Innovation, Customer Service Buck Motorbunny Into the Forefront

Innovation, Customer Service Buck Motorbunny Into the Forefront

I love my job. I really do. With 26 years of experience in the sex toy industry under my belt and in my panties, I think I’ve done it all and seen it all — up until now.

Imagine my utter thrill in getting the latest incarnation of the innovative Motorbunny to straddle and review. And imagine my continued thrill to be able to enjoy every pulse and thrust with my every cell while riding this amazing power pack of pleasure. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

People buying a Motorbunny are investing in their sex lives and they deserve to have it be a reliable product that works.

Saddle-type, riding pleasure machines have been around for quite some time and it wasn’t until five years ago that Caleb Thompson, co-founder of Motorbunny, decided that there needed to be an addition to the one product that dominated the market for decades. He realized that the single product available was priced really high, was never on sale or had a promotional discount, and most of all, lacked change or innovation in that category.

“Me and my partners come from a corporate IT background and we’re all serial entrepreneurs,” shared Thompson. “Despite the fact that we all are uninterestingly vanilla, we thought this would be an interesting opportunity to not only improve the product but also offer a comparable one for $800 less than the forerunner.”

He continued, “Brooks Butler is the other co-founder. Brooks has a start-up background, and is the technology expert in the team. He is absolutely relentless in challenging the status quo. Brooks is the guy who will keep Motorbunny in the lead position as a technology innovator in our industry.”

Craig Mewbourne rounds out the founders’ trio as the chief marketing officer. His experience is working with marketing firms representing large global companies and now he focuses on the fierce customer service Motorbunny is known for.

The team got hard at work in their offices in the Midwest, making sure that Motorbunny was going to fill the holes the other product left behind. (Holes in the behind — yes, that’s one way to use it!) They felt that users would be more inclined to use a saddle stimulator that would vibrate and thrust instead of simply spin around and vibrate —which were the only options for the other product. Given the popularity of more commonly available thrusting (aka “fucking”) machines, they knew this would make the Motorbunny different, offering thrusting and vibration while experiencing the comfort of straddling a saddle rather than having to stand or be on all fours to receive the thrusts from a large, clunky, all metal “standard” fucking machine that didn’t even vibrate.

There was more the Motorbunny team wanted to perfect. They wanted to combine durability and quality since they found the machine would have to endure not only excessive use but also being toted around to clubs, parties, dungeons and other places where like-minded penetration practitioners populate.

Thompson explained, “These machines have to be industrial strength for all kinds of wear and tear. People buying a Motorbunny are investing in their sex lives and they deserve to have it be a reliable product that works; and if they have trouble with it, they should have someone stand behind it and resolve it for them.”

This is another way Motorbunny differentiates itself from other saddle-type pleasure products currently available.

Thompson boasted, “Our customer service is like no other in the industry. We are obsessive about our customers and feedback from them regarding everything from the texture of the cover, to the packaging and then incorporating that feedback with every single manufacturing cycle we go through. We usually go through six or seven manufacturing cycles, consistently listening to customer feedback when we make changes.”

Never satisfied with just one product, two years ago, Motorbunny began to add to their line and develop the Motorbunny Buck, combining the best vibrating features of the original with customer-demanded thrusting ability. The Buck is a technologically advanced pleasure device with several patents pending the company developed to cross over into the thruster category.

Thompson expanded about the project. “We realized there are two worlds that have the same customer base. We looked at our customer profiles and they are the same people who spend $2,500 for a thrusting machine. We decided we could make a thruster and vibe and come up with a winner. Bam! It’s a premium experience out of the box. We did everything to make the Buck an incredible experience for the buyer. Bluetooth works right out of the box, the knobs are easy to use, can be used with internet control, there’s preset patterns and it also offers a right angle wedge.

So about that wedge and the amazing Buck. I tried it. I rode it. Here goes:

Basically, it’s everything you need for an incredible, penetrable ride of your life. Being a G-spot girl myself, let me take it from the top.

The unboxing ceremony was astonishing. Everything is carefully packaged and the unit even includes a universal adapter since Motorbunny’s customer base is often from several countries. See what I mean about customer service?

There are 10 components in the box, including two, slightly differently shaped toggles that are the secret sauce in making the Buck extra special. The silicone covers for the mechanism and for thrusting have a smooth, high-quality feel and offer just enough firmness and flexibility for a fun bucking.

I started out, as the fine folks at Motorbunny suggested I do, with the low, flat attachment that provided steady external stimulation and got me in the groove to learn how to grind into the saddle. Sure, I do that all the time when I’m getting it on but this time, humping the Motorbunny Buck was a different experience.

And what an experience it was! Using the straight toggle, I screwed it into the base so it pointed directly up. I slipped on the thumper attachment, which has the ribs on the shaft that I know and love, and it was just long enough without being too wide. After drizzling on a bit of water-based lube, I positioned myself on the Buck “top, dead center” and twisted the control knobs for both vibration and up and down thrusting. Whew! What a ride!

Wanting to hop on the Motorbunny even more, I removed the thumper, unscrewed the thrust toggle, and screwed in the G-thrust toggle, which allows the Buck to buck at that G-spot angle so many women love. It’s actually an up and forward thrust. I put on the “sweet spot” attachment that has the “come here” finger bend in it and also has a wider base to allow for a different, thrusting experience.

And yes, it was different! The impressive thing about using this attachment and toggle was that it is at the perfect angle for hitting the G-spot. Think erect penis and the angle for Mr. Happy and you get the idea. And imagine straddling the never-ending thrust and vibration Buck can provide. Yeah. That’s what I’m talking about!

Truth be told, aside from a good ol’ straddle session (which is easily done on the Buck), I also like it doggie style and that’s what the included right angle wedge provides. It lifts one end of the Buck to give a butt-in-the-air ride and even allows the unit to sit firmly on its end to give a real poking from behind. Now that position really got me going as I kept increasing the speed and intensity of the vibrations.

When I was done with my ride, I was done! It was an explosive experience and I lost count of how many times I orgasmed on it.

Being the technology-driven company that they are, the Buck just gets better! The gizmo can be controlled remotely, either from across the room or across the world via the Motorbunny LINK app. Imagine the satisfaction a rider can get with the surprise of different thrusts and vibrations from a lover, far, far away.

Those Motorbunny guys will be smiling as much as I did after hopping on and getting the Bucking of my life. Thanks for making such an awesome product. Keep up the great work!

And for extra fun when you can’t actually ride your Motorbunny Buck, download the FappyBunny app developed by Motorbunny, which will keep you entertained and thinking about having more fun on the actual saddle itself.
