Super73-R Adventure Series Review: Nearly Decorative ... -
The Super73-R Adventure Series provides a unique e-bike experience with its aggressive design and throttle-reliant mechanism, though it struggles with uphill journeys and comfort during pedaling. While the series might suit those desiring a mix between a traditional e-bike and an electric dirt bike, traditional cyclists might find better performance and value in other available options.

2022 Zero FXE Review: Here For a Good Time, Not a ... -
The 2022 Zero FXE, priced at $12,195, offers a fun, engaging ride with a new look. Although the 298-pound motorcycle's range isn't necessarily optimal for extended trips, promising up to 100 miles in the city and dropping to between 40-60 miles on highways, the ride quality is robust and enjoyable. The bike features an easy charging process, aesthetic design and its lightweight build compared to others is impressive, but range mileage could be improved.

The Heybike Ranger S is a high-quality, fun, and safe e-bike option for commuting or recreational riding, though signs of early wear raise some durability concerns. With nifty safety features such as bright turn signals, the e-bike is great for city riding, however, the battery readout based on voltage output rather than remaining mileage could use improvement.
