E-BIKES

BUDGET-CONSCIOUS Z SERIES
For the budget-conscious buyer, the SUPER73-Z Series offers several options, including the brand new SUPER73-Z Miami, which packs a swathe of technology. Priced at $1995, this Neighborhood Explorer has a lightweight aluminum frame, removable battery for convenient charging, and a 1200 watt (peak power) motor for extra performance. Thanks to the SUPER73 phone app, the Z Miami can be ridden in four different class and riding modes, providing speeds in excess of 28mph in the unlimited setting. Battery range is in excess of 50 miles when ridden in ECO mode with pedal assist. And, like all SUPER73 models, you don’t need a license, insurance or registration to ride it. If you can ride a bicycle, a SUPER73 e-bike will be a breeze.

The SUPER73-Z Miami will comfortably accommodate riders from 4’6” to 5’11” thanks to a comfortable 28” seat height. But if Dad is taller, the SUPER73-ZX has a slightly larger frame and its 31” seat height is designed for taller riders.

Priced at $2195, the ZX similarly has an aircraft-aluminum frame, redesigned seat, removable battery and 1200 watt (peak power) motor. Charged from any 110v outlet, the SUPER73-ZX will provide more than 35 miles of range in Class 2 mode at 20mph under throttle-only operation. However, the range can be extended to more than 50 miles* using ECO pedal assist mode. Four riding modes are again accessible through the SUPER73 phone app, which works with the onboard LCD display to provide turn-by-turn navigation for urban exploration, as well as speed, battery charge and more.

ADVENTUROUS R SERIES
At the other end of the SUPER73 spectrum, the R Series represents the pinnacle of the company’s current offerings. While the prices are higher, so is the specification; with full suspension, the most powerful motors and large disc brakes among the highlights.

For the Performance Adventurer who enjoys the journey as much as the destination, the $3695 SUPER73-RX Mojave is a great choice. The aircraft-grade aluminum frame houses the company’s most powerful engine at 2000 watts (peak), which allows the highest top speed in the off-road mode and is accessible through the phone app. It also has the largest, removable battery at 960 watt-hours, which provides more than 40 miles at 20mph using throttle activation (Class 2 mode) or in excess of 75 miles in ECO pedal assist mode. Charging time is approximately 6-7 hours with the supplied 3-amp charger, or 3-4 hours with an available 5-amp charger.

Equipped with an inverted coil spring front fork with air assist and adjustable damping, plus an adjustable coilover mono shock at the rear, the RX can tackle mixed terrain, providing the most comfortable ride thanks to its low-profile Speedster seat. This capable platform is fitted with a powerful four-piston brake caliper and a large 203mm front rotor, with 180mm on the rear. Equipped with chunky GRZLY tires, the SUPER73-RX is a great choice for family rides and light off-road excursions.

The SUPER73-R Brooklyn has a lower price point at $3495 and a very similar specification to the RX but is defined as a Performance Street bike thanks in part to its LZRD tires, which are better suited to city streets. It has the same powerful engine and battery as the RX as well as the four selectable riding modes to suit your needs or local byelaws. The front brakes use two-piston calipers and a 180mm rotor, while the suspension offers an inverted coil spring front fork and non-adjustable rear mono shock. Fitted with a chromoly Drago handlebar and low-profile Speedster seat plus the most powerful 1100-lumen LED headlight of any SUPER73 model, the R Brooklyn is fully equipped for both exploration and commuting.

The SUPER73-R series models are perfect for the born racer; the Dad who likes to push the boundaries whether he’s on the bike path or the path less traveled.

They gather around the country for group rides and activities. This is a great way for Dad and the whole family to get out and explore their local area with fellow enthusiasts

SKATEBOARDS

Let’s face it, the 80’s and 90’s were a much simpler time. No phones, less tech, and activities like longboarding and skating gave a sense of freedom that we could spend time endlessly outdoors with our friends. Now you can relive those times with dad.

Fast forward to today and longboards have made a big comeback and are trending higher than ever. Magneto Boards has as its mission to encourage everyone to put down the tech and jump into a new, healthy hobby – doing it in carefully crafted entry-level skate and longboards.

Whether dad is a seasoned vet or this will be his first time on a board, there are many options for every type of skater:

Beginner Boards are great for those new to skating and who want to explore at their own pace.

• Cruiser Boards are traditional longboards that are perfect for cruising around your neighborhood, or at a favorite park or by the beach.
• Mini Cruisers Are a great option to skate around the neighborhood and for dad to take with during a daily commute.
