![Is This Bike worth $2000? [SUPER 73 REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/J02iZ3FvRoc/mqdefault.jpg)
Production value off the charts!! Nice video with lots of info. Thanks for your opinion and tips!!
Thanks guys! Loving all the personal electric vehicle content you're putting out. Lots of good options coming out right now! Keep up the great work!
Thinking back (I've only watched two videos by you including this one) your influence was partly why I decided to go with the Ruroc helmet, and here I am on the cliff-edge of buying a Z1 even more after watching this one. Be careful what you review, bro- I could go broke.
Hey Erik! Lol nice choice on the Ruroc. I don't think I even mentioned it in the video, but it's a great helmet and really unique. And I own a Bern, TSG Pass and a Giro. The Ruroc is kind of it's own thing which I like. The Z1 is pretty fun, I ride it every day. I think it's a solid all-purpose, ride around the neighborhood type of bike now that I've put more miles on it. It's not really the full throttle for miles and miles and miles on country roads kind of bike but for my needs it's pretty great.
I’m about to pick up one my self. Just order one this morning. I choose the pink. I have a rad mini. Love it. Looking forward for this one.
Awesome congrats! That will be a nice addition to the collection. How's the Rad Mini? I've heard good things about that bike.
The rad mini is awesome. It’s good on miles. Has front suspension. Best price for beginners.
@@unclesamsadventuresreviews6712 Nice I need to check one out then! Thanks for the info!
I like what you're doing here. I'm seriously considering an e-bike. Even as far as a Super 73 RX! You know when you start digging, then you go down the f''n rabbit hole? Well that's where I am! I feel that some of these manufacturers are keeping some facts back. Like, how long does the bike last? Is there the opportunity to get replacement batteries? That's just the start..... Do I shell out the dough for what is essentially a glammed up push bike with, let's face it, not much of a warranty, or.....just buy a road motorcycle?! Its doing my nut in!
Haha hey Rod! Yeah I totally understand the feeling. Its like how far do you want to go/spend before it ends up costing as much as a road motorcycle. It's also the fine line between an ebike and motorcycle. One thing to keep in mind is that this technology is constantly evolving so I don't think many of them have been in the wild long enough to make big claims yet. As far as parts go, there's tons of ebike companies but what Super73 has going for it is a pretty large modding community filled with all kinds of folks from casual bicyclists to experienced motorcyclists and where they all meet in the middle is this kind of ebike. This means any information on parts and upgrades (manufacturer and aftermarket) is more readily available than other companies. There's some pretty good videos on RUclips about ebikes vs cars that make some good points. I'll probably do a video like that in the future. Anyway I hope some of that was helpful. Good luck man and lemme know what you end up doing! Peace!
@@RunPlayBack yeah, totally agree. I like to get my moneys worth out of things (as I suppose we all do, or should anyway). I can see e-bikes getting really big, really soon, which will mean the current offerings will have to compare price and performance wise. If you buy a vintage motorcycle, it'll be forever a vintage motorcycle. The pros and cons, taken into consideration, seem to outweigh each other!
@@rodkirkbride2230 yes exactly! A vintage motorcycle holds value where as an ebike depreciates faster as the technology gets better. That's where I hesitate when an ebike crosses over 2k+ territory. While the specs match the pricing, it comes down to how much it will fit/improve my lifestyle and the value of the brand. That's why you see tons of Super73 knock offs but a used Super73 can be sold much easier and faster than any clone. I don't think I've made that justification (yet) which is why it was a little easier to settle on the price of the Z1.
I went ahead and ordered a blue z1. Cant wait to mob
Nice man! Enjoy! Lemme know how it goes!

RunPlayBack how much is your discount? I’m looking at the z1
ran into your channel as I've been losing sleep trying to decide modding up a z1 or pony'ing up for an S2 (and waiting) leaving it alone and calling it a day. BTW... as a RUclips myself.... awesome production man. Great delivery, no "fat" with the info, and easy to watch/listen to. Anyways... my question is how short/tall are you? I'm 5'4" with short legs and am drawn to the z1 because of that. I can DIY all of the other features that I might miss (I have a DIY ebike now, mid-drive 1000w)... but what I don't know is if I would be missing out on that front air suspension (and whether or not I'll feel that the S2 is too big with a 31" seat height and being a bit heavier). My riding would consist of 99% street/boardwalk/sidewalk riding. Oh and I weigh like 125. Appreciate the help/info.
Oh and sub'd ;)
hey man! are we the same person because I'm 5'4" as well lol. I definitely know your channel! I used to do a little FPV back in the day and watched a lot of your videos. You got some great content man, keep up the great work! So as far as the Super73, I was pretty much thinking the same thing regarding the S2. I have no doubt it's a fantastic bike based on the specs alone but I think for guys our height, the Z1 frame fits a little better. You can see a few shots where my legs easily touch the ground which is what you want for a bike that weighs this much. I do a lot of foot sweeping when I turn certain corners and I'm not sure I could do that if the seat were higher. And yeah you can easily DIY the hell out of the frame, from really extreme to somewhat plug and play. Someone on reddit actually found a controller, display and 48v pack that fits inside of the Z1 seat enclosure. With all of that you can get pretty close to S2 specs. Super73 does have that extra suspension fork that fits on the Z1 if that becomes an issue. So I've thought about all those things but honestly haven't felt the need to do any serious mods yet because it's just really a fun ride out of the box. Also I wouldn't want to change it so much that my wife doesn't feel safe with it. I'm actually seriously thinking about picking up another Z1 and modding it for my own use. There's something about DIY thats a little more fulfilling too, especially when you can do it in stages. Also the Z1 frame looks the best in my opinion. I think The S series has a more boxy look and the R series straight up looks like a dirtbike. But the Z just has these angles that make you do a double take in person. Ok I'm rambling now but I hope some of that was helpful. If you're ever around Detroit or Ann Arbor hit me up!
RunPlayBack dude you used to fly?!?!Thats awesome. And yea man, more than helpful. I agree... I think the z1 just looks better and feeling confident/comfy on the bike is more important than any feature/spec. Ok I’m sold on it, thanks man. I’ll hit you up for your referral link. And if you ever get back into FPV let me know 😉
@@ummagawdFPV Yup I used to fly but wasn't really good at it lol. I eventually shifted my focus to the DIY electric skateboard scene that was popular like around 2016/2017. I did film a few things with the Detroit Multi-Rotor team and they had some good pilots.
I am pumped about this bike and definitely considering buying one it fits my needs and wants perfectly the only thing I’m concerned about is delivery time. Did you buy this bike directly from the website or a different distributor? And how long did it take to get to you after the purchase?
Hey there! So as far as delivery time, it only took about 3 days. I ordered directly from the site.
RunPlayBack thanks sooo much definitely going to buy a Z1 soon can’t wait!!!
@@orangetm17 Sounds good, I might have some promo codes left when you're ready. Just let me know!
Man mine didn't come today. I was ready to ride this weekend. Thanks for the video in the mean time. My wife will need one next. Did you install pegs or anything for the kids to ride on the back?
Hey Michael! Congrats on the new ride, hopefully it gets to you soon! Yup I installed 8mm pegs, there's mounting holes on the frame just above the hub motor. I ordered these pegs from Amazon but any 8mm should do. Just keep in mind that you'll probably need to get shorter 8mm bolts from the hardware store. amzn.to/2AjIPoY
Love the videos. Just got an EU ZG, in the same black and teal. Just wondering do you remember if you had to mess around with break clearances, or was everything good out of the box.
@Runplayback review a Lectric XP, it's even a better bike for less money, i think that you would love it too!
Yup I was looking into it! I'll see if I can get my hands on one. The specs seem to be better. I do think the Super73 has got the better look though.
That's why I'm not getting the xp, it's kinda weird looking to me, I love the look of the z1 and s2
nice ruroc helmet, I picked up the toxin and ronin myself. I'm just waiting on my s2 but I can't wait so I might get this bike too.
Hey James! Nice! The toxin is the one that looks like Venom right? Yeah the S2 is a fantastic bike but you can still have fun with the Z1. It's a solid all purpose bike I think.
RunPlayBack yessir the toxin is the venom looking one yup. So wicked. Anyways, yah the z1 looks fast for being a “beginner” bike. I dont get why peeps hate on it.
@@jamesvegas702 I think some folks get hung up on specs. But the Z1 is no slouch, its a great ride.
Hello, what would be the cheapest mod to get more distance? Great videos btw; I'm thinking of getting into ebikes as a hobby/commuter
The cheapest mod to get more distance is basically just pedaling more than throttling. Second best way to get more distance is the Chi Battery Systems Z1 battery upgrade.
awesome bro. great to see your videos coming back. it's still an expensive piece in France. Really wondering if you have contacts that could lower the bill for me !
RideWithOKP hey man! So I checked with Super73 and unfortunately my promo codes won't work in the EU. They are working on changing that by this year. Will keep you posted. I can definitely see you enjoying these bikes! Hope you are doing well!
Very informative thx
Glad it was helpful!
What helmet are you wearing in this video? Great video!
Ruroc RG-1 DX Core
I like how it looks like a BMX bike too but wait ,do you NEED to wear a helmet on this?
(Nice video btw)
Thanks Andres! I definitely suggest wearing a helmet. I had a good friend who suffered a traumatic brain injury from a minor fall and so I'm always recommending a helmet. I even made a documentary about it called "Session Error" here: ruclips.net/video/mfPOONvdc_0/видео.html
@@RunPlayBack Oh dam , sorry ab your friend , thanks for the link tho
It's super fun since it's a little lower to the ground so u feel like ur going 70mph
Haha, exactly!
What brand is your helmet/mask?
Ruroc RG1-DX. They're currently on summer sale.
Hi. I’m thinking of getting one. How tall are you?
5'5" 130lbs. So if you're a taller rider, sitting towards the back gives your more room for your legs. I sit in the front/middle area.
This is for kids or young adults who just want to zip around. No storage.
Good point!
What was the point of the shocking OMG face in your thumbnail?
That the Super73 was worth all the hype. I was shocked.
Can stop watching your Z1 videos. Any ideas to review surf racks and baby car seats for the Z1 there’s zero online.
Hmm I haven't really seen any surf racks or baby seats for the Z1...I have an 11 year old that rides fine on the seat with rear pegs. I will show the rear basket I'm using in my next video.
Lol... girls bike... mamachita.
You should recommend stuff when you've already used it for 6 to 12 months.
Thats a good idea. I can do a follow up video in 6 months and let you know my thoughts.
How tall is your wife??
5'7"
