Falco Fusion Drive System Components

Falco Fusion Sports is Disc Brake and Free Hub Compatible

Falco Fusion Sports Drive is an eBike drive system (or ebike kit as some call it.) which converts any normal bicycle into an electric bicycle. The motor goes in the rear of the wheel and the battery installs onto the water bottle cage. The control unit slides onto the handle bar. The control unit is wired directly to the motor. There are no additional controller, or components or messy wires to deal with. Smart phone allows you to add a ton of additional capability such as cycle computer, cardio control, fitness machine, power meter integration, eBike functions, social sharing and GPS mapping.

Motor can be activated with your feet (also known as pedal assist) or the control unit. With the motor in the rear you can combine your foot and the motor power to go faster and farther.

Why should I use Falco eBike Drive System?

There is no comparison to Falco Drive technology in the market today

 Falco eBike drive system is the most advanced eBike system in the market. It has been developed after years of research. It is powerful, robust and reliable. And it is amazingly fast. You can control the system with your feet, hands or heart. There is no other system in the market which compares or even comes close to the Falco drive system. The system is  Most Advanced; Light Weight; Powerful; Robust and Reliable; Gearless (no plastic or metal gears unlike the German or the Chinese Systems); Quiet (Gears make horrible noise); Versatile (use it on any bike); Efficient (Geared Systems are inefficient); Cost Effective; Zero Resistance Pedaling; An Open System.

Falco eBike drive sytems are an excellent alternative form of transportation. Although efficiency of the automobiles have improved dramatically, so has the number of automobiles. Automobiles continue to wreck havoc on our cities and the environment. Falco eBike system keeps you on your two bicycle wheels and makes them more useful. Now you can use your bicycle for fun, fitness and just about all of your transportation needs. There is no petrol or gas to be used. Electricity costs around $0.10 per 1000 watt-hour. That is enough to charge our battery pack twice. You stay fit, save the earth and have a lot of fun while doing it.

How Does Falco Fusion Sports Drive System Works?

Falco Fusion Installation

A Falco Fusion Sports Drive System converts any regular bike into an eBike or electric bicycle. There are only three components of the system - motor (fully spoked electric wheel), battery pack and control unit. There are no messy wires or additional components or controllers to deal with. The controller and electronics are embedded inside the motor. The fully spoked rear wheel contains the motor in the center of the spokes. The whole wheel simply replaces the rear wheel of your bicycle. The battery is bolted onto the frame of the bicycle ( water bottle bolts). All the needed hardware is included. The control unit simply slides over the end of your handlebars.

The Falco Control Unit

The battery pack delivers 50V, 420 watt-hour of capacity and the control unit allows you to have throttle as well as pedal assist control in addition to regenerative braking. Regeneration or regenerative braking allows you to charge the battery while riding. It takes excess kinetic energy and puts it back into the battery pack.
As you begin to pedal, the motor is automatically activated. This is called pedal assist. It senses the cyclists' torque and adjust the level of assistance accordingly. If you pedal harder, it will provide more assistance. If you pedal softly, it will provide lesser assistance. You can also activate the motor using the control unit. The plus can be used as a throttle. By holding the plus down, the motor can be activated. The harder you press, more assistance you get. As you release the plus, the level of assistance decreases. That is control of the motor with your hands.

All the hardware and instructions are included. Video instructions will be posted on our youtube channel.

How easy is it to install the Falco Fusion eBike System on my bike?

The system is designed to be super simple to install. The step by step instructions and all the included hardware will guide you through the simple steps. The level of assembly does not require expert handyman skills or tools. The whole process can be done in less than 30 minutes with only a few simple hand tools. The conversion process is simple and straight forward and simpler than installing coffee tables. Written and video instructions are included along with graphic illustrations.

Difference between 250 Watt and 350 Watt Versions

The 250 watt version is ideal for light weight riders who weigh less than 150 lbs. (68 kg) and intend to ride fairly flat terrain. 350 watt system is ideal for hill climbing performance. The marked differences in the two systems are power and acceleration. Since 250 watt system consumes less power, it will provide more range as compared to the 350 watt system. The 350 watt system provides 40% more power and is ideal for those looking for more performance.
The two systems are identical in appearance. The main differences are in the internal components such as magnets, winding and controller.

What is the range ? How far can I go ?

The Efficient Falco Fusion Drive System has the most impressive range of all the systems combined together.

Max range of 100+ miles is achievable. The average range is about 40 to 80 miles. Please see the chart below:

Under ideal riding conditions one can achieve great range. The ideal riding conditions include good roads, low friction tires inflated to recommended air pressure and well maintained bicycle components. The bicycle speed and rider weight also play an important part in determining the range. Lower speed dramatically improves range. Higher speed decreases range significantly. Changing the speed from 20 mph to 15 mph can increase your range by 30 to 50%.

In addition, using pedal assist is much more efficient than throttle only operation. It is impossible to increase range with throttle only operation. Motor will always overpower the rider and contribute 100% of the power. Under pedal assist, you are forced to contribute. Here you make a big difference. And with five assist levels you can have a fairly direct control over the range.

Please refer to the chart above to see range estimates.

Level 1 Range Estimates: 40 to 100+ miles
Level 2 Range Estimates: 35 to 85+ miles
Level 3 Range Estimates: 30 to 65+ miles
Level 4 Range Estimates: 25 to 55+ miles
Level 5 Range Estimates: 20 to 50+ miles
Throttle Only Range Estimates: 15 to 40+ miles

What is the difference between off-road and road legal versions?

Most counties regulate the speed and power an eBike can deliver. Some of the limits are mentioned below:
USA: Speed Limit: 20 mph (32 km/h), Power Limit: 750W
Canada: Speed Limit: 20 mph (32 km/h) , Power Limit: 500W
Europe: Speed Limit: 15 mph (25 km/h), Power Limit: 250W
Japan, Singapore, Australia: Speed Limit: 15 mph (25 km/h), Power Limit: 200W
India: Speed Limit: 15 mph (25 km/h), Power Limit: 250W
Below these limits, no license or insurance is required.
Off-road versions go past these speed limits and provide pedal assistance to 28 mph (45 km/h). The off-road versions are illegal to ride on public property without certain licensing or/and insurance requirements.

Can the drive system be used without the smart phone?

Yes, the drive system can be used without the smart phone. The drive system has all the performance and functionality to exceed any existing eBike in the market without the astronomical price tags and clunky noises of geared drive systems. And we go far beyond with our smart phone.
Smart phone adds the following functionality to the drive system:

• Cycle Computer;
• Off-Road Mode Activation;
• Cardio Control;
• Fitness Functions and Biometrics Feedback;
• Power Meter Functions;
• eBike Drive Data Display;
• GPS Mapping;
• Social Sharing.
