A properly fitting ANSI or SNELL, (or CE if you are located in Europe), approved bicycle safety
helmet should be worn at all times when riding your bicycle, or recommended per your local laws.
Always wear a properly fitted helmet that covers the forehead when riding a bicycle. Many states
require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the
state where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself
and your bike as the law requires.
Reflectors are important safety devices that are designed as an integral part of your bicycle.
Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear, wheel, and pedal
reflectors. These reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect street-lights and car lights in
a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. Check reflectors and
their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken, and securely
mounted.
For optimum braking performance, Super73 bikes are equipped with Tektro hydraulic
disc brakes. See video on our website on how to adjust: www.super73.com/pages/
owners or Tektro brake adjustment manuals on www.tektro.com.
The Super73 brake orientation is as follows:
Rear brake = right lever
front brake = left lever

On a hydraulic disc brake, pad wear is compensated automatically. Simply check the
alignment of the pads with the disc, and check that the wheel is fully pushed back. Good
alignment ensures the absence of noise and a normal wear of the pads.
To ensure maximum service life of the brake components, avoid contamination of the
pads and the disc by greasy substances.
Regularly check the condition of your cables, ducts or harness and the wear of your
pads. Some discs are only compatible with “resin” pads. Do not use a metal pad with
discs marked “Resin”.
For better ergonomics and safety, we advise you to adjust the brake levers in a position
that places it as a natural extension of the user’s arms. If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact Super73.
Brakes are an integral part of the operation of your bike and must be properly
maintained, adjusted, and replaced. if any of the below is not within your skill set we
recommend taking your bike to an E-bike specialist or professional cycle mechanic
Hydraulic brake lines require maintenance not only on the pads and rotors but also on
the hydraulic brake line. Brake pad replacement, check to see if the rotor and pads have
contact with each other.
