Love the comments, guys! This was my first video and I didn't plan on doing another one, but I'll try to do more now that the feedback was encouraging. Thanks, all! 🤘
Ok, seriously dude. One of the best review videos I've seen, period. Not just for this bike, but for anything. You've got the knack. You've got a classic voice for radio that translates perfectly to UA-cam, the video quality was great, editing held my interest, I could go on. I don't care what you say, but I hit the like button AND I subscribed. MORE PLEASE.
Just starting your video and from someone who's made just a few videos in the past, one with 300k+ views, as your suspicions may have told you, you've got an excellent narrating voice! You speak very well and should consider dabbling with videos when ya can. You will easily be able to retain an audience's attention with your "talking skills". Definitely a voice for radio or video. Keep it up....now back to watching your video..
Dude you are HILARIOUS 😂. I actually live here in Austin as well and truly appreciate you making this video! Literally answered every question I was having. I’m definitely scooping this model now. Thanks!
I have the same exact bike. Looks great, I can transport it in my pickup truck, and I just use it to explore and cruise. I’ve found little parks, marinas, restaurants, and so much more while having a blast.
For someone who is not a you-tuber/reviewer, this video was amazing! Best bike review I've seen yet, and I've watched a lot of em. Great job! I feel like I know a lot about the bike already - very thorough, honest, and straight forward. You've certainly got the talent to be a you-tube reviewer if you should chose to.
Hi Daneil, thank you very much for the great feedback! I really appreciate it. Well who knows... the way the world is going now, maybe I'll have a good backup job idea. Thanks, again!
Thanks for the great and thorough review video… you also answered my questions about my local riding regulations since I’m in San Antonio lol Made my purchase right after your review!
Just pulled the trigger on the RX Mojave. Thank you for your fantastic video! Great video and sound quality, shows all the views of the bike I could dream of + your review was useful.
It is a beautiful bike to look at. But that's about it... I got rid of my super73 Rx 3 months ago wasn't what I expected after spending $4,000.. And yes I did order the Hideous Ariel . LOL! better bang for my buck. I don't care about the looks that much, even though the RX looks super awesome. Compared to my hideous Ariel Rider.. my brother got the spark Bandit . really nice bike also. I'm just wanting the bike the function and function properly. . & hopefully some good customer service whenever the trouble arises . Because they all do at some point.. Ariel Rider has been in business for a good while now.. so we'll see... That was a great review my friend. Happy riding🍻💥
My pleasure! Sometimes it's better to hear reviews from people who aren't emotionally or economically attached to what they're reviewing. This is the first review I've ever done for anything, and I probably won't do another because I'm not that into producing content, but I'm glad to hear it was at least somewhat helpful. Thanks for the kind comment!
I agree the ariel doesn’t look quite as good.... until you ride it. The grizzly is quite literally 2x the bike of that super 73. After riding each one I’m super confused why people are paying that much for the 73
It's hard to judge a bike purely by its look because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, with that said I personally the super73 looks better. However I'm curious how the suspension stacks up against a tsdz2/bafang mid drive build with real full suspension mountain bike. I like these bikes but it's hard for me to justify these prices on looks alone, my builds cost me barely over $1k total and is very off road capable. I love the look/suspension of the enduro/dh bikes. Also my experience with a lot of these e bike brands reusing the same DIY motors available to us, is that they rarely come calibrated nor tuned to pedal and throttle very well(very on/offish, lack of sensitivity/control).
Of course! I might make an updated version sometime in the coming weeks or months. Not many of my opinions have changed about the bike with my experience so far. Thanks for the comment.
Great video. I appreciate the candor. I just purchased an S2. Has the front shock but not the rear one. I put off the purchase of an e-bike because it was annoying that friends kept saying, “get one, you’ll love it.” It felt trendy and I avoided it. Well I love the bike and the fun factor is huge on this thing. I’m a child of the 70’s so the retro-ish design hooked me. Now I’m starting to customize it. Pegs, Drink holder, phone mount, milk crate on the back. My girlfriend says it looks like it’s a homeless bike now because of the crate. I told her not to be jealous. Then we both rode it tandem and she likes it now. The only thing I didn’t like on it is how the chain guard rattled. Took it off. Problem solved.
Yup! I was riding my super73 around Big Bear, California and everyone was staring asking where i bought it, how fast it goes and even were taking pictures of it when i was at the brewery. Super73 turns heads.
Yeah it definitely does that! And I get the feeling when people ask me about it that people are curious about it not because it's an e-bike, but because it's this particular e-bike (Super73).
I'm still trying to figure out whether I want the Super Mojave model, or if I want to get the P-51 from a competing company. I **will** watch **every** single video I can find until I finally make the decision. I was gonna ask about torque and going up steep hills, but you answered that question. I live in an area with a fair share of pretty steep hills, so I will take that into consideration for my future purchase. Thanks for the info, sir!
Nice - thanks man. Yeah, if you live in an area with hills, this thing is definitely not the right bike. It's a cool bike though - just a little expensive.
Awesome video! Very informative and kept my interest. I’m in the market for a fat tire ebike and have narrowed it down to a few now. One being this, another being the grizzly you mentioned, and a few more of the mountain bike type design. This video was super helpful. Hope you continue to make more videos. Thanks.
Thank you, Mike! I'm glad you found it useful. I'm definitely no expert on these things, but sometimes a review from an amateur user can give you another perspective.
Tried to buy the RX but they told me the nearest repair shop was in Toronto Canada. Just because the bike looks good it may not be the right ebike to buy. Ride safe.
Great video, very informative! Watching you ride one-handed made me very nervous though afteer having suffered a bad crash on an e-bike that resulted in 10 stiches xD The Super73 looks really sweet though!
Looks a little on the small side for you, if you're comparing the ride with a more regular bicycle set up. Maybe the use of 2 seatposts under the elongated seat which would allow for both height and angle adjustment plus some setback...... basically give riders of different dimensions options, which would be nice.
That would be cool. Yeah I think it could probably be a little bigger for me, but it's not far off. The wide angle lens kind of distorts some of the image though, which might make it look a bit smaller than it really is. Thank you!
Nice video! Question: from your experience and research, would the super 73 ZX do well on similar trails you were on such as rail trails, or would the lack of suspension cause too much grief?
Yeah I think the ZX would do just fine on light gravel type of trails with occasional bumps, but if they became too "mountain bikey" then I can see how it would be too rigid. I beat my RX up a lot on rough trails nowadays and am happy with the suspension.
Great review, but switch to a Quad Lock phone mount. Ram mounts wear out and become trash after a while. Quad Locks will last longer and be more secure.
Great review!! even more so for a 1st video, I hope more do come! It'd be great to see you do comparison videos with Super73's E-bikes (Mojave vs ? ) or any other equivalent E-bike Again great vid, clear, easy going, and in depth opinion and even appreciated the riders rights/law info etc, lastly so glad you based it off experience and not off the specs im in the market to buy something just like this but will review the hell out of it before i go all the way so thanks for covering a lot. The looks of the Mojave look great to me but also the SUPER73-R /S ADVENTURE SERIES (it appears to be the same bike/specs but would be curious if the only difference is the battery placement and the longer seat?) Cheers!
Thank you! TBH I don't know the differences - I like this bike a lot, but I really am not sure if I would spend the money on it again... it's just gotten so expensive like everything else now.
If they forbid off pavement riding, then the tires should be with less aggressive tread design. Would be quieter and possibly increase the range. Seems like the aggressive tread design practically invites/suggests off pavement use. Anyway, great review.
Been watching a lot of ebike videos and the free reign that everybodys had in those videos are amazing with the speed and little restrictions you have. Sadly yes, eventually there'll probably be more rules and we may even need to get even 20mph ebikes registered, so I really want to take advantage of it right now for commute and just cruising around.
This made my final 3- but i went with Spark Cycleworks Bandit. Ur right, the Ariel is too hideous! Lol It is more dis-assembled when shipped. More grunt, but lower top end- where i spend most of my time riding. More power on the Bandit, higher top speed, range than all the other scrambler bikes in this class. Pedal-able at 40mph with the huge crank, and has 7 speeds. Low end torque to get you up hills. Huge display and motorcycle horn. U have to throw mods at the 73 to wake it up
@Riley J. Thanks for posting this vid, getting ready to pull the trigger on one these, and wanted to see if i could get a better view of the different colors for the Mojave. Question for you, how long did it take for it to ship when you ordered it? The super73 site says a dark earth and obsidian colored Mojaves' ships within 4 to 6 weeks. lol and the Blue tang color only ships within a week ( way to loud of a color for me)..
Hey man! When I ordered mine, it also said that it would take 4-6 weeks to ship. However, I chatted them within a week, and they said that it had already shipped, so I'm not sure if I got lucky or if something else happened. They use some random logistics company, but it was overall a good experience. Once it shipped, I want to say that it was only a few days or so until they were calling to schedule a delivery.
@@YeahBubbaGaming what other ebikes were you considering? Do you have any recommendations for someone in a hilly place? I'm in the South Bay of LA and some of my neighbors have them. Thank you! Great video
@@sharingstoke if I was in a hilly place, I would probably look at some of the higher end models of the Ariel Rider class, but I would have to swallow a pretty big pill for how they look because I'm not a real big fan of their design, but I hear they have a lot of torque
What a great you tube! Great looking bike...and I think you helped me make my final choice... Can I ask how tall you are? As I worry about sizing...I am 6ft....210 lbs... I currently have a Sondors Mad Mod Srambler...new.. And plan to expand! Thanks and make another you tube!
Give it time rules will change. 30 mph is kinda fast on a bike route. Guys are starting ride these things on the road doing 50. At that point you can’t say your safer on this than a bike. If you can run 50 mph you can kill someone if you run into them.
11:28 "B: Can not attain a speed of more than 20mph without the application of human power" he says, going 30 without pedaling. The rules are already there, they just aren't enforced. Personally I couldn't care less where you ride it, but in off road mode it is most certainly not 'completely legal'.
@@Chris-du7hi You caught me 😂 lock me up! Yeah, you can change the mode easily with the push of a button. Probably something cities will start considering.
good job on the video Riley. Have an Aventon Sinch which I really like, but been thinking about purchasing a non-foldable bike as well (my sinch currently down awaiting replacement male contact terminal... as the battery must have arced, burning both!) The 73 is a cool bike but I'm not sure about a non-adjusting seat.
Im agree w you ,this bike its beautiful it looks amazing specially the other model whit the 73 numbers at the sides ,the FOX ONE,,,LOVE IT,,if this bike would have the specs of the grizzly im talking about the power would be the best bike of the entire world,,,
I had a similar situation on my Ducati with footrests for my son. I ended up buying an inexpensive set of framesliders for around $40. The only disadvantage is they wouldn't fold up. There are lots of "highway peg accessories" aftermarket for motorcycles that may be better quality and not leave you broke.
Thanks so much for the tip! I'll check some of those out━with the tapers on the bars in some spots it would mount on, it's kind of difficult to make sure I'd order the right sizing but I'll give it a shot.
I don't know but upgrading those bikes in one moment and point let you to fill like you receive brand new bike every time you mod it, I do not have super73, I have Dutch brand Phatfour but for me adding something to my bike stretch happiness like forever.
So cool - have fun, Charlie! When I got mine I didn't charge it all the way first like they said for first use because I was too excited. So far the battery has still been fine, but I probably would have done that looking back.
The lectric Super73 ebike i'm planning to get in the future since i already have the lectric 2.0 and i'm already loving it but as that i think the Super73 is way better then the lectric 2.0 and i'm planning to make the Super73 to be my personal car instead if i don't want to waste money for gas all time if i'm going to make small trips around my area.
Honestly, if I didn't buy this to get to work occasionally, I probably wouldn't have done it. Everybody's situation is different and I probably didn't need to spend the money on THIS particular bike (which is pretty expensive IMO), but it still saved me from having to get a second car.
Hi, I have a super73 RX, I often ride with my son on his Ariel Grizzley. Long rides on the Super can be a bit uncomfortable, but it is a fun and nice looking ebike. Though it can't outride the Grizzley. That ebike is fast, he left me in the dust...lol.
hey, nice informative video! you have a clear voice and speech for this kind of thing..if that isn't weird to say lol. i personally think the Ariel Rider Grizzly looks cool, but to each their own. this looks alright too. but anything higher end like these (anything costing more than $600) is astoundingly expensive for me so i doubt I'll ever get to ride them. maybe that's good to not be able to go fast enough for road cycling because people drive like idiots and never even watch for motorcycles, let alone bicycles on streets. though where i live a lot of the sidewalks are in pieces so it might wreck an ebike and my body so might have to keep to the sides of roads anyway.
Thank you for the kind comment! And yes, to each their own. I know these bikes aren't cheap, and I probably wouldn't have bought one had it not served the purpose to get me to work occasionally. And I hear you on the sidewalks━a lot of the sidewalks for my common routes are also shattered, so I just go slower on those when I feel comfortable choosing them over the bike lane. Well thanks again for the comment!
I think you'd be fine on packed sand but might struggle a bit on loose sand if there were any real incline, just from not having enough torque. But I'd do it! :)
"ugly as sin" 🤣 I chose the AR X52 yes it is not the best looking..the super 73 takes the cake all day in the looks department. but when it comes to specs..AR takes it. what sold me was its ability to take hills. I heard the S73's struggle. not sure about this specific model..but I'm going by the S73's in the $2.2k-$2.8k range..as of this comment the AR X52 is $2.4k.
@@manasseh7 I haven’t found a hill I haven’t been able to go up but I have no problem with hill on a Norma bike either. I can go up a 10-20 degree slope at almost 15-20mph with this bike
I am thinking about adding the 10 speed cassete.... Have a few hills in my area... Does anyone have any good comments on doing this? I have heard mixed reviews... The Super 73 RD Mojave looks badass... Sur Ron is another....
@@YeahBubbaGaming Hi Riley J., Yeah I'm going to wait until after I received and build my super73 Rx Mohave! Yes I have ordered it! Hopefully I will receive it by the end of June. Any tips that you have will be helpful... thanks again on this!
I have the Grizzly and the 73 RX. Hands down the grizzly is way more fun to Ride. The ability to just climb any hill and just to have that available speed when you need it is priceless. Now don’t get me wrong he’s right about it being an ugly bike. The super 73 is definitely the bike I take to the areas that I wanna cruise and be seen but when it’s time for fun it’s the grizzly for me.
13:00 talking about regs when you dangerously swerve in lanes around blind corners... could be kids or adults going just as fast in their own lanes and you hit them head on. No shi we need regulations cause people like you.
I’m actually deciding between the ariel rider x class and super73 s2. Although the super73 looks better everybody says the ariel is better quality and more bang for your buck.
I hear you! I can't speak for the quality differences because I've never been up close to Ariel Rider. I didn't like the way they look so I didn't give them a shot, but yeah, on paper they're definitely more attractive power specs. I guess it just depends on what matters most to you, which is probably different depending on the person.
yea I chose the AR over the S73 simply because what you get for the price is unbeatable. the only thing the S73 has going for it is its looks otherwise the AR definitely is the choice.

Thank you SO much! I'll consider it a backup gig with the way the economy is going :)
The torque, speed, and performance on the Grizzly with the Super73 RX model would be a game changer!

Yeah I think the ZX would do just fine on light gravel type of trails with occasional bumps, but if they became too "mountain bikey" then I can see how it would be too rigid. I beat my RX up a lot on rough trails nowadays and am happy with the suspension.
Awesome review!
Thank you!!
Thank you for your great review that made me buy one too.
There is not much content to find of the Mojave.
Please more stuff of your 73 rx
Thank you! I might do an update on it soon - I just passed 1000 miles.
Got me interested... from Custom Harleys to electric beaters. Who knew.
Ha! Oh man... I'm jealous. I'm open to a trade 😂
For the capabilities I went with the Grizzly and I have been having a blast, but I agree the Super 73 looks a lot better.
Yeah there are times I definitely want the Grizzly for the power no doubt. Thank you!
Great review, but switch to a Quad Lock phone mount. Ram mounts wear out and become trash after a while. Quad Locks will last longer and be more secure.
Yeah I might look into that - the Ram mount is holding up fine except for the rubber pads that go on the metal posts.
Heads up a good idea is to invest more in spare parts for this bike, just in case for the future because they always finishing the stocks
Thank Sir,
Your are the man!
You're very welcome!
Great review!! even more so for a 1st video, I hope more do come!
It'd be great to see you do comparison videos with Super73's E-bikes (Mojave vs ? ) or any other equivalent E-bike
Again great vid, clear, easy going, and in depth opinion and even appreciated the riders rights/law info etc, lastly so glad you based it off experience and not off the specs
im in the market to buy something just like this but will review the hell out of it before i go all the way so thanks for covering a lot.
The looks of the Mojave look great to me but also the SUPER73-R /S ADVENTURE SERIES (it appears to be the same bike/specs but would be curious if the only difference is the battery placement and the longer seat?)
Cheers!
Thank you! TBH I don't know the differences - I like this bike a lot, but I really am not sure if I would spend the money on it again... it's just gotten so expensive like everything else now.
If they forbid off pavement riding, then the tires should be with less aggressive tread design. Would be quieter and possibly increase the range. Seems like the aggressive tread design practically invites/suggests off pavement use. Anyway, great review.
For sure - yeah, it's very misleading. Thank you!!
Been watching a lot of ebike videos and the free reign that everybodys had in those videos are amazing with the speed and little restrictions you have. Sadly yes, eventually there'll probably be more rules and we may even need to get even 20mph ebikes registered, so I really want to take advantage of it right now for commute and just cruising around.
For sure - yeah, that's a good point.
Ty! Dope! love the all black! ❤️🔥
Yes sir!
This made my final 3- but i went with Spark Cycleworks Bandit.
Ur right, the Ariel is too hideous! Lol
It is more dis-assembled when shipped. More grunt, but lower top end- where i spend most of my time riding.
More power on the Bandit, higher top speed, range than all the other scrambler bikes in this class. Pedal-able at 40mph with the huge crank, and has 7 speeds. Low end torque to get you up hills. Huge display and motorcycle horn.
U have to throw mods at the 73 to wake it up
Awesome - never heard about it, will check it out.
should rather performance
Great review, really enjoyed it, good work..!
Thank you!!
@Riley J. Thanks for posting this vid, getting ready to pull the trigger on one these, and wanted to see if i could get a better view of the different colors for the Mojave. Question for you, how long did it take for it to ship when you ordered it? The super73 site says a dark earth and obsidian colored Mojaves' ships within 4 to 6 weeks. lol and the Blue tang color only ships within a week ( way to loud of a color for me)..
Hey man! When I ordered mine, it also said that it would take 4-6 weeks to ship. However, I chatted them within a week, and they said that it had already shipped, so I'm not sure if I got lucky or if something else happened. They use some random logistics company, but it was overall a good experience. Once it shipped, I want to say that it was only a few days or so until they were calling to schedule a delivery.
Thank you, I made up my mind after this video. Also getting RX Mojave in obsidian
Awesome! It's a great color for the bike.
outstanding, authentic review. many thanks
Thanks for watching!
When I saw the bike from Daniel labelle's video, that bike is the thing I only wanted now ,but it cost too much.
Yeah, for sure - it's not an easy decision for most people, and it wasn't for me either.
@@YeahBubbaGaming what other ebikes were you considering? Do you have any recommendations for someone in a hilly place? I'm in the South Bay of LA and some of my neighbors have them. Thank you! Great video
@@sharingstoke if I was in a hilly place, I would probably look at some of the higher end models of the Ariel Rider class, but I would have to swallow a pretty big pill for how they look because I'm not a real big fan of their design, but I hear they have a lot of torque
That was a fun review, thanks!
Thank you!
What a great you tube!
Great looking bike...and I think you helped me make my final
choice...
Can I ask how tall you are?
As I worry about sizing...I am 6ft....210 lbs...
I currently have a Sondors Mad Mod Srambler...new..
And plan to expand!
Thanks and make another you tube!
Thank you! 5'11" - it's just fine :)
I live in Hutto! We should meet up for a ride sometime. I got my RX in March.
For sure! That's awesome.
Give it time rules will change. 30 mph is kinda fast on a bike route. Guys are starting ride these things on the road doing 50. At that point you can’t say your safer on this than a bike. If you can run 50 mph you can kill someone if you run into them.
Definitely - I imagine any kind of bike at any speed can be dangerous, but 30 MPH is plenty for me.
11:28 "B: Can not attain a speed of more than 20mph without the application of human power" he says, going 30 without pedaling. The rules are already there, they just aren't enforced.
Personally I couldn't care less where you ride it, but in off road mode it is most certainly not 'completely legal'.
@@Chris-du7hi You caught me 😂 lock me up! Yeah, you can change the mode easily with the push of a button. Probably something cities will start considering.
good job on the video Riley. Have an Aventon Sinch which I really like, but been thinking about purchasing a non-foldable bike as well (my sinch currently down awaiting replacement male contact terminal... as the battery must have arced, burning both!) The 73 is a cool bike but I'm not sure about a non-adjusting seat.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I can see what you mean by not having an adjusting seat. Like a lot of things on this RX, it's form over function.
Couldn’t have agreed with you more on the comments about the aerial rider, it’s looks like a 4k clown bike
Haha that's a good way to put it
Bro those clowns are miles ahead of you with all the extra power they got
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching!
Prepared to sell a kidney for this bike😢 looks amazing
Definitely! Not cheap, that's for sure. 🤘
Riley Riley Riley the people have spoken i read the comments they want more myself also GREAT JOB👍✌
Thank you, Amy!
Im agree w you ,this bike its beautiful it looks amazing specially the other model whit the 73 numbers at the sides ,the FOX ONE,,,LOVE IT,,if this bike would have the specs of the grizzly im talking about the power would be the best bike of the entire world,,,
I agree, 100%. Thanks for the comment!
I had a similar situation on my Ducati with footrests for my son. I ended up buying an inexpensive set of framesliders for around $40. The only disadvantage is they wouldn't fold up. There are lots of "highway peg accessories" aftermarket for motorcycles that may be better quality and not leave you broke.
Thanks so much for the tip! I'll check some of those out━with the tapers on the bars in some spots it would mount on, it's kind of difficult to make sure I'd order the right sizing but I'll give it a shot.
I don't know but upgrading those bikes in one moment and point let you to fill like you receive brand new bike every time you mod it, I do not have super73, I have Dutch brand Phatfour but for me adding something to my bike stretch happiness like forever.
Thank you for the comment, Damian! Yes, absolutely - whatever makes you happy 😁
Great video man. I can relate a lot to you. Well done
Thank you, kind sir! 🤘
dude mine arrives on thursday i cant wait im in scotland
So cool - have fun, Charlie! When I got mine I didn't charge it all the way first like they said for first use because I was too excited. So far the battery has still been fine, but I probably would have done that looking back.
The lectric Super73 ebike i'm planning to get in the future since i already have the lectric 2.0 and i'm already loving it but as that i think the Super73 is way better then the lectric 2.0 and i'm planning to make the Super73 to be my personal car instead if i don't want to waste money for gas all time if i'm going to make small trips around my area.
Honestly, if I didn't buy this to get to work occasionally, I probably wouldn't have done it. Everybody's situation is different and I probably didn't need to spend the money on THIS particular bike (which is pretty expensive IMO), but it still saved me from having to get a second car.
Hi, I have a super73 RX, I often ride with my son on his Ariel Grizzley. Long rides on the Super can be a bit uncomfortable, but it is a fun and nice looking ebike. Though it can't outride the Grizzley. That ebike is fast, he left me in the dust...lol.
@@windy3156 thanks for sharing! That's cool that you and your son ride together like that. Hoping to do that some day with my sons.
love the grizzly tires on that bike !
Likewise! They're one of my favorite parts, for sure.
hey, nice informative video! you have a clear voice and speech for this kind of thing..if that isn't weird to say lol. i personally think the Ariel Rider Grizzly looks cool, but to each their own. this looks alright too. but anything higher end like these (anything costing more than $600) is astoundingly expensive for me so i doubt I'll ever get to ride them. maybe that's good to not be able to go fast enough for road cycling because people drive like idiots and never even watch for motorcycles, let alone bicycles on streets. though where i live a lot of the sidewalks are in pieces so it might wreck an ebike and my body so might have to keep to the sides of roads anyway.
Thank you for the kind comment! And yes, to each their own. I know these bikes aren't cheap, and I probably wouldn't have bought one had it not served the purpose to get me to work occasionally. And I hear you on the sidewalks━a lot of the sidewalks for my common routes are also shattered, so I just go slower on those when I feel comfortable choosing them over the bike lane. Well thanks again for the comment!
Awesome video. Thank you for the review. Can this bike ride on the beach?
I think you'd be fine on packed sand but might struggle a bit on loose sand if there were any real incline, just from not having enough torque. But I'd do it! :)
I know that you said it has low torque but can you ride wheelies on the pedal assist mode? Thanks for the awesome review, good job!
I'd be impressed if anybody could, but I'd love to see that! Perhaps if they have some thunder thighs :)
I love my ebike, I only use my truck to buy groceries & launching my boat
Me too! It's so fun - I still look for excuses to go ride it.
FreeGo DK200, 48v. 1200w. 20 amp $1399.00, I bought two
Thanks for the tip!
"ugly as sin" 🤣
I chose the AR X52 yes it is not the best looking..the super 73 takes the cake all day in the looks department. but when it comes to specs..AR takes it. what sold me was its ability to take hills. I heard the S73's struggle. not sure about this specific model..but I'm going by the S73's in the $2.2k-$2.8k range..as of this comment the AR X52 is $2.4k.
Yea the super 73 was comparable to my $940 lectric xp as far as power and hill climbing ability. The AR is a much much better bike for the money
@@OleSevers how is the lectric up hills? And top speed ?
I hear you! For sure - there's no comparison on the specs. I wanted to the like the AR, but just couldn't get over the aesthetic.
@@manasseh7 I haven’t found a hill I haven’t been able to go up but I have no problem with hill on a Norma bike either. I can go up a 10-20 degree slope at almost 15-20mph with this bike
Great review. I wish the website accepted paypal, lol.
lol 😆
Great review! Looks like you got a nice frolfer down the street from you
For sure, there is! Thank you!!
I am thinking about adding the 10 speed cassete....
Have a few hills in my area...
Does anyone have any good comments on doing this?
I have heard mixed reviews...
The Super 73 RD Mojave looks badass...
Sur Ron is another....
I haven't been on one with the 10 speed on it, but I could see how that could be useful for sure (at least at the higher speeds)
@@YeahBubbaGaming
Hi Riley J.,
Yeah I'm going to wait until after I received and build my super73 Rx Mohave! Yes I have ordered it! Hopefully I will receive it by the end of June. Any tips that you have will be helpful... thanks again on this!
I have the Grizzly and the 73 RX. Hands down the grizzly is way more fun to Ride. The ability to just climb any hill and just to have that available speed when you need it is priceless. Now don’t get me wrong he’s right about it being an ugly bike. The super 73 is definitely the bike I take to the areas that I wanna cruise and be seen but when it’s time for fun it’s the grizzly for me.
For sure - I believe it. I just couldn't get over the design, but beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder :)
@@YeahBubbaGaming yes the super 73 is definitely a sexy bike and just a all around well built quality bike..
13:00 talking about regs when you dangerously swerve in lanes around blind corners... could be kids or adults going just as fast in their own lanes and you hit them head on. No shi we need regulations cause people like you.
yk he can see if theres a biker or not right?
Ride fast, doggie! Neither of those lanes were oncoming, amigo - both go the same direction (there's a slow lane and a fast lane).
i kinda feel like the tires are over kill but i really want the suspension and everything else this bike offers.
Yeah, they might be. I ride it mostly on uneven pavement/sidewalks, and I run the tires a few PSI short of full pressure for a smoother ride.
I’m actually deciding between the ariel rider x class and super73 s2. Although the super73 looks better everybody says the ariel is better quality and more bang for your buck.
I hear you! I can't speak for the quality differences because I've never been up close to Ariel Rider. I didn't like the way they look so I didn't give them a shot, but yeah, on paper they're definitely more attractive power specs. I guess it just depends on what matters most to you, which is probably different depending on the person.
yea I chose the AR over the S73 simply because what you get for the price is unbeatable. the only thing the S73 has going for it is its looks otherwise the AR definitely is the choice.
@@manasseh7 super 73 also doesn’t have the best support. Literally you can not go off-road with any of their bikes or it voids the warranty. Not good!
Loved this video
Hey there - thank you so much! Glad you liked it.
