Highly leisure-oriented, the American pedal-assist e-bike brand Super73 presents a small electric motorcycle, the C1X, in addition to its 2022 line-up.
Does designing an electric motorcycle require experience in motorcycling? Not necessarily, when looking at Super73’s history. This Californian company started with electric bikes, resembling fat bikes with their large wheels and the look of small motorcycles.
Ultimately, it was not far from an electric motorcycle—if we overlooked the pedaling that initiates the electric assist. In fact, Super73 took the leap by launching its first electric motorcycle, the C1X.
A small Neo-Retro Super73 Motorcycle
What is this thing, you might ask? Indeed, the design and proportions are distinctive; the Super73 C1X features 15-inch wheels. “We have rethought two-wheeled urban transportation,” explains Super73, “much smaller and lighter than a traditional motorcycle, the C1X is designed to bridge urban exploration and highway connectivity.”
It leans towards a futuristic style with its offset square headlights or the central block, and still in retro style, with nods to the 1960s.

Too bad, the brand is tight-lipped about details. But the C1X could charge 80% of its battery in just one hour and reach 120 km/h. Technically.
A New Range of E-Bikes for 2022
Alongside, Super73 has refreshed its line of electric bicycles. The Super73-Z is the new, affordable model at €2,399, with a 615 Wh battery and 8 gears. For an extra €300, the ZX features a specific 10-speed gearbox. More sporty with its large 960 Wh battery above the frame and a 2 kW peak motor, the S2 goes up to €3,699. More all-terrain with its rear suspension, the RX represents the high end at €4,599.
Also available in the catalog, the Super73-ZG version offers an affordable model at €1,599. But it has a smaller battery than the “Z,” a 250W motor, and a less padded old saddle.
