Described as a \u201ctrue American icon,\u201d the Groove focuses on comfort and utility, and comes in two flavors\u2014a step-through and step-over frame. Both versions offer a comfortable riding position, with adjustable handlebars making the bike suitable for folks of varying heights. More specifically, MOD says that the Groove is suitable for riders ranging from 5\u20192\u201d to 6\u20194\u201d in height.<\/p>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"video\" data-url-params=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizer\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAYAAAA7KqwyAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAABpJREFUeNpi\/P\/\/PwMlgImBQjBqwLAwACDAAOVfAw9\/ZDvcAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/p>\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TrZdpLmhKUQ\" data-src-param=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>As for the frame, the Groove incorporates a no-frills 6061 aluminum frame that rolls on 26-inch wheels on either end. MOD has outfitted the Groove with a Mozo suspension fork with 50 millimeters of travel to soak up those bumps and uneven road surfaces. Furthermore, the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/category\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\">technology<\/a> MOD has thrown into the Groove is a sharp contrast to its otherwise vintage appeal. For instance, it gets integrated LED lights, and even a password-protected smart display.<\/p>\n<section contenteditable=\"false\" data-widget=\"mosaic\" data-type=\"2\" data-align=\"none\" data-size=\"100\">\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"6846719\" data-title=\"\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s2\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg\" alt=\"Get Your Groove On With MOD\u2019s New Electric Beach Cruiser \" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lEEgJ6\/s2\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"6846720\" data-title=\"\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s2\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg\" alt=\"Get Your Groove On With MOD\u2019s New Electric Beach Cruiser \" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s3\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/pbbLBY\/s2\/get-your-groove-on-with-mod-s-new-electric-beach-cruiser.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p>Performance-wise, the Groove packs a punchy 750W hub-mounted motor enabling it to hit a top speed limited to 28 miles per hour. It\u2019s powered by a 48V, 12.6 Ah battery pack that\u2019s claimed to offer a range of up to 45 miles on a single charge. That said, once you\u2019ve covered that much ground, you\u2019ll be faced with a waiting time ranging from three to six hours for the battery to be fully topped up. Retailing for $2,590 USD, the MOD Groove comes in four retro-inspired colorways that nod to the bike\u2019s beach cruiser origins: Salsa Red, Ocean Blue, Charcoal Black, and Army Green.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22609898%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22The%20Volcon%20Brat%20Storms%20Into%20The%20E-Bike%20Segment%20With%20Rugged%20Performance%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22volcon-brat-officially-launched%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FQeezP0%2Fs5%2Fthe-volcon-brat-storms-into-the-e-bike-segment-with-rugged-performance.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22608826%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Rymic%E2%80%99s%20New%20Infinity%203%20Wants%20To%20Make%20E-Mobility%20Available%20To%20The%20Masses%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22rymic-infinity3-electric-commuter-bike%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%221%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FW88pPL%2Fs5%2Fz0ecbkrsy6o.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We previously talked about e-bike manufacturer MOD and its retro-inspired Easy SideCar.
