electric motocross brings an ominous look to an otherwise tame e-bike segment.
Looking more like a Motorcross
than your average e-bike with its optional moto seat and 19’’ rugged MX rims and tires, the commanding steed combines power, grit and big-league shock absorption will satisfy even the most demanding rider.
Part mountain bike,
part dirt bike and all beast, the Falcon5K comes ready to tear apart your local gravel or dirt trails.
The Falcon5K super e-bike
with its outstanding continuous 5kW QS brushless motor and peak output of 7.2kW is essentially in a category of its own. It is far from the average mountain bike thanks to its efficient and clean motor that will propel you up any terrain and kick in with unnerving torque when you’re in need of your daily dose of adrenaline.
Our customers claim,
Its performance is reminiscent of a 125-150CC 4 stroke internal combustion gas guzzling motocross but its lower weight, superb agility, silent, reliable and clean motor offer many more riding possibilities.
With its pedals and traditional mountain bike components you can easily ride it, haul it and service it yourself saving time and money. You can even tap yourself on the back for taking a big leap in reducing your carbon footprint and saving our planet.
The Falcon5K is built on a fortified steel frame
to sustain its breathtaking 5kW watt motor which will easily propel you to over 80km/hr (50mi/hr). With almost no maintenance needed and a max range of 120km (75mi) the Falcon5K electric motocross will supply your adrenaline fix…guaranteed.
Powered by a potent Panasonic
2880Wh (72V- 40Ah) Massive Battery Pack.
The Falcon5K super electric bike is designed for long treks through trails, fields, forests and off roads. The motor is located in the center of the rear wheel and provides torque effortlessly and silently allowing you to rip through trails otherwise inaccessible or forbidden to loud motocross bikes.
There is minimal assembly required, including installing the front wheel, inflating the tires and installing the handlebar. If you selected the MX seat you will also need to install it. Make sure to fully charge your battery before your first ride, check and tighten all bolts and screws if necessary and read and understand the owners-manual and safety labels. If you are unclear about anything we strongly urge you to send us an email or request a call back so we can guide you through any issue you may be experiencing.

Safety Tips
Although Falcon5K is technically a bicycle great care should be taken when riding it or any other electric motor powered vehicle. You should treat your new transporter with respect, never underestimating its power potential. We advise that new riders always start on the lowest pedal assist mode until they are entirely at ease with the transporters acceleration, braking and maneuverability. This transporter has been built to provide you with years of fun commute, please keep your safety and that of others a priority.
Always use bicycle lanes where available. If none are available you must conform to all traffic laws that apply to other motor powered vehicles.
Helmet Always wear an ASTM and CPSC certified helmet when riding. Make sure that the chin strap is attached before your ride and follow the helmet manufactures instructions for proper use and fit. In many Provinces or States the wear of a helmet on e-bikes is mandatory.
Footwear Make sure to always wear shoes that have good traction on the pedals or pegs and will stay on your feet at higher speeds.
Brakes Squeeze the hand brake levers to ensure there is positive braking action before starting your ride.
We recommend parking on flat surfaces. If however you must park on an incline, make sure to park your transporter perpendicular to the road with the back wheel leaning against the sidewalk, same as motorcycles.
CONTROL
Make sure you are sitting on your e-bike with your hands on the hand grips before engaging the throttle and keep hands on hand grips when riding. Beginners should always start on the lowest power assist mode until familiarized with the Falcon5K. SEE USER MANUAL FOR MORE INFO.
