Super73 Controller Upgrades by Handlworks: Performance Boosts, but Beware of Your Warranty!

If you own a Super73 eBike, chances are you love the power, style, and versatility that comes with these rides. But for some riders, stock performance just isn’t enough. Enter Handlworks, a third-party component maker that’s designed a controller upgrade for Super73 bikes that promises to push your bike’s limits.

Whether you're looking for faster acceleration or higher top speeds, Handlworks offers a controller upgrade that’s easy to install and packs a serious performance punch. But there’s one important caveat: upgrading to a Handlworks controller will void your bike’s warranty—so you’ll want to weigh the risks before making the switch.

What is the Handlworks Controller?

The Handlworks controller is a plug-and-play system that takes over the operation of your Super73 eBike. Instead of using the Super73 app to adjust ride settings, this upgraded controller comes with a new display and base tune that unlocks some serious power. It’s pre-flashed with a base tune, boosting performance to 2500W. That results in about a 30% increase in acceleration and a 10% boost in top speed compared to the stock controller.

Not only will you notice faster take-offs, but with three distinct ride modes, you can easily customize how your bike performs based on your ride conditions:

  • Mode 1: 750W power, 32 km/h top speed
  • Mode 2: 1200W power, 45 km/h top speed
  • Mode 3: 2500W power, 56 km/h top speed


With more power at your fingertips, this upgrade is perfect for riders who want a little extra zip on their daily commutes or off-road adventures.

Why Upgrade?

Aside from the obvious performance gains, the Handlworks controller eliminates the need for the Super73 app and provides you with a more responsive and simplified experience. Handlworks also plans to release firmware updates for this controller, allowing for further customization and performance adjustments. These updates will be easy to flash onto the system, ensuring that your eBike continues to evolve with your needs.

  • Easy Installation: The kit comes ready to install with a controller, harness, and display, and it integrates seamlessly with your stock Super73 bike.
  • Enhanced Ride Control: Say goodbye to the Super73 app. With Handlworks, you’ll have full control of your bike directly from the upgraded display.
  • Future-Proofing: Handlworks is committed to pushing the boundaries of eBike technology, so future updates will keep your bike on the cutting edge.

But There's a Big Catch—The Warranty

Before you jump into upgrading your Super73, there's a major thing you need to know: installing the Handlworks controller will void your warranty. That's right, any upgrades made with this aftermarket controller won’t be covered under your Super73 manufacturer warranty or by Ben Buckler Boards.

While the benefits of the upgrade are undeniable, you’re essentially trading off your warranty coverage for more power and customization. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, it’s worth considering whether the stock performance of your Super73 is good enough for your needs.

Join the Performance Revolution

Handlworks was founded by a group of former engineers and eBike experts who were passionate about taking electric mobility to the next level. By replacing the original Super73 systems with their own custom-built controller, they’ve managed to exceed OEM standards and open up a whole new world of performance possibilities for eBike owners.

While Handlworks isn’t officially affiliated with Super73, their aftermarket parts are designed specifically to work with Super73 models like the ZX, R, RX, and S2.
