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.
Secure Your Battery: Single loop wrap your battery straps! Your Easy battery comes with straps to hold the battery in place. DO NOT WEAVE THE STRAPS THROUGH THE BRACKETS! A single loop will allow for a much tighter hold and security for the battery when you're riding.
Space Between Components: The security of your battery will minimize the shifting and sliding of your battery during rides and will not crush the cable connections and controller.
Charging Port: The MOD Easy and Ape Hanger both contain a charging port under the tank, so you do not need to remove the battery every time you need to charge.
Mounting Locations: The Easy 2 and Ape Hanger have pre-drilled mounting locations specifically for both a water bottle and a foldylock.
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.
Keys: Don't lose your Easy keys! They are necessary for opening the tank, which contains the battery and controller.
USB Port: There's a hidden USB port at the bottom of the display screen and will charge certain devices on your ride!
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.
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.
