Bicycle disc brakes can squeak if the pads have been contaminated by oil, grease etc. When the pads wear out (or you replace them early), don’t forget to wipe down the rotors with isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits before you put the wheel back in. They may also just need re-adjusting to get the pad/rotor alignment right and stop a resonance. I’ll leave that one to a TH-cam tutorial, but basically you loosen the calliper, spin the wheel, apply that brake, and while you continue to squeeze the brake lever you tighten the calliper bolts back up.

@Armani Bishop Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
The "hands-on" modifications are easy and you did a fine job. You kinda ran through the programming of the controller without taking about anything except the brightness of the display. I hope the controller comes with decent directions and detailed explanation of the programming. The other thing you sort of glossed over was the technical details of the two controllers. Most people can match the proper battery voltages and understand that higher amps = extended range and not more top end mph. I have an AKEZ 48v dual battery(26a total) fat-tire that I'm planning on installing a 52v 24a LiPo4 as an auxiliary. Already got the anti-spark 3-way connector and module that prevents sudden discharge to the 48v batteries. At some point in the future, I may install a motor on the front too. I'll hafta keep in mind the total current draw, unless I decide to have two separate controllers and throttles. Anyway, thanks for your video.
Super* Review No, it would take me an hour and there’s no showers at work. Considering a (fast) ebike though. Most of them stop assisting at 35kph, and I’d need to go faster than that.
Love my Z1, got it on sale for $1150 with no interest installments. The mechanical disc brakes are just okay, however I do agree, they squeal loud. The sound hasn't faded either since I've had the bike for a few months now. I just bought hydraulic brakes and will be swapping those on and also removing the speed limiter on the controller so it can hit 25mph top speed.

Good question, I should've mentioned that but it hasn't happened recently. I do occasionally have issues where the throttle is unresponsive. Typically, flicking the brakes a couple of times usually fixes it, though it could be coincidence. My guess is that it's related to the brake sensors that prevent you from applying brake + throttle at the same time, since it seems to always happen after I've braked. But I've not gotten scientific about it, just a hunch.
No, I haven't tried it in the rain. Can't say I've ridden any bike in the rain, except my motorcycles, which do surprisingly well as long as I don't go over metal 🙃
Bike works fine in wet weather but like motor vehicles, you have to adjust speed accordingly for inclement weather. Changing the tires out for a set with “nubs” makes a difference in grip as well. Hope this helps. /Bklyn👑
No issues for me on that front, but I could see that as a possibility -- like most things, I think you would get used to it. I ride a motorcycle, so no thumb throttle but I'm used to holding my wrist twisted for throttle. Same difference.
Be careful , the quality of the product is just mass produced Chinese factory stuff. No brand name parts to the bike and a whole lot of problems. I had to get my backwheel and engine replaced 3 times. Not a fun process being in Australia and they are in America. Either way just be careful who u buy from there are allot of options out there. These guys are pretty expensive. Im happy to pay allot if i get good quality. These guys product is not good quality, they are good at advertising and manipulating u to think their product is great. Listen to what this guy is saying in thid vid,,, he makes a commission to each super73 u buy. Thats why he is pushing the ebike prospect. How its perfect and how he does not feel selfe conscious when he rides it,,,,, wtf talks like that ??? Fucking weirdos do !!! Do your research and look around. If u still want one , make sure u test drive it first.
The Z1 is actually the only super 73 that's worth buying. Because it's the cheapest and you can make make it better. When you buy a super 73 u are just buying a bicycle. The motors and controllers useless, the warranties are only good for two years or till they go out of business whatever comes first. Not worth the aggravation of going back and forth for 2 years, on a $3,500 paper weight.
Not gonna hit the dislike button, but don't really like this vid either. I watch you for your audio stuff reviews, so this content just ain't my thang. Maybe start a different channel for this kind of stuff?
12 min. into an 18 min. video BEFORE you mentioned charging and range, and it was done AFTER mentioning logos is kind of a pathetic IMO. Horrible review.
me : that looks so cool .
my wallet : are you sure?

And that is how you see Mark in action!!! Nice video as always. Got totally lost in your audio toys but this is nice video break from it!!
You're not really an audio TH-camr until you wear a first-person camera. Even if it's while riding an ebike in the dirt.
cool insight. really want one of these.
Nice review. You hit alot of important topics that I was concerned about.
Oh, I know that cliff, or mountain, or hill.
Well, probably just a slope. Solid video ✌
There's a famous podcaster eating monster cookies near it.
@@SuperReview can you review dap shanling q1 bro?
Oh, that looks like a ton of fun. At 6’ 5” I might have to pass though, that and my 17 mile commute.
Do you cycle 17 miles for your commute?
Super* Review No, it would take me an hour and there’s no showers at work. Considering a (fast) ebike though. Most of them stop assisting at 35kph, and I’d need to go faster than that.
I kinda want a Sur Ron.
I have to commute about 5 miles to work there and back this should be good right ? 25min bike ride on the e bike ? Is that good ?
Where was the spin?
Weird thing, I lost the footage.
It's unfortunate that such a fun bike can't brought out into this spring :(
Optato why not ?
I’m from NYC...I ride my Z1 all years.
Winterize your bike...and winterize your person.

How do you remove the speed limiter? I did some searching but couldn't find anything.

Great-looking e-bike -- motor or no motor -- it looks great. Love to ride one someday.
why holding the phone just adit a pic of the bike in the corner.
They ran out on amazon how long does it take to restock
Not sure, a lot of ebikes seem to have unpredictable stocking -- Super 73 frequently has "pre-orders" for products that have been out for a long time.
No throttle issues with the controller not responding or turning on? Only asking bc I was reading a few Z1’s seem to be having throttle issues.

Thanks for the info! Just ordered mine, let us know how yours is holding up in another 6 months.
This guy reminds me of Toby from the office.
I'm reporting you to HR.
@@SuperReview 👏 😂
disclaimer: Toby is one of my favorite characters haha. Nice review btw!
You mentioned that the wheels aren't the grippiest. Did you get a chance to see how it would do in wet weather?
No, I haven't tried it in the rain. Can't say I've ridden any bike in the rain, except my motorcycles, which do surprisingly well as long as I don't go over metal 🙃

Is it tiring for your thumb to push down on the motor control -- not sure if I'm right with my assumptions (never rode one before)?
No issues for me on that front, but I could see that as a possibility -- like most things, I think you would get used to it. I ride a motorcycle, so no thumb throttle but I'm used to holding my wrist twisted for throttle. Same difference.
Yes on long rides you do start to feel some fatigue in thumb.
/Bklyn👑
What do you think about SGI model? Do you miss suspensions on your bike?
Suspension would be nice, but I do like the simplicity of this bike. The newer Super 73s look dope, but look a bit heavy duty.
Could you do a review on the bqeyz kc2
I probably won't have time, sorry.
There are nine different logos because of how many mods that can be made! Eventually you may replace everything that has the logo!?!?
😜
Ya the seat is fine for 5-10 miles but around 20 miles a 2X4 would probably feel like an upgrade
Except for the splinters.
Woah super reviewed super
#superception
This thing is crying out for an upgrade to the battery and motor, I can see 50mph+ being ok on this
The main question is are you ok
Doin' well so far 👍 How about you?
@@SuperReview hope I'm fine
There's a better-than-good chance 👍

Maybe it wasn’t built for the outback
wait you have LEGS??
Not really, I just have a robot body I can crawl into like Krang.

Anyone got an extra $2,000 (cad) laying around? All donations appreciated.

You can just type into Google "battery range super 73" if that's all you want.
18 minutes of bla bla bla
I just re-watched the video, and counted zero mentions of "bla bla bla." Did you have another video playing in the background maybe?
