Please do this at your own risk! Opening the seat voids the warranty.
We do the speed hack/mod to my cousin's Super73 Z1. Same process for the v2!

Just tried this today and I should have done it sooner. I didn't think that 6 mph would be that big of a difference but I'm really impressed.
Yes , small numbers but HUGE difference. Enjoy!
Well done guys! 👌
For anyone copying what is done in this video we would suggest disconnecting the battery first and covering the cut ends of the white wire with tape or rubber sleeve just to make sure nothing shorts out.
This video will help a lot of Z1 owners - Great work! 🚀
Thanks! yes definitely. to bo honedt we had one too many drinks when we made the video lol. definitely wished we didn't get lazy and just did it lol. I didn't tape off my bike and 3 months in and still running strong
It was lovely watching you all working together as a team and the close up stuff was like Z1 open heart surgery going on - You made it interesting & fun to watch!
Best wishes from us all in the UK! 🤟
Quick question...Any idea where I can get S73 decals? Are they available?
Heck if you up to it, strip the ends and add connectors to it for when you resell 👀
@@super73uk Do you know if this can be done on a UK spec ZG ? Seems easy enough to do!
If you cut the purple one it would go for 40 mph
Thanks! It not only increases top speed but power in general. Woo hoo!
Yes, feels like a different bike!
Nice! It's like Mission Impossible trying to find the right wire to cut lol. How did you do the custom seat on your bike. Looks good man!
thanks man! we actually found someone on Offer Up to do it locally (California )
@@therandomvlogs Do you know the name of the person on Offerup that did your seat?
This with a 20Ah or 30Ah battery could really add some fun to the Z1.
Perfect video! Thanks for sharing. Feels so much faster!
Thank you! It completely changes the bike imo
Works perfect! I did this with my pink Z and now I call it Pink Lightning!
nice!
wow so fast ! good thing u have a snowboard helmet
Haha better than no helmet
@@therandomvlogs yeah for such a high speed better be safe than sorry !
Thanks for this video! I'm going to try this hack tomorrow. I appreciate the help.
no problem! hope everything runs smoothly. It so worth it!
@@therandomvlogs Worked for me. Easy enough to do. I wasn't fully charged but got up to 23mph.
Shawn Shawn Shawn nice! Do you have the v2 or v3? It will say on your Owner Manual aside from the visuals
So I am actually having an issue, the bike no longer moves, the lights turn on and I made sure I cut the right wire like four rims (checked not cut). I called a couple of bike places and they said most e bikes have a failsafe but my issue is that no one is having this problem. On top of the I got a ride in before I stoped and it wouldn’t go again.
Have you tried to re-solder the wire you originally cut? That should undo anything you had done. Also, double check to make sure no other connections became loose
Unreal, i was about to buy the rx, granted it has full suspension, but i like the look of the Z1 better, and i save 2k, 👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely transforms the bike from it’s original 20mph!
Great video... I'm going to be doing this to my UK spec ZG on youtube soon! This video is really gonna help!
Thanks! Unfortunately it won’t work on a ZG. Someone on FB tried it and was unsuccessful
@@therandomvlogs oh what ... Oh no!
Thanks! I just did this. My top speed is 25 but I feel a little lag while riding
yeah some people feel there is lag. We've compared it side by side with a stock z1 and didnt notice a lag when comparing, but some reason sometimes it feels like a delay (when not comparing)
@@therandomvlogs I just started to pedal more lately to help with the delay. But overall it’s a good upgrade for $0. 😂
Thanks for this video. My wife wants to do this too
Thanks! It's such an easy mod that changes the bike!
Just did this hack and definitely works. I have the V2 apparently, I bought it used. Do you know what the extra cable is for? It comes out of the same grommet the throttle cable goes in. I didnt see it on V3 in the video.
Hello! We don’t know what that extra cable is for... was on the Facebook groups and I believe one person tested it and it was basically a dead cable. Maybe it was just there with the v2 controller for something they didn’t add?
@@therandomvlogs Darn, I was hoping it was a hook up for a speedo or something.. I'm in LA. Hope to see you on a ride..
I just got my z1 a few weeks ago. My wheels don't have the cutouts... Does this mean I have a v2?
Yes, that's what I have too. It says what version you have on the top right corner of the owners manual front cover page. The front fork also says Super 73 (under handle bars in the front) as opposed to just the Logo on the v3
The Random Vlogs thank you
Are the motors the same on V2? I just bought an Z1 today and had a choice between with or with out the cut outs in the wheel.
Great video. What bar end mirrors is that?
Thank you. It's a Hafny mirror. Here's a link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVHQB22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hi! Just got my z1 two weeks ago. I got used to the speed now and I want to go faster. Should I just do the speed hack or change the controller?
The 48v conversion takes some work, but it’s so worth it. It completely changes the bike. The speed hack is another easy method to change the bike. Just depends on how much you want to change up the internals. The speed hack is quick and easy. Congrats on the bike!!
Hello, thank for this video. I am not sure that you have this answer, but i have a super73 ZG EU model. And I do not have power on button, I need pedal assist. I wanted to know if you know how I can remove this in order have power without pedal assist ?
Thanks for watching. Sorry, I do not have knowledge on that. Are you on Facebook? They have a #SUPERSQUAD and “Super73 custom mods and builds”. A lot of knowledgeable people on there
Hi Guys! Any issues thus far with the speed hack? (hope not) Looking to do it soon! Sick helmet too bro!
have had my hack since april, no issues so far. same goes for my brother's and dad's bike. my two cousin's have the hack. but only have had it since the date of this video
With the Z1 having more torque power for speed, does that shorten the range even more?
Yes it does, if you drive it over 20 mph more often
I did scan the comments.. but did not see similar question.
Uk owner. Would this be the same for a zg? Just curious
No, sorry. It is a different controller for the ZG. Someone had tried a similar method on a ZG and it was unsuccessful
Dope video. I’m following Brian D Howard’s speed hack for Super73 (three stripes, V1)...following your advice. I ordered a second battery (36v / 20ah for $346) that I am going to hack as well for longer rides, dual battery 🔋 🔋 .
Question though: what app are you using on your phone to track your speed and mileage; seems like a good app.
THANKS.
//Bklyn👑
Thank you!
I use Ride to track my rides. Very simplistic. apps.apple.com/us/app/ride-track-your-esk8-rides/id1271234198
And for the speed i use Speedometer apps.apple.com/us/app/speedometer-55-gps-speed-hud/id557871911
Just purchased the Speedometer Pro version...thanks! Freddy, my Super73, thanks you too.😏
//Bklyn👑
27.5mph💪🏽....verifiable.
//Bklyn👑
nice!
37.5% increase.
Does this work for the first batch of Z1 I got it when they just came out idk if there different?
It does not, but search “Brian D Howard Super 73”. He has the speed hack for the earlier model Super73 Z1 (see link below)
ua-cam.com/video/04-p1ekQJjM/v-deo.html
The Random Vlogs if you have v1 Super73... watch Brian D. Howard’s video. He goes step by step..,no way you can mess up. My top speed went from 20mph to roughly 25 mph.
/Bklyn👑
What LED head light is that on the front bud? Also, did you get the mud guards/flaps from Super 73?
All my accessories are listed here.. ua-cam.com/video/24WEz570uFg/v-deo.html
The light is from Amazon. There's 2 lights i have. Check the description to see which one you are referring to :)
Hi there.
Can i use this hack also for the european ZG??
Hi. There is no known working version of this for the ZG.
What kind of range are u getting with this hack 15 to 20 miles still
Depends how much your push it over 20mph. My average was 13-15 miles since I didn’t top out too much
Can you please tell me when versions 2 and 3 were released? Also, Is there a way to cosmetically tell the difference?
Sorry, not sure on the release. My bike V2 was purchased in April. My cousin had purchased his in May and received a v3. It says on the manual front cover, top corner what version it is. Cosmetically, the v2 rims do not have any cutout holes. the v2 also has a different seat logo. V2 seat has the ///SUPER73 and the v3 just says SUPER73. Also, the v2 rear brakes are the left handle bar, v3 is right side bars. the v3 has the lightning bolt style S73 logo on the bike, the v2 does not have that logo anywhere
@@therandomvlogs Ya, I was pretty sure I had a V2. Don't have a manual to reference because I'm not the original owner. Got my manual from the interwebs......
tried this method on my orange v3 and now its bricked... Damn I voided my warranty for this. Super pissed and bummed!
Are there any other specific things to look for to know you have a V3?
The user manual it came with on the front cover page at the top right. Also the rims have cutouts like the S and R models
The Random Vlogs awesome Thank yall so much ill give this a go later this weekend!!
How do you know if you have a v1-v3? Just curious...
it will say on your manual front cover page on the top right. the V1 has a different looking controller
"aaaaaaaah the WRONG wires(s)!!!!"
haha
What app do you guys use to get your top speed?
It’s called “Speedometer” on iOS. The icon is a green “55”
The Random Vlogs
Cool. Thanks!
You can hack most ebikes all I had to do was cut one little white wire coming out of my controller to get my bike faster.
Yes it’s possible, but definitely different wires depending on the controller/bike. You can even cut a limiter on a Power Wheels!
So more speed is good ,I'd imagine your range drops ...
Correct. The faster you ride, the more battery you eat up because you’re using more power
Will this work for the EU Version? Is it the same controller?
I heard this specific metif does not work on the EU Version. I believe it’s a different controller on the US version
@@therandomvlogs so lets buy a us version controller 8)
Does it effect the range
Yes, higher speeds always impact range. If you throttle it >20mph for most of the ride, it will use up more energy/battery
How many miles will it using this hack
@@judyzardavets7253 hard to answer.. It really just depends how you use the bike. If you do this hack and do not use it over 25mph, you will not affect the range. I think someone used mostly throttle on this and estimated 10-12 miles going mostly over 25mph most of the ride. Think of it as a car... the faster you drive, the more gas you use
Ok thx so much
Do you still get good mileage?
8-10 miles but it all depends on your ride style. More throttle = less range
Has anybody else tried this hack ?
I personally know 6 people that have the hack, aside form myself.
The Random Vlogs I’m going to give it a try , great camera work and thanks for the close up not many folks on here do that clearly.
You're welcome. I wanted to make this video mainly because, like you said, nobody really has it out there for the v2 and v3 Z1. A lot of people have done it, but nobody posts the 'how to'. Just be sure when you put everything back together that no wires get pinched or bent.
