SUPER73 Launches Its Most Affordable E-Bike Yet: The MZFT
🆕 Early-Look Review – First-look based on limited early information
SUPER73 has introduced its newest model — the MZFT, a more affordable, moto-inspired e-bike built to bring younger riders into the brand. At $1,995, it’s now the lowest-priced full-size model in SUPER73’s lineup.
The MZFT aims to capture the same fun, rugged feel of the company’s popular R and Z series, but in a smaller, lighter, and slightly more practical design.
Key Specs and Features
- Motor: 500 W rear-hub motor (20 mph top speed, Class 2 compliant)
- Battery: 52 V / 10 Ah (520 Wh) removable pack with ~15–20 mile range
- Optional Second Battery: Extends range up to 40 miles
- Frame: Thru-axle build with low 27″ seat height for comfort and easy mounting
- Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes
- Tires: Vee Jakal street tires for stability and grip
- Lighting: Integrated front and rear LED lights
- Weight: About 85 lb — heavier than most commuter bikes
- Colors: “Cullen Berry” (deep red) and “Titanium Ore” (metallic gray)
Who the MZFT Is For
This model sits between SUPER73’s youth bikes and its full adult lineup. It’s meant for riders who want a throttle-ready, moto-inspired ride that’s still manageable.
Best suited for:
- Teens and college riders
- Short-distance city commuters
- Beginners entering the e-bike world
- Anyone who values style and comfort over long range
Because it’s Class 2, it stays street-legal in most U.S. states without registration — a plus for new riders.
Battery Care and Charging Tips
The 52 V lithium-ion battery should be treated with care to stay healthy. Avoid charging to 100% daily; aim for 40–80% for longer battery life.
If you store your bike in colder weather, bring the battery indoors and charge it monthly.

You can also pair your charger with a smart e-bike charger that lets you stop charging at 80%, helping preserve battery cells and reduce heat buildup.
How It Stacks Up
The MZFT competes with other mid-range e-bikes like:
- Lectric XP 3.0 ($1,199–$1,399): Folding design, longer range, less style
- Ride1Up Turris ($1,395): More pedal-friendly geometry
- Velotric Discover 2 ($1,799): Lighter frame and better range
SUPER73 is banking on its brand identity and design appeal — features that make the ride feel more like a lifestyle than just transport.
My Take
SUPER73 is doing the right thing by making its bikes more reachable. The MZFT keeps that signature bold design while dropping the price closer to the everyday rider range.
However, “affordable” is still relative. At nearly $2,000, it’s in the mid-tier zone, not entry-level. The range (15–20 miles) and weight (85 lb) might be limiting for long-distance commuters. But for riders who want fun, personality, and style, this is an exciting option.
For new e-bike owners, it’s worth comparing with lighter models under $1,500 before buying. If you value that distinct SUPER73 feel, though, the MZFT won’t disappoint.
