The Super73 was developed by Californian manufacturer Lithium Cycles. The design was inspired by the fossil-powered Taco Mini Bike. According to one of the inventors, the Kickstarter campaign planned to raise 25,000 dollars in advance funding to build a dozen bikes. It turned out differently: the crowdfunders poured in over 440000 dollars and forced Lithium Cycles to turn Super73 into a company. Unlike the e-bikes that are common in this country, the Super73 can be accelerated with or without pedal pressure - depending on the mode selected, it is either an electric motorcycle or an electric bike.

The electric bike with the Harley geometry is currently rolling up the field in France. The collaboration with Paris St. Germain football club is symbolic of this. There is even a special edition in the club's colors for supporters of the millionaire squad. However, those who like the military-style design are better off opting for one of the classic models. These are available in road and off-road versions, although the off-road ride comfort on the unsprung 20-inch steel steed is unlikely to be outstanding. Speaking of comfort, with a fighting weight of 32 kilos, the super 73 is definitely not a gadget that you can just carry up to the office, but rather leave on the ground.

Both the road and all-terrain versions are equipped with a 250-watt rear motor that accelerates up to 25 km/h and should have a range of around 50 kilometers (in pedal assist mode). You still have the chance to be one of the very first to cruise through your hood on a Super73 in Switzerland. The nearest points of sale are in Germany and France. The US version, equipped with a 1000-watt motor and capable of 45 km/h, is likely to be even more fun. Super73 has already been given its own category in an American racing series called Super Hooligan. For the 2020 season, Super73 has developed a racing version that is reminiscent of racing motorcycles from the sixties and consequently does without pedals. The bicycle jeep has become a two-wheeled e-go-kart.
