Anapol Weiss has filed a class action against Super73 on behalf of consumers in California who purchased Super73s. In a recent article in Bicycle Retailer, Anapol Weiss partner Pat Huyett provided this overview of the action:
"This lawsuit strikes at the heart of a problem plaguing communities in California — the proliferation of dangerous vehicles that have been sold and marketed as lawful e-bikes but, as alleged in the lawsuit, are not in fact e-bikes under California law but rather are essentially electric motorcycles because of their capability to reach speeds far beyond the legal limits for e-bikes," said the plaintiff's lead attorney Pat Huyett of Anapol Weiss in an email to BRAIN. "Our client, like countless others, spent a significant amount of money for a Super73 vehicle that cannot be lawfully operated as an e-bike. This case is not just about the money that these consumers have spent on Super73 vehicles that they cannot lawfully ride. These vehicles are dangerous given the high speeds they can obtain, resulting in numerous accidents involving children, as highlighted in the lawsuit. So our client’s lawsuit seeks not just refunds for her and others similarly situated but also a court order prohibiting Super73 from selling its vehicles as e-bikes in California."
