    SUPER73’s K1D offers regenerative braking to unlock confidence and freedom for kids while making riding safe and fun

    SUPER73, the American lifestyle adventure brand specializing in electric motorbikes, announced that European and UK pre-orders are available for its first youth series vehicle, the K1D. Developed with a perfectly complemented blend of fun and safety, the SUPER73 K1D offers a best-in-class electric balance bike option for kids ages four to eight. The K1D retails for €1199 on the SUPER73EU website and will ship to customers starting in July 2024.

    Available in four colorways, the K1D’s design was influenced by 80’s BMX and Motocross culture to create a neo-retro balance bike with a 60-minute playtime. Further separating itself from the competition, SUPER73 emphasized a technology-focused theme throughout the kid’s electric balance bike, including innovative technology such as regenerative braking and the safest battery in any kid’s balance bike.

    A critical feature of the SUPER73 K1D is the first-in-class, innovative regenerative braking, which is only available in this model and the soon-to-be-launched C1X. The basic idea of regenerative braking is that when a rider releases the throttle, the vehicle will use the electric motor to flow current back into the battery, slowing down the vehicle and charging the battery. This feature means longer-lasting brakes, more range on the battery, and an inherent safety measure put in place to further protect the youth who can modulate speed with the throttle alone.

    Furthering the safety protocols and technological innovation implemented in the K1D, the electric balance bike features a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LiFe PO4) that is resistant to thermal events, allowing riders to continue charging the battery in all weather conditions.

    The K1D’s battery charges in 45 minutes, exponentially faster than its competitors’ typical four-hour charge time. Additionally, Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries have two times the battery life than existing competitor’s batteries.

    SUPER73’s K1D:

    • Get Comfortable – K1D comes equipped with a motorcycle- and motocross-inspired seat style.
    • Ride in Your Own Style – Living up to SUPER73’s standard of high-end finish and design, the K1D features an exclusive hexagon pattern on the gum wall tires and the handlebar grips, making the throttle highly visible, while riders can choose between Blu Tang, Sriracha Red, Obsidian, and Prickly Pink color options.
    • Grow With The Bike – The K1D offers removable hexagon patterned foot platforms, removable and adjustable oversized pegs for two different positions, and multiple handlebar options to fit the height of riders.
    • Class Modes For Speed Modulation – Three different class modes allow riders to learn the fundamentals of an electric balance bike at a lower speed, and then boost performance as comfort and experience increase.

    Similar to our current offerings, two standard modes will be easily accessible by the rider, with a locked and secured third “Track Mode” mode for the more advanced competitors on closed courses.

    Through the launch of K1D, SUPER73 wants to help educate kids on appropriate rider safety at an early age by teaching them the proper way to ride, along with other safety measures from the start. As riders grow, they will graduate from the K1D to other SUPER73 models targeted at an older age demographic armed with the experience, knowledge, and education to ride properly and safely.

    Stromer continues to advance its high-performance e-bike legacy with the introduction of the ST5 Pinion edition, a model that builds upon the features of the 2020 ST5 ABS model. This new iteration incorporates automated Pinion gear-shifting, enhancing the electric cycling experience. The core of the ST5 Pinion is a sophisticated collaboration between human and machine, where Pinion’s electronic Smart Shift system efficiently selects optimal gear ratios among nine speeds. Stromer’s anti-lock brakes contribute to stability during braking, preventing traction compromise.

    In addition to its functional features, the ST5 Pinion includes integrated audio alerts for actions like startup sequences or charging status. These audible cues add to the bike’s overall sophistication. The inclusion of a Gates Carbon Belt Drive and a 750-watt rear hub motor contributes enhanced efficiency and power. The bike is equipped with Bluetooth and cellular connectivity, enabling GPS tracking and over-the-air updates.

    The ST5 Pinion ensures safety with head and tail lights for both day and night use, coupled with TRP hydraulic disc brakes for robust stopping power on varied terrains. Despite pushing the boundaries of performance and technology, the ST5 Pinion maintains an elegant aesthetic, featuring handmade grips, a Selle Royal saddle, and recyclable carbon fenders that reflect a dedication to luxury craftsmanship.

    Available in limited edition hues starting at $11,990, the ST5 Pinion is a truly impressive electric bicycle, blending electronic intelligence with considered design. This model, recently released in Europe, is now available in North America in Launch Edition red or Aventurine green for US$11,990.
