California-based e-bike manufacturer Super73 recently unveiled its latest collab with the fashion brand Period Correct. The two have created a custom, limited-edition bike based on the Super73 S1 model and inspired by the Alpina B9.
As explained by the bike manufacturer, the custom wheeler tries to blend modern convenience with a classic, timeless design inspired by the details of the Alpina B9 car.

The special edition Super73 S1 has its frame, fenders, and battery painted in a deep blue, with the Period Correct logo being displayed in silver on the casing of the battery.

Paying homage to the Alpina interior, the seat features premium, vintage upholstery, with contrasting blue and green fabrics that are both eye-catching as well as durable. Origin8 provided a set of Rascal pedals while the grips are Lizard Skins Northshore Lock-On.

There’s also that familiar aluminum cargo rack which is a standard on all S1 bikes, and you can upgrade to an extended seat or buy other useful accessories to go with it.

The S1 is equipped with a 768 Wh battery that offers a range of approximately 25 miles (40 km) at 20 mph (32 kph) under throttle-only operation. That range can increase to more than 35 miles (56 km) if you are using the ECO pedal-assist mode of the bike.

Super73 equipped the S1 with Tektro hydraulic disk brakes, for increased control and less effort.

All Super73 S1 bikes come in just one size and are designed to accommodate riders between 4’10" and 6’2” (147 and 188 cm) while the weight limit of the S1 is 275 lb (124.7 kg.) The bike is equipped with 20x4.25” all-terrain tires.

With this Super73 and Period Correct custom bike being a limited-edition one, only 15 units are available for purchase. You can pre-order the bike on the Period Correct website for $3,000. The estimated delivery time is six to eight weeks.
