Well here I am about 13 months after purchasing my ZX and I'm still very happy with it but I have some words of wisdom. First of all, I'd get new grips. Super comfortable ones that disperse your weight across the whole handle, there are a lot of these out there, you can tell because they are wide at the ends. Secondly, and most importantly, get hydraulic brakes. It's just 60 for each, front and back, and it makes alllllllllllllllll the difference. They are silent and strong and give you all the confidence you need going downhill. You also need a great mirror. Metal, not plastic, and super adjustable. a helmet, a cell phone mount, and lights for front and back. Althought right now on the back I am just using a rear reflector that comes with the bike but I want a lighting system eventually. Now all this might sound like a lot but I've only spent about 700 or so over 13 months and 1300 miles and every time you add something to your ZX, it becomes more and more your own. It's totally customizable and therefore so unique with every modification. Hey it's the best thing I've ever bought. Don't forget the cell phone mount! You'll want to listen to music on this thing.
Cheers! thanks for your earlier replies to my comments below last year!
Where did you buy the hyraulic brakes? Because i dont know wich ones to get
@@marijnkellner The electric bike shop in hermosa beach knew just which ones to install that’s where I live
have had mine since june and it's the best thing I've ever bought.
Adding a headlight is easy. I use my 860 Lumen Fenix flashlight attached to the handle bars with two automotive hose clamps. I put a piece of inner tube around the handle bar under the hose clamp to protect the paint.
Nice!
Looks like my 2022 Rize Blade. Mine came with a headlight and taillight.
I recently rode, actually raced, with a ZX and I was really impressed!
It's a great bike, right??
@@YourTechReport 100% Could definitely see it in my garage 😏
Never rode the ZX but it does look pretty sharp😎🤔might have to buy one
Looks great...and rides even better--totally took me by surprise!
@@YourTechReport maybe when they come pick it up or you bring the bike back you can ask Michael why can’t a customer that spent good money buy another bike at a discount??????
Love the bike. Why does it seem like it won't be fast enough for me? Can anyone speak on that? Top speed? Any 1st hand experience? Nice vid 👍🏼
Top speed is 28 mph
Excelente canal ❤
Thank you!
Excellent review, thank you for this.
You're very welcome...glad you enjoyed it:-)
been researching forever and this is the one i fell in love with and decided on. storm grey. i'm in love. does this discount have an expiration date? is this legit?
No expiration date...it's legit:-)
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
how tall are you? are you able to straddle the seat flat footed? I'm 5'4" with a 29" inseam and I'm trying to decide between the Z1 and the ZX. I like the ZX better just from the looks and specs, but if it doesn't fit me, I'll go with the Z1. I wish I could find one on display somewhere but they're just not around here anywhere.
My wife is actually 5"4' and finds this bike very comfortable; not exactly flat-footed when straddling the bike, but comfortable. As you mentioned, in terms of features and performance, the ZX wins hands-down; but if the bike isn't a good fit physically, it won't matter. I'll have her try both back-to-back and let you know what she says:-)
...and I'm 5'8" with a 31" inseam (sorry i didn't answer that in the first response!)
@@YourTechReport thanks! Do you have a Super73 Z1 to compare it to? I'd REALLY be curious to know if a person her size would choose the Z1 or the ZX after riding both! I know the Z1 will fit me as far as frame size and seat height goes, but when I saw the video reviews, the 3 most common complaints were the hard seat hurts your butt, it struggles to go up hills, and the peddling sucks. For some of those guys in the videos, their knees rose above the handlebars while peddling, and some of them their knees were touching their chest! Then I found out later every one of those reviewers were 6 feet tall or taller! So their complaints probably don't apply to me at all. Also, the motor in those reviews was a 350 watt motor, and now the website says the Z1 has a 500 watt motor. So maybe the 500 watt motor fixed the hill climbing problem, I don't know. The ZX definitely solves all 3 of those complaints, and I'd get it in a heartbeat but that seat height being 4 inches higher is my only reservation. I need to find out if a person my size can fit on the ZX as well or at least almost as well as the Z1. If not, then I'll probably be happy just getting the Z1.
Hi. mrbubetube, I don’t have a super73 and am also looking to get one and deciding on the same models as u. I am also the same height as u and am leaning towards the ZX in this decision. I have sat and test ride both of these bikes and yeah the ZX is so much better. It’s more balanced i feel and fits me perfect, it seems very high but is shorter then expected. I think the ZX is most definitely going to be my decision because for 500$ more you get way more bang for ur buck and will fit u perfect. If u have any more questions ask me, i’ve done tons of research on both bikes.
@@jacob_pascua I'm not really big on speed. 20mph is plenty for me. most of the time I'll be under 20mph. I'm more concerned with a bike that will fit me. I've heard many complaints about the Z1 having an uncomfortable seat, uncomfortable pedaling, and difficulty climbing hills, but those complaints were all from people over 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. I can't seem to find reviews by people who are my size. Most of the time, reviewers don't reveal their height and weight and they just assume everyone is over 6 feet tall like they are. I usually have to watch like 10 of their videos before I find one where they reveal their size. I know the ZX is a better bike because all the reviews seem to agree the ZX addressed the complaints about the Z1. But they raised the seat height 4 inches so now I can't be sure if I want that bike or not. Money is not the issue. If it wasn't for that extra 4 inches of seat height, I would have ordered that bike in a heartbeat, no question. If it was only 2 inches higher, I still would have ordered it. But now I have to wait for a video review by a person my size before I order the ZX. I almost made the mistake of ordering the Juiced Scrambler until a girl my height tried to straddle that bike and showed on camera her feet were at least 3 inches off the ground because the seat height is 35 inches! She then remarked how you need to be at least 6 feet tall to comfortably straddle the Juiced Scrambler.
Which do you connect first, the charger to the battery, or the charger to the wall? The instructions are conflicting between the manual and calling the company. My first battery had a short and broke.
We do charger to wall first.
I’m so sick and tired reviewers saying that they don’t have an obligation to a company that sends them products to review. Not to mention they’re supplying them with the discount code.
Really wanted to buy one but no place to take it to for repairs in my area. Looking at the Ariel Rider X Class.
So there's a place in your area that will repair an Ariel Rider, but not a Super73? That doesn't make sense...they're both electric bikes...
@@YourTechReport I think it makes a lot of sense. Before you buy that good looking expensive ebike, make sure your local bike shop can repair it. Find an ebike company with a good Customer Service department to help in getting parts and repairs.
@@ridesharebiz5317 Sorry...that's not what I meant. I agree with what you are saying about it being a good idea to have a local bike shop for repairs; what I didn't understand was, if there's no place in your area to take a bike for repairs, why are you thinking of the Ariel Rider instead of the ZX? There's always a chance of something needing a repair regardless of the brand...and my personal experience is that Super73 customer service has been great and the bikes are really reliable--I've only had to bring one of my bikes (we have five) to my local shop for a quick tire repair..that's it:-)
I know not everyone has the same experience, and I can only speak about my personal experiences with the bikes...but I've been very happy with the brand.
@@YourTechReport it's all good. Love your channel but not everyone gets a free ebike to promote an ebike company. Actually I was trying to buy the RX model that cost over $3000.00. Super 73 told me the closest repair shop was in Toronto Canada. I'm in NYC so that relationship will not work for me. Ariel Rider cafe style look was not appealing to me or my back so I didn't buy the bike. So many ebike companies to choose from I guess a buyer would need to go to China to pick out their perfect ebike. Enjoy your ZX.
Has the battery efficiency decreased over time?
I haven’t seen a big change in battery efficiency after several years.
I had the S2 and the RX although they are very awesome looking bikes try to pedal them for a little while the worst feeling ever. Unless you’re buying them for a full power they are horrible to pedal for long distance painful back pain developed 😖
Totally feel your pain...literally!
I always try to explain to people that Super73 bikes are designed to be electric motorbikes (more like motorcycles), not e-bikes...which are meant to be used as bicycles with pedal assist. I have the S2 and RX as well...and I've found that out of all of their models, the pedal assist on the RX seems to be the best--but even then, pedaling for any extended length of time can be uncomfortable, especially since the seats are designed for cruising...not pedaling. Still, I appreciate the fact that they even have pedal assist, since it allowed me to rehab from knee replacement on my RX:-)
@@YourTechReport this new ZX looks like it’s a little taller how does it feel compared to the Super 73 RX??? Can you believe they wouldn’t give me $100 off the bike a good customer I don’t get that😖😖😖
Definitely taller than the Z1...feels slightly smaller than the RX; funny thing is, it actually feels quicker than the RX!! Probably because it's a little smaller and lighter...but MAN can it fly!
As for the discount issue, see the comment I left you below...I'm working on it:-)
@@YourTechReport What’s the top speed I should’ve paid attention in the video I don’t know if you specified the top speed
micah from electro said the ZX is more comfortable to pedal that most moped style bikes check out his review
i need the lights and want the suspension given where i am i wonder if you have to attach all of that yourself.
If you already know that you need the light and suspension, I would look at the S2; a little more expensive, but comes standard with front suspension, headlight and brake lights.
...and yes, if you add those things to the ZX, you'd have to do it yourself or take it to your local bike shop.
@@YourTechReport True, but I do also like the idea of customizing it and having a bike no one else has. And it's 800 bucks cheaper with plenty of power for what I need. thanks for the quick replies! Cheers
Can you tell me, how tall you are ? Because of the geo
5'8"
I just went to use your link, and according to Super 73 I cannot use it because I was a customer already, you think they would want repeat customers back even though I bought two bikes over $6k I spent but they won’t give me $100 off this bike 😡that tells me goodbye Super 73. Guess I will take my business elsewhere😡😡😡
Totally understand your frustration! Before you do anything, let me talk to the folks at Super73 and see if we can fix this; I agree that existing customers who have supported the company should be able to share in the discount:-)
@@YourTechReport ty, i’ll be honest I never even knew the bike existed but because of your review I was thinking about buying one this one looks pretty cool I like the simplicity of it.
Can i honestly pedal and get exericise on this thing?
Yes...but if you really want a bike to pedal and get exercise with full time, I'd get an e-bike; if you want a great electric motorbike that's a blast to ride and will occasionally use the pedal assist, I highly recommend this bike:-)
@@YourTechReport Thanks for such a fast response. I am getting this one. I can get exercise by walking or weights or swimming. This thing looks so cool and I like how everyone says it’s so comfortable and how you can lean back. Also love how customizable it is and how they supposedly have terrific customer service.
