A self-balancing bike or an autonomous motorcycle sounds like the obvious future but before those materialize, perhaps an electric bike like SUPER73-C1X is the future. The SUPER73-C1X is an electric motorcycle that marks a significant evolution in the electric vehicle space. Actually, no. It is more. It is not for beginners or advanced riders only. It is for everyone. Through options, it can meet the requirements of beginner to advanced riders and meet regional regulations.
The SUPER73-C1X is described as a low-powered naked electric motorcycle, moving away from the typical design. The C1X is more akin to a Honda Grom in terms of size, with a 31″ seat height and smaller 15″ wheels, making it quite agile and easy to handle. The bike is lightweight, with a target weight of under 300 lbs (136 kg).
Performance-wise, the SUPER73 C1X is expected to achieve a top speed of over 85 mph (137 km/h) and has a mid-mounted motor, although the power figure for the motor hasn’t been released yet. It features chain drive, so it won’t be as quiet as belt-driven electric motorcycles. The bike’s battery pack is expected to deliver a maximum city range of around 100 miles (161 mi), or 150+ miles (241 mi) for the Extended Range Model.
Speaking of battery, this is where I think this bike shines. It offers fast-charging technology allowing it to charge from 10 to 80% in under 15 minutes. Not a lot is known about this upcoming electric two-wheel sensation. However, we do know that it will have both DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and LED headlamp, as well as regenerative braking.
SUPER73 has not yet released a final price for the C1X, but they are currently accepting $73 deposits for reservations, with production expected to begin in late 2023.
