You have seen the viral clips of riders shredding through deep powder and climbing near-vertical hills. You’ve heard the rumors of 338Nm of torque, but when you are looking at the Riding’times lineup, one question stands out: Is the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance actually that much better than the standard GT73?
At first glance, both models share that iconic, aggressive moto-frame that turns heads in the city, but the moment you twist the throttle, you’ll realize these are two very different beasts. Whether you’re a weekend trail rider or someone looking for an e-moto that can crush frozen landscapes with a Snow Track Kit, the "Pro" badge isn't just for show, it's a total mechanical overhaul.
The Motor Gap: Comparing GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance
The most noticeable upgrade in GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance is under the hood or rather, inside the hub. While the original GT73 is a highly capable machine with a 1200W rated motor (peaking at 2400W), the Pro pushes into "super-bike" territory.
The GT73 Pro features a 3000W Peak motor that changes the fundamental physics of your ride. However, wattage is only half the story. The real game-changer is the 338Nm of torque. To put that in perspective:
- Standard GT73: 106Nm of Torque
- GT73 Pro: 338Nm of Torque
That is over 3x the pulling power. If you’ve ever struggled to climb a steep incline or felt your tires bog down in deep sand or mud, you will feel the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance difference instantly. This bike doesn't just "ride" over obstacles; it obliterates them. This level of torque is specifically engineered to handle the added friction of the winter track system, ensuring you never lose momentum in deep snow.
Speed and Range: Built for the Long-Haul Commute
If you have a "need for speed" or a long daily commute, the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance stats are clear winners.
- Top Speed: The GT73 maxes out at a respectable 37 MPH. The Pro, however, is capable of hitting up to 50 MPH (tested under optimal conditions). This allows you to keep pace with city traffic easily, making it a viable alternative to a gas-powered moped.
- Real-World Range: Range anxiety is a thing of the past. Thanks to a high-efficiency power management system, the Pro offers up to 173 miles of pedal-assist range. Even on pure throttle, you’re looking at 87 miles of distance.
Compared to the standard GT73’s 68/155-mile range, the Pro gives you the freedom to explore backcountry trails or complete a full week of commuting without ever reaching for the charger.
Dual 60V Battery: The Heart of GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance
A beastly motor requires a beastly battery. This is where the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance truly pulls away from the competition. The Pro is powered by dual 60V 18.2Ah (36.4Ah total) UL 2849 certified lithium batteries.
The jump from a 48V system to a 60V system is significant. Higher voltage means the motor can spin faster and maintain higher torque even when the battery is at 50% capacity. It provides that "punchy" feel that riders crave.
Rapid Charging for Constant Adventure
Despite having a larger battery capacity, the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance features faster "pit stops."
- GT73 Charging: 9-10 Hours
- GT73 Pro Charging: 5-6 Hours (using dual 3A chargers)
By utilizing dual charging ports and upgraded chargers, you can recharge your entire 2184Wh system while you sleep or during a shift at work. No more waiting 10+ hours to get back on the trail.
Structural Integrity: Frame and Build Quality
Both bikes are built on a high-strength carbon steel frame designed to take a beating, but the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance includes reinforcements to handle the extra speed. The Pro is slightly heavier (123 lbs vs 116 lbs), but this extra weight actually improves high-speed stability.
Both models feature:
- 25x4” Off-Road Tires: Massive "Fat Tires" that provide a natural suspension effect.
- Full Suspension: All-aluminum barrel axle inverted forks and a 1200 lbs rear shock.
- Braking Power: 230mm dual hydraulic disc brakes with EABS (Electronic Auto-Braking System).

Winter Dominance: The Snow Track Kit Factor
One of the most exciting aspects of GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance is the ability to transform the bike for the seasons. The Snow Track Kit is a bolt-on conversion that replaces the rear wheel with a motorized tread and the front wheel with a ski.
While the kit fits both models, the GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance is the recommended platform. The 338Nm of torque is essential for "floating" on top of deep powder. In the world of snow-biking, torque is king, and the Pro has it in spades.
The Verdict: Is the Pro the Right Choice for You?
Choosing between these two comes down to your riding style and environment.
Choose the GT73 (Standard) if:
- You are a casual rider or beach cruiser.
- You mainly ride on flat pavement or light gravel.
- You want the iconic "Moto" look at the most affordable price point.
Choose the GT73 Pro if:

- You live in a hilly area or plan on off-roading in mud and sand.
- You want a legitimate car-replacement e-bike with 50 MPH capability.
- You plan on using the Snow Track Kit for winter adventures.
The GT73 Pro Electric Bike Performance represents the pinnacle of what a hub-drive electric motorbike can achieve. It bridges the gap between a standard e-bike and a full-sized electric motorcycle, giving you the power to go anywhere, anytime, in any weather.
