Super 73-Z Miami review: An e-bike that conquers any commute

Speaking of smells, commuting, as a general rule, stinks. It’s purgatory. It’s the thing you do before the thing you’re trying to do. At its best, it’s waiting. At its worst, it’s a biblical level of transit-based suffering. Like many kinds of pain in this world, however, technology has a salve — in this case, an old solution, turned new. I’m talking about electric bikes, or more specifically, Super73’s electric bikes.To get more news about fatest ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Super73 has made a name for itself in a crowded electric mobility space, collecting accolades from the likes of Casey Neistat and finding its e-bikes under the butts of celebrities like Justin Bieber. Its iconic low-set, retro-futuristic frame, and luxurious bench-style seat make its two-wheelers instantly recognizable. But looks —while endlessly valuable for attracting customers — do little to quell the sticker shock of most newcomers looking to invest in a brand new e-bike.To get more news about 52V Ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Riding down 5th Avenue on Super73’s-Z Miami, I feel two things: fear for my life, given the fact I’m riding an e-bike in bumper-to-bumper traffic, but primarily, I feel pure, unadulterated elation. In this particular traffic clusterfuck, I’m beating the system.To get more news about himiway ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

The Super73-Z Miami is the company’s new addition to its Z-series lineup. One of the biggest changes here is the e-bike’s light frame, which is made from aluminum. The frame obviously makes the e-bike easier to manipulate while you’re not riding, but it also makes the riding experience feel airy and agile. Which — back to my jaunt down 5th Avenue — is important if you’re weaving in and out of tempestuous NYC traffic. The whole e-bike weighs about 59 pounds, which for an e-bike of the Miami’s specifications, isn’t bad. I carried it up a few subway steps as a test, just to prove that it is doable if you don’t mind breaking a little sweat.

Just like how the Terminator’s T-800 is built to destroy, Super73’s Miami is purpose-made to mow down most concrete commutes. “Retro Urban Tires” measure four inches wide and come with compact treads, while a smart display integrated with Super73’s app can give you turn-by-turn navigation.

While I didn’t get a chance to test the Miami’s smart display (an unregistered review e-bike prevented me from using the app), I can say with certainty that the tires passed the urban commuting exam with flying colors.

Even with a foe as formidable as New York City’s decrepit infrastructure, the Miami was able to get me up and down Manhattan with ease. Thick tires helped me cruise over rocks and crags, and even glide safely over speed bumps. When I needed to cross the threshold from street to sidewalk, the Miami chewed up the curb like it was made by Gerber.High top speed/acceleration usually connotes danger, but I’ve come to learn (in my e-mobility pursuits) that commuting environments, where riders are thrust into sandwich-like situations with cars, trucks, and disgruntled cabbies, require the ability to speed up and stay moving on a dime.

I can assure you that the Miami has what you need to keep going. I zipped in and out of traffic, around slow movers in the bike lane, and careened around careless pedestrians. For those times when you need to slow down, the Miami also has various speed settings. You can even cosplay as a regular bicyclist with four levels of pedal assist, though frankly, I’ll always be a thumb throttle kind of person. Who am I trying to fool, anyway?I should note that the Miami’s highest speed setting is called “off-road” mode, suggesting that one shouldn’t have it activated while zooming around town. Between you and me (and everyone else reading this review), I had the highest speed setting (up to 28 mph) engaged at some point during all of my test trips. Just because I can go over the 25 mph e-bike speed limit doesn’t mean I will. (Narrator: He definitely went over the speed limit.)
