Electrics
This part is the core of the electric bike and is also the best part to know the bike’s performance. Let’s take a look at this comparison data.
| C3strom Astro Pro | SUPER73-S2 | Comments | |
| Battery | 1040Wh (52V20Ah) SAMSUNG 21700 cells | 960Wh (48W20Ah) | As for range, the SUPER73 S2 uses Panasonic’s 960WH (48v 20Ah) battery, which has a range of about 40-75 miles. Using only level 1 pedal assist, a range of up to 75 miles can be achieved. The C3strom Astro Pro, powered by a Samsung 1040WH (52v 20Ah) battery, offers a range of up to 78 miles with level 1 PAS, which further enhances the riding experience. |
| Motor | BAFANG 750W | HENGTAI 750W | In terms of power, the C3strom Astro Pro uses the BAFANG 750W rear hub motor for stronger performance and more guaranteed quality. It has a peak power of 1400W and a top speed of 32mph. The motor delivers fast acceleration and 80Nm of torque, enough to climb hills and ride over loose terrain. The SUPER73 S2, with its branded motor, has a peak power of 1200w and a top speed of 28mph. |
| Pedal Assist | 5-Level | 5-Level | Both models feature the same pedal assist level, offering riders different riding experiences and allowing them to adjust the pedal assist level according to their preferences. |
| Charger | 52V 4 Amp | 52V 3 Amp | C3strom Astro Pro is equipped with a 4A fast charger that fully charges your battery in just 4-5 hours. This allows you to ride all day long. SUPER73 S2, on the other hand, comes standard with a 3A charger that takes 6-7 hours to fully charge the battery. The charging innovation of C3strom Astro Pro is now more in line with the industry development level. |
| Display | LCD with mobile app integration | LCD Display | The C3strom Astro Pro has an LCD and app integration system that shows you all the information, so you don’t have to scroll to find what you need. The SUPER73 S2 also has an LCD screen, but it doesn’t look as high-end and has a very simple interface. |
| Lights | integrated lighting system | Headlight and Taillight | The C3strom Astro Pro also has an excellent integrated lighting system. Headlight with 130 lux, including high beam, close-up light, turn signal, and LED tail light. This makes it much safer to ride at night. The C3strom Astro Pro is also equipped with a horn to warn nearby pedestrians to keep you safe on city streets. The SUPER73 S2 is only equipped with headlights and taillights. The C3strom Astro Pro impresses with its attention to detail and thoughtfulness. |
| USB Charger | Yes | No | The C3strom Astro Pro has a built-in USB slot hidden beneath the buttons on the display – a great convenience for riders who do not have to worry about their phone giving up the ghost while driving. However, the SUPER73 S2 is not equipped with this feature and cannot handle some emergencies. |
Mechanics
Next, we looked at the configuration parts of the bike.
| C3strom Astro Pro | SUPER73-S2 | Comments | |
| Brakes | 4 Piston Hydraulic | 2 Piston Hydraulic | The C3strom Astro Pro uses a four-piston brake system commonly used on motorcycles, which effectively prevents disc brake rotors from swinging and significantly reduces noise. The effective position of the brake pads can also be adjusted as needed to stabilize pressure and maximize riding safety. The SUPER73 S2 uses the standard two-piston hydraulic braking system found on many similar electric cars. In terms of safety and braking, the C3strom Astro Pro’s braking system is superior. |
| Gearing | 8-Speed Shimano Altus | Single Speed | The C3strom Astro Pro is powered by a Shimano Altus 8-speed transmission, which greatly improves the bike’s adaptability to different terrains and enhances the riding experience. The SUPER73 S2 is only available with a single-speed transmission, which means that uphill rides are more strenuous and less exhilarating. |
| Suspension Fork | Air Suspension Fork | Air Suspension Fork | Both e-bikes come with the same type of front suspension with locking features. The lock feature allows riders to adjust the front fork to better suit the terrain they are riding. And the C3strom Astro Pro has more mileage than the SUPER73 S2, which means riders have more riding room to absorb bumps. |
Other Components
Last but not least, it’s time to talk about some parts of the electric car itself. These features will improve your cycling experience and bring you lots of inspiration and a good mood.
| C3strom Astro Pro | SUPER73-S2 | Comments | |
| Frame | Aluminum Alloy | Aluminum Alloy | While both have aluminum frames, the C3strom Astro Pro uses today’s industry-leading design techniques. Its lines are smooth and do not lose hardness, the overall weld is tight, and you can hardly find a gap. The inner track makes the bike more elegant and tidy. However, the welding of the frame of the SUPER73 S2 is not ideal. It has obvious weld marks. The external wiring is making it look bloated and messy. |
| Carrying Capacity | 330 lbs | 325lbs | With a maximum load of up to 330 pounds, the C3strom Astro Pro can carry more gear. |
| Tires | Kenda K-Shield | BDGR | The SUPER73 S2 features BDGR tires that combine motorcycle and bicycle tire construction to improve traction, reduce road noise and increase stability. The C3strom Astro Pro uses more rugged, puncture-resistant tires. The integrated Kenda K-Shield tire liner consists of a layer of aramid and ceramic particles under the inner tread of the tire to protect the tire from sharp objects and any type of puncture. |
| Fenders | Front and Rear | Rear | The C3strom Astro Pro has front and rear mudguards so you can ride on rainy days without worrying about splashing. The SUPER73 S2 does have front and rear fenders. But the front fender, which is only half wrapped, is not there to keep mud and water out but is more of an adornment for beauty. |
| Saddle | Silicone filling | No Silicone filling | The C3strom Astro Pro seat is extra filled with silicone, which is unusual in most of its models. It provides good cushioning and shock absorption for a better riding experience. The SUPER73 S2 saddle isn’t filled with silicone, which means it can be tiring on long rides. |
Conclusion
We have found that the C3strom Astro Pro and the SUPER73 S2 are quite different in detail. But we have made some points rigorously and fairly, rather than taking sides. The C3strom Astro Pro has unique features, from an integrated lighting system to advanced body welding technology, that makes it more competitive.
