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.
