      doesn't urs come with twist throttle? i thought Super73's do come with that depending on the model of course. Sucks here in EU countries in general (i live in Denmark) were limited to 250w motor with a top speed of 15.5mph / 25 km/h 😔 therefore we don't have many options of e-bikes to choose from. The one I have is HIMO C30R MAX E-Bike, i wish we had more options, top speed and motor like u guys. Hopefully i can come to the states some day and buy one and ship it back to Denmark or maybe live there eventually do an exchange course as part of my school for the sake of having a more versatile e-bike.

    This has a lot going for it but for me to buy, it needs improvements:
    Higher top speed, wheelie acceleration like a Sur Ron, turn signals, bigger battery. I’m still waiting for that perfect blend of a Sur Ron and e mountain bike, but it appears manufacturers are getting closer.

I live in a small city in California that happens to have a bike trail, and am pretty attached to the black one. I’m 5’7”. So as far as hight is concerned this cafe racer/crotch rocket style should fit me perfectly, and I can’t wait to get my own. Thank you for your review. It helped immensely.

      In California, anything with a battery >750w can no longer be classified as an e-bike, and then requires registration, etc. then there is no advantage to the numerous bike lanes and you’re back in traffic.
      With this, I could swap between bike or vehicle lanes depending on the street.

    With a few changes it could be a full on electric cafe racer, maybe a slightly bigger motor, remove the chain and pedals, use a bigger battery and that would be all.
    I saw a homemade electric bike a year or so ago, based on an ICE frame but the entire front end of the frame where the engine was was cut and a huge battery structure was made, also a hub motor, and it looked pretty good, the rider had a mix of a cafe racer with chopper stance.

    I road this today, not sure why you’re saying the Suspension is good. The rear shock is stiff as can be and it does make that boing noise going over bumps. The bike looks great, besides that it’s another china replica. Top speed was 29 mph for me weighing at 160 lbs. $1500 and this would be OK however at 2700 which they started at us a stretch. Even at 2k right now it’s still overpriced for what you are getting. The rev1 is by far superior by this for $2295.

The volcon brat is the one I’m getting but I know with how far we go the battery might run out and I’d have to pedal. I only have owned 7 speed bikes and not sure how a single speed e-bike would handle

    -Triple tree + dual rear suspension
    -#10 spokes or mag rims
    - 7 speed shimano

    48V battery is a deal-breaker. No excuse at this point to not have a 52V battery. And then obviously 750 instead of a 1000W motor is double-nope. You can get a 2022 Ariel Rider X-Class 52V battery w/1000W motor right now for under $2k, so getting this bike is dumb.
