The Mod Bikes Black 3 is designed for those who want a bit more flair with their e-biking experience.
I had the bike delivered to me where I completed assembly on my own.
Id imagine most people end up spending another $300-$400 on accessories.
Moving past the color, theres no hiding the fact that this is an e-bike.
This bike comes in one size and its designed for riders between 54 and 71.
The full suspension is great for transitioning from paved streets to dirt trails.
Combined with its full suspension and wider, cushier seat, this bike provides all-day comfort.
For more casual riding, braking is smooth and its e-throttle provides steady and ample power.
Call me cautious, but without additional gear, I wasnt about to test my luck at full throttle!
The battery dropped by about 10-12 miles and 20-25 miles respectively.
This seems in line with Mod Bikes claims that the bike achieves around 50 miles of range.
I tested the snap-on 12-35L trunk bag and front basket which snap on and off with a simple push.
Mod Bikes also offers unique accessories, like a stand-up paddleboard holder, mirrors and phone holders.
While a little pricier compared to generic add-ons, they match the styling and build of the bike perfectly.
It isnt a Mod Bikes-exclusive but has some added benefits when paired together with your bike.
Should you buy the Mod Bikes Black 3?
I genuinely appreciate the ModBike Black 3 for what it brings to the table.
But lets be real; despite what their marketing might imply, this isnt a true mountain bike.
Thats not a knock on its performance, though.
