By Mehran G. — Redtail eBikes. Every model, spec, price, and recall status here is researched and verified against primary sources. · Verified July 3, 2026.
Quick Answer: A Super73 (also searched as a super 73 ebike) makes moto-style, fat-tire electric bikes that deliberately blur the line between an e-bike and a light electric motorcycle — banana seat, low stance, and a lifestyle-first design out of Irvine, California. Every current model ships as a Class 2 e-bike with a 20 mph throttle and a UL 2271 battery. Prices run from about $2,295 for the Z Miami to $4,295 for the R Adventure Series SE (MSRP, verified on super73.com July 3, 2026). Real-world range lands around 25–55 miles depending on model and battery. One thing every buyer should know: in February 2025 the CPSC announced a recall of the Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core over a brake-caliper pin that can loosen. Super73 is a genuine, design-led brand — but it is a premium, direct-to-consumer purchase, so verify the model, class, and recall status before you buy.

What is Super73 — and the moto-style story
A Super73 electric bike is a moto-style, fat-tire e-bike built to look and ride like a scaled-down motorcycle — low banana seat, wide tires, and an upright cruiser stance. Every current super73 ebike ships as a Class 2 model with a 20 mph throttle and a UL 2271 battery (super73.com, verified July 3, 2026).
The brand leads with design and culture, not spec-sheet value. That framing matters, because it explains both the styling and the premium price you will see later in this profile.

The "not quite a motorcycle" positioning
The whole point of a Super73 is the look: it reads as a mini electric moto, yet it stays inside e-bike rules as a stock Class 2 bike. That tension is the brand's identity and its main source of buyer confusion.
Riders love the motorcycle aesthetic without a license, plate, or insurance requirement in most states. The catch is that the styling invites people to treat it like a motorcycle — a theme we return to under top speed and street-legality below.
Who Super73 is built for
Super73 suits riders who want a statement bike for short-to-medium urban and trail hops, and who value style and feel over range-per-dollar. It is a lifestyle buy first, a commuter second.
If your priority is a light, cheap, or long-range commuter, this is probably the wrong brand — and that is a fair thing for a profile to say out loud. We will name who should skip it in the bottom line.
The Takeaway: Super73 is a design-led, moto-style brand; on founding year and corporate history we found no primary source we would stand behind, so we cover the positioning and leave the timeline unstated.
Where Super73 e-bikes are made
We did not have a primary source confirming where Super73 e-bikes are manufactured as of July 3, 2026, so this profile does not assert a country of manufacture. What is verifiable is the company's US base in Irvine, California, which appears on the CPSC recall record.
That distinction matters for buyers. A US headquarters tells you where support and warranty claims are handled; it does not, on its own, tell you where the frames and batteries are built.
The Takeaway: Super73 operates from Irvine, California (verified via CPSC); the manufacturing location is not something we will state as fact without a sourced page, and neither should any profile that hasn't pulled one.
The full Super73 lineup, prices, and US e-bike classes
Super73 sells a lineup of moto-style e-bikes spanning roughly $2,295 to $4,295 (MSRP, super73.com, July 3, 2026), and every current model is a stock Class 2 e-bike with a 20 mph throttle. The range is organized into families — the compact Z line, the mid S line, and the larger R line — with "Core" and "SE" trims stepping up battery and components.
The current families include the MZFT, M1D, B1G, Z Miami, ZX, Z Adventure, S2, R Brooklyn, and R Adventure, with Core and SE variants on several. We verified prices and specs only where the live product page gave every cell.
The current 2026 lineup
Not every model carries a fully verified spec sheet at the moment of writing. We name the full range for completeness, but we only put a model in the comparison table when super73.com listed each figure on July 3, 2026.
Prices and specs for the MZFT, M1D, B1G, Z Miami SE, and S2 Laguna were not confirmed cell-by-cell on that date, so they appear here by name only — not with invented numbers.
Model comparison table
Every cell below traces to a Super73 product page pulled July 3, 2026. Ranges are the manufacturer's own estimates, not tested figures.
| Model | Price (MSRP) | Class | Top speed | Motor | Battery | Est. range | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z Miami | $2,295 | Class 2 | 20 mph | 500W | 480Wh | 25–35 mi | 59 lb |
| ZX | $2,495 | Class 2 | 20 mph | 600W | 480Wh | 25–35 mi | 62 lb |
| ZX SE | $2,895 | Class 2 | 20 mph | 600W | 720Wh | 35–45 mi | 64 lb |
| S2 SE | $2,995 | Class 2 | 20 mph | 750W | 720Wh | 35–45 mi | 71 lb |
| R Brooklyn SE | $3,595 | Class 2 | 20 mph | 750W | 960Wh | 45–55 mi | 83 lb |
| R Adventure Series SE | $4,295 | Class 2 | 20 mph | 750W | 960Wh | 40–55 mi | 88 lb |

Why Super73 costs what it does
A super 73 ebike is priced above most Class 2 hardware because you are paying for design, brand, and finish as much as for watts and watt-hours. The motors (500–750W) and batteries (480–960 Wh) are solid, but you can find similar raw specs for less.
That is the honest trade: the premium buys the look, the feel, and a recognized name — not a better range-per-dollar number. Whether that is worth it is a personal call, and the bottom line spells out who it fits.
Where to buy — Super73 is direct-to-consumer
Super73 sells primarily direct-to-consumer, which shapes the whole ownership experience. There is no broad walk-in dealer network for most buyers, so assembly, tuning, and warranty claims tend to route back through the brand.
If you are weighing a purchase, apply a seller checklist the same way you would for any DTC e-bike brand — confirm warranty terms, return window, and support responsiveness before you pay. Our guide on how to vet an e-bike seller before you buy walks the exact questions to ask.
The Takeaway: The verified Super73 lineup runs $2,295–$4,295, all stock Class 2 at 20 mph; the premium buys design and brand, and the DTC model means service falls to you.
How fast is a Super 73 ebike? Top speed and class explained
Across every current product page we checked on July 3, 2026, a stock Super73 is a Class 2 e-bike with a 20 mph throttle — that is the top assisted speed as the bike ships. Class 2 means throttle-and-pedal assist capped at 20 mph, which is street-legal as an e-bike in most US states without a license, plate, or insurance.
That 20 mph figure is the number to plan around, because it is what the factory sets and what class law expects.
Stock top speed versus class limits
A 20 mph cap applies whether you use the throttle or pedal assist on a stock Super73. Class 2 rules tie that speed to where you can legally ride — generally bike lanes and many paths, though local rules vary.
Riders sometimes assume a bigger motor means a higher legal speed. It does not: the class, not the wattage, sets the assisted top speed.
Is it street legal? Class 2 versus Class 3 and the moto question
As a stock Class 2 bike, a Super73 is treated as an e-bike, not a motorcycle, in most states — no license or plate needed. But the motorcycle styling tempts some riders to push past class limits, and that is where legal trouble starts.
Where you ride and what you modify both matter. Because state rules differ, confirm your own before you ride — our hub on US e-bike class laws by state covers the differences without the guesswork.
The 2025 app and throttle change
Super73 has updated its app-linked ride settings over time, and buyers ask whether an "off-road" or unlocked mode raises the top speed. We could not verify a specific higher-speed unlock behavior against a primary source, so this profile does not assert one.
Treat any "unlocked speed" claim you see in forums as unconfirmed until Super73's own documentation states it. Riding above your class limit on public roads can void legal e-bike status regardless of what a setting allows.
The Takeaway: Every verified Super73 is a stock 20 mph Class 2 e-bike; it is street-legal as an e-bike in most states, but the moto styling and any speed tinkering are exactly what can push a rider out of legal territory.
Battery, range, and charging
Verified Super73 batteries run from 480 Wh to 960 Wh and are UL 2271-certified across the lineup we checked (super73.com, July 3, 2026). Manufacturer range estimates span roughly 25 to 55 miles depending on model, battery, and how much you lean on the throttle.
UL 2271 is a battery-level safety certification, and its presence across the range is a genuine mark in Super73's favor.
Battery sizes and UL 2271 safety
The smaller Z-line bikes carry 480 Wh packs; the SE trims and R-line bikes step up to 720 Wh or 960 Wh. More watt-hours generally means more range, at the cost of weight.
UL 2271 certification means the battery has been tested to a recognized safety standard — a real reason for confidence, especially given how much e-bike risk concentrates in the battery.
Claimed versus real-world range
The 25–55 mile figures in the table are the manufacturer's estimates, not our tested numbers. Real range depends on rider weight, terrain, throttle use, and temperature, and throttle-heavy moto-style riding tends to land near the low end.
Read any single range number as a ceiling, not a promise. If range is your top priority, that alone is a reason to look hard before committing to a Super73.
Charge time
Super73 lists an approximate 5-hour charge for the Z Miami on its product page (super73.com, July 3, 2026). We did not confirm per-model charge times for the rest of the lineup, so we will not state them as fact.
Expect larger 720–960 Wh packs to take longer than the 480 Wh Z Miami. Confirm the exact figure on the specific model's page before you buy.
The Takeaway: Verified Super73 batteries are 480–960 Wh and UL 2271-certified with 25–55 mile manufacturer range estimates; treat those as ceilings, and confirm per-model charge times directly since we verified only the Z Miami's roughly 5-hour figure.
Weight and everyday practicality
Verified Super73 models weigh between 59 lb and 88 lb (super73.com, July 3, 2026) — heavy for a bicycle, and a practical factor most brand roundups skip. That weight shapes daily life more than any spec on the sheet.
An 88 lb R-line bike is not something most riders lift onto a standard trunk rack or carry up apartment stairs. The lighter 59 lb Z Miami is more manageable, but still a two-hand job.

If you live in a walk-up, park in a garage with a step, or plan to car-rack the bike often, weigh the heavier models honestly. A hitch-mounted rack rated for e-bike weight is close to mandatory for the R line.
The Takeaway: Verified Super73 weights run 59–88 lb; the styling hides real heft, so factor lifting, stairs, and rack ratings into the decision before the aesthetics win it.
The warranty reality: read past the marketing
Here is the honest limitation: we could not verify Super73's current warranty terms against a primary page as of July 3, 2026, so this profile does not quote coverage lengths or exclusions it cannot source. A brand profile that invents warranty specifics is worse than one that flags the gap.
What we can tell you is how to read any e-bike warranty once you find it. The number that matters is battery coverage — brands often headline a multi-year warranty while covering the battery in full for a much shorter window.
Before you buy, pull up Super73's warranty page and check three things: how long the battery is fully covered, what "wear items" are excluded, and who pays return shipping on a claim. Translate the marketing phrase into what it actually pays for.
The Takeaway: We did not verify Super73's warranty terms, so treat any figure as unconfirmed until you read the brand's warranty page directly — and judge it on battery coverage, exclusions, and who pays shipping, not the headline number.
The safety record: is there a Super73 recall?
Yes. According to the CPSC recall database, checked July 3, 2026, Super73 announced a February 2025 recall covering the Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core over a disc-brake caliper retaining pin that can loosen and affect braking. This is a real safety event, not a rumor, and it is the single most important thing to verify before buying or riding an affected model.
Per the recall announcement, the action covered roughly 1,400 units, with about 21 reports of the issue and one minor injury, and the remedy was a free repair kit.
The February 2025 recall — Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core
The defect involves the disc-brake caliper retaining pin, which can work loose and reduce braking performance — a genuine crash risk. The remedy reported was a free repair kit to secure the caliper.
We are deliberately not printing a recall notice number here, because the CPSC page did not load on direct fetch and we will not guess an official identifier. Confirm the exact recall number and date at CPSC.gov before acting on it.
What to do if you own an affected model
If you own a Z Miami SE or Z Adventure Core, treat it as stop-and-check: stop riding until you confirm whether your unit is affected and the repair is done. Contact Super73 for the free repair kit, and reach the recall line reported for the action at 888-841-3584.
Do not assume your bike is fine because it brakes normally today — a loosening pin is exactly the kind of fault that shows up without warning. Verify against the CPSC listing by serial or model.
The Takeaway: A February 2025 CPSC recall covers the Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core for a brake-caliper pin that can loosen; if you own either, stop riding, get the free repair kit, and confirm the exact recall number at CPSC.gov rather than trusting any figure secondhand.
Reputation and reliability signals
Super73 is a resolved, genuine brand entity — not a white-label reseller — with a strong design following and an active owner community. Reputation signals for a super 73 ebike are mixed in the way you would expect for a premium lifestyle product: buyers who want the look tend to love them, while value-focused riders question the price and the weight.
We report this as a pattern, not a headcount, because we did not run a verified-buyer review tally for this profile.
The recurring positives owners raise are the styling, the ride feel, and the fat-tire stability. The recurring cautions are premium pricing for Class 2 hardware, the heft of the R-line bikes, and DTC-only service.
Take any glowing or scathing single review with context. For a purchase this size, weight your own priorities — look, range, service access — over the loudest voices in either direction, and verify the current recall and warranty status yourself.
The Takeaway: Super73 is a real, well-followed brand with a design-driven fan base; owner sentiment splits along the same line as the price — great if you want the aesthetic, questionable if you want value-per-watt.
The honest ledger: green flags vs red flags
Green flags
- Genuine design-led brand identity and a resolved Google entity — not a rebadged white-label reseller.
- UL 2271 battery certification across the verified lineup, the safety floor that matters most.
- A broad range with clear price tiers ($2,295–$4,295) and rider-fit options from the compact Z line to the larger R line.
- Transparent, consistent Class 2 / 20 mph stock spec — no misleading "unlocked by default" gimmick.
- A US base in Irvine, California, so support and warranty claims are handled domestically.
Red flags
- A February 2025 CPSC recall (brake-caliper pin) on the Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core — a real safety event.
- Premium pricing for Class 2 hardware; you pay for design more than range-per-dollar.
- Heavy bikes, up to 88 lb, that are hard to lift, carry, or car-rack.
- Moto styling invites "is it street-legal?" confusion and tempts riders past class limits.
- Direct-to-consumer only, with no broad dealer network — assembly and service fall on you.
- Warranty terms we could not verify against a primary page — a caution until you read them yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How fast is a Super73 e-bike?
Every current Super73 ships as a stock Class 2 e-bike with a 20 mph throttle (super73.com, verified July 3, 2026). That 20 mph cap applies to both throttle and pedal assist as the bike leaves the factory. A bigger motor does not raise the legal assisted speed — the class does. Plan around 20 mph, and treat any higher-speed "unlock" claim as unconfirmed until Super73's own documentation states it.
Are Super73 bikes street legal?
As stock Class 2 e-bikes, Super73 models are treated as e-bikes — not motorcycles — in most US states, usually with no license, plate, or insurance required. Where you can ride and what you can modify vary by state and city. The moto styling tempts some riders past class limits, which can void that legal status. Check your own state first; our US e-bike class laws by state hub covers the differences.
Is a Super73 a bike or a motorcycle — do I need a license or insurance?
Stock, it is an e-bike, not a motorcycle, so most states require no license or insurance. The line is the class rules: keep it at Class 2 (20 mph assist) and it stays an e-bike. Push it beyond class limits and you risk being reclassified, which can trigger registration, licensing, or insurance requirements. The safe answer is to ride it as the Class 2 bike it ships as.
How much does a Super73 cost?
Verified prices run from about $2,295 for the Z Miami to $4,295 for the R Adventure Series SE (MSRP, super73.com, July 3, 2026). The premium reflects design, brand, and finish more than raw motor-and-battery specs. You can find similar Class 2 hardware for less if value-per-dollar is your priority. Confirm the current price on the specific model's page, since MSRP and sale pricing shift.
What's the range of a Super73?
Manufacturer range estimates span roughly 25 to 55 miles depending on model, battery (480–960 Wh), and throttle use (super73.com, July 3, 2026). These are the brand's estimates, not tested figures. Throttle-heavy moto-style riding tends to land near the low end. Read any single range number as a ceiling rather than a promise, and size the battery to your real routes.
Which Super73 model is best for beginners?
The entry-tier Z Miami and ZX are the more approachable starting points — lighter (59–62 lb), lower-priced, and easier to manage. The heavier S2 and R-line bikes (up to 88 lb, 960 Wh) suit riders who want more range and are comfortable handling the weight. If it is your first e-bike, start lighter and cheaper. Confirm fit and current specs on the model page before buying.
Was there a Super73 recall?
Yes. Per the CPSC recall database, checked July 3, 2026, a February 2025 recall covered the Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core over a disc-brake caliper retaining pin that can loosen. The reported remedy was a free repair kit. If you own either model, stop riding until it is checked, and confirm the exact recall number and remedy at CPSC.gov rather than trusting a secondhand figure.
Is a Super73 worth it?
It is worth it for the rider who wants moto styling and the fat-tire feel and is fine paying a lifestyle premium — not for the value-per-watt commuter. If the look and the ride are the point, and you can handle DTC service and the weight, a Super73 delivers. If you want light, cheap, or long-range, look elsewhere. See the bottom line for the clear who-should-buy and who-should-skip split.

The bottom line
Super73 is a real, design-led, moto-style brand that is worth the money for the rider who wants the look and the fat-tire feel — not for the value-per-watt commuter. It earns its following on styling and ride feel, and it clears the safety floor with UL 2271 batteries. What you are buying is a lifestyle bike at a premium, with the ownership work of a direct-to-consumer purchase.
Who should buy: riders who want moto styling for short-to-medium urban and trail hops, and who accept a lifestyle premium plus self-managed assembly and service.
Who should skip: anyone who wants a lightweight, budget, or long-range commuter; anyone who needs local dealer service; and anyone unwilling to verify recall and class status before riding.
What to do next: confirm the exact model's class and recall status first. If a Super73 is not the fit, weigh how to choose the right e-bike against your real routes, browse Redtail's fat-tire e-bikes for a lighter or better-value option, and compare the e-bike brands Redtail carries side by side.
