    Hi Power Cycles?

    Actually, that picture is of their new bike the "Revolution" and it's got the same Motorcycle type frame as the Stealth offerings. This is a pic of the bike I'm building. It looks more like a regular Mtn. Bike. I don't plan to use it on public bike paths at all. I have another bike for those...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    Gotta admire the brand loyalty that Stealth brings out in people. I had about ten of them try to talk me out of this on another forum just now. :D Seems odd when you think about it since the frame is the only thing on either bike that's really different. The rest of the components are mostly...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    The big problem I have with Stealth is the form factor and the weight. It really looks a lot more like a motor bike than a bike and we have some pretty bored cops around here who like to hassle cyclists. I think I'd feel more comfortable on a more "normal" looking bike that wouldn't draw as much...

    Hi Power Cycles?

    I spent a good amount of time pricing out an HPC bike today with Chris. I found him very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I've been comparing their high end XC bike to the Stealth Fighter and so far, the HPC is coming out on top. It's actually faster than their Bomber and it weighs about...

    Ride Report for Falco Emotor Bike

    Yep. I never need it now that we got the Speed Limit removed. It's plenty fast in Pedelec mode.

    eBike Lock recommendations?

    My bike is usually never far from my sight, so I went for light weight. Got this one on Amazon. It fits nicely in my under seat bag: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQT7HW4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    .....

    Have not seen a single one. You'd think in Silicon Valley (birth place of the Tesla) that they'd be more clued in around here. As far as I know, I'm the only one. I kind of like it. :D

    Falco 750 - 10 speed cassette fit?

    Falco rims do not use a Cassette. They use a "Freewheel". I suggest getting one with an 11 tooth gear in the mix, such as this one: DNP Epoch Freewheel 7spd 11-30 Nickel Plated

    What exactly is the Speed Limit settings doing?

    Those speed settings have been disabled. Just leave them blank. It is permanently set to "Cruise" mode on the USA version. The Cruise restrict used to allow the user to disable Cruise mode (ostensibly for their kids perhaps?) but I'm told that is disabled now as well. Falco has been putting...

    New Falco Customer Checking In!

    I agree Ann. I'm really coming to appreciate the flexibility you have with a Kit like Falco. You can literally dial it in exactly the way you want it. I'm really enjoying it, and I doubt I'd find an off the rack bike that would suit my preferences as well. My son took it out today and to my...

    What are your Falco settings?

    Oddly, I was sure the wireless was going to be this thing's achilles, but so far it's been perfect. I haven't had it lose connectivity even once. There's still a weird quirk going on with my motor where it doesn't retain the settings after a reboot though. The owner said they could probably fix...

    What are your Falco settings?

    I've had it up to 35 mph with a slight wind at my back, and then my bike runs out of gear. I just ordered a new Freewheel for it with an 11 tooth gear. That should help. I weigh about 170. Here's a picture of it.

    What are your Falco settings?

    Everything on mine is at the defaults except for Max TS Value which is set at "1" (I like a lot of help) and the TS Turn on Value is set to "3" for the same reason. :)

    I thought you might like a picture of my bike in it's current state. I just ordered new Schwalbe Marathon Tires and and 11-32 Freewheel for better top speed. :)

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    @James-Spokane: How many gears do you have on your back wheel? Can one fit a full sized Freewheel with the 750 motor? 7 gears would be ideal for me. Also, how many teeth is your lowest gear, if you happen to know. Thanks.

    Update 2: Unfortunately, it appears there's still a problem with my Motor that won't allow it to stay in "Cruise" mode, so every time I turn it off it reverts back to Non-Cruise mode. Rakesh is going to update the firmware next week to make sure it stays in Cruise Mode permanently. They are...

    My Falco 750 W HX motor kit

    UPDATE: I think we have the problem solved! :) Apparently, my motor came from the Factory with the Speed Restriction turned ON. We turned that off and now it works perfectly. I knew it had to be something easy like that... I'm glad I persisted. It feels like a completely different bike now. So...
