OPTIONAL PARTS
ANT+/BLE Wireless Module
It is required for wireless mode. It allows you to connect the motor to your smartphone and control the parameters by using a Falco Flash BLE app. You can have full control and set the parameters according to your requirements. Resetting parameters, increasing or decreasing the level of assistance, changing modes, readouts, and many more features are available.
Wired Console
Console is an e-bike computer display. It consists of a five feet cable that directly plugs into the motor. No need for charging the console or pairing with the motor. Simply plug it into the motor, switch it on, and start riding. It comes with a wireless plus/minus controller which allows you to change the power levels, applying the brake, and setting circumference.
Wired Plus/Minus
The wired plus/minus is a controller that allows you to control the power levels; increase or decrease the levels. Easy to change pedal-assist or regeneration mode and apply the brake, and use reverse mode in trikes.
COMPATIBLE COMBINATIONS
Wired Plus/Minus and Wireless Module
Both can be used simultaneously. It allows you to pair it with your smartphone app. Using wired plus/minus allows you to have a hassle-free ride. By using this combination, you can easily set the parameters, and also you can ride without connecting your phone by using wired plus/minus.
ANT+/BLE Wireless Module and Wired Console
Both ANT+/BLE Wireless Module and Wired Console cannot be used simultaneously. Either you can use ANT+/BLE Wireless Module or Console. When you want to use the smartphone app to set the parameters or monitor the torque sensor readings, you need an ANT+/BLE wireless module. If you are going to have a regular ride.

F7.9 system on my Greenspeed Magnum
Received my Falco F7.9 system a few days ago after a 12 week wait due to COVID. I am 72 years old and could not be happier. The system was easy to install on my Greenspeed Magnum trike and I have spent the past few days putting it through some performance tests using a trailer I built which carries 150 lbs. and I have ridden it in some hilly terrain. It has performed beyond my expectations. Battery life has been great (over 100 miles on its first charge) although a do use a fair amount of human power also. The (+) (-) feature is easy to use and allows me to tailor my ride to the amount of energy I want to expend. Thus far, it has lived up to my expectations and look forward to doing long distance riding and camping. Thank you FALCO.

My 2 Catrikes with Falco f7.9 assists
These are my 2 Catrikes with Falco f7.9 assists. These are awesome e-bikes. Falco team always calls back if I had a question. I ride 3 to 5 days a week. Normally I do between 25 an 40 miles. I keep the motor on 2 to 3 range and by doing this I average between 15 to 20 miles per hour. What's really cool I rode 90 miles on one charge and still had some battery left. I'm 66 years old and this is my main exercise during good weather and I look forward to riding. With the assist, I go 3 times as far and twice as fast. Could go faster but I try to keep it down a little. Again awesome results I get with this product. Thanks again Falco and team for the awesome product and service. Always very patient. Thanks for a great product and equally great service. 10

The Best eSystem Worldwide
I love this f7.9 e system on my Catrike Road. Im 83 years old and it provides me a means to escape from my house and meet a lot of interesting people in the parks and trails. Very comfortable Catrike Road AR. I added fenders (needed with all the rain ) lift bars, mirrors, and larger/wider tires to get thru the grassy areas. I researched a lot of e-systems and believe Falco provides the best system worldwide. The only con i have is the console needs to improve, however, the iPhone app makes up for its shortcomings. Much longer range than indicated. Thanks so much, Falco for your support. Don V

AMAZING!
I finally have my system up and running and am completely blow away. I have a friend with another e-assist system that she cannot fine tune at all. The ability to control so many aspects of this system makes it more than I had hoped for. I am a fairly strong rider, but I ride a long wheel base recumbent that I love. I don’t love all the hills I encounter routinely on the bike. I can now have as much power assist as I want for the hills and am able to have very little or no assist for flats and rolling hills. It is so easy to select how much and when. The result is that I am able to get a great workout, but not suffer the hills! It is so quiet and smooth you might forget you are getting help. AMAZING!

First 50 miles
OK, first the cons. The claim that you can install it yourself in 30 minutes is fantasy, it took more time to get the wheel installed on my Catrike. All that said, the system does just what I wanted it to do. Riding completely with pedal assist on level one, my speed has increased about 30% while my effort level is probably down about 25%. That gets me back to the performance level of a few years ago (I'll turn 80 later this year.) I decided to get pedal assist so I could keep riding, and I decided to get a Falco because it seemed to be the best option available. I'm now confident that both those decisions were right.

Excellent Product Support
I am a charter Falco owner. Excellent product support. Any issues were taken care of a in a timely manner. No issues for the last couple of years. My wife is in excellent shape I"m 67 and she's 8 years younger.. Last summer we had one trip at 63 miles (2nd battery) and when we get back she roller blades another 10 miles. I couldn't keep up to her without my Falco. We biked the Colorado mountains, Parts of the Idaho Coeur d'alene 72 mile paved trail. Hiawatha bike trail Montana 1.7 mile tunnel and railroad tressels. Mickelson Trail in SD Black Hills. Gitchi Gami trail Lake Superior. Many others. No more hated strenuous hills and get to see lots of beautiful back country. We've seen bear, Bull Moose, Bull Elk. We did some long mountain climbs and no wires melting like I've read about other units. Know I'm 225lbs. So happy I made the purchase.

Thanks again!
I’m excited about the new system. On the 2+ mile climb I just did at about a 7% grade average I was able to stay at about 7.5 mph to the top. Much better than before and much better than I could do without the assist.
