I would like to see an example of a fiber bundle $\mathbb{T}^2 \to X \xrightarrow{\pi} B$ whose fibers are tori $\mathbb{T}^2:=(S^1)^2$ and whose vertical tangent space $\ker(d\pi) \to X$ is not a trivial vector bundle? Which homotopy groups does one need to look at to construct such an example?
A torus bundles with non-trivial vertical tangent bundle
