Super73 RX E-Bike Review Summary

Welcome to the thrilling world of the Super73 RX, a powerful and rugged e-bike that seamlessly blends the excitement of motorcycles with the convenience of electric bicycles. Filming on a gorgeous sunny day in Denver, Colorado, the reviewer brings us to the Cherry Creek area to dive into the features and performance of the Super73 RX. This review captures the essence of the Super73 RX, highlighting its strengths and quirks in an entertaining and informative style.

First Impressions and Design

The Super73 RX is a dream come true for motorcycle enthusiasts and mini-bike fans alike. It’s packed with premium electronics and a powerful motor, making it an absolute blast to ride. The bike is designed for city commuting and adventure riding, featuring a sturdy build with a weight limit of 325 pounds. The rugged look of the bike is complemented by full suspension and multiple mounting points, allowing for various customizations, such as adding foot pegs for a passenger.

Performance and Power

Under the hood, the Super73 RX boasts an impressive motor that can be tweaked for different performance settings via a smartphone app. The base model offers a 750W motor peaking at 1200W, but in unlimited mode, it can reach up to 2000W, providing plenty of torque (around 80-100 Newton Meters) for any riding situation. The tires are designed for excellent handling and traction, with a 5-inch rear tire and a 4.5-inch front tire, mimicking the look of motorcycle tires.

Ride Experience

Although the Super73 RX is a compact mini-bike, it offers a comfortable and nimble riding experience. However, for taller riders (like the reviewer at 6’3″), pedaling can be less than ideal due to the bike’s single-speed setup and shorter crank arms. The bike’s design focuses more on throttle and pedal assist rather than traditional pedaling, making it a heavy yet sturdy option at 71 pounds (83 pounds with the battery).

Battery and Range

The bike features a high-capacity 48V, 20Ah battery, providing 960Wh of power. This translates to a range of up to 40 miles using throttle only at 20 mph, and potentially 75+ miles with pedal assist in eco mode. The battery, although heavy, is removable and interchangeable between different R-Series models.

Suspension and Braking

The suspension system on the Super73 RX is top-notch, with 120mm of travel upfront and adjustable coil suspension both front and rear. The hydraulic disc brakes from Tektro, featuring 203mm rotors in the front and 180mm in the rear, offer excellent stopping power and heat dissipation, ensuring safety during high-speed rides.

Technology and Features

The bike comes with a minimalist circular LCD display that shows speed, range, cadence, power output, and pedal assist level. The Super73 app allows for further customization, including setting the bike to different class levels (Class 1, 2, 3, or unlimited), adjusting power settings, and even using Google Maps for navigation.

Safety and Durability

Safety features include a 600-lumen headlight and a bright 5-LED tail light, although the tail light’s positioning could be improved for better visibility. The frame is made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, making it both durable and lightweight. The bike also includes bump stops to protect the suspension fork and semi-integrated cabling for a rugged look.

Conclusion

The Super73 RX is an exhilarating and robust e-bike perfect for city commuting and adventure rides. Despite some minor quirks, such as the pedaling comfort for taller riders and the weight of the charger, the bike’s overall performance, power, and design make it a standout choice in the e-bike market.
