T
hink of the coolest parts
of a beach cruiser, your
favorite old Sting-Ray and a
mountain bike. Now throw those
together, slap in an electric power-
plant and have Roland Sands do
the graphics as the cherry on top.
Ta-da, now you have the RSD x
Super73-RX Malibu. Technically,
it's a bicycle but, compared to
most, riding this thing will have
everyone around you turning their
heads as you pedal, or throttle, by.
The RSD Super73-RX Malibu
is at the pinnacle of the brand's
"R Series" and is considered a
"moto-inspired performance racer."
Riders sit atop an aluminum frame,
on an elongated seat, with their
feet resting on traditional bicycle
pedals. The RX Malibu is delivered
as a class-two e-bike, meaning it
provides assistance when pedal-
ing or using the thumb throttle at
speeds up to 20 mph. However,
the Super73-RX can be "unlocked"
to Off-Road mode, allowing it to
hit a top speed of 28 mph.
The Super73-RX Malibu
RSD certainly stands out.
