MOD Easy SideCar 3 eBike
The MOD Easy SideCar 3 is the original sidecar eBike, a patented 24-inch cruiser that combines a 750W torque-sensing electric system with a quick-release sidecar for dogs, kids, or cargo.
Built on a high-performance 6061 aluminum alloy frame inspired by 1940s cafe racer aesthetics, the SideCar 3 is powered by MOD’s 750W geared hub motor delivering 69 N·m of torque through a torque sensor pedal assist system with five programmable riding modes.
The bike ships as a Class 2 with a top speed of 20 mph as default, but it’s adjustable to Class 1 or Class 3 at 28 mph via the display menu. An optional thumb throttle is available for Class 2 mode.
The Samsung Li-ion 48V 15Ah (720Wh) battery is SGS-tested to UL 2271 standards, removable for indoor charging, and dual-battery compatible. Adding a second battery via the Snap-On Rack doubles the range from 50 miles to 100 miles, with riders manually swapping batteries to extend the ride.
The MOD BIKES S3 Smart Color Display with USB charging port shows speed, battery level, and assist mode and supports a 4-digit password lock for the electrical system.
The sidecar is the SideCar 3’s defining feature. It attaches with three quick-release pins and is fully detachable in seconds for solo riding. The sidecar carries up to 150 pounds and includes a removable padded seat with a seatbelt for child passengers, a rear doggie door for easy pet entry and exit, a built-in D-ring for securing a dog harness or leash, and an external entry step. Combined rider and sidecar payload capacity is 400 pounds.
MOD Connect allows riders to wirelessly pair a compatible Lumos smart helmet so that handlebar turn signal controls and brake light inputs sync directly to the helmet — the helmet is sold separately. A wireless taillight that mirrors the bike’s brake light is included standard.
The dual suspension system pairs a Mozo front fork with 100mm of travel, preload adjustment, and lockout with an EXA Form 525 suspension seatpost delivering 40mm of rear compliance.
The bike rolls on Kenda Flame 24 x 3.0-inch multi-terrain tires on 24 x 80mm rims. Stopping is handled by dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors, motor inhibitors, adjustable reach levers, and an integrated handbrake for parking on slopes. The LT-WOO 7-speed trigger shifter pairs with a Shimano Altus 7-speed derailleur and DNP 11-32T freewheel.
A multi-purpose Snap-On rear rack (65 lb capacity, child seat ready), full-cover aluminum fenders, a retro cafe racer LED headlight with clear and amber lenses, a premium aluminum bell, ergonomic faux leather grips, and a Selle Royal premium gel saddle are all included standard. The bike weighs 73 pounds without the battery (7.5 lbs) and 80.5 lbs with it; the sidecar adds 45 pounds. Rider height range is 5’3″ to 6’9″. The SideCar 3 is eligible for purchase with HSA/FSA funds.
