8,000W Powerhouse Super e-bike

Merkava’s Falcon8k

Super e-bike

brings an ominous look to an otherwise tame e-bike segment.

Looking more like a full-blown motorcycle

than your average e-bike, the commanding steed combines power, grit and big-league shock absorption.

Part Mountain Bike

Part dirt bike and all beast, the Falcon8K comes ready to tear apart your local gravel or dirt trails.

The Falcon8K

with its outstanding 8,000 watt brushless motor,

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.

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.

It may not have the power of a traditional internal combustion gas guzzling motocross but its lower weight, superb agility, silent, reliable and clean motor far outweighs this.

The Falcon8K Is Built On A Fortified Steel Frame,

to sustain its breathtaking 8,000 watt motor which will propel you up to 95km/hr (60mi/hr). With almost no maintenance needed and a max range in excess of 120km (75mi) on PAS mode the Falcon8K super e-bike will supply your adrenaline fix…guaranteed.

Powered By A Potent Panasonic (72V- 40Ah) Battery Pack,

the Falcon8K super e-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.

APPLICATIONS for Falcon8K include:

Trail rides & off road use

Fields

Mountain trail rides

Leisure, slow speed rides on bike paths

What our customers think

Dan Arlington

Portland, ME

I was a little skeptical at first that any battery powered bike would provide me with the speed I had gotten used to with my KTM but I must say I am really impressed with the Falcon8k. Ill be back with another review in a few months after I've beaten it a little more :)

Greg Whitman

North Vancouver, BC

The pictures on the site don't fully convey the imposing stature of this e-bike. I was surprised to see how thick and sturdy it is. Also quiet heavy. Feels much more like a motorcycle than a mountain bike. With such powerful acceleration I guess it has to be built tough. I'm very impressed.

Brian Tzalis

Montreal, QC

This is my first ever e-bike and I am trying to learn how to run before learning to walk. It is a lot of bike to handle. Luckily I can choose the level of pedal assist. Looking forward to unleashing this beast once I'm more at ease with it.

Jean Phillip Gagnon

Gatineau, QC

I was debating between the Falcon8K e-bike and e-motocross but chose the later and am happy with my purchase. The seat seemed more comfortable and the fat tires really make a difference on the trails. I would probably ask that they add rear brake lights on future models though but i guess it can be done aftermarket if necessary.

Nick Moffa

Plattsburgh, NY

Been riding my Falcon8K for a few weeks and I am very impressed with the performance and workmanship of the e-bike. Only problem I'm foreseeing is that my buddy's won't be able to keep up with me with their traditional mountain bikes. Will probably hold on to my old bike for treks with the boys.

Carlo Vasquez

Destin, FL

I'm new to Destin and don't know where the best trails are yet but been riding mine on stretches of rough beaches in my area. It's a lot of fun. This thing has mad torque it's scary.
