Product Details
Not sure it fits your bike or trike? Call 877-278-6323 or book a free consultation. We will check your frame, wheel size and drop-out before you order.
The Falco f7.9 is a 750 W, 48 V, 672 Wh electric drive that turns the bike, trike or tandem you already own into a smart eBike. The motor, controller, torque sensor and speed sensor are all inside the rear hub, so installation is a wheel swap plus a battery. It assists to 20 mph in the US (28 mph where legal), goes up to 120 miles on a charge at level 1, freewheels with zero resistance when the assist is off, and regenerates on descents. It is the same drive that powers the Three Wheels of Magic. Read what owners say in the customer stories.

Controls: pick what suits you
ANT+/BLE wireless module
Needed for wireless mode. It connects the motor to the Falco Flash app on your phone so you can set assist and regeneration levels, change modes, read the sensors and more.
Wired console
An eBike computer on a five-foot cable that plugs straight into the motor. No charging, no pairing: plug in, switch on, ride. It comes with a plus/minus controller for power levels, brake and wheel circumference.
Wired plus/minus
A simple controller for raising and lowering the power level, switching between pedal-assist and regeneration, applying the brake, and reverse on trikes.
Combinations. The wired plus/minus and the wireless module work together: set things up in the app, then ride without your phone. The wireless module and the wired console cannot be used at the same time; choose one.
Why it rides differently
- Patented five-phase motor: zero freewheeling resistance, about 40% more power than a three-phase motor, high-efficiency assist and regeneration.
- Torque and speed sensing: power arrives in proportion to how hard you pedal, so it feels like your own legs, only stronger. Adjust the level any time.
- Clean installation: wireless console and plus/minus controller keep cables to a minimum.
- Five-year motor warranty: a direct drive has no gears to wear, and we have built them since 2011.
