New Super73 C1X Electric Motorcycle

Super73’s First Electric Motorcycle Blends Retro Styling With State-of-the-Art Tech
The two-wheeler has an estimated top speed of 75 mph and can cover 100 miles on a single charge

The new C1X is expected to reach 75 mph at full tilt.Designed for city cruising, the C1X has a small footprint that the team achieved by shortening the wheelbase and downsizing to 15-inch wheels. By comparison, even the smallest Zero e-bike is taller and bigger than this svelte machine. Interestingly, it has a pretty average seat height of 31 inches, which is almost on par with a Ducati Monster.

The electric motor, meanwhile, has been cleverly mounted rear on the swingarm to give the central chassis more room for a larger battery. This positioning also eliminates chain slack and maintenance, according to Super73. The company didn’t give any further details regarding the powertrain, except to say that the bike is expected to have a top speed of 75 mph and a range of approximately 100 miles. Fast charging is in the cards, too—you’ll be able to get the bike back up to 80 percent in less than an hour......

Super73 has labeled this C1X a concept, but you shouldn’t have to wait too long to see the production version. The team says development is well underway and production targets are being met. Delivery is slated for late 2023, but you can already reserve your own C1X with a $73 deposit. The company hasn’t listed a price yet, but we’d expect it to run well north of the $3,695 you’d splash out for the brand’s e-bike flagship, the Super73-RX.

Needs passenger pegs!

100 miles of range.... at 30mph.

That range will drop to 40 or less at highway speeds.

Holy fuck, is that ugly.

Holy fuck, is that ugly.

Inspired by Rupp LOL

Holy fuck, is that ugly.

Better graphics, loose the hugger, a better seat, and do an extended swingarm (super easy with no chain) and I could see it looking a lot better

I see you two have differing aesthetic tastes LOL

i sent it to a buddy of mine... "not into it. looks like a box on wheels"

still love it. just enough old skool simplicity with a bit of modern lines an asymmetry up front.

it will repel quite a few riders for sure.

if i was designing it, i would have angled the battery box/mid section a bit more to get some forward momentum feel. a set of mini moto tubless mags would do some good as well.

Also important to add that one is a designer and one likes ATVs.

I kid, I kid.

..... and do an extended swingarm (super easy with no chain).....

I'll be interested to see how the public responds to 75mph electric minimotos with no plates.

Style-wise, just replace all the matte black and graphics with mirror vinyl.

Are sticky tires available in that size?

Ha! I didn't even notice he posted that!

Ive seen hopped up versions of the older model and they absolutely screw. Pretty much unbeatable in a stop light grand prix. This seems to have even more potential.
Its really blurring the lines of being an ebike or a motorcycle/scooter/moped. Looks damn near identical to a Navi.

my bad, misunderstood this

there's been a bunch of controversy with these...i've been following them and there are a bunch of people who have had their deposits (or full $5k payment) refunded due to lack of transparency/lying about the progress of the production schedule...changes to the bike...changes to the battery...changes to the weight (with no effect on performance or range)...etc

i'd be on board with one of these c1x bikes as well......seems like a low cost bike that would be fun to rip around on...does it have a removable battery like the sondors?...i like the idea of being able to just pull the battery out of the bike easily and bring it inside to charge

Not that I'm in the market or anything. But if I was I'd start here:

It requires MC registration and license.

I reserved one. Fuck it.
