There's One Problem with the Super73 S2 | Full eBike Review

[@grouchydude3448]

This is one of the best reviews on this bike I’ve seen on KZbin!

[@ridetofood]

Thank you! :)

[@Nrgpack]

I really like this review format...and, as always, your videos are top notch. Big thanks Staci!!!

[@ridetofood]

Thank you! :)

[@dylandamn1]

Probably the best review for this bike. So in-depth

[@DickiesBeerReviews]

I've got over 600 miles on my Super73 S2 and still love it. I do want to upgrade my seat to something with more padding. I also wish the throttle was a twist rather than thumb activated...my hand gets numb. CHEERS

[@byDanimal]

That was a great review! Thanks for covering all those topics and the detail you went into on them. Looks like a good little local errand runner for sure.

[@ridetofood]

Thank you 🙌 I loved having it for a few weeks. Really wish I had it now that it’s warming up! Lol

[@Altema22]

Riding buddies are great. I don't have any around me that ride E-bikes, so I go on out of state rides. I did meet a local group, but I think the leader was a bit intimidated by my bike being modified. Super73 has the best community 😊

[@MrFCuadrado]

Cool vid! I like how you presented the info. Like always, great work! 🤘🏼

[@ridetofood]

thank you! figured it would be fun to try out a review style video :) thanks for watching!

[@oldcaliguy]

The question of "sweet jumps" was a Napoleon Dynamite reference. Too funny.

[@ridetofood]

seeing it pop up on my phone was quite comical as well. hahaha

[@killakev1187]

Appreciate the honest review... For the price no reason to not have full suspension also should have the capability of getting 40mph

[@ridetofood]

Sounds like you know a lot more about these little things than me! 🤣🤘

[@dccoletrain]

I feel you… I got one and really like it but wish more people around me had one to group ride

[@ridetofood]

Glad I’m not the only one who feels this! Glad you’re enjoying it outside of that little negative, though :)

[@HARMARSCH2]

Staci, Thank you for the review on the Super 73 S2 E Bike. Honestly the frame reminds of the old Mini Bikes I rode when I was little. I’ve been watching videos on the Super 73 for a long time but your videos have been the most in depth I’ve seen. Yes riding with a buddy would be a lot more fun especially when Riding To Food.

[@ridetofood]

Nice! Yeah, I love it. Hopefully we will see some Super73’s on the channel again soon! 😎

[@CircusBearMoto]

“I’ve got a big ol’ juicy booty”. I’m dying. 😂 😂 😂

[@ezl8002]

Real good review on the Super73 and thanks!

[@ridetofood]

You're Welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@SoopaBee]

I’ve had the opportunity to test ride both the LiveWire as well as a Zero motorcycle. The instant torque with the electric motorcycles is SO nice. I’d love to try out an electric e-bike as well. The convenience of hopping on a motorized bicycle is really attractive. Nice review. Thanks!

[@ridetofood]

Very cool!!! I haven’t ridden any Zero’s yet but I’ve heard great things. Haven’t gotten to ride the livewire either. Only have sat on it. Lol! I bet you’ll have fun on an ebike. It’s pretty hard not to :)

[@paradisekii7706]

Super73 s2 owner love my bike! If it’s out of your budget there’s other companies that have decent looking bikes also, like Juiced bikes or Ariel Rider(the new 52v x class especially) are also great options!

[@charlesbraddy2455]

thanks for sharing your story. I just bought a zx, im here in Denver... see you on the trails!

[@ridetofood]

I wish they wouldve let me keep this! I unfortunately don't own an ebike

[@charlesbraddy2455]

@@ridetofood you ought to call them and ask for one! You would help them sell a bunch. your video is great..

[@hd01roadking]

Great review. You are one heck of a spokesperson.

[@ridetofood]

Thank you! :)

[@josephinefurman3905]

So glad I found this video! This is literally the review I needed and have been looking for!!! I live in Denver super close to the platte and work downtown like 10 min car ride. My Plan was to get that model to ride to work and back via that trail when we go back to the office so I don’t have to deal with parking, gas, etc! I was a little concerned if ppl might think it’s a scooter/motorcycle on the bIke trail but looks like you had zero issues?! Thank you for this review!

[@jsorbet]

Don’t underestimate the S1. My wife and I got them from EBikes USA at Cherry Creek and we love them. I get 25, 30 and 35 miles with 1/4 tank still left and I’m 190 lbs. But def buy one. They’re showing up like crazy on the Denver bike trails and it’s people using them to replace their cars!

[@leftmikerightmike]

Ha, I knew I recognized that bridge at the beginning of your video! Less than mile from my house.

[@ridetofood]

Howdy neighbor!

[@SESSIONS73]

Awesome review! I love my S2.

[@ridetofood]

thanks for watching!! they're such rad little bikes. glad you're enjoying yours! :)

[@SimplySergMX_arts]

Always wanted to go to Denver , if I get my bike I hope to take the Amtrak and go to a few places with amazing bike paths .

[@sonnyboy216]

The one thing I will say is it’s hard to find a inner tube for that back wheel especially if SUPER73 doesn’t have it in stock

[@ridetofood]

That's a good tip to know! I was also curious what it would be like to find a tire when the time comes

[@mrjaybennett80]

I suggest tire slime'ing it as soon as you get it. This will make it indestructible... okay maybe not indestructible put definitely puncture proof.

[@lewisatlas6725]

Very well done review. Your presentation was professional. Thanks. Does it recharge the battery while breaking or coasting?

[@ridetofood]

Ohhh great question! No, you have to charge the actual battery to recharge it. Would be great to see that in a future model, though!

[@MileHighVertical]

@@ridetofood but the price would go like a tesla in that case! lol

[@MotobikeMike00]

Im debating on getting one. They seem cool enough to mob around town.Great Review as always.

[@ridetofood]

I think they’re insanely fun! You’ll enjoy it for sure.

[@charliea1641]

Look S2 is a cruiser I have one it a cool bike

[@TheBreenGene]

Excellent review format 👍

[@ridetofood]

[@aucklandsadventures]

The “Sweet Jumps” Napoleon Dynamite reference. LOL

[@ridetofood]

Hahahah yeah, that one was pretty goofy! I can appreciate it

[@matthewledford6360]

Awesome review. That thing is rad

[@ridetofood]

Thank ya!! Definitely a fun little “bike” 😎

[@joecrafted]

Cool review! I did a search for this specific eBike and came across your channel (which I now am sub'ed to), great content! I'm going to be doing some solo riding this year on my Sporty, but can see getting one of these little guys for jaunts to the local grocery store, which is only a couple miles away. That big, empty frame is just begging to have a custom canvas bag added for some grocery hauling.

[@ridetofood]

Hahaha absolutely! I wish they would have let me keep one of these bikes. They’re really fun!

[@RunningSD]

ariel rider seems to be the better choice right now esp x-class. ill probably wait to pull the trigger on a super 73 till they are more powerful

[@ridetofood]

Interesting! I thought they were pretty juiced but like I mentioned, it was my First and only ebike experience. I wouldn’t want this thing to go any faster. It was pretty sketchy at high speed compared to riding a real motorcycle 🤣

[@RunningSD]

@@ridetofood yea I just been doin research cause i plan on getting one. What I’ve seen is the torque is a lot faster compared to the 73. Also going uphills is a lot better. But I love the 73 look. Imma wait to see if 73 upgrades their stuff. Pretty sure they will in the future.

[@RunningSD]

@@ridetofood also their 2100$ x-class is performing just as well if not better than super 73 rx 3500$ one. Pretty crazy

[@ridetofood]

@@RunningSD ohhh that makes sense! good info. thank you :)

[@helenHTID]

Yeah, Mileage on a charge is down to so many variables! You can't take any of a company's figures in a serious manor, As no doubt they come to those numbers from mathematics or lab testing in optimal conditions. It's far from real world scenarios. If you do take them to heart, You'll be very disappointed by your outcome lol And these hub motor systems are not that efficient either compared to mid drives (I've owned both). Hubs are best for cruising in my opinion and I prefer them, But the downside is they eat power much more quickly - especially under load (hills and weight - Which is what you have an ebike for right?). 40 miles is good going my dear well done! Helps when the weather is mild the journey is flat and you use that PAS while limiting your bike's power output.

[@tedpechie6642]

Not used to you on a non HD, thanks for the ride

[@ridetofood]

It was a different ride for me as well! :) the dyna will be back in the next video! 😎

i cannot decide between a super73, ariel rider grizzly, rize blade 2, or biktrix moto

[@BronerBeast]

Hope you didnt buy the trash 73 Lol its a piece of junk for that price.

[@eddieknight2202]

Great review, can it ride in the rain and can it be taken to the beach or do you have to avoid the sand

[@ridetofood]

No clue I only got to borrow it for a couple of weeks in the middle of winter in Colorado 😂

[@Chrisgroot19]

Very usefull review. Thanks!

[@ridetofood]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adarngoodjoe4043]

For the price they're asking for one of these, I would probably never buy one. Mostly, that's because there are other things I'd rather buy in its place for the same dollar amount. I do think they're neat though. Another good video as well.

[@ridetofood]

Totally understandable. I personally am in the same boat :)

[@treverfogarty8514]

Mine paid for itself in under two years.

[@burn1gotbeats]

I agree if I’m in 3k I’ll pay a little extra for a Surron or something.

[@dikybob249]

So are you saying there's no actual speed limit difference between mode 1 n 4? Only the acceleration? I'm having trouble picking between the Super73 S1 or the S2 id need it for city riding an can only go about 20mph. Which i thought the S2 speed mode #2 would achieve 🤔

[@dikybob249]

Or does let's say speed mode #1 also hit the 30+mph

[@ridetofood]

Check that screenshot between the modes from the app and it will show you exactly how fast you can top out in each mode. The levels on the other hand seem to let you accelerate faster the higher you go in number and there’s also 4 of those. So four modes. Four levels.

[@dikybob249]

@@ridetofood tru i think ima end up going with the S2 over the S1 that battery life alone

[@ridetofood]

@@dikybob249 I think you'll dig having that extra battery life! :) if I was going to choose, I would choose the S2

Can you please help me out!? I purchased an s2 recently and I noticed it's missing the jockey wheel. I've seen it on other s2 even though it's single gear, plus the pictures that Super73 shows the jockey wheel when buying the bike. But mine did not come with one. I noticed yours doesn't have it either. Is this an extra thing one pays for??

[@ridetofood]

I have no idea. I don’t own this bike. Super73 let me use it for a couple weeks and then I had to give it back and I haven’t heard from them since. That was a year ago lol! Sorry!

[@jeremycline9542]

In Connecticut you can only ride e-bikes on roads...no trails of any kind. That's kind of a bummer.

That’s mentioned in the range test video! I think 10....but that’s not really an accurate readinvsince the bike wasn’t always on. Lol that’s why I based it on mileage

[@OldFriendsandNewRoads]

wink wink!! your beach cruiser version sounds rad! I would have to find a way to get a rear suspension going. Nice video, I hope we get to see more of these style of reviews

[@alexcamerano5859]

When you started talking about the range and I seen the clip I was like denver?? And then you said downtown denver I got excited haha I live in denver I used to ride my ZX to and from work it was so fun unfortunately my bike got stolen and Super73 doesn’t have anything to try and help find it so I lost out

[@ridetofood]

Yeah I’ve never heard of any vehicle company having a department that helps find stolen vehicles unfortunately lol

[@MileHighVertical]

I have a GoPro 9 but have not found a good audio setup yet. Any using GoPro 9?

Yep I use it. But I just use the regular audio from the GoPro. I haven’t done any upgrades

@@ridetofood Do you use the built-in mic? I use it but the sound is too much for any commentary...kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWof62embqmo7c for review if you have time and interest?

[@ridetofood]

@@MileHighVertical yes the built in mic! :) if you're looking for a "motovlogging" helmet set up so that you can talk while riding, i'd recommend asking another motovlogger honestly. I dont talk and ride. I just do voice overs in post so I can enjoy the ride when im out on two. :)
