Mod Bikes has unveiled the limited-edition Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara, a cargo e-bike inspired by the iconic 1940s BMW R75 Sahara motorcycle. The Sidecar Sahara is set to make its debut on November 9, 2024, at the Electrify Expo located at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.
Mod’s Unique Take on Sidecars
The e-bike takes cues from the highly sought-after BMW R 75 Sahara motorcycle, which is a prized collectible among enthusiasts. Mod Bikes stands out in the U.S. e-bike market by offering models equipped with sidecars, showcasing a variety of designs. The innovative Easy Sidecar models can easily convert from a sidecar e-bike to a standard two-wheeler in just a few minutes, making them both practical and fun for transporting pets, small children, groceries, and other cargo.

Key Features of the Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara
The Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara offers similarities to the Mod Easy Sidecar 3 e-bike I reviewed back in April 2024. However, Mod has enhanced this version with a dual-crown motorcycle-style front suspension system, a longer sidecar frame, two headlights, and an elevated cargo rack.
Additionally, Mod has integrated a rear doggie door into the sidecar design. Unlike the previous model, which required a person to lift a pet into the sidecar, this new door allows pets to hop in on their own, making it a more inviting setup for furry companions.

The Easy Sidecar Sahara maintains the same powertrain specifications as the standard model, featuring torque-sensing pedal assist, a robust 750-watt continuous rear hub motor capable of reaching speeds up to 28 mph, and a range of 50 to 100 miles based on riding conditions, total weight, and other factors. The bike can support up to 400 pounds, with a maximum of 150 pounds in the sidecar and an additional 65-pound capacity on the versatile Snap-On rear rack.
The starting price for the Mod Easy Sidecar limited edition is $3,899, with an introductory offer of $3,499 available until December 1, 2024.
