As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be cool to post it. I don’t know if this sidecar can easily attach to any other available ebike frame, but it exists right now, and it can be found at the website for Mod-Bikes.com

Features
As of October 2024, the listed price is around $4300 for both the ebike and sidecar, and their website claims it will be available in November of 2024. Right now, the color selections for the sidecar are black and Army green. It appears as though all models have dual disc brakes, which I like.
For that price, you get an ebike with a 750W rear geared hubmotor from Bafang. The top-speed is 28-MPH, which we approve of, since the side-streets ebikes are allowed to ride on are also populated by 3,000-lb cars that have a 25-MPH speed limit.
The sidecar is detachable, so you don’t have to ride with it attached. According to their website, they have a thumb-throttle, plus “pedal assist” when you want it. I approve of this also. My main ebike is still the cruiser with a Bafang BBSHD from Luna Cycle, and when I am stopped at a red light on a steep uphill, I like to start-out with the thumb throttle, and then switch to the pedal assist for most of the ride.
This combo also uses 3.0-inch wide tires, which I approve of. My Electra Lux Cruiser uses 3.0-inch tires, and I have found that the 4.0-inch fatties are a little squishy when leaning to take a turn. I would not hesitate to use 4.0-inch tires in sand or snow, but for the street, 3.0-inch are my personal choice, regardless of the street ebike model..

The price is in the “early adopter” phase, so I understand why you won’t see a lot of these, but…if it fits your budget and you like it, I haven’t seen anything else like it so far.
