    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    I've ridden them all my life. Started on dirt bikes and graduated to street bikes. I've had Honda, Harley, Kawasaki, and Triumph. It's not the bikes that scare me, it's the other fools on the road. I sold my last Motorcycle after a distracted teenage driver on her iPhone rear ended me. :mad:

    Too dangerous. ;)

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    Agreed. It's annoying as hell. Just when you get them going, and then BAM! The motor just shuts off. The way my Falco is now, it's like it has a Cadence Sensor installed when you get to higher speeds. I've had mine up to 40 mph on the flats with a backwind. That ain't bad for a 500 watt motor. :)

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    I just got a new firmware update too and it's like a new bike. Doesn't cycle on and off at high speed now. Personally, I think Falco should use this firmware for all bikes going forward. It's as close to perfect as any e-bike I've ridden, and better than most of the production models since they...

    US ebike Company: Hi-Power Cycles

    I'm dealing with them now on a Full Suspension build and so far it's been a great experience. I've changed my mind several times and swapped out different parts etc. and they've been great about it all. We've been waiting for some Tektro Brake adapters for about a week now. Talked to Chris...

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    A: I think I do get that vibration thing every now and then. It kind of makes a weird sound too. A: I think you will be very happy with the 48V. It's like a different bike. A: It starts at about 52V at full Charge. I've only taken it on 6 mile trips to work and back so far, and it's still...

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    My Console has always shown battery voltage (once I paired it with the motor), but it doesn't have Current or AH. It's just the standard one. Here's mine with the 36V battery. Circa 1990 Bianchi Backstreet. I have't had a chance to take any pics with the new battery, tires, and freewheel yet.

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    Yep, I have an unrestricted throttle at any speed and it takes priority over the TS. With the new firmware I got today, It's much more like a Cadence Sensor at higher speeds which is exactly what I wanted and what I asked for. It doesn't cut out if I don't pedal hard enough now. Which I really...

    Ride Report for Falco Emotor Bike

    Hey Bike_On. Cameron over at Falco updated my firmware today and I really like it. Talked about it more here. ETA: Oh wow, sorry to hear about your mishap Bike_On! Dang.... That's pretty scary, but glad it was only the bike that got hurt. I had a bike shop change a rear tire for me on my...

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    Odometer is something that's on the LCD Display. If your Display isn't retaining settings that's probably a different issue. But yes, the firmware update on the Motor was a piece of cake. Cameron over at Falco was able to control my PC remotely (actually my Mac Laptop running Parallels) with...

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    Turns out my Motor is defective and won't retain the settings once I power it off. It always reverts back to Restricted Mode. Falco is sending me a special cable they use to connect to a PC and update the firmware. Hopefully that'll fix the problem. I decided to upgrade to the 48V battery for a...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    They just started shipping those on April 10th and they sold out immediately. So hopefully some of those owners will post up some reviews and videos.The next batch of frames won't be in for another 6 weeks and they already have standing orders waiting for those. It sounds like it's going to be a...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    Yeah, If you notice that guy's responses have been removed from the thread or he deleted them himself. Thats one of the examples I'm talking about. HPC outed him for being a fake. After that he disappeared and never came back. Even so, I think it's pretty bad form to go around bashing a small...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    That's complete and total BS. I've seen those trolls and the owner of HPC outed them for being liars. Did you know that? It was the same two guys going all over the web under different names and talking crap about HPC. Not one of them could prove they ever bought a bike from HPC. No invoices, no...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    Lol. I have a biased argument? You stealth owners are a joke. I can't believe the amount of crap I'm taking from you guys. The only real difference between the HPC and the Stealth is the FRAME. Do you understand that? There's no magical properties to Stealth bombers. They are simply off the...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    That mid Drive bike is 35 mph on the flats with a 170 pound rider. I'd guess it would take more horsepower to do what you're wanting to do. If you find a bike that powerful under 50 pounds, please post back. I'd like to see it too. :)

    Hi Power Cycles?

    Under 50? Hmmm... That would be tough to do. Light and fast are diametrically opposed. The lightest really FAST bike (2000 watt, 45 mph) I could find at HPC was around 58 lbs. You can get a Mid Drive bike from them that'll do 35 mph which weighs about 48 lbs. That's pretty fast. Most of the...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    No. The Stealth BOMBER and the Revolution are the most similar in power and specs but the Revolution is lighter and faster and a better hill climber. The bomber has a seriously HUGE frame. Unfortunately with all that beef you get a lot of weight. The "Tank" is so wide between your knees that you...
