One major draw of #vanlife is the pursuit of unbridled exploration. But custom vans and RVs suitable for extended off-grid living tend to be hulking monstrosities that can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. That means bringing along an alternative mode of transportation like an e-bike to scout the viability of unpaved roads and to explore nearby towns unsuitable for large vehicles. <\/p>\n

I recently took a new $2,195 \/ \u20ac2,699 (a price that includes the tax) \u201cAgave Green\u201d Super73-ZX<\/a> home for review from the company\u2019s European HQ in Amsterdam. I tested the e-bike as both a city bike and scout for the Fiat Ducato campervan I had rented for a three-week kitesurfing adventure with my family through northern Europe. The Ducato is small by RV standards but still measures 6 meters (almost 20 feet) long and weighs nearly three tons. Since most of my destinations required travel down poorly mapped dirt roads, I had plenty of opportunities to test the Super73-ZX on a variety of terrain.<\/p>\n

My 13-year-old daughter was particularly stoked despite seeing dozens of the best e-bikes in the world pass through our home for review. But only the Super73 elicited an actual squeal of delight, so successful has the company been in marketing its California-cool mystique to her high school demographic. Not even my subsequent demonstration of the \u201cpoop shovel\u201d we\u2019d be sharing on the trip could dampen her enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

I took delivery of the Ducato, drove it home, and quickly realized the bike rack fitted to the back doors wouldn\u2019t hold the heavy e-bike and its super fat tires. And thus began my complicated relationship with the Super73-ZX.<\/p>\n
