Introduction E-Bikes Riding an electric bicycle is a great way to hop around town conveniently and cheaply. EBikes represent a natural progression in the development of urban transportation. Using only small amounts of electricity, e-bikes have the potential to radically reduce the amount of pollution in our cities. As well, they are very quiet, so they do not add to the high levels of noise pollution which we often take for granted. They are easy, and usually free, to park.
Part Diagrams Diagram 1: The Falcon This diagram illustrates the various parts of your Falcon. Please note that many of these parts are not user-serviceable and should be repaired only by trained professionals. This is especially true of the electrical systems and the mechanical components. 1 3 3 4 2 4 6 1. Handlebars 2. Display panel 3. Wheel Guards 5 4. Wheels 5. Foot Pads 6.
Product Specifications 6 Max Speed 20 km/h Battery Lithium Battery Range (from full charge) 55 km Minimum Turning Radius Zero (turns on the spot) Optimum Tire Pressure 1.0Bar/100kPa/15psi Vehicle Weight 55 kg Vehicle Footprint 65 x 49 cm Chassis Height 10.0 cm Handlebar Height 90 ~120 cm (adjustable) Tire Diameter 50.
Components Handlebar The handlebar maintains balance and controls the direction of the vehicle. The front and rear of the handlebar is shown below. The height of the handlebar can be adjusted to suit the rider: Warning The handlebars cannot tilt in excess of 450 left or right around the axis point.
Warning To avoid injury, always hold the handlebar firmly during power-up, while riding or when shutting the power off. Display Panel The display panel shows information about the Falcon’s operations. Make sure to install both batteries - the battery indicator(s) should both turn on when installed correctly. The speedometer can display current speed and track accumulated mileage. Display lights indicate whether the Falcon is on high speed or low speed.
Wheels The wheels bear the weight of the vehicle and the rider. The tire pressure is 15psi/100kPa. Please ensure that both tires are equally pressurized before riding the Falcon. Foot Pads The foot pads support the rider’s feet. While riding, both feet should always be positioned in the middle of the pad as shown below. Battery The battery provides power to the Falcon. The battery voltage is 70VDC. Do not open the battery compartment or the vehicle’s control panel - you may be subject to electric shock.
Warning In the event that the vehicle is not used for an extended period, it is advised to charge the batteries once every 30 days, otherwise irreversible damage to the battery can occur. At the bare minimum the battery must be charged once every three months. If the vehicle is to be stored, disconnect the battery first. Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery box, expose it to high pressure, fire, or any heat sources under any circumstances. Battery The charger provided uses AC 160V-240V, 50/60Hz.
To mount the vehicle, wait for the 4 red indicator lights in the middle to stop flashing. Step onto the unit with one foot to feel the balance. If the unit feels balanced, step on the vehicle with your other foot. Keep your body upright to control the unit and achieve stability. While holding the handlebars, lean forward and the vehicle should move forward slowly. Lean backwards and it should gradually come to a stop. The Falcon’s forward and reverse movement is controlled by the rider’s body movement.
Parts Replacement Schedule 12 Directional Potentiometer replace annually or for every 1,000 km traveled Handlebar Suspension Gas Springs replace annually or for every 1,000 km traveled Tires replace both tires if tread depth is less than 0.
Annex 1 Using the Remote Control The top left button controls the power, the lower left button is the mode key button. The upper right button locks the vehicle, and the lower right button is the display key. In the off-state, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to hear the buzzer “beep.” The battery indicator lights should turn on. At this time, the status lights should flash. All light indicators may cycle - if this is the case, the systems are working to properly balance the vehicle.
Calibrating the Balance Point When riding for the first time or after an extended period, it is a good idea to calibrate the system to find a balance point. While in the off state, press the power button and the mode button together for two seconds. After a few “beeps,” the vehicle will calibrate its systems. At this point, the vehicle shoud level the platform and a final “beep” will confirm that the calibration is complete. After calibrating, the system will automatically shut down.
