I’ve always been a fan of “not quite electric” e-bikes – stealthy machines that are 90% bicycle, with an extra 10% of power to help get you up the occasional hill – but riding the Mod Easy 3 made me rethink everything. This fat-tire, powerful heavyweight could easily be mistaken for a motorcycle more than a “normal” bicycle, but it’s such a joy to ride that I’ve become an e-bike convert.

Yes, I am now a big, huge, “don’t give a shit” e-bike rider. I don’t care about the occasional dirty looks I get on my local mixed-use bike path, and I have the Mod Easy 3 to thank for that.
