Super73 took the C1X concept ebike and transformed it into a scrambler and café racer concept for EICMA 2023. The El Jefe Scrambler and Super Le Pew café racer use the same motor, battery, and basic proportions of the original, but see a significant overhaul in the visual department.

    It’s a super compact ebike - basically a suitcase with wheels but it’s just at $1,000. Personally I’d love to get one and know full well this suitcase bike isn’t anything like the Super73 but it’s really to showcase the floor for these types of bikes:

        Sorry about that - not well versed on the difference between the classes. I originally thought an ebike was a bike with an electric motor attached, but I’ve seen quite a few articles about wheeled conveyances that I wouldnt classify as a bike being called one. My bad

          No worries, the term ebike gets thrown around pretty loosely in the media and even by manufacturers sometimes.

          Doesn’t help that it’s kind of complicated too: Classifications of different types of ebikes vary from country to country, but basically as a rough guide, if you can pedal it, it would probably be regarded as an ebike. If it’s something where you don’t pedal, it’s probably some sort of scooter.
