It has pedals and a UL 2849-compliant battery system, but its top speed is far beyond the 28 mph ceiling of Class 3, so it does not fit any US e-bike class and is not street legal out of the box. Ride it off-road, on private property or where your local rules allow; some states offer moped or OHV registration paths. Check your state's rules before riding anywhere public.
The Pro’s frame with a friendlier motor
Same full-size chassis, same dual removable batteries, same 330 lb load rating and the same pedals — the GT73 gives up the Pro's FarDriver controller and top-end speed, and costs $500 less. Riding'times rate it 28-37 mph off a 2,400 W hub motor.
The GT73 is the bike the GT73 Pro is the "Pro" of, and the honest way to describe it is that you keep the hardware and give up the hurry. The frame, the 19-inch motorcycle wheels, the inverted fork, the dual hydraulic 180 mm brakes with EABS, the 330 lb load rating, the lights and turn signals, the pedals and cadence assist — all identical. What changes is the powertrain: a 2,400 W rear hub motor on a 48V system, rated by Riding'times at 28-37 mph against the Pro's 37-46.
It carries two removable 48V 18.2Ah packs — 1,747 watt-hours, UL 2849 compliant — and like the Pro it ships with a charger for each. The chargers are the real fine print between these two bikes: the GT73's pair are 2 A units, so a full charge takes 9-10 hours against the Pro's 5-6. If the bike will charge overnight anyway, that difference costs you nothing.
Riding'times print the same range claim on both bikes — 85 miles on throttle, 155 assisted — which is exactly why we treat it as marketing rather than measurement; the smaller pack cannot match the bigger one, and the FAQ walks through the arithmetic. Plan on around 40 real miles on throttle and be pleased when it does better.
Who is it for? A rider who wants the full-size dirt bike experience — real wheel diameter, real load rating, a frame an adult fits on — without paying for a top-end speed they may never use. At 28-37 mph it is still far beyond any US e-bike class, so the same legal line applies: off-road and private property, with moped or OHV registration where your state offers it.
Riding'times warrant it for two years including motor and electronics, battery prorated over the same period. MotorHabit is the seller of record — every claim and every question starts with us.
Everything structural is the Pro
Frame, inverted fork, rear shock, 19-inch motorcycle wheels, dual hydraulic 180 mm brakes with EABS, factory LED lighting with turn signals, pedals with cadence assist, and the same 330 lb load rating. Riding'times did not build a cheaper bike — they built one bike and offer it with two powertrains.
That matters when you shop this price point, because $1,500 usually buys a smaller frame, bicycle-derived wheels, or a load rating written for a teenager. This is the full-size machine.
Every bike ships with the free $60 Starter Pack
Two things every new rider buys in week one, already in your order: a mount so navigation stays where you can read it, and a lock so the bike stays yours.
Handlebar phone mount
- Four-corner clamp with a metal safety lock
- 360° ball-joint swivel, set it to any angle
- Fits 15 to 40 mm bars, tools-free adjustment
6 ft combination cable lock
- 6 ft braided steel cable
- Resettable 4-digit combination, no key to lose
- Frame bracket included, rides on the bike
28-37 mph, and honest about it
The 2,400 W rear hub motor runs a 48V 30A integrated controller. Riding'times quote 28-37 mph depending on road and load — a range, not a single flattering number, which we appreciate.
For context, 37 mph is still faster than anything with a US e-bike class sticker is allowed to go, and plenty for a fire road. What you give up against the Pro is the last 10 mph and the FarDriver controller's headroom — not the bike.
1,747 Wh, removable, UL 2849
Two removable 48V 18.2Ah packs, UL 2849 certified as a system, each with its own 54.6V 2A charger in the crate. Both packs charge in parallel in 9-10 hours — the one genuine spec gap against the Pro, whose 3 A chargers halve that. If the bike sleeps in a garage overnight, you will never notice.
Riding'times print the same 85/155-mile range claim on this bike as on the Pro despite the smaller pack, which tells you what the claim is worth. Plan on about 40 real throttle miles.
What a full charge costs you
Real dirt bike wheels at $1,499
19-inch spoked wheels on 7074 aluminum rims, wearing 70/100-19 off-road motorcycle tires. That wheel size is the difference between rolling over a rut and being deflected by it, and it is the spec that most cheap e-motos quietly shrink first.
Braking is dual hydraulic discs on 180 mm rotors with EABS regeneration behind them, and the whole machine weighs 116 lb — 7 lb lighter than the Pro, thanks to the smaller packs.
Will it fit you? Here are the numbers.
The question we get asked most. Seat height and rider range decide this more than anything on the spec sheet.

Each column is the manufacturer's own data, and the GT73 loses the speed column to every other bike here — 37 mph claimed against 45, 45 and 50. What it wins: energy and utility. Dual removable packs give it more watt-hours than the Villain, the pedals mean a flat battery is not a walk, and the 330 lb rating ties the IN 10 Pro on a full-size 19-inch chassis rather than a mini one. Torque figures across this table mix wheel and shaft measurements and cannot be compared directly. None of these four is street legal in stock form.
Shipping, damage, and the fine print in plain words
Shipping & delivery
- Ships free. Riding'times dispatch from their US warehouses — Riverside, California, plus Somerset, New Jersey for the GT73 series.
- They do not publish a transit time, so we confirm the dispatch date with them on every order and pass it straight on to you.
- You get tracking as soon as it ships.
- Inspect the crate before you sign. Photograph or film any visible damage on the spot.
- Report shipping damage within 24 hours of delivery — Riding'times' own carrier window is 7 days, and the sooner we file, the cleaner the claim.
2-yr manufacturer warranty
- Riding'times is the manufacturer; MotorHabit sells and supports the bike, and every claim starts with us.
- Send photos or video of the fault to support@motorhabit.com and we open the claim with Riding'times for you.
- Riding'times warrant their bikes for 2 years for manufacturing defects, including the motor and electrical components. The battery carries a 2-year prorated warranty.
- Two photos speed every claim up: the serial number engraved on the motor hub, and the production label on the battery. Worth shooting the day the bike arrives.
- Wear items are not warranty matters on any e-bike: tires, brake pads, chains, grips, cables, rubber parts and bearings. Out-of-warranty faults still get 40% off replacement parts under Riding'times' own policy.
- Their terms void cover for stunts, racing, unauthorized modification and water damage to the battery. Keep the crate for the first two weeks — a damage or return claim is far easier with the original packaging.
