Super73 RX Review - $3.2k
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- The RX is Super73's flagship electric minibike for 2021, available online and from a growing global network of dealers, with two eye-catching colors and a one-year comprehensive warranty. Integrated lights with brake activation, high-volume horn, and full coverage plastic fenders allow for safe and dry city commuting. Motorcycle-inspired design features an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy frame, heavy-duty spokes with extra-wide hub spacing, and a triple-clamp fork complete with bump stops. Premium full suspension from DNM provides excellent travel and full adjustment controls for preload, rebound, and compression damping. Easily exceeds 30mph thanks to a massive 960 watt-hour battery pack driving the 2000-watt peak rear hub motor, control pad is unobtrusive and intuitive to use, companion smartphone app pairs easily and offers rich information readouts and advanced settings. Defaults to Class 2 configuration for widest legal acceptance and safety on multi-use trails and bike lanes. Only available in one small size that is difficult to pedal especially for tall riders, still quite heavy at 81.7 pounds and difficult to transport up stairs or in vehicles, limited availability can mean long waits for initial orders or replacement parts, poor side visibility due to no side reflectors or light cutouts.
This in-depth review was not sponsored by Super73 or any other company, but I would like to thank eBikes USA in Denver, CO for providing access to this test bike.

![Is This Bike worth $2000? [SUPER 73 REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/J02iZ3FvRoc/mqdefault.jpg)
I’ve had my RX for a year now. I’m 6’0 and it is definitely small. Having many years of motorcycle experience, it’s a lot of fun to ride and I appreciate that it’s not hard to keep up with street traffic.
Im 6'5 do you think im too tall for the bike?
@@jacksmallone3017 if you can get taller handlebars u should be good
hey! do you know if they fixed unlimited mode for android?
Ha nice thats my neighborhood.
Be careful dude. If you crash at 60 you might break a hip
"gets the job done"
can't think of any higher praise for a $3200 bike 😂
Great thorough review. Thanks for keeping us up to date on all the exciting ebikes out there!
YES..
Like always great and honest review, nice to see this video, we need another video only throttle and battery test!!!
Tyson, thanks for a good look, I like your review style and I totally dig the bike attachment points, I don't typically get excited for this style of bike but this one looks pretty sweet! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! It was such a fun ride :D
Check out our Super73 RX review here:
ruclips.net/video/zv_cF049Uv4/видео.html
Great review! I'm looking at either an R or S2 in a few weeks and wanted to know about pedaling without assist. This video answered that! Thanks!
Right on, glad it was helpful!
Great video as always!
Scrambler looking ebikes are really the reason ebikes demands are through the roof! They are all over RUclips. I'd love a review of all of them. After this do a Onyx and a Huck review
omg people in USA love camping in tents, thats so cool
I have a S73RX. Bought it in the presale period. It’s awesome! Now after 6months everything has been fixed that came bad with it like the motor. Love riding it.
Did you have an issue where the throttle and pedal assist stopped working?
@@mrleviathan2012 no, I have had a time or two that I pushed down the throttle and it didn’t work but that is extremely rare and usually a battery reboot will fix it
I have the s1, and s2 love them both
Best review on this bike I've ever seen....
I’m glad you explained the unlimited mode I thought these bikes couldn’t get far over 20mph.
Great review, wanted to point out in pedal-assist 3 and 4 you can pedal at a pretty slow cadence and it still kicks in and will get you up to 30+ MPH while really pedalling slow. It just registers that you are pedaling and the motor will kick in.
A couple other people mentioned this to me, I'd never heard of it before but it's a neat trick!
My ebikeling kit goes 40mph in flat. The build isn’t even complicated
Wathced the whole vid the way you film is so cool man
I bet some chrome tape on the rear fender will solve your tail light issues. Pro biker here. I would also put some self stick foam wether striping around the head light and seal up any spots i could with Thin black plastic. Old plastic Oil jugs and such are free and when paired with Zip ties can add tons of free protection from the elements. Also Silicone on electrical connections and pass throughs is a major upgrade
Thanks for your review. I ordered two of these this evening. I actually watched your review after ordering but was still very informative and helpful. Thank You. If you have a tip jar or patreon I'll be visiting it.
What’s the eat. delivery? Would love to know what you think of them!
EXCELLENT CHANNEL! May I request bike trail reviews also 🙏
Nice video, the EU spec RX looks much better I find with the 10 speed and Magura breaks
What a sweet bike 🏍
Reasons I like this: I’m short. Everything with a motor feels big to me so at 5’6” this is easily to handle. It’s electric. It’s essentially an electric moped that they slapped pedals on so you can legally go on the bike paths. This is for small people who want an electric moped. Great gas saver.
I wish there was a European company that makes ebikes like super73 does, because the price of the rx in the eu shop is 4600€~5200$ which is insane
Totally worth it.
I've had my Super 73 R for 4 months now. I find it to be an ideal form of transportation - the right balance of mini bike vs bicycle. I've ridden many competitors - nothing rides like this bike.
Saying "nothing rides like this bike" tells us nothing. That can be interpreted as it rides really good or it rides like absolute anorexic ass. It sounds like you're enjoying the bike though.
$3300 for a bike that climbs that small hill at only 10mph, is too cramped to make any real power while pedaling to help with better range. Only one gear. Too small to easily stand when encountering bumpy terrain for better control. Sounds like a complete ripoff to me.
People aren’t buying these for performance. It’s a cheap form of transportation when you consider everything.
No license, paperwork, insurance etc and ability to cut through traffic, parks, etc is the appeal
well super 73 is on my to buy list
Yeah man that’s bogus. My diy bmx ebike can cling at least at a steady 20 to 25 mph
@@David_Creyke my 3000 watt eBikeling kit climbs up 20 to 25 mph without pedaling. It’s a lot cheaper in price with the battery I had purchased separately.
Badass bike!
2:14 "Five inches in the rear. Four and a half in the front." -EBR, 2021.
😂😂😂
😂😭
I JUST GOT HOLD OF ONE.
Can't wait to see the Sondors MadMods review!
its only 750 watt
@@Cutlass_Rudd and? It can hit the same top speed as the super 73 rx which has a 2000w motor
@@ecoboostedfuze It'll hit the locked speed of the RX but wont come close to an unlocked RX. Who keeps their bike restricted? Cool bike, but I'll wait until its also 2000 watts or more.
@@Cutlass_Rudd I agree that would be great with 2000w unlocked!
SUPER73-RX is much faster then any any motorcycle including 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M! Remember you what keep speed close to 20 mph! Super73 RX goes to 19.35 mph? It is perfect for the speedier inside you! Remember you get what you pay for. 48 volt battery inside not the crappy 52v 19.2A. $3500 is a steal! With the optional fenders $3700. You can go to Class 3 and go up to 31 mph and head up ride in the highway traffic!
These are an awesome choice for those who don't or can't have a driver's or motorcycle licence, also there is no registration or needed for insurance. While these electric bikes are relatively expensive for the top speed & power compared to any motorcycle with an engine
@24:18 Let's go camping LOL
Good video
Im sure with 2000watts you would be able to go up steep hills as well? Would it still be able to take a second person if within limit?
It would drain the battery much easier I assume in both cases.
The Ariel Rider Grizzly blows this outta the water. Witt that said, I'd rather get an ok bike within a week than possibly 9 freaking months which is the estimated delivery date if you order an Ariel Rider. Availability is also important.
Main reason I got it. Besides that who rides ebikes for the power, it’s really about efficiency in my eyes not power. Go buy a Honda Grom if you need speed!
In Australia they r charged us $7200 😭😂
I would really like to see you guys trying out the Ariel Rider X-class...
As would I! Nothing planned yet but I'm keeping my eye out for one.
Or a Grizzly
I just ordered the grizzly today. Super excited
Right!!! Everyone knows super 73 wack as hell😂😂😂
Hi Tyson! I live in Denver, and will be getting my Ariel xclass any day now! Would love to ride with you some day and pick your brains on ebike stuff! I’m friends with the owner of ebikes USA- Hussein! Maybe we could meet at his shop or go check out his other rides at his warehouse! What do you say?
Nice ebike ❤
INSANE PRICE
The bike is nice and I can see where it would be very useful in the city but I am an out2doors man that needs a bike that can not only be used in the electric mode for getting into the woods but also add a gas engine for longer distance and while a rear cassette for speed can be added and there is room for a gas engine I would move the horn higher on the frame and add a jackshaft for powering the sprockets and gears but I am having a hard time on where to place the gas tank as the place for normal insulation is taken up by t2he battery. I am wondering how much this bike costs though?
How much better offroad than the ZX? Same tires as ZX? Good on soft sand roads? What is the the most powerful charger you can charge at? Any way to charge the battery with a solar panel or 12v?
Sur Ron is nice too
Hey Tyson! I would love to see your take and review on the Juiced HyperScrambler 2, seems like it would be a better fit for your height, any upcoming plans to do so? enjoy watching your reviews 👍🏻
Thanks Jamie! No plans to review the HyperScrambler 2 yet... possibly later this year though, I loved the original Scrambler. Best fit for me of similar bikes has been the HyperScorpion with the tall seat add-on, that one was excellent!
@@TysonRoehrkasse I was wondering through the whole video about a comparison to the HyperScorpion. Performance seems to be very similar. So between the 2 bikes, do you feel the Juiced bike is better overall? Fits a taller person better with the high seat option? Any other big advantages. Love to hear your thoughts. Thx.
@@ScottReinhart For a taller person and commuting or utility uses, definitely the HyperScorpion. It's much more comfortable to pedal and you get a derailleur by default so you can actually pedal at high speeds (felt great at 30-35mph). You get a decent rack built in and Juiced has some awesome cargo accessories. Plus the mirrors and turn signals, and built in alarm.
For more fun, adventuring, and especially off-road riding, Super73 seems much better. Better suspension, stronger construction, lighter and more nimble, all-terrain tires.
Just my opinion, of course :) Ultimately it will come down to what you want to use it for, and I think they're both excellent bikes.
@@TysonRoehrkasse Very helpful info. Thanks for taking the time and for the service you provide our community. 👍🏼
@@TysonRoehrkasse you are one of the reasons I bought the HyperScorpion.
I’m also 6’3, so thank you for mentioning how it would feel for taller riders. I’m not sure if I want this one now but maybe changing the seat will give more comfort? I honestly don’t know...
Possibly, I'm not sure how easy it is to swap the seats on these. The Juiced HyperScorpion has a tall seat option and I felt good pedaling that!
I’m 6’2. I’ve put 1400km on mine and it’s mostly the seat that makes it feel small for taller riders. Im getting the extended seat from blur boundaries so that I can sit further back.
I want one ...
Hey
im in Colorado as well I’m buying me one!! Lets kick it ol
A group ride would be sweet!
I think the biggest issues with these bikes are it’s weight. Along with the long list of quality issues. It’s too heavy. Sure it looks nice but that’s really just it. For half the price, a turbo vado sl is a great option. It’s super light and easy to manage on mountain trails.
For mountain trails I completely agree!
In the UK they cost £4,200
Depending on when this was filmed, pretty sure I bought that exact bike
How do you now know what product you bought lol
@@Ryanpeech he means the same test bike from the same store
Thanks for clarifying lol yeah that was a dumb comment on my part. I just thought it was funny that after someone spent thousands they didn’t know the exact model they purchased. But yes, makes much more sense that he bought from the retailer and may have that exact bike from the video now in his deserving hands. Hope you guys are having a great week!
@@Neberheim very right I’m dumb lol
Wat helmet is that? Looks sick!
You can change the pas from 0-4 on the bike display after you boot the battery silly.
would love to see a Ariel Rider Grizzly review!
Left side is most likely to flip the display over. It will be upside down if you don't.
I’d rather get an Ariel rider 52v x class way cheaper and has a ton of specs, with metal gear motors👌🏽
How many km can you go with one charge?
It being a hub motor has nothing to do with it not having an aggressive start Jacky, mid drive or hubs can have an aggressive start with the right Battery, Controller, and Motor.
That bike has no new firmware update. The firmware update takes off the watts on the display.
It looks like a motor cross dirt bike. Very nice.
Only to a blind person
You should check Dutch brand pathfour, they did bikes like this but for high people, Dutch are tallest nation and for them all those moped style ebikes are to small. Many tall people do not know about this company and bit bigger bikes.
you could literally buy a motorcycle with that money
A beat to shit used one maybe.
Yes, technically you could... but so what? I understand the cost similarity, but motorcycles are very different. They require a special license that costs time and money to get, additional training, insurance, more expensive riding gear, and you can only ride it in the street. And of course, they require gas to operate, the cost of repairs and maintenance is higher... and so on.
Depending on what you want to use it for a motorcycle might make more sense. For a lot of people, an ebike is going to be way more practical, enjoyable, and affordable in the long run. And you get exercise!
@@TysonRoehrkasse i live in NH so safety equipment is optional lol, but i mean ya i have a motorized bike so i’m really not one to talk i’ve already dropped like 600 into it 😹
@@scotthansford3657 I hear ya, I have a motorcycle too and whenever I have the option that's what I ride everywhere. Expensive but totally worth it :D
@@TysonRoehrkasse such a fun hobby my friend, can’t wait to get a real bike tho so i can just ride for miles upon miles without worrying about having a screw loose or something lol!
I think the grizzly is a better deal for what you get ppl say it’s ugly but if you toss a 30 set of 9in rise bmx bars it looks super badass addding a horn is Cheaper then adding another battery and motor lmfao
Big BIG question that will determine whether I purchase one: Is your phone the only way to adjust the throttle setting? (Can I go from 2 to unlimited from the bike itself?)
I think you have to have your phone for that. From what others are saying there is a new firmware update that my bike didn't have, but I'm not sure what functionality it adds.
Simple answer is no. The bike resets to default mode 1 or 2 depending on whether EU or USA spec, each time it is turned off. You then need a phone (with Internet connection) to change to modes 2, 3 or 4. The road legal mode 1 struggles with hills, and you will need all the gears (10 speed now available). Mode3 takes hill's easily, if you want to go at speed run up necessary. Mode 4 built more for speed on the flat. All depends on your own effort.
So you need to be way shorter and have added gears to make pedaling comfortable. I see the RX model as an only option from Super73 because it has dual suspension. But is the suspension good enough?
I think the suspension is excellent! Whether it is "good enough" depends on where you will be riding... and what you're comparing it to, I suppose :)
@@TysonRoehrkasse
Well, I haven't had a bicycle in 15 years, let alone an e-bike, let alone an e-bike with suspension. I think it's going to feel fine. Thanks fo the answer.
I hope you research Ariel Rider before you go with Super 73, my research tells me it's a better choice!
@@woodsculptor675
Clearly, and many others, like juiced bikes hyperscrambler 2. Availability of super73 alternatives is a problem here in the EU. Super73 might just be overpriced junk but what the hell. You only live once.
@@woodsculptor675 Ariel rider has garbage styling. Looks like a bike for Guy Fieri.
It's the ideal children's cross country electric motorcycle. The question simply is if you want to be found on one as an adult.
Hell yeah
I’m in my 40s and love my Cafe style ebike
Front wheel burnouts at 20mph
These aren’t your “mopeds are like fat girls” that you’re thinking of Lol
What is the top speed of these bikes?
My height is 145 cm. Is it possible to adjust so i can ride ? I really like the bike ;_;
The bike isn't adjustable, but you should fit since it is pretty small :) you'd probably even be comfortable pedaling?
Children should only use ebikes under adult supervision.
Why do this in such a noisy area?
no way the Karens in my town are going to call that a bicycle..
I'd be chased out of town with pitchforks,
but.. outside of town..
not what I need NOW... but...
So many more better bikes for half the cost
When u. Pedal does it charge the battery????
Nope, no regenerative capabilities here.
Cool 😎 bike but would buy for a second ebike not first only bike depending.
Review Sondors Madmods.
Love it! I just posted up that 200 mile RX review I told you about. Feel free to check it out!
looks ok, something your uncle would ride lol
Nice bike but imagine paying for a bike half this price and get better performance..the revv 1 seems a whole lot more attractive in my opinion..
I tried to order an ebike after thinking about it over a year and fed ex could not get it delivered to my house. I tried telling them to deliver it after five when i got of work and they wouldn't do it. If you are an ebike company i would think about using a different company to ship your ebikes. They only use a call center in India as there customer service. You can not speak directly to a FedEx representative. They are terrible at getting a package delivered to there customer, beware.
hmm costs in holland 4200 the 2s is 3400 dang nabbit
Battery placement is wrong, should’ve been in the centre and lower down for an improved CG and handling.
I say the same thing every time i see this bike. Style over substance is a deal breaker for me.
We agree
@@SparkCycleworks
I understand they wanted a “fuel tank look” , and it looks ok, although I’m not sure why electric bikes should try and copy ICE motorbikes and there will big a big price to pay handling
wise with all that weight so high up.
The Fantic Issimo is a better design IMOP and is modelled by a hot Italian chick wearing thigh length kinky boots.😋
@@turbolevo8703 yea it does fit their style with the tank look. Just need to reinforce the tubes to deal with the weight. It’s been a common failure point on similar designs. We mounted our batter down low on the bandit. Helps handling, gives more freedom to mount things on the frame.
you can move the battery to the inside of the frame if you want. so that's cool as well
Did you break it?
It wasn't me!
Nice bike.... a bit much for urban riders, I think. Up the battery capacity and do away with the need to pedal.....then it probably does not legally qualify as a "bike" at that point and sales may suffer.
5k euro here now :O
Honestly speaking from looking at this video I can tell that I don’t like this bike. It’s about four or five thangs I don’t like. Starting with having to go in the app to be able to change the modes as far as the speed. I don’t like the lights or the tires. It has a really small display. And it seems to be a slow bike. The height of the bike is short also and the bike doesn’t have gears. And I don’t understand why they would have two different size tires on that bike. Sorry I’ll stick with Juiced Bikes or Ariel Rider Bikes.
As a tall rider I did like the Juiced HyperScorpion much better for fit, especially with the tall seat option and 8 speed cassette. I haven't gotten a chance to try the Ariel Rider bikes but I want to!
A couple people have told me that if you change the mode on the Super73 and then hit "Save" in the app it will stay that way even when turning the bike off and on, but I didn't get to test that. I agree it would be nice to be able to change it from the display, I prefer to leave my phone at home when I'm riding. I do like the small display though, minimalist and out of the way.. that's just a personal preference thing though :)
@@TysonRoehrkasse I just actually appreciate someone tall doing a review.
Traffic sound is so annoying!
I hear you, I picked a bad spot to film in. I was in a bit of a rush since the sun was starting to set and hoped the traffic wouldn't be too bad... now I know for next time!
Future73 bike review
i'm not gay but this guy is hot
You gay alright
Everyone I’ve seen on these looks like they’re 15 years old and pretty crazy. And they’re being sold in surf shops.
Eh…may as well buy the RCR Onyx at that price.
I hope to God I don't need a stupid App. to operated this bike !
25:44 guy on road bike goes past like he is standing still. And e-bikes get a bad rap for riding too fast on public trails
You Know ..... why not tell these electric bike creators to add a charging mechanism or something when u peddal just like those old lights you crank up to chArge and light up
Some bikes have this, they will regenerate power if you pedal past the assist level, or when coasting. In my experience it works OK but you have to put in significantly more effort. Here is one that I reviewed with the feature: electricbikereview.com/rattan/fat-bear-plus/
Too heavy to be a useful ebike. The shocks seem nice.
It’s a great bike I love mine.
Maybe you’re just not strong enough
It's more a mopped...
too much road ambiance, keep her in parks while off the bike
Nice bike if you're four foot nothing or ten years old.
Looks are sure there, but with no torque it can barley go up even small hills and a lot of maintenance issues. This bike is not work the 4k it’s going for now.
If this bike needs your smart phone to be able to change the settings, it's automatically out for me. That's ridiculous
Anyone ever tell you that you sort of look like Ashton Kutcher?
If you are a taller person, that seating position just is not nice to be in....
Style over substance all the way, not a fully functioning bike. A lot of money for a toy. Looks nice though
How is it not fully functioning?
@@savingbrandonDon't get me wrong, it's a lovely fun toy, but spending any amount of time on that saddle looks like a painful experience and pedaling it home if you ran out of juice would be hell given the weight/lack of gears..
How tall is this guy😂
