale in the summer for 4 years. It was time to give him an upgrade. He sometimes refers to his Boda Boda as the minivan of bicycles... which is exactly what it looks like when he wheels around town with our daughter on the back and bread basket on the front. While there are some factors that simply don't allow for commuting on the Boda Boda year-around in our area, it is absolutely worth it when it can be used for travel or for fun. It's hardy, sturdy, handles well, and is a dream to ride. The double-kick stand is a must for safe loading and unloading of a child on the back. The only thing I've left to add is a cargo bag and this will be one sweet ride! This is the absolute best alternative to a car and we're so glad we got it!

While I absolutely love my Boda Boda and use it nearly daily to take my two kids (2 and 6) to daycare and school, as well as for grocery runs and outings, I find the pricing on the bike misleading. The price seems like a great deal until you count all the add-ons you have to buy to make it truly work for kids and cargo. In my case it was monkey bars, cushion, Yepp seat, bread basket, frame lock, and most importantly, double kick-stand that's absolutely required for safely loading the kids on and off the bike. In addition, it's a quite disappointing that Yuba changed the thickness of the pannier mounting bars, rendering all standard pannier bags (of which I already have quite a few) unusable: that's another $300 for Baguette V2. Finally I wish the bike came with a customizable handlebar options. I very much appreciate that the step-through frame works flawlessly for my 5'1" frame, but the handlebars are far too wide. Even after my local bike shop cut them down, they are still too wide for me, causing strain in the shoulders.

We absolutely adore this bike. It was a splurge for us, but has proved worth every penny. We got our electric Boda Boda last year, and it has made biking in hilly DC with two kids in tow possible. We carry a 4 year old and a 6 year old with the help of the Yepp seat, the soft spot and the monkey bars. I take the kids to school, and continue on to work every day. This bike, with the bread basket, carries groceries, instruments for music lessons, and more. It's light enough for me, as a not-large woman, to manage comfortably, and yet remains strong and sturdy with all the carrying capacity we need. Because of this bike, we can continue to live happily without owning a car, ordinary errands are a joy, and getting around in our daily lives is simply fun.

I love this bike. But I've had three flat tires in the first three months of owning it. It's so deflating (pun intended) to deal with this again and again. It takes time and continues to add to the cost of an already very expensive purchase, not to mention the lost rides. Also embarrassing when you've told so many people about this great new bike and the story starts becoming about how it's always broken. The last time it happened, I was so frustraited, that I just left the bike in the garage for three weeks. I'm not riding anywhere strange, just the streets and bike paths of the twin cities. I finally bought a new tire with a belt inside protecting us from more flats. It would have been nice if this bike had had this in the first place.

My dream bike! I was thinking of getting a Mundo when the first-generation Boda Boda came out circa 2013. It is everything I could ask for... tall, green, and amazing. I have had to replace the rear wheel once and the cork handgrips. I've added on one first-generation Baguette and a first-generation Bread Basket. I regularly ride with my husband (either one of us pedaling) and we get tons of catcalls (more when I'm pedaling!) Now for a kid to add to the back!

I wish these bikes were around when my kids were little! It would have made hauling my kids less of an organizational and engineering feat! So with children who are now bigger than me, I get asked why do I have a kid hauling bike?? Because even big kids need an occasional lift, to have their bike towed to or from an after school activity or have their school project, instrument or team equipment carried for them as they ride alone. I hear so many stories from families with little kids enjoying their cargo bikes, but i think there needs to be stories of families with big kids too. Also, these last few years of adolescence, when I get to have them on the back of my bike, even occasionally, to have those close conversations as the world glides past is so precious. I know these moments where their bodies are leaned into me and their faces are tilted to my cheek are literally fleeting! Always keep your babies close, even when they are bigger than you and my boda is a part of that.

After owning and enjoying the original boda boda for 2 years we added the newest version last month to our bike family to ease the commute to school this fall with two (4 and 6). We couldn't be happier. My kids love the extra space in back and I love that it is nimble and a joy to ride. I also like how much easier the hills are with 80+ pounds of kids plus cargo. The We are doing more and going further by bike than ever before!

My baby blue Boda Boda V2 is joy. I chuckle past traffic jams carrying my two girls (3 and 5) on the deck to and from school, with me continuing on to work every day. We added a custom monkey bar enclosure and it's been no problem. My girls immediately loved riding on it and begged to have mommy take them on the cargo bike over daddy taking them in the Burley trailer. We can chat so easily and the bike is so light and much easier to ride than a a bike pulling a trailer. The deck is a little high for two kiddos but if I don't walk it much, it's not a problem. The bike is also a conversation starter. I think I've become the goofy proselytizer, but I'm really in love with this bike! I cancelled my $65/month parking pass and am a full on bike commuter. I think these bikes should be issued to everyone after they have a child. No need for gas guzzlers or gym memberships. This gets the job done! Lastly, we bought ours with the seat pad and foot pegs and double kickstand all of which were clutch for keeping kids happy.

My V2 is nearly two years old and I average 16 miles per day with my 50 pound kid in the Yepp seat with the Yuba adapter. After I drop my kid off at school, I remove the seat and I have a well balanced ride for my daily errands!

Love my Boda Boda--I ride my son to school several times a week, but also ride around town (just me, no kid on back) and don't feel like I'm riding a huge bike or having to pull a tag-a-long or trailer behind. It's been the perfect go between--whether I have a kid with me or not. And, my son loves riding on the back (even though he's a proficient bike rider himself). One of the best purchases our family has ever invested in.

This is for the old version Boda Boda V-2. I was one of the lucky few who bought this at a discount when it was closed out for the updated model. My plan was to create my "dream bike" with an electric conversion- beginning with a wheel set that includes a Nexus 8 speed internal shift hub, (with roller brake kit) and a hub mounted generator, I then added a Bafang mid-drive electric conversion kit. I took full advantage of the higher up rear rack by mounting my "Shark" battery pack underneath it, yet above the fender from Planet Bike. The set up has exceeded all my expectations and has become my "RATT" bike- ridden all the time! This bike has an ultra stable feel to it even with uneven loads. I have hauled marble slabs, a lawn mower, another bike, and countless groceries, even steel stock 8 feet long, standing up upon the foot boards. The panniers are humungus and fold out for amazing loads. I expect them to last a long time due to the support of the "running boards" at their bottom. I chose this model over what I was shopping for due to its low weight- I live on the 4th floor of a building with a "micro" elevator the size of a toilet stall- I must stand the bike up on its rear wheel to use it, lol! Even though I have the step through version, this frame has no "wiggle" when shaking the handle bars with a heavy load in back. A true cargo bike without the unconventional looks. Love it!

I take my son to and from school every day on our Boda Boda. He loves the ride and comments on how much fun it is to ride in the back. We can go pretty fast on it if we want, and he likes that too. Going typical speed we get to school in less time than driving and enjoy it much more!

When our 4-year-old outgrew the seat in the back of a bike, we needed a solution to allow us continue commuting to school without the car and still allow us to pick up a few groceries or give a classmate a ride home. The Boda Boda has been perfect! And as a compact cargo, it is still possible for me to carry it up the front steps and round the corner to store it inside. We added the mini monkey bars and to of the smaller soft spots.

Wow. So we just 'accidentally' bought a Boda Boda.... Accidentally as we went looking for an easy cruiser so my wife could take the kids out in the trailer, but found the Boda Boda on consignment at our local bike store and couldn't walk away (we tried!). Hells bells that is one beautifully engineered and put together piece of industrial kinetic art. I am impressed, and thank you for creating such a marvellous machine. Now to figure out how to get it on our tent trailer for our road trip this summer!

I had been using a high-quality folding bike to commute in Bangkok, Thailand almost daily for several years. But then I saw the Boda Boda at a local bike shop, I had to try it. The handling, versatility, and ruggedness make it perfect as a commuter. Now I use it most of the time for commuting to work unless I know I need the portability of a folding bike.
Wow-what a fun and practical bike! I have been riding my Boda Boda from the day I picked it up from the shop. This is my new grocery getter and cruiser. I can carry my 40 lb. Border Collie when we are in an area he cannot run; he loves to ride and watch things go by. I can also haul a week’s worth of groceries, two growlers, and milk no problem. I replaced a cargo trailer and cruiser with the Boda Boda and find the Boda Boda much easier to handle in town and on the Green Belt. I am sure I will be hauling a bunch of stuff with this bike as well as just cruising around on it. Thanks, Yuba for a fun and practical bike.
My new favorite bike! I love being able to take my kids along for a ride when it’s just a little too far for them to bike. This bike is the perfect fit for our family. I added the money bar attachment and the kids can’t wait to go for a ride.
When I asked my son why he wanted to take the bike for errands he said “Its fun and we get free air conditioning”
So much fun for the whole family!!
Comfortable ride when cargo is on the bike also! Rides great and handles perfectly. I recommend the bike to everyone with kids or who want to haul anything.
