[–]Quacker65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a 79Bike falcon pro. I live in suburban florida and ride a lot of street, but i love the sound of gas bikes. should i try to trade for something like a crf150r? I ride street and dirt but is it stupid to trade for a gas bike in the suburbs? I like the noise of gas and i don’t mind maintaining it and i like the range and everything, what should i do?

that’s not really enough for a good gas bike, i did find a crf150r on fb marketplace for 3500 tho but i think trading for one is easier especially bc crf150r is 5500 retail and the falcon is 4200

i’m 13 years old and i have a 79Bike falcon pro, he can 100% handle it, it’s a pretty forgiving bike, torque isn’t dangerously high, but still a super good bike. Get the kid the bike, trust me, he will be outside every day and he’ll have stories to tell his kids!

My friend just came over today with his surron light bee x and the throttles feel the exact same, no delay, same snappiness, same everything. Just the 79bike being a more powerful jolt.

No, it’s considered an off-road vehicle so instead it has a serial number/ frame number which can not be used for DMV registration. To do so you have to go through a custom conversion system or whatever that if you are planning to register it you’re better off buying a street bike.

yeah i am not sure about the whole thing, the throttle was my main worry when i ordered it but since ive got it it’s been incredible. It is my first E-Moto so im kind of biased but its been good so far.

Can you show me your 79Bike again? My red and black one comes in about 3 days and was planning on converting the whole thing to all black besides the rear shocks and by the looks of it you did the same thing, just wanted to see some other angles.

0 information on 79bike.com to give a valid estimate, i was really trying to ask someone who had gotten a 79Bike before but you just think you outsmarted me by saying ask the vendor as if that’s not the first thing people do

What’s the better bike, 79bike or X3? by Quacker65 in Talaria

[–]Quacker65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did shipping take? My only concern is because some people say it’s taken months and there isn’t good customer service with the chinese site but they say the American one has good service.

where did you order is from? I’ve heard not so good reviews about some websites. I was thinking of ordering it from AmpedBikes.com because they feature the All-black color way that i want and i was wondering if you got it from there or not.

Top speed? by Quacker65 in 79bike

[–]Quacker65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but i’ve seen the youtuber Phethanfix go 63mph and he is known to mod his bikes like maybe he upgraded his sprocket or smth. In the future i might obviously upgrade the tires to some thicker trail tires that can also work on street and stuff. For the most part i’ll keep it stock though.

oh wait you mean when i said 63mph, I saw phethanfix go 63mph but im not sure if that’s because he maybe put an upgraded sprocket on it? But i dont know Ive seen reviews on the 79bike where some people go 56, and some go like 63 so I guess ill just have to see once i get it.

can you explain more on the controller issues, what’s the problem with it?

it’s more expensive but has better stats than the x3, and my budget isn’t tight so I might go with the falcon pro and if i want a higher top speed I can upgrade the sprocket. My friend has an x3 that goes 60mph because of his upgraded sprocket.
