Step 3: Tips & Tricks to Get the most from your MOD BIKES

Here are some Tips & Tricks to get even more out of your journey. 


Headlights: 

Hold the + button for 2-3 seconds to turn your headlights and tail lights on and off.

Version Number: 

The version number of your bike can be found on the rear of your seat post. If your bike does not have a number, it is version 01. 


Mounting Locations: 

The MOD Groove has predrilled holes for foldylock and a water bottle holder. There is a set of predrilled holes on the upper and under sections of the frame.


Error Code 25: 

Be sure not to hold the brakes when turning the bike on! This will activate Error code 25 on your display.


  • PSI: The proper PSI can be found on the side of your tire. This will let you know the correct pressure to inflate your tire to.


  • USB Port: There's a hidden USB port at the bottom of the display screen that will charge certain devices on your ride!


  • Serial Number: The serial number for your bike can be found at the bottom of the head tube.




Troubleshooting

  • Loose handlebars or stem → Tighten stem bolts securely using a torque wrench (typically 5–7 Nm) and confirm alignment with the front wheel.
  • Brakes rubbing or misaligned → Loosen the caliper bolts, squeeze the brake lever to center the caliper, then retighten bolts while holding the lever.
  • Pedals won’t thread in or feel stuck → Confirm you're installing the correct pedal on the correct side (L/R marked). Thread in by hand before tightening with a wrench.
  • Chain falls off or shifts poorly → Check derailleur alignment, limit screws, and chain routing. Adjust cable tension using the barrel adjuster if needed.
  • Crank or other bolts keep loosening → Remove the bolt, apply thread locker (like Loctite Blue), and re-tighten to spec.

FAQs

  • How fast can an e-bike go? → MOD BIKES are Class 3 electric bikes, meaning their max speed is 28 mph
  • How far can an e-bike travel on a single charge? → On flat terrain, and with a full charge, our bikes travel for 50 miles. 
  • Do I need a license or registration to ride an e-bike? →  Most of the USA does not require a license or registration to operate Class 3 e-bikes, but some states do. Please check with your local government.
  • How long does it take to charge an e-bike battery? → 6-8 hours from fully depleted.
  • Can I ride an e-bike in the rain? → Yes, you can ride the bike in the rain, but we recommend pulling over and waiting under some cover if it is a torrential downpour or hailing. 
  • What’s the difference between pedal assist and throttle? →  When you pedal, Pedal Assist activates the motor to a certain percentage based on the mode; the throttle activates the motor without pedaling. 
  • How long do e-bike batteries last before needing replacement? → With proper battery maintenance, a battery can last upwards of 8+ years. 
  • Can I ride an e-bike without using the motor? →  Yes,  you can! The Pedal Assist can be turned off on all MOD BIKES models.
