The Lightning Powered Surf Machine” is one of the first things you’ll encounter when delving into Super73’s latest release. But, true to their collaborative spirit, Super73 didn’t embark on this venture alone; they partnered with Howler Brothers, a Texas-based apparel company.
For those unfamiliar, Howler Brothers is all about embracing the outdoors with a unique blend of influences, describing themselves as a fusion of elements like a Kung Fu surf movie set in the Wild West with a dub reggae soundtrack, starring your closest friends.
With this blend in mind, it’s no wonder that the Surf Machine embodies a mash-up of diverse elements, some seemingly unrelated to urban environments. Who needs a surfboard rack for commuting? Well, as the saying goes, it’s better to have it and not need it than the other way around.
However, despite its unconventional features, the Surf Machine boasts some impressive capabilities and features. Built on Super73’s tried-and-tested S2 platform, known for its customization potential, this electric bike offers versatility. From its Molle rack for attaching accessories to the integrated surfboard rack and even a flyrod holder, it’s geared for urban adventure.
The design reflects its inspiration from desert and surfing landscapes, with sandy tones dominating the frame, battery pack, and even the tire walls. Balanced with black components, including a distinctive leather seat, it exudes a rugged yet stylish “Baja cruiser” aesthetic.
So, who is the Surf Machine for? If the thought of it brought a smile to your face, you might have found your urban mobility soulmate. Despite its unconventional appearance, this machine caters to surfers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a unique and fun way to navigate the urban jungle.
While priced at $3,800, it offers a chance to be part of Super73’s growing community, a feeling as exhilarating as catching the perfect wave or reeling in a big catch.
