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 disc
brakes. Tektro brake adjustment manuals are available on www.tektro.com.
The Super73 brake orientation is as follows:
Rear brake = right lever
Front brake = left lever
Brake Models: Hydraulic (HD-E350)

Brake pads: Tektro E0.

The wear of the pads on a mechanical disc brake can be regulated by unscrewing the
cable tension knob. There is a complementary adjustment of the inner pad which can
be tightened closer or removed from the disc by screwing it in or out with a 5 mm
Allen key.
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 when necessary. If any of these tasks are not
within your skill set, we recommend taking your bike to an E-Bike specialist or
professional cycle mechanic.
Mechanical brake lines require maintenance not only on the pads and rotors but also
on the mechanical brake cable.
