Look Out Super73; Here Comes the Aspadz Cavet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- The Cavet from A-Spadz is an electric bike with a motorcycle identity crisis. Easily compares with the Super73, Juiced Scrambler, UNI-MK, Ariel Rider D-Class, AddMotoR M-60 and all the moped ebikes, or electric minibikes.

Sweet bike! An absolute steal at $1499 but lots of competition in the $2000 range. Still love some of the things that are clearly a bit more thought out. Nice video too!
Thanks!
dude your videos just keep getting better and better 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks!
Ace of Spades...Mikey saw The Young Ones!
SuperB！ In this video, I saw that the bike looks very nice. The many improvements and enhancements in experience and hardware make me want to change my current bike and look forward to his on-board lighting system and shock absorber suspension. Thanks for showing me this new product :p
Ah yes, I'm sure it is completely new
Sweet Pickle ! a big chain ring option would be great too .
That would be cool. Any chainring swap would have more usable cranks. I think I'd have to search high and low to find a 125 crank.
Looks cool
Would love to see a tall man frame! Great work brother this is exciting
Thanks
The juice has a seat extender to deal with the low seat for their version.
Interesting... Do you think it would work here?
I always wondered why bikes don't come with intergraded locks like the bikes in the Netherlands. They won't stop theft on its own but are useful for quick lock ups. Adding to that tho I'd love to see intergraded gps too.
I've heard them called 'dutch locks'. I'm not sure why they're not more popular here. I didn't mention this in the video, but Aspadz said they were working on lock for the bike that works through an app. We'll see how that goes.
Its a beauty... Good to see you Mike..
Thanks
They disappeared
just bought one, no regerts.
Can I just buy the front light kit with indicators??
I doubt the light factory sells them in low quantities.
They need a much more comfy seat..like Ariel D class.
I'm hoping to try one of those soon. The seat looks thicker indeed
Also how is the torque when riding?
The torque is about average. It doesn't stand out: good or bad
Very tempting except I like pedaling.
In your opinion with pedal assist 2-5 is the bike in any way comfortable to pedal? Also since you have one in hand is it possible to add gears to this bike?
I'll get back to you on that
Yes please, this has me on the fence
I asked A-spadz, this is their reply:
Not recommended. The reason we don't use speed set is because the RC (distance between bb to freewheel) is very long for this kind of minibike, when you use throttle driving at high speed, the chain will shake to scratch painting and make noise, sometimes the chain can lose tense as well
I'm going to try and put one on myself anyway. I think it will be fine. It's going to take me awhile to get to that though: now is a busy time of year for me
If it's one speed and no rear suspension, why is there a derailleur installed?
It's a tensioner. Without it, getting the wheel on and off a single speed takes one extra step.
give it a 7 speed casset please.
You have your own youtube channel now? Congrats! Bike seems to be underpowered if you live in a place with hills.
I would love to review it and compare it to areil bike x class but can't afford it hard to buy a bike with no reputation and one that has a long history .but it doesn't mean it's bad just unknown .and sending bikes back is a huge hassle for me .I like to ride them for a couple thousand miles after all if it's not durable who needs it?? Thanks for the review it looks like a cool bike
I understand your concern, it's tough to throw money into an unknown product you can't see or touch.
It makes no difference to me weather you buy one or not, but for what it's worth; I'm completely confident the main parts of the Aspadz would last about 10,000 miles with appropriate maintenance. My one concern is the seat, that might need to be replaced from a lot of wear, considering the riders' weight is always on it. The seat is peculiar too, bike stores won't have a replacement. But, it's a simple part to ship, so maybe Aspadz would send one after the bike gets healthy use. I dunno...
I just ordered a super 73 for my channel 🤔 but this looks awesome, might have to get one, when is it coming????
Their campaign is launching any day now.
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles I understand that but when do you think I’ll actually have the bike in my hands if I place my order ?
Not sure.
July
What’s the NM on the motor? And the controller?
70nm
compares with the D class ? last time I looked the D class has 2 motors
Yeah, this is not in the same league as the D Class.
Two motors isn't enough of a difference for me to refrain from comparing them.
D-class is dope, don't get me wrong. But it's not in it's own "class" 🤣🤣
Sick bike but it’s gonna be hard to surpass Super73’s momentum right now
I don't think they're trying to beat super 73, per say. That would be a big hill to climb
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles The hill is not that big. The 73 design is not that hard to beat. Their ZX price is not that hard to beat. A similar simple/retro design with suspension priced at 2k has it beat.
I agree, the product isn't hard to beat. The marketing and fan base is a much bigger part of the brand value
Thicker seat, smaller price tag.
No rear suspension like the Ariel Rider X-Class?
Or 7 gears for pedaling like the X-Class.
It's not a tit for tat
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles Just comparing features and price point. More for your buck with AR.
Ariel rider is great. Nothing wrong with that.
there's plenty of space for lots of offerings
That’s what I’m thinking too. Seems like you’re getting a lot more with the 52v x class. It’s lighter, full suspension, faster acceleration and higher top speed.
Sweet looking bike. Site still says coming soon so really waiting for some comparisons and reviews. Super 73 looks cool but over priced and out performed by like ariel rider even though ariel rider doesn't have the styling as cool. I like the look of the FLX bandit but again no real reviews.
Make them available in uk, with throttle, thanks:))))
Have you ridden a throttle bike?
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles once a couple years ago before they even came to be s big thing yes
Someone told me the old folks in Germany ride on electric scooters with a throttle and compliance pedals, and the enforcement just looks the other way.
Anything like that in the UK?
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles police here will kick u off the bike if it has a throttle doesnt matter if ur 12 or 99 they are dicks, but people still have them anyway
great content..sub'd
Thanks
Is this a Chinese made product?
Almost all bicycles are made in China.
if only this one could hold 400lbs so me and my significant other could ride it together.... :( but nope. Looks like all moped cant handle that amount of weight :(
Spokes are the first thing to go.
You might do better with a solid wheel bike (sometimes called mag wheels, magnesium wheels). Those wheels can hold more weight.
Also, you might want to consider upgrading the brakes to accommodate the extra weight.
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles sounds good my friend and thanks for the fast replay. you got a new subcriber.
What state is it legally an electric bicycle (ebike)? It has a throttle and top speed of 28 mph. Clearly not a class 1, 2 or 3. Legally it's an ORV. Not legal on road or path in any state in the US or anywhere in Canada.
Class 3 bikes go up to 28, and a throttle
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles class 3 bikes aren't allowed throttle in any way. I've worked for years getting ebike access to trails and cycling infrastructure and these style of ebikes are the biggest hurdle in getting acceptance. Land managers, regulators, legislators and law enforcement go to RUclips and forums to learn about ebikes too.
Our small group has had several successes in a couple of states, but these mini bikes and mopeds are the biggest problem in gaining acceptance. The videos hurt the most. We can't fight the regulations and our own side at the same time.

Class 1 electric bicycle: A bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour.
Class 2 electric bicycle:
A bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle, and that is not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour.
Class 3 electric bicycle: A bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 28 miles per hour and is equipped with a speedometer.

I know sellers will say a 20 mph throttle is legal on Class 3, but it is not. Mikey, I've been watching your videos for as long as Blue Monkey has existed, in both iterations. I watched your contributions on EBR and interacted with you in the past. These bikes are not legal on any cycling infrastructure or trails, other than motor vehicle trails and private land. They hurt the cause and so do videos that show on road use.
Respectfully,
JR
Thanks for your support. While I've got you; what's your organization, and where can I find some materials on the wide spread laws? Sometime is like to tackle the whole issue in a video essay. I know a lot of states copy/pasted california's class system. Personally, I don't like the class system...
I talked with a guy who helped write the Utah a couple years ago. He told me throttle to 28 was still fine.
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles We are just a group of ebike riders working on opening up public lands in PA and MD. Speaking of bill writers, I publically debated the unelected writer of the PA state law of 2014 that legalized ebikes for road use. He had grave warnings about trail use. He was against us. We won that fight.
When one talks to legislators and land managers they will tell you class 3 has never allowed throttles. Class 1 and 3 are almost identical in the way they are written; the only difference is top speed and 3 is required to have a speedometer. If 3 allowed throttle than why not 1? No state I'm aware of allows a throttle on class 3. People for Bikes (and BPSA), along with BRAIN make it clear throttles are only allowed on class 2.
There's little that I like about the Class Laws. PFB and BPSA gave us this law and put a lot of money into lobbying for it. When we asked for assistance from PFB for off road paths and trail use, they told us they didn't have the resources for that. They only lobby for the Class Law and road use.
Land managers and the park's law enforcement are comprising lists of brands and styles of ebikes that are likely illegal. It's a database that will likely be available to all law enforcement one day. Enforcement has started sporadically across the country. Its ramping up.
The biggest reason I dislike the 3 Class Law is it allows targeted regulations. It makes it easy to outlaw throttles and many older riders feel they need a throttle. The other thing I don't like is it divides us. Pedelecs vs throttles.
The most difficult question I've gotten is how to tell the difference between a legal ebike and an illegal ebike. Some think the easiest thing to do is just ban them all. And when they bring up all the RUclips videos featuring fast ebikes, I have a hard time explaining.
@@HD-J.R. If you'd like, I can highlight this issue in a manner that's beneficial to the community. you can message me here:

That riding position and seat looks uncomfortable AF.
It's pretty comfortable to sit on. It's not very good at pedaling.
That bike is taking e hormones and is a transbike going from bicycle to moped it's pronouns are cool and badass
It can park in bicycle parking, and motorcycle parking
I wish somebody would just sell the frame all these bikes are like 1k overpriced
Why do you think that is?
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles I know realistically they need a profit margin and to recoup investments. The ebike market is full of to many Diy people that know realistically that bike is going to be under powered for the cost. It looks good and has quality parts but majority of the buyers will end up dumping 1k in add ons into it trying get a 40-50mph at least 30mile commuter. Now for the first intro to ebiking $1500 is good for this but spec wise this is a pieced together $800 bike max.
A lot of folks in the diy/hotrod crowd seek 30+ mph. A lot of folks transfer over after their first store bought eBike too.
Personally, I'm not too fond of fast eBikes. I built a conversion that did 50mph on the flat, and I wound up not liking that feeling. The system could have done more, but that was a scary thought. I'm all for it on a motorcycle platform, but the existing bicycle components, design and biome simply don't support that kind of use. The brakes are designed for a lighter weight, and lower speed application, the bicycle design is overtly top-heavy, and no one in their car can reasonably expect the guy in the bike lane to out run them. The risk is very high. Conversions have their pro/cons but, in my opinion, daily driving speeds over ~30-35 should be discouraged in a commuting setting.
Just to cover my bases: I use the word "discouraged", not "forbidden". I believe the right of the people to ride eBikes should not be infringed.
It looks cheap
