Casey Neistat showed up on the video by riding around what he called Tesla Cyberbike, which later is revealed to be the new Super73 bike that has been kept super-secret for a while.
The design
At the time, to hide the actual design, the bike was concealed with shell as its outer body, which reminded of Tesla Cybertruck memorable style when it was unveiled a year prior. Now that the Casey Neistat Electric Bike Super73 has made the real appearance, the world recognizes it through the laid-back style a la Southern Californian. The design of the Tesla electric bike seems to be focused on the styling of a mini bike, where you get around the town freely.
The Super73 lineup has several series: R-series, S-series, and Z-series. For now, let’s focus on the series that serves as the debut model, which is the R-series. The price point for R-series begins at $3,000 and the premium model, RX-series starts at $3,500.
