After 2 years of interest in wheels, here is FINALLY a wheel that really makes me want to get started as a beginner!!! THANK YOU BEGODE THANK YOU!!!

I wouldn't recommend you to buy a 'beginner' wheel. Just after a few weeks you'll reach it's potentiall and ask for something bigger. I'd recommend a wheel which fulfills all your wishes when it comes to range, topspeed, size and weight. I know a guy who started with a Inmotion V13. Absolutely not a beginner friendly wheel, but you'll grow into it for sure.

​@@floatypiet You must not read that well, I've been interested in wheels for 2 years. So I know very well what I expect from a wheel and the Falcon is exactly what I need, I don't need something more powerful or bigger. And regarding V13 you have to be very stupid to start with this giant and absurd thing. I confirm the Falcon will be perfect for me! I have a busy life. I'm not one of the rednecks who get together on Sunday morning to go wheeling with their redneck friends while their fat wives stay at home in front of the TV looking after the children. I just need a sturdy and fun little wheel to go to my job not far away and have fun on small dirt roads with the comfort of a small suspension and the compactness of the wheel which will also allow me to ride easy to take in the trunk.

I just took this thing up some technical trails that were a little too tricky on my Lynx. This thing just rips right up it and you can jerk it around and manipulate it so much easier it has totally exceeded my expectations. It is a lot of fun!

I wonder if the buzzer/beeper under the wheel facing down would be much quieter if it was insider the top cover facing up towards the rider. Protected and waterproofed. It would be nice if they could put the headlight inside like the rear light but I guess it would be putting out a bit of heat you might not want near the control board. Great teardown. Still it is bit pricey where I live (~A$3000/US$2000) so may wait to see the reviews and hope for a price drop.

Nope, just the top control board cover.

Currently having a KS-14D, A2 and V11. I feel this Falcon is a slight improved A2 but overall, I would not pay this price for a small wheel, small battery. 14D is for short trips (grocery store), going easily in the car’s trunk. V11 is for longer/faster trips/commutes (but as much as enjoy it, I feel I will need a wheel with a bigger battery just to reach 75-80km of range). A2 weight (20kg) is annoying to move around and range is limited (27-30km). The extra 150Wh on the Falcon will add more or less 5-8km but the weight is still high. The A2 is stuck between these 2 purposes (battery is too small for trips, wheel is too heavy to move around) so Falcon will be in the same dilemma. That’s why I would not recommend this wheel unless the person has specific needs (but I can confirm that, once you have tasted bigger wheels, you won’t sadly consider smaller wheels) or if the price is really low ($1400CA or less).

@2cells1pack

I disagree. 14D is way less comfortable than Falcon. Having a 50lb wheel is quite portable and small, plus has way more safety and power than any older small wheel
