Das Innere von MODMOs Heads-up-Lenkerdisplay

There’s something special about being able to monitor your ride as you cycle, and that’s exactly what inspired us when designing our MODMO ebikes.

We built a handlebar display into both our models of ebike (the Saigon S and the Saigon+) that will allow you to monitor data about your ride in real time, without having to stop. Our heads up display sits on top of the handlebars so that you can look at it whilst on your ebike, tracking everything from battery power, trip distance and overall distance to power level and speed.

How to turn on my heads up display

Before you start, check out the image below for guidance on where the up, down and on buttons are on your handlebar.

Next, press and hold the “on” button for 1-2 seconds. Turning on the display on your MODMO ebike will turn on the bike itself. The bike will shut down automatically if it is left idle for 10 minutes.

What can I see on my heads up display?

There are a number of functions visible on your heads up display, from battery power to an indication of the distance you have travelled.

Battery Indication

There is a battery level indicator on your handlebar display that shows how much power you have left. When the battery is full, all five segments will be illuminated. When it is critically low, no segments will be illuminated and the indicator will flash.

Speed and Distance Indication

Your ebike handlebar display will also show you the speed at which you are travelling. The default mode is ‘current speed’, which indicates how fast you are going, but you can also press the ‘on’ button to cycle through other modes - an odometer for total distance travelled and for the distance of your current journey. If the current speed is over 0 km/h, the mode will return to ‘current speed’ after two seconds.

Power Assist Level

Using the ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons on your handlebar, you can switch between power assist levels, changing the output power of the motor.

There are 5 power assist levels available on your MODMO ebike, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Your ebike’s power assist levels can take you from 6km/h on the default level 1, up to 25km/h on level 5.

Your bike can also be used on level 0 by pressing the down button until you reach 0. This means that there is no power assist and you can ride your ebike like a normal bike.

Front Headlight

The buttons you use to turn on and manage your heads up display can also be used to turn on and off the headlights. Simply press and hold the button with the ‘up’ arrow on it for a short time to toggle the lights on and off. On the Saigon+ you can also control the brightness of your front headlight.

Error Codes

If your ebike’s system ever encounters an error, it will indicate this with an error code on the handlebar display, and your bike’s motor will be disabled. Only once the problem has been resolved will the display and the ebike itself return to normal functionality.

In the unlikely event that you experience this, visit our support hub for insight into how to fix your error code, or when to contact us.

Amazing

What a bike, great specs and well made.Huge bargain with all the extras.

Great E-Bike, Disappointing Customer Experience

I purchased this e-bike after extensive research, and in terms of performance, it truly delivers. The bike is fantastic—smooth riding, battery life, and excellent motor power. For daily commuting or leisure rides, this e-bike checks all the boxes.
Unfortunately, my experience with the company has been far less positive. From the moment I asked for a spare battery, the customer service fell short. They did not respond to my emails, leaving me feeling ignored and unsupported. Shame MODMO team.
Overall, I love the e-bike but can't fully recommend the company due to their lack of support.

My bike has arrived and I am pleased with it although there is no key for the battery and it does not appear to be removable which isn't what I expected and is a security concern. I have stuck black insulation tape across the headlight to prevent glare into my eyes whilst riding. Have emailed to register warranty and enquire about accessories but still waiting for a response....

My second Modmo

I've had the Saigon for 18 months, and have not been disappointed. There have been a few niggles. The first was the battery was dropping in the frame which meant it wouldn't charge or would sometimes not power on. This was fixed with some simple packing between the battery and the battery cap to keep it in position. The second is chain tensioning - with no horizontal dropouts it's impssible to deal with chain stretch and get the ideal tension. An external chain tensioner solved this, and with a new chain and a 16T rear sprocket, it has been an excellent commuter, easily covering 45miles round trip. The mudguard fastenings at the fork crown and seat stay bridge are made of cheese, so I binned the mudgaurds pretty quickly.
I've upgraded now to the Saigon+, or at least the 2024 edition. The frame engineering is significantly better - the ugly welds have gone and the finish is much better. It's heavier, but I do like the Gates drivebelt and does overcome tensioning issues, in fact, eliminates chain maintenance altogether. The Enviolo gearing is an interesting concept - especially for a single-speed rider like myself. Still haven't made my mind up on it yet, but will persevere.
The user manuals need some work. They haven't been updated for all the Saigon and Saigon+ features, so don't have 100% coverage and you have to find a few things out for yourself.
However - Modmo produce solid and reliable commuters, and well worth the money, once you apply one of the many discounts that they make available.
