The Cheapest SUPER73 Electric Bike - ZG Review UK
Ғылым және технология
I bought SUPER73’s cheapest electric bike, and it’s awesome! This is my Super73 ZG (Z1) review, including first ride, first impressions and unboxing! How fast can it go? How much does it cost to charge and what’s the range like?

The ZG is the UK/EU model of the Z1 which is 100% road legal as it has pedal assist (PAS) instead of a throttle. But how fun can a bike be that's electric?

Thanks for watching! UPDATE - I've fixed the creaking noise, it was the chain hitting against the chain guard when pedaling (I've removed the guard and it's eliminated the noise completely).

I received the s2 on Monday this week, is that a south east village I recognise. I'm hitting 33 mph on pedal assist. On the flat. Near Maidstone Kent.
My ZX arrived a week ago and I love it! Being a motorcycle rider usually it was nice to have the wide tyres!

To anyone wanting one of these but is worried about the recommended height cut off as I was don't worry too much about it. I'm 6ft and have not found it to be an issue at all! I'd say its only a concern to anyone around 6"3 and up. Extremely fun ride, the only downside at all is that the firm seat combined with the lack of suspension can make long rides a little rough on the ol' posterior. Still overall an excellent and really fun bike!

thanks for the kind of review that we don't get on the main channels anymore now that they are given bikes to review their own collection has grown to the point where they have a bike for every occasion but the rest of us want to know what is the best value all rounder that ticks as many boxes as can be expected for the money. cool bike and great review 👍🏻
I am from California and I love some of the feature enrichments this bike has in the UK. I have two American versions (Z1), love the added lights, power modes and the pedal assist. It caps at 20mph here, but downhill over 25mph. I also removed the mechanical brakes and added hydraulic brakes. Huge difference. I have the RX bike too and the 4 piston hydraulic brakes are amazing. This should be standard across any bike. I also just ordered the ZX Moon Rock edition. Looking forward to this bike too. First upgrade will be the hydraulic brakes no doubt. Really cool seeing the UK counterpart.

Gotta say Chris, it was awesome. Kept me interested right until the end. Really love your way of doing videos. Keep it up mate.
You can adjust suspension by regulating the pressure in the tyres. Makes a massive difference
Nice electric bike! I watched this whole video and I don’t even want a bike lol it’s just something about ur videos and the editing! So good!

I have the same bike also in white ...i parked in my living room ...so i can enjoy the bike by just watching it 🙂 Greetings from the Netherlands.
Is that sound coming from where the fork meets the steerer? I had a similar thing on my bike, if that's the case it's possible that the connection between your fork and steerer is not the correct tightness and or sufficiently lubricated. I've got a steel bike and had that noise I had to adjust the tension of the lock nut and the crown a bit (though be careful with the crown in particular) to rid myself of incessant creaking. If you hear it when you turn the handle bars it's likely the steerer however there's also a chance it's elsewhere. I'd take the time to hunt down the creak though, as that's often a sign of not quite up to snuff assembly, something might be loose and get damaged overtime. A good bike mechanic can probably solve that issue for you as well, I'd take it into a shop for a once over frankly. I kinda fuck around with my own bike a lot but I'm by no means a professional. It's been fine and I've done some pretty gnarly things on it, but you don't want it falling apart on you going 25k

I wonder if these are any good on dirt roads, gravel and sand? does the battery have a BMS? any way to charge with a solar panel directly? Reading max charge rate is 48v @ 5amp.
It could be the frame creaking, but it could also be under tensioned spokes. It looks pretty good

It looks really good and the price is right but with that steel frame and no suspension this is going to be a road only option realistically.
Is there no settings in the app so the bike goes faster than 25km/h? The zx has that option even though it’s not legal

NICE ELECTRIC BIKE! Just saw this a day ago and Im obsessed
Anyone watching this review - don't get the zg or zx, on paper they're a lot cheaper than the S2 or RX but everyone who buys a zg and zx seems to end up spending just as much as an S2 would cost on upgrading the bike to the S2's level because the zg and zx just aren't good enough overall, I started with the intention of buying a zg then after watching a few more reviews I thought the zx would be suitable but after loads of research I settled on buying the S2 and I know for a fact if I'd bought the zg or zx I would of regretted it, of course the RX is nice but it doesn't offer anything more than the S2 other than mid suspension - the rest of the bike is the same. Had my S2 now for 3 months and done 400 miles and I cant get on it enough, absolutely in love with it.
Omg I love how it looks. Checked out the site and they have it in pink... I really want this now. Was checking out to buy an electric bike cus I cant keep up with my boyfriend 😅
