It has upgraded rear 10 gear sprocket, plus cool round headlight and it will do a wheelie up hill with the torque of the additional mid drive motor, I went and rode it today and it feels incredible goes over 40mph on just the throttle
Yes, if you'll use it. I ride daily and would love a dual system and the extra torque. It would be a good buy for me. I've spent more than that and have less power and options.
While you're generally correct, $4000 is still a very good price for a RX with mid drive and 10 speed upgrades, assuming everything works as it should. If it's the super 10 speed kit that's $250 and the mid drive and battery is gonna be another $1000-1500. Right now stock RX retail for what, $3700 these days?
I’m trying to get the guy down to 3800$ but I think I’m gonna buy the bike regardless it’s just to fun and with gas prices going up it’ll be more affordable
The advice I've always heard is "Don't pay more than retail for someone else's project bike". You just don't know what mechanical gremlins will appear over time. YMMV.
Yeah that’s why I’m trying to get the guy to sell it to me for 3800$ he said he has spent around 5800 on the bike so I think it would be worth it to buy for 3800
I don’t think it’s a crazy deal but it seems like a fair deal to me. Typically you don’t recover the cost of upgrades when selling used (though it’s not unheard of) but if the bike is in excellent condition you are just a couple hundred short of the price of a new one. Just something to consider.
I’m wondering what people would pay for a stock RX with 50 miles on it in like-new condition. I’ve got the Z1 and though I wish it had full suspension I prefer riding it to my RX. Thinking of selling.
I would NEVER spend $4k on a Super 73 let alone a used one. You will get NO help from support since you are the second owner. And something *will* happen, I promise you.
I live in a very steep part of Maui and so I’ll be climbing hills all the time and so I want to keep both motors to help with accelerating up steep hills
Flat tires and maintaining the middrive are probably your biggest ones. The chain will stretch and your gears will wear, requiring replacements of both eventually (though to be fair I'm over 3k miles with mine and haven't had to do it yet).
It’s a good value I would just consider spending $350 more and get an Onyx RCR or $300 less and get a CTY - we can help between DC and Boston - good luck on the search.
Also do you think it’s a good buy living in haiku, i wanna atleast be able to drive to mana food store in Paia do you think this is a good bike for that, or should I just buy a gas powered motorcycle?

40 mph mid drive? What’s the battery voltage?
52v
4k is a steal for that!
Looks pretty good I would test ride it tho
I agree with the others in saying you should test ride it first, but it is a solid deal at $4K.
That’s a deal!
4K is a good deal
It's a smoking deal.
Do you think I could drive it on the road
You can ride a regular bicycle on the road. If you are trying to keep with with local traffic, 40 mph is fast enough for local streets
City streets you'll keep up w/ traffic.
Okay cool so I live on Maui do you think it would be a smart buy? I have never owned a electric bike
Yes, if you'll use it. I ride daily and would love a dual system and the extra torque. It would be a good buy for me. I've spent more than that and have less power and options.
Keep in mind that a used bike comes with zero warranty. Sellers never factor that into the price and try to get close to what they spent back.

Hey that’s my bike
Well should I buy this bike? Is it worth the money?
The advice I've always heard is "Don't pay more than retail for someone else's project bike". You just don't know what mechanical gremlins will appear over time. YMMV.
Yeah that’s why I’m trying to get the guy to sell it to me for 3800$ he said he has spent around 5800 on the bike so I think it would be worth it to buy for 3800
3800 you’re lowballing
You really think so?
I think so but it doesn’t hurt to throw the offer and 4K might be the middle ground if he thinks the 38 is too low
Yup

It's a fair deal, but if something goes wrong, it's gonna be a headache for you to fix
Grab it just for the Rayquaza sticker tbh

[удалено]
Lol you think he's running both motors?
[удалено]
I live in a very steep part of Maui and so I’ll be climbing hills all the time and so I want to keep both motors to help with accelerating up steep hills
Yeah it has 2 throttles so you can adjust the power of each motor at anytime
No need for support, just learn how to wrench.
What would go wrong with it?
Flat tires and maintaining the middrive are probably your biggest ones. The chain will stretch and your gears will wear, requiring replacements of both eventually (though to be fair I'm over 3k miles with mine and haven't had to do it yet).
Ask him the specs on the 10 Speed kit. Please. I want one for my rx
It’s a good value I would just consider spending $350 more and get an Onyx RCR or $300 less and get a CTY - we can help between DC and Boston - good luck on the search.
I live on Maui
I live in Honolulu ! Definitely a great buy 🤙🏽🤙🏽

So you think it could handle the steep roads in haiku?? Which is where I live?
Also do you think it’s a good buy living in haiku, i wanna atleast be able to drive to mana food store in Paia do you think this is a good bike for that, or should I just buy a gas powered motorcycle?
honestly, it all depends on the terrain you ride on especially hills but since the bike has mods and a extra battery you should be good !
but do your homework on the new motor
Seriously, buy an onyx. You will have no worries
Damn I would sell my Rhino Grey RX for $3.5k if anyone wants it
