The MOD Bikes Mantra at SXSW?
“Wow, thats beautiful. Man, that’s cool.”
Each day of the SXSW Mobility Showcase we heard those words as the movers and shakers of the tech world admired the design of two MOD Bike Models in particular- The MOD Easy and the MOD Black. Literally craning their necks to get a look as they passed, expo guests were halted by the visual appeal of the Easy, excited by the power of the Black, then shocked by the practicality of the City models. Why is that important to know? Because as of this month, you can rent any of these models from the MOD Bikes storefront on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis. Just in time for your out-of-town guests! To complete the experience, the MOD Maps new exploration tool offers self-guided bike-friendly routes to Austin’s hottest spots and hidden gems.

“It was rewarding to see the responses to each model we offer, and supported our decision to offer ALL of our models for rental in the field. We recognize that one model isn’t perfect for everyone. If we hope to encourage biking as a primary mode of transportation, guests need access to the right model for their purpose. We believe MOD Bikes represents not just the mobility solutions of the future, but also the lifestyle people are hoping to achieve. It’s about eco-minded, user-friendly transportation, but it’s also about discovering great design, and a sense of fun, which is why we’ve developed MOD Maps,” says founder and engineer Dor Falu Korngold.
“MOD Bikes offers a wide variety of models available for rental. Our full line of accessories, road bikes, mountain bikes, foldables, cruisers, and commuter models are all here for guests to take out. MOD Bikes offers a unique ride like you never experienced before. It’s a safer and better engineered option designed to maximize the rider’s experience. With MOD Bikes, you have people to call, an on-site shop for maintenance needs, and a face to face interaction. Hospitality will always be at the forefront of our brand.” adds Korngold.
