It depends on when your bike was purchased and first paired with the Super73 app. Older Super73 models allowed riders to select higher-speed ride modes through the official app. However, newer bikes paired after Super73's policy changes are generally restricted to the class in which they were originally sold. Always check your local laws before attempting to modify your bike.

Super73 has become one of the world's most recognizable lifestyle e-Bike brands thanks to its distinctive motorcycle-inspired styling and loyal community of riders. That popularity has also made Super73 one of the strongest-performing brands on the second-hand market, helping owners achieve attractive trade-in valuations.
Whether you own a Super73 ZX, S2, RX Mojave, Z Adventure or another model, trading in your bike is often quicker and far less hassle than selling privately. In this article, I explain why Super73 e-Bikes retain their value so well, how much you could receive for your trade-in, and how Upway's Trade-In Program works.

Why are Super73 e-Bikes such great trade-in options?
Super73 e-Bikes are an excellent trade-in option for several reasons.
The laid-back, motorcycle-inspired styling of the Super73 has made it one of the most instantly recognisable e-Bike brands on the market. That distinctive design has helped create a cult following, making Super73 models highly desirable on the second-hand market.
Demand for Super73 remains extremely strong, with the Super73 S2 and Super73 ZX regularly featuring among the top-selling e-Bikes on the Upway website.
If you check the Super73 website and authorized retailers, you'll see that many Super73 models—including the S2 and ZX—are either out of stock or available only on pre-order. This limited availability naturally pushes more buyers towards the refurbished and second-hand market, helping to support resale values and trade-in prices.
Super73 owners also tend to be particularly loyal to the brand, because let’s be honest, it's the OG of moto-style e-Bikes. Many riders looking to upgrade choose another Super73 model rather than switching manufacturers, creating a healthy cycle of repeat buyers and sustained demand.
Finally, the combination of distinctive styling, strong brand recognition and consistently high demand means Super73 e-Bikes typically attract plenty of interest when they come onto the used market. That's good news for Super73 owners looking to trade in, as stronger demand generally translates into more competitive valuations.
How much will I get for my Super73 if I trade it in?
That depends on a range of factors, including the model, age, battery health, mileage, and overall condition of your Super73 e-Bike.
However, we currently have quite a few examples of the Super73 range on our website, so you can get a good idea of current market prices simply by browsing our listings. In July 2026, examples include:
- Super73 ZX (2022, 1,014 miles) – $1,949
- Super73 S2 (2022, 16 miles) – $2,349
- Super73 Z1 (2023, 549 miles) – $1,499
- Super73 RX Mojave (2023, 5 miles) – $2,499
- Super73 Z Adventure SE (2024, 336 miles) – $2,249
Remember that these are resale prices. Trade-in values will naturally be lower because Upway must refurbish every bike, complete its comprehensive 50-point inspection, and provide a warranty before offering it for sale.
One other factor to consider is whether your Super73 has been modified. Bikes that have been unlocked to access higher-speed modes or fitted with aftermarket components can sometimes be less attractive to second-hand buyers, particularly those looking for a bike that remains in its original factory specification. As a result, modified bikes may receive lower trade-in valuations than an equivalent unmodified model, although every bike is assessed individually.
The time of year can also affect valuations. Demand for electric bikes typically increases during spring and early summer as more people begin riding again, often resulting in stronger trade-in offers.
New model launches can also influence resale values. As Super73 releases updated models, previous generations naturally become less valuable as they enter the used market.
How do I trade in my Super73 electric bike?
You can trade in your Super73 through Upway's Trade-In Program. Simply bring your Super 73 into one of 200 independent bike shops that have partnered with Upway to begin the trade-in process.
The retailer can access Upway's real-time pricing platform to provide a trade-in valuation for your e-Bike within minutes. If you accept the offer, you'll receive an instant trade-in credit towards the purchase of another e-Bike from that participating retailer. It's that simple!
What if there isn't a participating store near where I live?
You can still sell your bike through Upway.
Simply complete the online valuation form with details about your bike's make, model, specifications and condition. You'll receive a no-obligation valuation, and if you accept the offer, Upway will arrange free collection or shipping. Once your bike has been inspected and verified, you'll receive payment together with a $150 voucher towards the purchase of another bike through Upway.
Should I buy a replacement battery or trade in for a new Super73?
If your battery is nearing the end of its life, it's worth asking whether replacing it is really the best investment.
A genuine replacement battery is a significant purchase. Depending on the age and overall condition of your Super73, putting that money towards a newer model may offer much better value. Not only will you get a fresh battery, but you'll also benefit from the latest motor technology, updated electronics, improved components and a new warranty.
Trading in also removes the hassle of selling privately. Rather than investing hundreds of dollars into an aging bike, you can receive a competitive trade-in offer, upgrade immediately and let your existing Super73 begin a second life with its next owner.
Of course, if your bike is otherwise in excellent condition and you're happy with its performance, replacing the battery could still be the right decision. It ultimately comes down to the bike's age, the cost of the replacement battery, and how long you intend to keep riding it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unlock my Super73 to Class 3 using the app?
Will unlocking my Super73 affect its resale or trade-in value?
It can. While some enthusiasts actively seek unlocked bikes, many buyers prefer an unmodified bike that remains in its original factory specification, especially considering increasing scrutiny and regulation around modified and high-powered e-Bikes. Retailers are facing scrutiny and also need to consider regulations when handling low-powered e-Bikes, so modified bikes can sometimes be less attractive and may receive a lower trade-in valuation than an equivalent standard model.
Does my Super73 have to be in perfect condition?
No. Cosmetic wear and normal signs of use are expected on a used bike. However, its overall condition, mileage, battery health, service history, and components will all influence its valuation.
