Moped-Style
The Super73 effect

Banana seats, moto bars, fat 20-inch rubber. The category that made e-bikes cool, and the one where the copycats now outnumber the original.

$1,995
Motor750W nominal hub
Battery48V 960Wh
Range40-75 mi
Top speed28 mph unlocked
Weight73 lbs

The bike that created the category. Every other entry on this page is measured against it.

  • App-based ride modes, four classes on tap including an unlocked off-road mode
  • Resale value nothing else in the category comes close to

Super73 RX

$3,495
Motor1,000W peak hub
Battery48V 960Wh
SuspensionFull, inverted fork
Top speed28 mph
Weight84 lbs

The full-suspension flagship. Where Super73 stops being a lifestyle bike and starts being a machine.

  • Inverted front fork and rear shock — the only Super73 that soaks up real terrain
  • Moto-grade wheels and brakes to match the extra speed
  • The halo model that sells the rest of the lineup

Super73 ZX

$1,495
Motor500W nominal hub
Battery48V 615Wh
Range25-40 mi
Top speed20 mph
Weight68 lbs

The cheapest way to a real Super73 badge, and the one most teenagers actually end up on.

  • Same visual language as the S2 for a third less money
  • Class 2 out of the box — the sane choice for a younger rider
  • Smaller battery is the honest trade; plan on 25 miles, not 40

ONYX RCR

$5,499
Motor5,400W peak
Battery80V 45Ah
Range55-75 mi
Top speed60+ mph
Weight150 lbs

The cult king. Still the fastest thing in the category and still built in California.

  • 80V architecture — nothing else in the moped class runs this voltage
  • 60mph on a bike with pedals. Off-road and private land only, obviously
  • Waitlists and hype cycles have followed this thing for years

$3,899

Battery72V 25Ah
Range40-60 mi
Top speed40 mph
Weight130 lbs

The RCR's sensible sibling — most of the presence, half the price, actually street-usable.

  • US-built at a price that undercuts the imported competition
  • Moto-grade frame and suspension, city-legal gearing
  • The one ONYX you might genuinely commute on

CertsUL 2849

The YouTube favourite. Dual battery, 3.2kW, and a UL certification most of its rivals skip.

  • Dual-battery as standard — the range figure is one of the few that holds up
  • UL 2849 certified, which is rare at this power level
  • Huge aftermarket and a very loud owner community

Range30–60 miles
Top speed28+ mph (Class 2, unlockable)
Weight93 lbs

The value benchmark. Full suspension moped for under two grand, and it undercuts everything with a comparable spec.

  • Full suspension at a price where rivals give you a hardtail
  • Unlockable to 37mph off-road
  • Ride1Up's support reputation is the quiet reason this keeps selling

Range30–60 miles (more with 2nd battery)
Top speed28+ mph (Class 2, unlockable)
Weight91 lbs

The dirt-biased Revv1 — longer travel, knobbier rubber, for people using the moped like a mini dirt bike.

  • Longer-travel fork and moto tires over the standard FS
  • Same drivetrain and battery, so the value story holds
  • The pick if the riding is more fire road than bike lane

  • Full suspension with a torque-sensing feel that most mopeds lack

  • Worth knowing Juiced's turbulent recent history before you buy

Range85–105 mi
Top speed28 mph (Class 3 pedal-assist)
Weight116 lbs

60V in a moped chassis. The bike that proved a small brand could out-spec Super73 on paper and undercut it on price.

  • 60V system with 2,000W peak — a full class above the S2
  • Dual headlights and moto styling that reads far more expensive
  • Ariel Rider's PPB (pedal-powered brake) variants add another gear

Range30–50 mi (single) / 55–90 mi (dual)
Top speed28+ mph
Weight103 lb (single) / 115 lb (dual)

The under-$1,000 entry point. Not the best bike here, but the one that gets the most people into the category.

  • Moped looks at a price that competes with department-store bikes
  • Heybike's warranty and US support beat most bikes at this price
  • Expect Class 2 speeds — this is a cruiser, not a canyon carver

Rad Power RadRunner 3 Plus

The best-selling moped-shaped e-bike in American history — and the reason the category went mainstream.

  • Utility-moped hybrid: passenger seat, running boards, front rack
  • Rad is still the most-listed brand on the US used market
  • The December 2025 bankruptcy filing is the catch — support and warranty are the open question

The design-forward outlier. Steel frame, US assembly, and a look nobody else is doing.

  • Hand-built steel frame in a category of stamped aluminium
  • The cleanest-looking bike on this page, by a distance
  • Small brand — check lead times before you order
