Without a doubt, the Super73 R Series Brooklyn is the worst bicycle I've ever ridden. It's too small for many adults, it forces you into an awful riding position, it's unconscionably heavy, and it offers a grand total of one gear.

Riding it was also far and away the most fun I've had on an electric bike yet.

All that weight gets you a robust, dual-suspension frame and fat tires that swallow the bumps and cut confident turns on all sorts of surfaces. And it gets you a powerful motor that lets you blast away from stops despite the bike's weight. You also get a huge battery that supposedly offers a range of over 120 km when the bike is in "eco" mode-a mode nobody will ever use because it's far too much fun to rocket around with the electrical assist maxed out.
