As a seasoned cyclist transitioning to trikes, I've had the opportunity to explore a range of electric assist systems. While cadence-based systems can be unpredictable, torque-sensing systems offer a more natural and controlled ride. Rear-wheel drive systems, particularly those with customization options like the Falco, provide superior traction and a personalized experience. By carefully selecting a system that aligns with your needs, you can enhance your cycling journey and overcome physical limitations.

This article outlines thirteen significant advantages of Falco eDrive over Bosch's Mid-drive kit for Catrikes. Some of these advantages include zero maintenance, drop-in-wheel replacement, full gear range, thru axle operation, simple installation, versatile configuration into Class 1, 2 or 3 systems, higher torque across all gears, easier on rear derailleur, no rubbing parts, power on demand, reverse operation and virtual reality integration.

The Catrike Villager eCat and Falco’s Three Wheels of Magic (TWM) both offer distinct advantages for different types of riders. The eCat features a lightweight aluminum frame, a reliable 250W Bosch motor, and a straightforward control system, making it ideal for recreational and urban use. In contrast, the TWM boasts a more powerful 750W Falco motor, customizable seating options for rehabilitation, and an advanced wireless Android console, providing more torque, speed, and adaptability. While the eCat is priced higher at $5,850, the TWM starts at $2,995 and is perfect for riders seeking a customizable, tech-forward trike.
