Why the Super73 Z1 is Family Friendly
The best part of the Super73 Z1 is how accessible it is for the whole family. My wife Nancy was never really into ebikes. In fact, when she rode my DIY 350 watt mid-drive bike a few years ago, she hated it. So it was a nice surprise when she hopped on the Super73 Z1 and instantly fell in love. So did I. And so did our daughter. The fun factor is instant, especially since we can do longer trips around the neighborhood with two people on the Z1 and another (usually me) riding an electric scooter. So here’s a few reasons why it’s so family friendly.
Cool Factor
The Z1 looks cool. Even if you aren’t superficial. Even if you aren’t into looks. It’s hard to deny that once you see a Super73 in person, you want to try it. It’s okay to admit it! I'm not sure how much this plays into being family friendly, but it does. I think it’s because it also looks fun. It really does put a smile on your face no matter how old you are.
Smooth Operator
The Z1 is touted as the no frills model in the Super73 lineup which is true if you’re starting from the perspective of an X Games enthusiast. For the rest of us, the Z1 packs more than enough punch without getting into nervous territory. I started to think about my DIY ebike build and why Nancy didn’t feel safe riding it. I think it’s because it has a level of unpredictability to it. It’s unfamiliar. With the Z1, that familiarity is much more apparent because it is much more predictable. There’s no confusing display screen. No pedal assist. You push the throttle and pedal when necessary. It’s smooth and predictable just like Oatley Oat Milk.
Family Matters
Something like this stays in the family. I’ve owned electric skateboards, hover boards, scooters, you name it. But after awhile, they either collect dust or I sell them because of the guilt of my neglect. The Z1 just seems like something we’ll keep around for awhile because it’s practical and it fits all of us. Five years from now, I don’t think I’ll be saying to myself, “Well, I guess I’m too old to be riding this thing”. It’s a fun ebike which creates more family moments together. And you never really know how valuable those moments are until they become memories. And we’ve had a lot of great ones while riding the Super73 Z1.
