Got my S2 just before Christmas, only been out on it twice thanks to the bad weather, Christmas and current Covid restrictions where I live in the UK. Throttle will be available for Offroad/Private land use only.. but it's "coming soon" as far as Super73EU are concerned. Love riding my S2 regardless of the lack of a throttle. However I had done my homework and was aware the EU version didnt come with a throttle. Only downside I've found is the fender issues, I got covered in mud. I have managed to find a fender on Amazon that will work on the front wheel to give better protection at the back half of the front wheel.
Agreed around the throttle. I love the bike. Hope you got the app working to help with the speed too! I still need to do more fender research to find something more effective. Let me know how you get on with yours.
Great video, keep them coming. I'm in the UK thinking of buying a super73 but most of the videos are USA based owners. Still enjoy watching them, but appreciate a UK perspective. 👍
Cheers Chris. Yep - like I say in the vid... we're not in California! That being said I have no regrets at all. Another vid at 1000 miles once I start commuting again!
Hi. After seeing your initial review then your 6 week review i have just ordered an S2. Where did you get the foot pegs from? I can't wait to get out on it. Brilliant videos, thank you for helping me make my mind up. The wife isn't so impressed 😕
That's awesome! You won't regret it. (maybe I should ask Super73 for some form of commission :-)). The pegs are linked in the description below the vid. Let me know if you can't find them and I'll send you the link directly.
Had a test ride today, was impressed with the bikes build and its a smooth ride, the dealer wouldn’t let me ride it connected to the app so i couldnt experience the full force of the motor, without being connected to the app i found the bikes torque and acceleration really poor, I take it once you’re up to the highest mode this improves alot, i know that the speed definitely improves but i hope that the acceleration improves, i felt like i really had to pedal to get the bike going and I haven’t experienced it like that with the bike I currently have, the acceleration is good, just lacks the top speed, so imlooking for both, hopefully this is the new bike for me🤞🏼
Definitely much much better acceleration. It’s all relative for sure but opening up the modes makes a real big difference to me. Maybe there’s a new vid in there somewhere from your question!
im working on a fender extention for the S2 (3D printable) still testing, for the front fender, you can flip it backwards this increases its effectiveness
I've been commuting to work a few times on the bike now. 17 miles each way. I'm not been economical and some of the journey is in a higher mode (🧐) with 800W output. I only just manage to get home before I need to charge again. So 30 - 40 miles is probably where you'd average before charges. If you could get yourself a spare battery then 80 mile a day would be possible and it would be awesome I'm sure.
@@lifeunlocked7206 thank you! 35 miles per day is actually my target range, and I’m hoping to pick up a second battery before I set off next year… I know it’s not the most practical bike to take, but it sure will be the most fun!
Can't forget to mention that you can't access the mode 4 on the android app :/. Got an RX myself and although I agree 100% about how much fun it is to ride, I do find it kind of unnaceptable for such an expesinve bike to have such shitty fenders :/
I noticed the front fender (look at me using american terms lol) is just for visual since the dirt getting flicked up by the tire needs to get caught behind the forks to stop it hitting your face, not in front.
Nice vid congrats. Do you feel a difference going uphill between mode 2,3 and 4? Or it's just the top speed that's different. Of course std mode is 250W which is nothing but I wonder if other modes are like 750-1000-1500W or all a constant power.
Yes - you definitely feel the difference. More so in the acceleration you get from a standing start. You can go from zero to 20mph pretty quick for what it is.
Hi. Just watched your videos on the Super73 S2. Wondering what your thoughts are on the bike now another year later? Are you still enjoying it? I ask cos I’m seriously considering getting one (in U.K.) and can’t decide between S2 and ZX. Heavily leaning towards S2
I love the bike. I certainly don't use it any where near as much as I told myself to justify buying. Especially in the winter and the wet. But the S2 is amazing and travelling with my son around town creates memories that is more than money. The whole buying to commute to work thing didn't really happen due to covid so I've only done that a few times. But all in all it's an amazing and fun bike to have.
Great video! When they talk about 250watt power does that mean it's still the big American motor just electronically limited? Is mode 1 the only mode that complies with uk law or can you put it to 4 and be within the law as long as there's no throttle fitted?
It's a bit of a grey area. I think technically it's the top speed that's the concern (but I might be wrong). Yes - it's the same motor. With the app switched on you can set to max output (without throttle). It makes a big difference.
@@lifeunlocked7206 ah you answered the question I asked on your other video... new question, let's say you get pulled over and you're in 'US mode', how fast can you switch back to UK mode? Asking for a friend.
Hi I’ve also had the same muddy problem with my new super 73 I’ve been thinking of extending the fenders with plastic on the front and the back but I’m still not sure how do you have any ideas? Also where did you get the foot support things I don’t have those but I would love to have them.
Hi Marijn, I've seen people reverse the fender on the front but not sure how effective that is. Other than that I've not seen a solution yet. I'm sure there will be as just need a larger guard. For the foot pegs I put the link in the video description. Hope that helps. Matt.
Like the video I'm still thinking abut getting a 73 bit pricey just now also wondering if there's a dirt bike with same size wheels with mud guard like front wheel that you could modify to get your wheels coverd to stop you getting coverd in splash ?just an idea.
Ride and Glide in the UK. I love the bike but probably don't use as much as originally planned due to covid etc. I'm six foot on a warm day and it's all good. It's a low ride, not like a MTB, but more like you're sat on a chopper. Your feet will sit flat on the floor when you stop at lights and junctions. But that all adds to the appeal to me. I'm sure it will be fine for you.
I've just started commuting with the 800W mode at times... I'm getting about 40 miles out of one charge. The bike's amazing. I've still got a broken rear light that Super73 haven't replaced yet. 9 months and waiting for that one. Everything is sound though.
Depends on the mode. If it stays in mode 1 with the 250W output on the motor then it's not the worlds best. A really steep hill near me on full charge and I'm doing 8 mph up hill. If I get out of mode 1 then I can do 15mph up hill.
@@harrygreenway414 I think I'm getting the ZX or S2, because the RX is just too expensive for me, I already have a car and a motorcycle so I don't need an expensive e-bike
The horn comes with the bike already. It's a 'digital horn'... awful sound tbh and will scare anyone if you used it too close. Probably needs a muffle on it or something to lower.
@@lifeunlocked7206 I'm in the "need a horn and a bell" camp. They are each used under different circumstances. Bell is for people nearby, horn is for traffic. E-bikes get enough grief already without scaring people with the loud horn lol. The bell is whimsical, and the horn is serious. Cheers!

The only thing that is stopping me from getting one of these is the fact we live in a society in which people like to steal things.
Yep - a constant fear really. Got myself a big lock to make the opportunity negligible.
Dont just try tanto keep safe find way I been bad luck stole like 6 mountain bike and one segway but now I keep inside home and locked also
i plan to put a tile gps locater in the seat when i get mine but i agree 100%
Get a group of good lock, oxford sound locks are worth it
I bought the S2 Apollo on the back of this video, arrived yesterday absolutely buzzing 🤟🏻
Good choice! Hope you're loving it!
Un-tinted glasses, perhaps comrade? Thank you for your videos on this bike. Great info, learned everything I needed to know. All the best.

Great video, perhaps you could do a video on how you connected the app to the bike?
Really appreciate these videos as a prospective buyer

im working on a fender extention for the S2 (3D printable) still testing, for the front fender, you can flip it backwards this increases its effectiveness
en extention as in it moves the whole rear fender back to a height where it does actually catch upsplashing rain (5 to 15 cm)
Excellent - good work.
Great video, I’m thinking about picking one up, but for some longer range stuff (across Europe maybe) any thoughts on range etc?
I've been commuting to work a few times on the bike now. 17 miles each way. I'm not been economical and some of the journey is in a higher mode (🧐) with 800W output.

Thanks, you too!
Did run to the shop ordered last night. Test rode today now have up 2 10 week wait

Wasn't aware of that. What a pain. The reverse fender looks like it works. Am going to do an update video soon on this.
I noticed the front fender (look at me using american terms lol) is just for visual since the dirt getting flicked up by the tire needs to get caught behind the forks to stop it hitting your face, not in front.
Great video. Thanks! Was there a chain guard available when you ordered the bike? I've seen it in other US videos but noticed you didnt have one.
No - no chain guard by default. I've seen it on other videos too. Maybe an add on?
Nice vid congrats. Do you feel a difference going uphill between mode 2,3 and 4? Or it's just the top speed that's different. Of course std mode is 250W which is nothing but I wonder if other modes are like 750-1000-1500W or all a constant power.

I had some problems with removing my battery from the bike. There is a possibilty to move the seat. The fenders are rubbish.
TBH I struggled with the battery when I first got the bike. Took me a few goes to figure out the right amount of pressure.
Great video! When they talk about 250watt power does that mean it's still the big American motor just electronically limited? Is mode 1 the only mode that complies with uk law or can you put it to 4 and be within the law as long as there's no throttle fitted?

Yep - just done a new vid on it!

Nice bike, what is the diameter of the front wheel and how much is the diameter of the rear wheel (measurements please)
That dirt! Unbelievable failure.
If you turn the front fender around you'll be protected from the mud, they put it on the wrong way round
I did another video on that :-).
Like the video I'm still thinking abut getting a 73 bit pricey just now also wondering if there's a dirt bike with same size wheels with mud guard like front wheel that you could modify to get your wheels coverd to stop you getting coverd in splash ?just an idea.
Yeah - still looking for the right solution!
Just subbed!! 🍻
Welcome aboard!
Where did you buy the bike I have been looking at this bile for so long now, I really want one, I am 6'3" so do you think it is ok for my height.
Ride and Glide in the UK. I love the bike but probably don't use as much as originally planned due to covid etc. I'm six foot on a warm day and it's all good.

any issues with this bike? I want to order one but heard there are a lot of issues. how is the battery life?
I've just started commuting with the 800W mode at times... I'm getting about 40 miles out of one charge. The bike's amazing. I've still got a broken rear light that Super73 haven't replaced yet. 9 months and waiting for that one. Everything is sound though.
How is it, to drive uphill with that bike?
Depends on the mode. If it stays in mode 1 with the 250W output on the motor then it's not the worlds best. A really steep hill near me on full charge and I'm doing 8 mph up hill. If I get out of mode 1 then I can do 15mph up hill.
I have super 73 s2 and my apple doesn’t work how can you help me
Hi. How tall are you? The bike looks a bit small for meaningful pedaling. I'm thinking of ordering one (UK). I'm 5 11 or 179cn. What do you reckon?
I'm 186cm and test rode the S2 and RX, they are both perfect for my height, however the RX was a bit better for me.
@@voqzmk2 I've ordered the RX from EU, so fingers crossed.
@@harrygreenway414 I think I'm getting the ZX or S2, because the RX is just too expensive for me, I already have a car and a motorcycle so I don't need an expensive e-bike
@@voqzmk2 Yes, I like the look of the S2 best, but wanted rear suspension for moderate off road use. Hence the RX, which has now been shipped.
@@harrygreenway414 Well then have fun with your RX ;)
when you pedal does it charge the battery?
No it doesn't. Just triggers the motor to support the pedal effort.
@@lifeunlocked7206 tnx
Do you think a 6 foot guy could take his 5 foot gf for a ride on one of these or is it too small?
Definitely can. I'm a smidge under 6 and my wife not much shorter than me. We can both ride on it. Great fun.
How tall are you?
6 foot in 1 inch heels.
What horn did you get?
The horn comes with the bike already. It's a 'digital horn'... awful sound tbh and will scare anyone if you used it too close. Probably needs a muffle on it or something to lower.

It’s not an off-road dirtbike 🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂why would you ride it off road there’s really no reason
