Cant we make tubeless?

Thanks for the brilliant video, explains it in perfect detail, I'll be doing this to mine S1

Has Super73 fix this issue? I just bought an S1 model.

When I had a puncture awhile back, I immediately applied this method because I saw a huge line over the tire. It's been working ever since.

Good to know thank you 🙏

Owning a Ariel Rider D and BEING ABLE TO WORK ON it is number one

anyone know if super73 has resolved this issue?

Thank you, this video was very helpful!!

So true , good job 👍👍👍

Great video! What frame stand is that?

Has Super 73 responded at all on this issue? I just preordered the S2. I hope it doesn’t have the same problem. Thanks!

I'm buying one of these wednesday, but this scares me. Their business seems kinda shady no?

Good stuff 👍👍👍

I hope you sent this to Super73 my 1st day of riding it and I dont know what to do as im not as Bike Savy as you.

your old lady and dog watched you the whole time, and didn't lift a finger to help

I was really curious if you really need the inner tubes, have the tire like cars do, i don't think it would be too difficult for the company to pull it off.

Thanks for this video because it came in hand 👍🏼

I wonder how many sales they’ve lost to not fixing this. Definitely changed my mind on this bike

I hope they’ve fixed this, I’d be furious

it happens, for all manufacturers... i am a bike mechanic, i see this all the time on all kinds of bikes... and it is from the rim liner 100%

This video is so good. Should be seen by all s73 s1 owners

You just killed me on COD

You just killed me on call of duty.

I literally did that and two days later it’s back to loosing air again

Thanks for u Vid..its great

Great video. Im on my 5th flat in 2 month. Im just disappointed at this point. Not happy at all with this product. Email them to see if they send me a new rim or something and nothing yet. I literally have to ride with a book-bag full of tools and a extra tube.

Great video helped a lot 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

3 flat tires and I just found your video. The first two were in fact punctures...rusty nail and a spring. The last flat was similar to yours shown here. I have a black S1 and I just put a new tube on. I'm thinking I should take it apart again and gets some of this tape. Thanks for making this video!

Noice video

+CalebTomplait How many mph does your bike go?

I have a Rose Ave. too, I have not had a problem yet.

Good job dude

I was going to comment that I had a similar problem but they fixed it for free.... but then I thought maybe you need some advice, 27 minute video, not good, it could have been 3 but you made it too personal, and also too detailed. Not saying I'm an expert but at least I'm honest. Hope this advice helps, cause this video was very specifically aimed at Super73 owners, just make it under 10 minutes please.

You could use a heat gun to melt the rim tape some.

Great video. Caleb . Got a sub!

What size rim tape would you say this is?

The real question is are the tire fixable even if it’s a small mark or due I have to throw it away and get a new one ?

No it was paper cut

Hi Caleb, Wonder how you are getting on with your bikes? have you had any more punctures since the rim tape modifications? Not sure if you have seen it yet but we now have a short video up of the first heavily modified Super 73 in the UK (over 20+ mods). If you haven't seen it yet you can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7-iYLyH25q6gps.html . Best wishes from the UK!

Excellent tutorial, thanks. Did everything but had an issue when I tried to get the wheel back into its slot. The tension from the chain prevents the wheel to lock into place equally on both sides. The side with the chain just wouldn't go as deep in. Is there a way to work around this?

I’m wondering if they sell these e-bikes👉 Super 73 S1 here in Australia 🇦🇺 ? 😨

Just did this fix. When mounting my rear wheel back on I centered it to the chain stays (same distance each side) but then my disc brake was rubbing and I couldnt adjust it enough to stop the rubbing. I ended up having to loosen the wheel nut and angling the wheel a little more to one side so the disc would glide through the disc brake. I didnt measure before I took it apart but maybe it wasnt centered to begin with. Did you have the same issue with the wheel having to be slightly off center so the brakes didnt rub?

Dude,nice to see a bike as dirty as mine

Good stuff. Cant wait to chg tire. 😧

Good info y’all. Thanks for video. Good stuff to know especially since i have a flat rear tire right now. But i noticed tumbleweed thorns on outside of tire. Im thinking thats primary reason for flat. We will see. Im goin to do some prevention stuff too. Gorilla tape on inner side of rim and liner between tube and tire.

This is not their fault. I'm not saying its your fault, its no ones. Bikes are not designed to be maintenance free, thats impossible. I was a bike mechanic for 7 years, been mountain biking for 15 years, every bike requires up keep. To anyone in your last video that said they're going to cancel their order because of this, please don't, thats incredibly silly. Theres no manufacturer in the world that could prevent this in every case. Seems like this is just a one case issue, I haven't seen anyone else bring it up? I'm sorry this happened to you, I think you were right to put gorilla tape on it to prevent it from happening again, but I would have just done that and left it there. I realize that the customer base for these bikes are typically people that don't ride or work on bikes because Lithium is in new unique segment of the market (which is why they've been doing so well). But please don't blame anyone, having flat tires is a part of riding any type of bike so just fix it and get back to riding. However, I'm not sold that you should be running that much pressure in a fat tire wheel, thats what you would run in a typical mountain bike wheel where fat tire mountain bikes take like 7psi or something? Keep in mind that mountain bike wheels aren't 20", they're 26"- 29" for fat tires so that extra volume allows for that, but 20-30psi sounds very high for a fat tire bike to me.

The tyres on the Super 73 v1 bikes are 4 1/4 inch wide BUT the Tyres on the S1 bikes are only 4 inch wide - Are the factory using the same rim tape for both bikes? If they are then maybe this is the reason for the excess rim tape (we cut off about 1/8 inch from both sides and now the rim tape sits fine!!). Some input from the factory would be good at this point please...

I agree totally and came to same conclusion when I had it happen to me. I was running 25 psi and it left me stranded 9 mile from home when it happened. Solution is for LC to acknowledge this issue and to send out properly sized rim tape replacements and or your solution in the mean time. Also seem to be only the rear wheels affected probably because of the extra weight from the motor and rider sitting over it. Lot of weight on the rear wheel.
