My name is Jim, and I have had to ride hand trikes for years. I tried a device called a pusher to help me us the hills and it was not easy to operate or connect.
I have a bad right leg and could not ride a regular bicycle or even a recumbent trike. I recently had a surgery that fixed my right leg so that I could ride a recumbent trike. With the help of Utah trikes and Falco Electric Motors, I am now riding a bicycle again. My recumbent bike is so much easier to ride with the Falco motor. The Motor and trike are integrated and for the first time in 33 years I am riding again. I have been extremely pleased with the customer service at Falco and Rakesh has been so easy to work with. He has helped me in understanding how the motor works. Plus he helped me with the wireless integrated control unit, which makes riding much easier. I can tel you that this has changed my life.
I live in a town that has 40 + miles of bike trails and we also have a number of hills to climb. But with the trike and Falco integrated motor and control, it is so easy to now get around. You have to remember this is still a bike, you still need to pedal and with the assist of the motor, even I can keep up with the folks I ride with. The Falco unit, it very responsive and offers a number of features that other electric motors could only dream of. For example, when I ride up a hill, on the way down the hill the motor has a built in charging unit, that extends the time on my battery. Making the ride capable of longer distances. You can set the motor to automatically assist you or you can tap the throttle and off you go.
I choose the 500 Watt motor for the power, and this motor provides that power, and at the same time is efficient as the other motors offered. The power and torque of the Falco motor is amazing and it was the Best choice I could have made. And Yes there is plenty of power. Life really is about choices and I for sure made the right choice by purchasing a Falco integrated system. I had done a lot of research on electric motors and the Falco system is the right choice.
I would encourage you to check out the Falco web site and see for yourself this amazing company. I am a believer in Falco and happy to have a integrated system that really works.
