The idea

Super73 is an American lifestyle adventure brand from Southern California which started in 2016 when a group of friends came up with the idea to develop a new kind of e-bike which was inspired by motors, mopeds and mini bikes from the 70s. From this idea the retro design of the Super73 was created and the first prototypes were produced in Tustin, Orange County. The reaction on these prototypes were very good and because of that Super73 decided to switch to full production. To scale up this production, they choose to raise money through Kickstarter.com. The goal was to raise $25,000 but because of the great success they raised over $441,461.
