The electric unicycle Begode Falcon is for you if you’re tired of bulky unicycles.
The race has been on for more than a decade. Electric unicycles have been getting bigger and more powerful.
Then, in 2021, suspension Wheels arrived, but they all focused on hefty 18″ tires. What if you could perform similarly in a sleek, compact 14″ Wheel?
Meet the Falcon. It’s the first in its class to offer a fully functional suspension system, including rebound. Now, you can enjoy high performance without the bulk.
Falcon’s Groundbreaking Suspension
The Falcon redefines what’s possible in the small wheel class by integrating a suspension system—a first of its kind.
With 60mm of travel, it’s perfectly tuned for the speeds and use cases this Wheel was built for.
The highly customizable suspension allows riders to swap coils for a stiffer or softer ride.
The default orange springs, rated for up to 90kg, are favored even by heavier riders for their plush feel.
The oil-filled coilover design includes an adjustable rebound, similar to high-end models like the Leaperkim Wheels, but at a fraction of the cost.
Some seasoned riders claim that the Falcon’s suspension outperforms pricier models like the King Song S22 and S16.
The electric unicycle Begode Falcon is equipped with Begode’s large display, which puts essential information right where you need it—beneath a prominent, easy-to-read speedometer.
You can check your battery level, ride mode, controller temperature, and total mileage.
The Falcon is powered by Begode’s latest compact 24-MOSFET controller, delivering a max current of 280A—the highest in its size class.
This powerful controller supports field weakening, a motor control technique that increases top speed by trading some torque. This technique is ideal for those who crave that extra burst.
Unlike previous designs, power smoothing capacitors are mounted directly to the controller to enhance reliability and safety.
The Falcon is equipped with an ultra-wide 14×3.5″ tubeless tire, following in the footsteps of the A2.
Going tubeless significantly reduces the risk of flats, as more minor punctures self-seal, and larger ones can be easily plugged without needing to replace an inner tube.
Weighing just 55 lbs, the Falcon stands out for its compact design and intelligent engineering, especially considering its high-performance specs.
The motor and batteries account for a significant portion of the Wheel’s weight—nearly 42% is dedicated to the motor and tire alone.
In any Electric Unicycle, the major components like the motor, battery pack, and tire are weight constants.
Falcon’s battery pack, using 21700 cells at 72g each, contributes 28% of the net weight.
The remaining components comprise just 30% of the total, reflecting the careful balance between power and portability.
Riders often find that stock pads don’t conform well to their legs, leading to discomfort and limiting their performance.
The Falcon solves this common issue by pre-applying Velcro to the sides of the wheel, allowing you to easily swap out the stock pads for alternative or custom pads.
The Falcon sets a new standard with its 8 Amp maximum charge rate, nearly three times that of previous 100V/900Wh Begode battery packs.
With the included 5A charger, you can charge the wheel from 0 to 80% in less than an hour or reach a full charge in about 90 minutes.
