How far can the MOD City+ Step-Thru 3 go on a charge?

MOD rates the 48V 12Ah Samsung battery at up to 45 miles (72 km). Real range depends on assist level, rider weight, hills and wind.

How long does it take to charge?

A full charge takes about 3 to 6 hours. There is no fast-charge option listed.

Is it good for hills?

The 500W rear hub motor peaks at 850W, which gives useful assist on moderate hills. Steep climbs will still need pedal effort.

Can it fit in a car trunk or small apartment?

Yes. The 6061 aluminum frame folds, which is the main reason buyers choose it for small storage spaces.

What size rider does the step-through frame suit?

The step-through design makes mounting easier for riders who prefer not to swing a leg over a high top tube. Check the listed standover and rider height guidance before ordering.

What comes with the bike?

The bike ships with the MOD S1 smart display with USB port and 20-inch Kenda K-Shield tires. The battery is the MOD Samsung 48V 12Ah pack.

Our take on the MOD City+ Step-Thru 3

The MOD City+ Step-Thru 3 is a folding electric bike built around a 6061 aluminum step-through frame, a 500W rear hub motor (850W peak) and a 48V 12Ah Samsung battery rated for up to 45 miles. It rolls on 20-inch Kenda K-Shield tires with reflective sidewalls and carries an S1 smart display with a USB port. The step-through frame and folding hinge make it easy to mount and to store in a small apartment or car trunk, and the 26.3 kg weight is manageable for a folder but heavy to carry up stairs. It suits commuters and casual riders who want one bike for errands and weekend rides; against typical 20-inch folders it offers more motor and battery capacity, while it gives up the lighter weight and lower step-over of compact single-speed folders.
