the rst ride. Please note the following symbols:

WARNING! Warnings, precautions, and potential risks associated with the use of your Super73.
Danger! Possible dangers for your life and health if respective calls to action are ignored.
Tip! Recommendation! Meaningful additional information.

Please perform a safety check before each use, as described in the section “Before the First
Ride, Safety Check” of this owner manual.

We recommend taking your Super73 to a certied E-Bike specialist
or bicycle dealer for assembly.

DANGER! !Do not ride with a bike that has not passed 100% safety verication before each ride

as described in the section “Before the First Ride, Safety Check” of this owner manual.

Note that explanations of the operations to be performed and tips provided here can, for
various reasons, including the experience and skills in the mechanics of the person to execute

them, require the use of additional (specic) tools or rely on prerequisites not described in this

guide.

DANGER!! This owner’s manual includes assembly and maintenance work which may need

to be done before a required inspection is due, which needs to be carried out by a specialist
dealer. Never perform work on your Super73 beyond instructions in this manual. Do NOT ride
your E-Bike if it has been assembled incorrectly. Maintenance beyond what the Owner’s Manual
instructs is to be handled by an E-Bike specialist. Riding an incorrectly assembled bike can put
your own safety at risk as well as others.

If you feel uncertain about proper conguration after assembling your Super73 according to the

provided assembly instructions, please contact your specialized retailer or Super73 directly. We
will help you willingly.

IN THE PACKAGING

In the packaging, you will nd the following tools & hardware:

1 x two-sided open end wrench with a 15mm end for pedals
and a 13mm end for the fender bolts
1 x 5mm Allen key or wrench
1 x set of pedals
1 x handlebar
1 x set of reectors
1 x battery charger

GOOD TO KNOW:

• Bolts for the handlebars mount are M6 X 12mm socket head cap screws

• Do not sit on the bike with kickstand engaged.

• Right pedal has the letter “R” inscribed on it, the left pedal has the letter “L” inscribed on it.

• 5mm Allen key can also be used to adjust brakes.

• Tire tubes are 20”x4”-1/4” but 20”x4” also work (with Schrader valve)

DANGER!

In this manual, the minimal torques of tightening are indicated in Nm. Do not trust your

feeling: even if it looks well xed, it may not be the case. Only a torque wrench guarantees the

exact tightening of the screws. To do this, always use this type of key and respect the torques
indicated in this manual. Too little or too tight screws can cause fractures. They can cause falls
and serious injuries.

Super73 reserves the right to make changes at any time without prior notice, or obligation.
