Pointless Toy or the Future? | Super 73 RX E-Bike | Brutally Honest Review

- As far as looks and performance go, the Super 73 RX E-Bike kills it. However, finding a practical reason to actually own one is its biggest issue. There are plenty of ways to have fun for much less money and fewer puncture repairs. I'd rather drop a toaster in the bathtub with me than push this bike back home again.

Hey there you Handsome individual!
Check out my latest review here: ua-cam.com/video/QoqSGS6QyXU/v-deo.html
Love the video and thank you for the review!
"They stop your advances faster than when she mentions she's 17" 😂
Pure comedy 😂😂😂
17 is legal here...😂
10 is legal here 😎
Refreshing honesty in the review. Definitely lets you know what your getting into
Great to see another review from you man. Your old videos were a big influence on the bikes I've owned, and It's awesome to see you keep going.
Keep it up
Thanks brotha! Appreciate the comment
Hilarious commentary. I just bought a costco special (Jupiter not the bolt) and a lot of these are popping up. I love seeing the humor in the reviews.
Thank you!
I've had mine for 2 years and don't regret it. Just gotta know how to ride it. It's awesome in snow, drifts like a dream.
Your jokes are hilarious 😂 especially when you said the thing about the vaper . Had me rolling 😂
Man it's good to see you again, thanks for the review
Thank you!
The RX does look good if they get the performance to match it will be the 🐐.
It's a cool ebike. Slap another battery pack under it and you're zipping around town like a madman. Can't wait for your next review.
Thanks man!
Is there anyway for it to be deresticted
@@Internettoughguy547 Yes, if you rip out the controller and replace it, the hub motor and battery. So no, there's not actually LOL.
@@ebRyder😂😂😂
If the price is out of your budget, amazon has 1500 watt ebikes with a similar style for just under 8 bills shipped. I've had mine for a year, and no issues. But they do use generic components and there's no real customer support, so i'd pay a little more for a third party warranty. But if you can afford the 73, i'm sure its worth it.
Good review. Had it suggested on my feed. I spent too much on a Bafang bbshd kit and odds and ends, but I used a good looking donor gravel bike with flat bars (Poseidon Redwood) and did a really good job with the install/cable management and I'm happy. The Redwood was my first new bike in 10 years and I had it a year before I installed the kit, kit was $1500, bike $900.
The Super 73's and Grizley's are nice, just like the Sur Ron's and EMTB's, but it is possible to build a cool ebike and minimize the battery and cabling and end up with something that you really enjoy the asthetic of. We just need better Super 73 and mtb/ gravel frame only options that allow for solid battery/motor/controller/wire management so you can have a bike with better specs for half the price. Oh and battery packs that the customer can disassemble that have an inner framework for the batteries that allow you to easily swap out all 18650 batteries with new ones for a 1/4 of the price of a new battery pack.
k weirdo
As I am watching you ride around I recognized you are in my town and I too can be seen riding such a vehicle in said location.
I've owned my Super 73 RX since October 2021, and I love it! I love it so much that I just got alot of upgrades done to it, and got those cool fancy off-road tires! I dumped another 4k into my bike making it worth around 8k. I love my super73 alot!! Best bike on the market for me! I live in Florida so, I don't have mountains to traverse, so it makes it easy to get up and go! I live in Interlachen on a patch of dirt roads, so yeah.... I am always off-roading and having fun
Key phase “a lot of upgrades” to others let’s pay attention here
@@obeii1805Not necessarily a bad thing. People w Surrons still like to upgrade things. Some people just like to go faster than they already can go or like to smooth out the ride even more than it already is. ‘A lot of upgrades’ isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
What kinda upgrades? Looking into this bike or the p-51. But they need a little help in the performance department.
I have ro upgrade my kdx constantly with huge amounts of gas thats not cheap or hospital bill upgrades if it lands on me.@@Dineskii
Hey man thanks for the real and honest review.
great review, love the humor
Thank you!
Thanks buddy! 🤟🏽💯⚡️
good review & so glad I happened upon your vid review as I was considering the RX until you mentioned needing "momentum". that's important ...as the town I live has the word Hill in it's name and there's a few that get me a huffing to the top, and necessary to downshift dam near to 1st gear. desire the "cool guy" style, which is the look of my Sinch.
This guy makes amazing videos
I was looking at your video and like gosh… that overpass looks familiar… hmmm the homes… haha i rode my bike down that route 🤣🤣
dude you made me laugh. Love the review. Subscribed.
My Dude 🔥🔥🔥
Great video next one you should review try a Stromer st3 pinion smart shift or an st5 with abs yes the price is a lot higher or you can try what I got an ST1 you have to pedal it does 28 mph continuous I think you will really enjoy that bike I love my Stromer and it's been an awesome bike!
Great video ❤
You can turn on the light by long pressing the up button on the tiny screen
I like the grom review!
God damn right 🤣
I subscribed just to hear your jokes. You are funny man. If this bike review gig doesn't work out you could do stand up. Hey, even if it does work out, you could do stand up! 🤣
Siick buddy I love my surron :)
Dude your 1 liners are great in this video.
Nice job. Can you do a review on the Juice's scrambler
I’d be interested to see how it stacks up against the UBCO
Great video my friend.
Thank you!
Tannus armour fixed my puncture problems. I pretend I've grown up; I didn't actually do it. Super73 will put a smile on your face. Can't ride a motorcycle on the sidewalks and bike paths. No license plates, cycle endorsement or insurance required. No real maintenance, no noise or stinking gasoline either. Plus enjoying the sights at a leisurely pace without impacting negatively on others is half the fun.
Totally agree. Motorcycles are awesome but the fun factor of the S73 RX is so hard to beat
The Spark CycleWorks Bandit is the bike to get and you can even add on a second battery for longer range. Super 73's are all hype without any substance and I enjoy flying past them while riding on my Bandit with dual batteries every time.
That thing looks like a bike for old people tho. So theres that. Sometimes a bit of stylish spice goes a long way.
Nah the Super73 looks way more badass and is super fun to ride! The Spark Bandit has more of the geriatric style.
@@JCizzleSoCal I ride with a group of guys that own the Super 73 RX stock and yes they do look better than the Bandit but they can't keep up with me. The Super 73's have no torque or power, it's terrible to pedal, you can forget about going up a hill without pedal assist and the range is definitely not there. And let me not talk about the motor issues 3 of these guys are having with their Super 73 RX. Some of these guys do like their Super 73's though but all of them don't like having to spend extra thousands of dollars on them if they wish to gain any more power.
Grizzly still better n cheaper
Only need those tyres if it can do way more than 30mph or if it has loads of torque!~
The Torque issue, BTW, is probably down to choosing a cheap or efficient motor.
I love my one! Greetz from Germany❤
Now that there is Jolta Volcon Brat, what do you think. I’d really like to see you compare them
I feel like if you lose your license or don't want to pay for insurance or gas or stickers every year it's the next best thing. My car took a knee and I was humbled into using the local bus system till I couldn't do it anymore. It was definitely a step up. I feel like if you can get. Valid license and maybe offord an 50-200$ In gas/insurance or even financing the extra cost as a price of security in case it's stolen or wrecked might be worth it. If that the case I'd say go for a mini moto. If learning gears and stuff seems too hard. Definitely pick up the r or rx. Iv had the r for a year and I'm thinking of getting my m1/m2 permit and picking up a Honda Navi, Grom or z125. Haven't quite gotten there yet but I'm almost at that point.
LoL. I should have proof-read. Eh 🤷♂️
try the juiced rip racer i feel its amazing for the price.. also the luna eclipse tho i never tried this one it seems promising tho
You are damn funny my friend, bravo 👏👏
Great video! Thanks - But it's just under £5,000 in the UK and limited to 15.5 mph!
its only makes sense to me if this bike runs at 30mph
Yep but just get the EU app and unlock it (can also add throttle if wanted), Then you can put it on mode 4 and peddle effortlessly whilst keeping under the 16mph limit on main and busy roads. It's the best feeling in the world peddling at 30mph (sometimes throttling) when nobody is around on the streets or over huge open fields - its just sooo worth it! The light peddling whilst going 16mph alone is so effortless it makes it fun. You get up to 16mph so fast lol. If you can afford it, I would get it and then get the offroad kit :) . Been stopped by police once in 2 years and he was just taken away by the fact it looks too much like a motorcycle (ive customized my bike to look more like a sports cafe racer with the RX seat) - I wear a helmet and keep to the limit in most areas - so wasn't doing anything illegal by eye lol. You can then point to the EPAC license on the bike fram, ensuring the 250w cap and limit regulation. Just advise people to be curteous and vigilant, dont be fools who give E bikes a bad name (like E scooters) and ruins it for those who just want to enjoy themselves whilst being mindful of others.
UK is like a Brave New World.
I can’t drive an was thinking about getting one thanks for the review
Yeah I was also thinking this! Who wants to pay for gas worry about parking insurance blah blah blah just let me ride with no license and sacrifice a little speed 😂
Looks like a fun toy! Missed you're reviews man. You in Redlands now?
Thank you! Yeah man moved out here 2 years ago
@@Hammymoto Cool. We're gonna have to get you out in the dirt with us! Promise there will be no semi trucks!
Looks very nice but for that price tag, they better give me way more torque
Super73 said they updated the software do it woke have more power of the line. Have you updated this bike?
These things are hot garbage…. But goddamn they absolutely nailed the look, style, and marketing of it all.
Your analogy to loading 🤣, really one gear would solve the torque issue.
The app is how u go full juice hit vehicle and drag to level 4 then boom full torque
Choose the Mojave over the standard RX every time. I also enjoy the fact I can ride to the mall in the next town over and back without a recharge. I don't have the money for insurance, nor do I have a license since I live pretty close to a city area. I can ride from the dirt roads around my house out to the road without issue. I choose this ebike over the city bus that smells like hobo urine every day of the week. I agree that the peddle feature is super pointless. I will never peddle again. lol
Why do you prefer the Mojave over the RX? Is there any other difference than the tires that come with it?
hate to admit it...i'm shallow as well. LOVE my RX Mojave and could not in anyway stoop down to an Ariel.
*Exceeded my expectations, fast,sturdy, dependable, **Latest.Bike** . Great for city commute, Bike speaks for itself!!!Adam in customer service is great.*
feels weird seeing u ride right passed my grandparents house
Im debating whether to get the RX or the R brooklyn. Do you know if there are any differences between the two besides the light? i just like the look of the brooklyn more lol
Get the Rx
Great review I have a mountain goat coming in a few weeks similar bike for $1899 Christmas preorder price 60 volt 25 amp battery and 2000 watt nominal 2600 peak motor from Goat e-bikes
What brand is the motor of this bike ??? If is bafang definitely no good had bad experience with bafang with thoes plastic gears inside motor
I bought mine mostly for its looks and full suspension... my neighbor calls it my Hardly Davidson... obviously this video was made before the torque update... while killing about 20% of my max range... it does actually accelerate up most hills in Vancouver now... The main thing you didnt really cover is yeah, it costs about as much as a used street bike... BUT no gas, no insurance, no license required, it is small enough to park in my apartment, and it does look bad ass(cant be mentioned enough) especially after the mods I have done...
Then you try the talaria and surron road legal version for the same price... Night n day difference😊
Came for the review, subscribed for the one-liners.
Keep it up. That’s what she said.
Mate, are you originally from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder ? I can hear good ‘old mate’ Aussie twang coming from ya’ pipes with a little yankee doodle in there. You been over there long? BTW… Great review, that bike looks FULLY Hectic !!!! (There’s a little Western Sydney slang for ya’ straight from down town Parra)
The vape enthusiasts comment 😂😂😂😂 1:41
You can turn off and on the headlight without the phone app
please share a link for the helmet you are wearing
Did you install mr. Tuffy’s anti puncture liners ? I always throw liners in every Ebike I get and helps you go way farther without risks of flats
I did get some liners after the nail puncture. Have had no issue since
@@Hammymoto
That’s awesome to hear 👍🏻👍🏻
On the EU models - you get 10 gears, but the throttle is gone, because it's made illegal.
I just saw a commercial and the footnote said the bike could be damaged from riding it like they did in the commercial. what's the point of the commercial if its not showing real world use cases
These are down to 2k on sale at Best Buy right now. Definitely worth it at that price right?
yup for that price it should come with a standard 1500 watt motor and a rear rack. oh you voided the warranty taking if off the pavement fyi. you also said 2000 watts. that's peak if they are telling the truth its not constant.
So. What I get out of this video is buy the arieal rider Grizzly. 😊🎉
Things cool but definitely lacking the performance to be ideal for anything outside of a level trail cruiser
You are funny as hell keep the reviews coming. Not buying an S73......C3STROM ASTRO DELUXE for me.
Alright. Now do the Ride1Up Revv-1, same tires, same single gear, full suspension all the good copy cat stuff.
I can tell you're CT native by your discourse lol
Review of Lyric Cycles Graffiti please!
MORE FUN THAN MY HAND GRENADE
WHAT??????????????
When size 54 cm will be available?
Funny as fuck, smart and informative. Many thanks
Future. Because I bought an off brand ebike from Amazon for $1200 and its just as good. I use it all the time. My truck has not moved from parking spot since I assembled my ebike. I use it for recreational. Work. Grocery shopping. Shopping. Fast food pickup. Everything! Here endeth the lesson. Oh and I'm buying super 73 by October
I think so too
In France it's 4600 € which is totally other price for what you have ! You can buy a sur-ron for that price !
I have the same exact one and loving it but mine only reaches top speed of 20 mph on either pedal or throttle 😢 Is there a way to increase the top speed of 28+ speed??
In the app you can change it to "off road mode" and then it will go 30mph
Check out the Motor Goat V3. 🤔
Looks very similar to the Super73.
Should've bought a Samebike Pilot SR!
the only reason i purchased the bike was because of its modification options, its customizable i can install other battiries on it or tires unlike other class 3 e-bikes they are hard to modify or costumize.
man's got analogies for days
What's wrong with blue jeans and new balance shoes?!
Ebikes are absolutely the future, however I typically tend to steer people away from super73. Good looking bikes but for the price you can get bikes with 2x the performance
True, it is very good at what it was built for though. If it was more powerful I would be able to look past the majority of its short comings
All about looks
@@reeseprince8 literally I got it for the looks I was fixated cause all the other better ones within the same price range looked whack
@@Enrique-peralta same
@@Hammymoto it’s got the looks and that’s about it. It has a great suspension and brake system, however it’s just underpowered for as much as they’re asking compared to what’s in the market. If you’re into modding you might be able to make the ultimate ebike that’s legal-ish and somewhat more future proof
HEY BROTHER... can you compare this RX to the new R Adventure Series (that has 8 pedal gears on it) thanks man. Erik “Mr Awesome” Swanson
That looks like a 250w motor, which would explain the torque...
What i noticed with these type bikes is that when you wannna selll it its gonna be lower than waht you paid for i got my bike for 900 with only 180 miles on it
What's mad is that I can keep up with these on my cheap ass Engwe M20. And considering how much these cost for that extra cash I would spend on this bike with few upgrades on my bike I could make mine look better, ride better, and absolutely smoke them. Do I need to ? No! Do I want to? Kinda... Sick of people calling every moped style bike a S73 knock-off.
Btw if you're sick of punctures do yourself a favour and invest in Shinko 241 or 244 tyres. Thank me later!
It’s on clearance for 600 bucks -$2500 at my local best buy
Too bad u got that and not the R Adventure ?
A bike flat tire will really ruin your day haha. I took my new super73 to my hometown for 4th of july weekend and my very first ride of the day I got a nail puncture....
Damn man I feel your pain!
Gear bag with, spare tubes, tools, and SLIME, for quick repairs.
Considering my bike the talaria XXX was the same price as this bike, pretty odd
Epic jokes in this review lol 😂
So, let me get this straight, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. It sounds like what you're saying is that you paid more for an inferior ebike, because you wanted to look cool? Isn't that like drinking "smartwater" because you think it will make you look smart?
My man!
My woman!
what the hell is a 960w battery.
Battery's mounted too high, should be on down tube.
That's hilarious! "I way as much as a lady boy from Thailand".
What about people that can lift more than a 150?
So what is it.. ????! just Hype, just as I thought.
