The Super 73 RX is one hell of an electric bike. It checks off so many boxes for what makes a great ebike in 2020. Great range, suspension, removable battery, comfortable seat, the list goes on. Really cool to be reviewing this 3 years after I reviewed the original.

Oofff 80lbs! I'm in a 5 story walkup. I have the rose ave edition, but I need to eat a handful of senzu beans after I carrie that thing up 5 flights of stairs.
This is one of my favorite comments ever.
mind blown that people carry this up 5 flights
*Works great my **Latest.Bike** I have a bad knee so I still get exercise but the bike assists me. I am a big guy so I didn’t think it would go as fast but it works great.*
Stoked to see this review from an OG! Thx for the support.
Thanks for your review! Caused me to order TWO of them! I tried to get the discount but it didn't work. I've emailed Super 73 and let them know your video was part of the reason for my purchases.
I’m a kid and I have no money for this and I’m planning to get one over the summer. I love this channel cause you get to unowned what your buying before you buy and you get an inside look to every thing. 10/10 would recommend
If you are a child, then you should just cycle, with your own strength. And not through a motorcycle. You're not retired.
Eyyy great review bro! My RX arrives today after months of waiting! 🤘 Hyped!!
comment after you ride!
Wow, ordered my R since August. Super63 just keeps postponing the ship dates, so curious to k ow how long you waited
@@tinongnjong1305 I ordered my grey RX at the end of August, finally got the first ride in yesterday and it is so much fun! It weighs so much and as a fixed gear I struggled to pedal with no assist, but those pedal assist modes come in clutch! Now to get some accessories like a mirror!
Were u riding in jersey last week?
So worth the wait
I'm here after Cody Ko mentioned this bike in his podcast, I now understand the hype !
My RX arrived on time after 8 weeks pre order. 1 month in and 600km later - absolutely love it. Strange compression noise from the motor which im currently finding out and problem solving with the customer service team but aside from that very happy..doesnt effect my riding but is a bit noisey at times up hills at 40kmph!
It’s a nice bike! I feel like it’s not the “best bike” though. There are a lot more options now than there used to be. No hate. We as consumers are getting lucky though with a lot more options from Monday motorbikes, Ariel Rider, and Sondors. (Edit: also adding the Sur Ron and Onyx RCR. Haha thanks to the posters that called me out for forgetting them)
have you ridden an RX? Which of those 3 should I check out?
Also check out the Huck Cycles bike, looks promising.
@@samsheffer Super 73's are iconic, haven't got the opportunity to ride the new RX series though, so my opinion may not be the most informed. I feel that Super 73 was a bit ahead of the curve in styling and performance, kind of like (even though I hate to use this comparison) "the Apple" of the E-bike world. Competitors are starting to catch up a bit though. The price to range/speed always gave me pause on the Super 73, I bought an Ariel Rider X-class (albeit with a 750w motor and not 2000w) but can get up to 34 MPH in like 5-7 seconds, front and rear suspension, and have range of 25-35 miles depending on PAS. And, I got it for roughly $1,400. Super 73 is more polished and has that customer support and based in the US which is the justification for price I guess- which is great, especially if you don't want to tinker. The two bikes I have my eyes on are the MadMods from Sondors and the Anza from Monday Motorbikes. Honestly would love to see you compare these with the RX when they finally release next year! Keep up the cool content- electric transport is awesome man. Ride safe!
@@LeoCarrasco24 Awesome veteran owned shop, with almost too much customization! Huck Cycles look dope.
@@mattfiedler278 your motor on your Ariel Rider X-Class is 1500 W peak power which is probably why it's comparable in speed. 750 W is just the nominal power.
Dope review Sam. I've been riding the RX since August and its been a blast. The accessibility it provides has definitely opened up NYC for me.
I’ve owned the RX since August. Put about 1,300 miles on it thus far. Absolutely amazing bike!
I was just about to buy this bike. Perfect timing.
Damn you must be rich
@@leaky999 mountain bikes cost way more so most people are buying this for convenience in a city. Rich perhaps, sensible more likely
im digging that dual suspension 👌
Me too
As a dirtbike rider this can make a huge inpact in stability and overall frame peformance
Himiway Escape have dual suspension as well
Dang! I want one so bad.
I know right, just cruising seems enjoyable
Just like a computer if you build your own you'll get way more for your money. Check out em3ev for parts
@Gun Fun provide us with dirt cheap labor?
@Gun Fun even if it's put together in the US chances are really high the parts still come from China
@Gun Fun the Chinese also built our railroads, America probably wouldn't be what it is today without China.
The grey with neon green looks so sexy. The biggest difference for me coming from the S1 has been the battery range, top speed and comfortability with the new suspension. What I do miss from the S1 is the torque.
i own a S2 and it looks like the duo suspension is highly needed. if you can fork over the 3k please upgrade to the RX, dont make the same mistake i did.
You still regret it?
Your videos are always incredible bro! Your filmmaking style is so inspiring to me as a 16 year old young Filmmaker and I will be getting my RX this week!
In Australia, it's cheaper to get a proper motorcycle than one of these, plus our silly laws have not been updated so we can only allow 250W motors for the bikes. All the Super73 here, are sold with restrictions on the motors. Come on Australia! This is 2020.
U Aussies need to crack down on your corrupt government like We the People are doing here in the US.
@@davidj.jorgensen4828 bruh dont say nothing about ur government its clapped the US is doomed lmao
Another Sth Aussie here, 4 years ago the Sturt pigs fined me for no license involving a 1000w Bullet 1-6 scooter, that piggie was a pom import, throwing his pommy prejudice around here
Nah that not true now
THX Sam, awesome review as all your videos, loving your live chat try to join today evening . OMG i want this bike now.
You are a cool New Yorker !!!
I love it but the price is INSANITY!!
Sur ron 10x better
All about profit....
No onyx is insanity! $3000 isnt sht lol
What, you ain't got 3 grand for a bike lol
Thanks for the video! S73RX is a vast improvement over the S and R series! I want a C1X...!
IMO-TRUTH, S73RX is a bit overpriced.... Competition is fierce... AR Grizzly SPANKS IT ! ! !
Their ONLY bike with dual suspension... S and R series = All Hardtail...
Brake Rotors are thin and tend to warp if you live in hilly areas. Replace cheap Brake pads @ 200mi intervals!
Love this bike so much! Wish there was something that good looking but cheaper.
Awesome review Sam. I've ordered an s2 so minus the rear shock but still the same motor etc... One issue is their delivery times 'uk'
omg i been subbed for over 3 years... that video was like yesterday.....
Thank you for the review, very informative! 😊
Made the choice to get into motorcycles instead of buying a Super73--being in Denver and the thrill of mountain twisties was WAY too enticing.
The last company I’d choose to wear on my socks is Google.
30 miles of range is what stopping Super73 from popping in the Electric Bike market, it is just too expensive for a low range e-bike. Yes I said low range because there will be always the tension of running out of juice when you're out with the bike. Maybe a little price increase with an addition of a extra battery that comes by default giving maybe and extra 20 miles or so in just throttle mode cuz lets be honest, how many people are using the eco paddle assist mode for the "75" miles range with a low speed and heck if you manage to run out of the battery then good luck paddling this heavy beasty tank of a bike.
Do u know if you can buy these in the UK. I'm new to ebikes and sounds like you know what you're talking about . Cheers .I'm needing a fat wheel e bike .rx is what I want but ill take what ever I can get fat wheeled .cheers
Serious question: what is this bike for? I wouldn't dare to leave it outside while running errands, too easy to steal. So you just take it out for a fun ride and go back home?
I've been waiting for this vid to drop since the IG stories/posts!!
Great video as always! Super informative with outstanding edits.
YES!!! Super 73 is growing strong and steady exceptionally fast I love my super 73
I always wonder why bikes with square frames don't put their batteries in the middle square of the frame and not on top like this one does. You get a lower center of gravity, can put in a bigger battery, and free up that top area for mounts and water bottles
For the cosmetics!
80lbs, heck yeah! Thats light considering I’ll NEVER have to lift it!
How long does the battery last for 8 hours rides as a Uber delivery?
Hey Sam Sheffer! Thank you for the review of that fine city cruiser ebike! I have been riding the Bulls monster E fs which is a Bosch mid drive full suspension fat ebike for almost a year in the mighty north shore mountains of Vancouver British Columbia Canada for almost a year now and I love it! I blast up and down jagged rock strewn logging roads and mountain bike trails! I suggest you try the same! More ebikes is better! Ride ride ride!
Nice to see a fellow NY resident demo a new ebike
I remembered when I saw the S1 I was in love and said I was gonna save to get one and never did, now... this Rx... I want one so bad....
Scratching my head as to why they didn't go with a mid drive motor and a belt drive considering the price, the previous model used a mid drive model after all the logical path would be to upgrade suspension (check), improve the frame (check), and swap the chain for a belt drive to make manual maintenance virtually nonexistent. Shame, it looks super cool too.
I have a feeling that there needs to be a chain for its “bike” status
Stellar review as always, Sam! I love my yamaha yz450 but this little electric bike looks like a freaking blast!
It‘so stunning! Unfortunately in Europe there are so much restrictions and you definitely can‘t ride it here without pedal assistance. =(
They sell the handle bar and throttle on its own so EU customers can install it themselves
in Europe you're limited to a 250W motor max, unless you register the bike, get CBT, a number plate and insurance.
@@mistert800 we have the same shit laws in AU, fingers up to the authorities, I put a throttle on and derestrict to 35kph on my cheap Fortis, a Fortis speed video was found and I used that info to program the parameters, not just top speed, wheel size (speedo under reading) was 20", the 20x4 tyres are actually 22", reduced the start up strength, made the PAS more sensitive 3/12 rotation
Seems like a serious oversight to have the battery on top with so much empty space in the middle.
It restricts how shorter people may attempt to mount the bike with the battery being higher than the seat. It also limits the potential accessories you could use with the bike to have the entire front tube covered by the battery.
I could see if they had concerns over the battery maybe falling in rough riding if placed on the bottom of the tube or on side but bicycle battery mounts of dozens of companies have already established that that's not really a likely scenario.
Also "The app isn't a priority" if this bike is over 3k and has such a limited shit display you better believe the app is a priority, I was shocked at how little information and options that display supports.
Wow nice bike. Super helpful for me in going to work hope i can have one in the not too distant future.
on their site it says 1200w motor and 2000w peak ( which that peak is kinda over stated compared to real one ) and in europe it cost 4200€ which is over 5000usd. compare it with a surron 4000w motor and 6000w peak
Excellent review, honest and to the point. Keep up the great work 👍
First video I'm watching on the iPad Air!!
mazel tov
You should join us on our super73 NY rides!!!
3:43 thank you! I feel like mine is gonna fall off soon. And I just got my bike less than a month ago
Now is it all about the weight. If someone was 150lb can you go more then 30mph ???. Just being curious
Ok, have you ride a surron and a small motocross track. It was bad ass.
This is cool too now with full suspension. Now that it has suspension you can get less wide tires like 2.6-3.0 plus size tires and save more batter and accelerate much faster.
Looks fun but 80 lbs (36kg) is much too heavy for a modern bike, especially for a commuter bike. The center of mass (battery pack) is also too high.
I love Super73 except few details like motor is broken and I wait for replacement for 2 months and before that display was broken. Love my subpar73
Super 73 should enter the pedicab world💯
Great review and I love the helmet plea!!! DD
I have the up graded jetson electric bike, it goes just as fast, has more lights, both breakers and easy carry and fold option, super cool and only cost $326 bucks, hot me up if you want more info
Nice review, thank you.
Theo original design just looks sooooo good though.
Here’s the truth about 73 , love you Sam! I own x2 older 73s that I paid for in full, I love the company (super cool) but they are $1000 over priced , I have a masters degree in engineering and struggle with buying a bike that’s 3500 , sam got this bike for free or for trial for an Ad, do not go in debt over this bike you guys. Please, it’s not worth the debt guilt.
Great review! More RX footage please! Range test in throttle only in both mode 2 and Unlimited mode?
Sadly I've heard nothing be negative reviews for long term owners
Ok, I get it...hard not to feel your enthusiasm :) The Super 73 looks and rides as cool as it looks, but I didn't see any hills or dirt and gravel roads in your demo either. Where I live the nearest blacktop is a two-lane highway almost a half mile away over roads of dirt and gravel that reflect the weather rather than welcome a bike tire. I wonder how the 73 would compare to a taller framed ebike with full-sized fenders in an environment devoid of concrete and blacktop?
I wish I could afford it. $4000 or 38 000 SEK is a lot of money for an Ebike. But damn I want one!
Thank you so much! definitely to consider!
great review Sam & I like the bike, 'cept not keen on ridged seat one cannot adjust. I currently have an Aventon Sinch & looking for a comparable or "more powerful" (non-foldable) bike.
Very informative. Thank you
Nice job on the review, Sam! Rock On!!
I am getting this!!! !!!!!
6:33
*Just over 3000 dollars?*
*it is 4200 euros now, 5000 dollars, way too much*
Waaaaay to expensive.
Half that money would still be to much.
you should probably check again.... its only $3,245. and he did say "If you can afford it" this is a higher quality ebike and is going to come with a price.
Sonders seems to be a big competitor to Super73. You should do a Madmods comparison.
why are u wearing a mask outside?
How tall are you? Do you think it’s too small for someone 6”2? The wheels look kinda small but it’s hard to really tell!
Everyone: awesome review, I cant wait to get one, so much fun, etc
Me: can you do a wheelie?
You should have a series where you use the bike for an out of town ride to some chill place.
This bike looks epic great review and vid
I love the copper look
We need this in India. Fuel prices are like hellfire.
Absolutely love my rx. And yes the stand is absolutely useless on even the slightest incline
im hoping to move by the beach this year and im thinking about getting this for cruising at the beach
came here to see, still gonna buy a suron x
NOW it's in 4K hahaha
nice seeing u yesterday at sticky rice!!!
cool review !!! love the bike too !
I was looking all over for a review like this. Super 73s are the best!
How much better offroad than the ZX? Same tires as ZX? Good on soft sand roads? What is the the most powerful charger you can charge at? Any way to charge the battery with a solar panel or 12v?
Yo the rx is so cool, i have an s1 and once I move to w bigger place plan on buying and rx
I wish I had a better place to ride a bike like this. I live in the mountains of NC and I could probably do some trails but if you want to go anywhere here, you are going to be getting on the highway.
Can you change the throttle setting from the bike itself or ONLY from the app? (Can I put it in unlimited mode from the bike?) not going to lie, if you can only use your phone....that’s a deal breaker. I like the assistance an app brings, but I don’t want my bike to be dependent on it. What if it dies? What if I lose it?
phone dependency sucks
Like this bike for fun easy street cruising and distance. Not so great off road , for off road I hop on the surron.
Awesome and very cool super 73 RX-ebike
Great vid Sam. You should come to one of our s73 group rides east coast.
Awesomely Fantastic Thanks 🤙😎👍💚
This is a great video Sam. Keep making awesome videos. How do you edit out the stick at 4:54?
It’s a special camera I can’t remember the name!
love it but man here in eu the RX is nearly twice the price of the ZX. and being in EU all of them are limited to 25kmh and 250w. SO only difference is the suspension and the light.
Hello Sam thank you for the great review! We are looking forward to an S2 model test so you can say pros and cons between these 2 guys!
hi sam I am in the UK how do I get one what's the best place to order from let me know thanks
sorry I haven't ridden one but isn't the center of gravity too high with the battery mounted at the highest point? I understand they did it to make it look good, to like where a motorcycle gas tank is
pity they didn't put the battery low in the frame instead of high up. Would have made it more stable.
dose anyone know if you can get it in the UK guys let me know thanks
When the motor burns up then you are screwed. Better to have, like the original, a mid motor. Think about it - which motor is easier to replace? Especially for all that $$.
Looks like a $16 to $1800.00 bike to me. I must have missed something. Thanx for the review though.
Hey Sam, I love your reviews but the bike reviews feel like you are mainly just reading the catalogue and stating all the features. I'd really like to learn about the actual build quality of the components too and most importantly the maintenance of said bike. Is it possible to do yourself, does it require software updates, can I upgrade stuff with aftermarket components from other manufacturers, the placing of the sensors and all the other in-depth stuff that comes with an electric bike. What the hell do you do when they possibly go out of business but you need new tires for that thing?
Maybe it's an idea to drop by a bikeshop and have them comment on the bicycle too?
