Review: MOD’s Easy 3 and Easy SideCar 3 e-bikes provide fast-paced fun that will turn heads

Over the fall, I was invited to attend a media preview where I got my first chance to see the Easy SideCar 3 e-bike from MOD Bikes in person. After a night of browsing some of the hottest new tech to grace the market, I was offered the chance to take the e-bike home to get a first-hand experience of what this model could do. Of course, I gladly accepted, as I’ve been in love with it since I first started covering the brand’s sales long before – captivated by its unique motorcycle-inspired design and its quality parts. I was a little worried upon first hopping aboard the saddle that my hopes for this e-bike might be in for some surprise and rude awakenings, but it’s quickly turned into my favorite way to cruise around NYC during my days off, even if it isn’t necessarily built for the congestion of the Big Apple. Continue reading below to get my hands-on impressions of this e-bike and its capabilities.
