Super73 Brake Upgrade: Why the Ultra Bee Kit is a Game Changer
If you own a Super73, you already know the feeling — you're cruising at speed, you squeeze the rear brake, and the response is... underwhelming. The stock braking setup on Super73 models is one of the most common complaints in the community, and for good reason. These bikes are fast, heavy, and built for aggressive riding. The brakes need to match.
That's where the Ultra Bee Rear Brake Kit comes in. Here's why it's the single most impactful upgrade you can make to your Super73.
What's Wrong with the Stock Super73 Brakes?
The stock rear brake on most Super73 models is a mechanical disc setup — functional for casual riding, but it falls short when you're pushing the bike hard. Common issues include:
- Spongy lever feel with inconsistent modulation
- Longer stopping distances at higher speeds
- Brake fade during extended downhill sections
- Difficulty adjusting for rider preference
For a bike that can hit 45+ km/h and weighs over 60kg, these limitations aren't just annoying — they're a safety concern.
Why the Ultra Bee Kit is the Answer
The Ultra Bee Rear Brake Kit for ALL Super73 Models is a hydraulic brake upgrade that replaces the stock mechanical setup with a system that's genuinely fit for purpose. Here's what makes it stand out:
Hydraulic performance: Hydraulic brakes offer significantly better modulation and stopping power than mechanical disc brakes. You get a firm, consistent lever feel every time — no more sponginess or guesswork.
Universal Super73 fitment: This kit is designed to fit ALL Super73 models, so whether you're riding an S2, RX, Z1, or ZX, you're covered. No compatibility headaches.
Shorter stopping distances: In real-world testing, hydraulic brake upgrades consistently reduce stopping distances compared to stock mechanical setups. At the speeds Super73s travel, this margin matters.
Better feel in all conditions: Hydraulic systems are less affected by cable stretch, weather, and wear than mechanical setups. Your brakes will perform consistently whether it's your first ride or your hundredth.
Who Should Upgrade?
The Ultra Bee brake kit is a smart upgrade for virtually every Super73 rider, but it's especially important if you:
- Ride at or near top speed regularly
- Carry a passenger or heavy cargo
- Ride in urban environments with frequent stops
- Have noticed your stock brakes feeling spongy or inconsistent
- Have already upgraded your motor or battery for more speed
If you've added any performance mods to your Super73, upgrading your brakes isn't optional — it's essential. More speed demands more stopping power.
Installation: What to Expect
The Ultra Bee kit is designed for a straightforward installation. If you're comfortable with basic bike maintenance, you can handle this yourself. The kit includes all necessary hardware, and the hydraulic lines come pre-bled so you don't need to deal with brake fluid during installation.
If you're not confident doing it yourself, any local bike shop or e-bike mechanic can install it in under an hour.
The Bottom Line
The Super73 is an incredible machine, but the stock rear brake is its biggest weak point. The Ultra Bee Rear Brake Kit fixes that with a proper hydraulic upgrade that delivers the stopping power these bikes deserve. It's one of the best value-for-money upgrades available for the Super73 platform.
