MOD BIKES City+ E-Bike: Entertaining and Informative Review
Today, we’re diving into the world of MOD BIKES City+, a mini cargo bike that’s got it all – from hauling groceries to transporting kids. This isn’t just a review; it’s a journey through the streets of Austin, where MOD BIKES has made a significant impact with their versatile and commuter-friendly e-bikes. So, let’s get the wheels spinning!
The MOD BIKES City+ is a small yet mighty electric bike, perfect for city dwellers and urban commuters. As we stroll through the streets of Austin, it’s evident that this bike is designed to handle the hustle and bustle of city life. With hydraulic disc brakes and cast aluminum alloy rims, the City+ is built to last. Unlike its sibling, the regular City model, the City+ boasts a 48-volt battery, pushing its speed up to 23 miles per hour – a notch higher than the standard 20 mph on the 36-volt battery City model.
One of the standout features of the City+ is its robust build. At 58.8 pounds, it’s on the heavier side for a folding bike, but that weight brings added benefits. The suspension fork with 50mm of travel, combined with 20 x 2.125 inch hybrid tires, ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, even on bumpy city streets. The bike’s center-mounted battery pack keeps it well-balanced, making it easy to handle even with a full load.
Safety is a top priority with MOD BIKES. The City+ is equipped with integrated lights from Star Union, a bright headlight mounted on the suspension fork, and a large reflective rear light. These lights are essential for night rides, ensuring you’re visible to other road users. The bike’s fenders with mudflaps are another thoughtful addition, protecting you from splashes and dirt.
The City+ isn’t just about function; it’s also about convenience. With a bolt-on rear rack that can carry up to 55 pounds, you can easily attach panniers, a trunk bag, or even a child seat. The cast wheels are a game-changer, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance and adjustments that traditional spoked wheels require.
The bike comes with a 7-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain, offering a good range of gears for different terrains. The adjustable stem and 400mm seat post make it suitable for riders of various heights, though it’s particularly friendly for those on the shorter side or older riders who prefer to keep both feet on the ground when stopping.
When it comes to folding, the City+ is straightforward. The frame folds at the center, and the pedals also fold, making it compact and easy to store in tight spaces. Whether you’re living in a small apartment or need to take it on public transportation, the City+ is designed for easy portability.
Overall, the MOD BIKES City+ is a versatile and sturdy e-bike perfect for urban commuting and daily errands. Its thoughtful design and robust features make it a reliable companion for navigating city streets with ease and style.
