The 79Bike Falcon Pro, formerly the Falcon M, already makes 10kW peak and 410 Nm of torque. That's good for 56 mph and up to 75 miles from its 72V 35Ah LG battery. Riders who outgrow that power usually ask two things: how do I get more power, and how do I keep my range? This guide answers both honestly, including what's worth the money and what isn't.
Step 1: Get the Cheap Wins First
Before you spend four figures on electronics, make sure the basics are dialed in:
- Gearing. A bigger rear sprocket makes the bike pull noticeably harder for a small fraction of what a controller costs. Our Falcon Pro gearing and drivetrain guide covers sprocket sizes and chain lengths.
- Tires and tire pressure. Grip turns power into speed. Spinning the rear tire wastes both power and battery.
- Ride mode. Make sure you're actually in the bike's highest power mode before you decide it needs more.
Step 2: Controller Upgrade (The Big One)
The controller decides how much current reaches the motor, so it's the part that actually adds power. For the Falcon Pro, we carry the Ventus Aetos Pro Upgraded Controller. You can order it with a 79Bike Falcon Pro harness, and higher-output Aetos Max and Ultra versions are also available. You tune these controllers through a phone app, so you can set throttle response and power delivery for trail riding or for all-out speed.
A few things to know before you buy:
- Get the right harness. The Ventus Aetos Gen.2 harness kit has a 79Bike Falcon Pro version. That harness does not fit the Falcon GT.
- More power means more heat and more wear. Expect to go through drivetrain parts and tires faster. A stronger primary drive, like a chain conversion or carbon belt, is smart insurance.
- Range drops when you use the power. A controller doesn't make the battery bigger. Ride it hard and you'll get there sooner.
- Warranty. Aftermarket electrical changes can affect the manufacturer's warranty. Ask us before you modify a new bike.
Step 3: Motor (For the Truly Committed)
For riders who want to go all the way, the Ventus Ryuga motor is built for lightweight e-moto platforms, including 79Bike. It needs an aftermarket controller like the Aetos to run. This is a big build. Talk to us about fitment for your specific bike and the rest of the parts you'll need before you order.
Range: What Actually Helps
We don't currently sell a larger drop-in battery for the Falcon Pro, so getting more range comes down to how you set up and ride the bike:
- Use a lower ride mode when you're cruising, and save full power for when you need it.
- Keep the drivetrain clean and lubed and run correct tire pressure. Drag eats range.
- Be smooth on the throttle. Constant full-throttle bursts drain the pack far faster than holding a steady pace.
- Look after the battery. Charge it indoors in cold weather, don't store it fully drained, and don't leave it sitting at 100% for weeks.
If range is your main priority, compare bikes before you modify one. The 79Bike Lynx has the same 10kW/410 Nm rating as the Falcon Pro but a 40Ah battery. The Falcon GT is the most powerful 79Bike, at 16kW.
Upgrade Your Brakes and Suspension to Match
More power means you'll arrive at corners faster. Before or alongside a controller, look at Formula E-Moto Brakes or the EBike Garage Moto Brake Conversion Kit, plus the EXT Suspension Upgrade Bundle if you're riding aggressively.
Legal Note
The Falcon Pro is sold as an off-road electric dirt bike. Adding power doesn't change that. Check your local rules before riding anywhere public.
