Marv Roper - I have three Falco Electric Assist Systems

See You on the Road - Don Auriemma

I am now age 92 years old. 2018, we bought three 750-watt f7.7 systems for our three cat trikes. They have worked well, especially in programming various riding speeds and motor assistance in the consul. I personally rode mine 5,000 miles the first year I had a Falco motor; the second year, it increased to 6,000, and this year, I have 7,000 miles in sight. Primarily I ride the beautiful Pudre River trail between Ft. Collins and Greeley Colorado. This trail varies from flat terrain to fairly high terrain. The preset power levels allow me to adjust quickly and easily. I wouldn't be riding today if I didn't have Falco's electric assist.

 

I’ve been an avid cyclist all my adult life. I love every aspect of the sport: conditioning, mental and physical health, camaraderie, competition, and adventure.

As I approached my mid-seventies, a neuropathic condition began to degrade my balance capabilities. Fearing that I might injure myself and others, I considered giving up my sport. My friends quickly convinced me to explore the purchase of a trike that would enable me to continue my cycling activities. I purchased a fantastic Catrike 529 about five years ago. It was great fun, but after a couple of years, I had difficulty keeping up with my friends on hills because of the weight and geometry of a trike.

That’s when I discovered the Falco eMotors e-bike system. I retrofitted my Catrike with a Falco eMotor e-bike system consisting of a hub motor, battery, console, +/- controller, wireless module, and throttle.

I could not be happier. My etrike allows me to extend my cycling enjoyment far into the future. I have total control over the power assist spectrum. I start most rides at zero, using only pedal power. As needed on hills, or if I get caught at a traffic light and need to close the gap to my friends, I can select the ideal power assist required level with the touch of a button. At power level five, I can reach nearly 30mph on flats.

Riding my trike with a Falco eMotor’s e-bike system is fun, similar to a traditional upright bicycle. Four club members have already “gone electric,” so I am rarely the only motorized member on a ride. My range is at least 100 miles, and the console provides my speed, odometer, assist level, and battery level.

The people at Falco are always ready, willing, and able to provide advice and technical support when needed, which is rare.

See you on the road!
