Description
Ever wanted the bicycle to be a more important vehicle in the game? Now it is with my bicycle mods! Improve top speed, acceleration, durability, damage, and more seats to make it easier to navigate the apocalypse.
Bicycles by default now allow for up to 4 mods to accommodate. Existing saves with bicycles may not receive this change. Mod slots are applied on item acquisition by default in 7 Days.
New mods include:
Lightweight Chassis – Higher top speed
Ultra-Lightweight Chassis – Even higher top speed, but the bicycle suffers more damage
Straight Cut Gears – Massively improved acceleration but decreased top speed
Extended Seat – Carry around another person with you
Reinforced Plating – Improved entity/block damage and decreased bicycle damage at the cost of acceleration
There are more mods if you are ‘able’ to find them 😉
All mods mentioned can be found in loot, purchased from the trader, or crafted at level 5 ‘Vehicle Adventures’ skill at a workbench. The costs of components aren’t very high, so when you can make a bicycle, you’ll be able to make these.
Can it be used with other mods?
- Yes! Make sure they don’t modify the bicycle, and if they do, put ‘0_’ infront of this mod’s name for the folder.
Can I use it on an existing save?
- Of course! Existing bicycles, item or entity, will not get the 4 mods slots unfortunately.
Can I use it on an EAC server?
- Sure! It does manipulate the XML code, but would not be detected by EAC.

Changelogs
v0.2: Reworks, Fixes, and Tweaks
- Removed stamina drain reduction from all mods
- This feature never worked and never will. TFP do not allow for the bicycle to manipulate the player’s stamina system anymore. I spent hours trying to make this work, but nothing would make a difference.
- Increased top speed modifications of Lightweight Chassis and Ultra-Lightweight Chassis to 15% and 30% respectively
- To compensate for no stamina reduction, thou shall go faster.
- Removed the ‘Stunt Pegs’ mod
- Similar to stamina reduction, increasing the hop power in any way did not work. No sense in keeping it in the game. I’m sorry if you ran out of iron to get it 🙁
- Added ‘Reinforced Plating’ mod
- Greatly increases entity damage, slightly increases block damage and slightly reduces the incoming damage to the bicycle. Also slightly reduces acceleration.
- Useful for you maniacs mowing things over
- Reworked ‘Comfort Seat’ to ‘Extended Seat’
- Result of stamina modifications not working with bicycles as stated above.
- Now allows up to 2 players to ride on the bicycle at once!
- Fixed the repeated braking sound caused by the ‘Straight Cut Gears’ mod.
- The rear wheel would spin so fast it would think it was sliding. I took its sound away, so you still hear the noise when you brake or slide, but not all the time!

Big fan of the mod! I’ve been asking for pegs for the bike since day one and it’s crazy it was never a mod before.
Any chance the second player can attack when on them? Would be cool to drive by baseball attack 😀
Hey Deathfromace, so glad you enjoy the mod =) As far as passengers having control of their character at all, let alone attacking, this appears to be a limitation to how players interact on vehicles. This is not easily accessible via XML or surface-level code, and no documentation is available. They should allow this base-game, but I’m afraid they won’t accomplish this for quite some time. Their feature development has been extremely slow for the past few years. If they do add it to other vehicles, best believe I’ll make it available for the bicycle! 😎
Hi, thanks for the mod. I have a problem here. The Straight Cut Gears mod feels like I’m putting on the breaks as I’m accelerating. I hear the breaks all the time as the bike speeds to top speed
Hey Jim, thank you for trying it! So with the straight cut gears, they are applying an additional 175% of the normal torque to the wheels, almost 3 times the standard amount. This is what gives the bike better acceleration to reach the top speed faster. It seems to have a side-effect of making that braking sound over and over again, but you are accelerating quicker. I can make it so my modlet removes that sound so it’s not annoying, but it wouldn’t play for braking either unfortunately.
Just wanted to update you that this has since been fixed with update v0.2!
