Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Super73-Z Adventure. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

  • An expert finds the Z Adventure a zippy, fun ride on smooth, flat pavement.
  • The Z Adventure features integrated lights, a front fender, and room for a passenger on the extended seat.
  • The bike comes configured for Class 2, but riders can switch to Class 1, Class 3, or an unrestricted 'Off-Road mode.'
  • There's a choice of four distinctive colorways: Sandstorm, Panthro Blue, Corsetti SE, and Snowshadow SE.
  • Super73 claims over 35 miles of range with throttle-only operation at 20mph and over 50 miles using pedal assist in Class 1 mode.
  • The Super73 companion app provides over-the-air (OTA) updates and extra features like navigation.

7 reasons not to buy

  • One reviewer complains about the "teeth-chattering" ride on unpaved surfaces.
  • A tester and multiple owners find the motor cuts out when the bike hits bumps. One adds that a replacement controller failed to fix the issue.
  • According to one expert, the Z Adventure quickly runs out of steam and slows to a crawl on moderate hills.
  • A reviewer says the Z Adventure can't handle the terrain or riding styles portrayed in Super73's marketing materials.
  • According to a tester, the Z Adventure's lack of speed means it isn't suited to regular bike trails.
  • The Super73-Z Adventure is heavy at 74lb, making it hard to carry upstairs or lift into a vehicle.
  • Many customers complain about purchasing and warranty frustrations, poor product quality, and unsatisfactory customer service from Super73.

Bottom line

The Super73-Z Adventure is a motorcycle-style e-bike designed for off-roading. The Z Adventure undoubtedly looks the part and performs adequately on smooth, flat urban commutes. However, it's too slow, uncomfortable, and heavy to be fun or practical for its intended use. An expert reviewer and multiple owners also complain that the motor cuts out after hitting bumps. All things considered, the Z Adventure disappointingly falls far short of Super73's marketing promise.

Super73 Adventure Series Review: A Bike for Manicured Adventures Only

If you have a garage or shed to store this bike in, a heavy-duty hitch rack capable of hauling it, a vehicle to install said hitch on, and space to ride the bike where you won’t piss traditional cyclists off or wish you could keep up with the real motorcycles ripping past you, I say get one.
