The Philodo Falcon 20" is here. It is a fat tire eBike built for riders who want the Falcon platform in a more accessible package. The 20" model keeps the dual-motor power, the fat tire grip, and the full suspension that Falcon riders already trust. What changes is how the bike fits the rider. High-rise handlebars, a lower center of gravity, and a step-thru frame work together to make the Falcon easier to ride for more people. If you have been curious about the Falcon but were not sure about the 24" size, this is the model to look at.
Why We Built the 20" Falcon?
The 24" Falcon is a capable bike. It has the power and stability that many riders love. But not every rider needs a larger platform. Some riders are shorter. Some want to put both feet down at a stoplight without thinking about it. Some share a bike with a partner or a family member, and one size does not fit everyone.
We built the 20" Falcon for those riders. The goal was simple. We want to keep the performance that people loves about the Falcon, and change the geometry so more riders can feel confident on it. We also wanted more riders to enjoy the Falcon’s power, the fun of its direct and playful handling, and the everyday convenience of a bike that is easy to get on, easy to park, and easy to share.
What Comfort Means on the Falcon 20"?
Comfort on the Falcon 20" is not a marketing word. It comes from specific parts of the bike. Each part solves a different comfort problem.
1. High-Rise Handlebars, Upright Ride
The Falcon 20" uses BMX high-rise handlebars. The first thing you notice is where your hands sit. The grips come up and back toward you, so your back stays straighter and your wrists and shoulders carry less weight. On a long commute, that upright posture makes a real difference. The shape matters as much as the height. The bars have a natural backsweep, so your hands, wrists, and forearms line up instead of bending at an awkward angle. That is what keeps the ride relaxed and comfortable hour after hour.
2. Lower Center of Gravity, Lower Standover
A 20" wheel sits lower to the ground than a 24" wheel. That lowers the whole bike. The Falcon 20" also has a lower standover height. On a step-thru frame, a low standover means you can step through the frame with less effort and stand over the bike with more room to spare. It also makes the bike easier to hold up when you are not moving. More importantly, a lower center of gravity changes how the bike feels at low speed. The bike feels less tippy when you are crawling through traffic, turning into a driveway, or walking it beside you. Riders who want to touch the ground easily at stops will notice this right away.
3. Step-Thru Easy On Easy Off
The step-thru frame is shared with the 24" Falcon. We kept it because it works. A step-thru frame lets you swing your leg through the frame instead of over the seat. That is helpful for riders with knee or hip limitations, seniors, riders wearing bulky clothing, hunters and anglers carrying gear, and anyone who simply want a less awkward mount and dismount.
More Control on a Smaller Wheel
A smaller wheel does not automatically mean less control. On the Falcon 20", the smaller wheel is part of a package that gives the rider more control in the places where control matters most. Most riders spend most of their time at low speed, in tight spaces, and in stop-and-go situations. That is where the 20" shines.
1. Tighter Turns in Tight Spaces
The Falcon 20" has a shorter turning radius than the 24". That means you can make tighter turns in bike lanes, garage entries, campground roads, and narrow hunting access paths. When you need to turn the bike around on a narrow trail, you do not need to reserve the same space as a larger bike. The 20" fat tire platform is agile in the city and easy to place in tight spots.
2. Quicker Response at Same Speed
At low speed, the Falcon 20" responds quickly to steering input. The front wheel changes direction with less effort, and the bike feels eager to follow your line. This matters when you are starting from a stop, merging into traffic or navigating a crowded parking lot. A smaller front wheel has less rotating mass, so it spins up faster and changes direction faster. Riders who want a bike that feels nimble in city conditions will feel the difference immediately.
3. Fat-Tire Grip Without the Bulk
The Falcon 20" runs fat tires. You still get the wide contact patch that gives fat tire eBikes their grip on loose gravel, dirt, sand, and snow. You still get the cushioning effect of a high-volume tire. What you do not get is the extra bulk of a larger wheel.
Built for Commutes, Trails, and Hunting
The Falcon 20" is not a single-purpose bike. It is designed to handle different kinds of riding, and the 20" platform makes it easier to move between them.
Commute: Upright, Nimble, Stop-and-Go
For commuting, the upright posture from the high-rise bars keeps you comfortable in traffic. You can see over car roofs more easily, and your back does not ache after a long ride. The tight turning radius helps in bike lanes and at crowded intersections. The step-thru frame makes it easy to put a foot down at every red light.
Trail: Fat-Tire Grip, Tighter Turns
On trails, the fat tires give you traction on loose surfaces. The full suspension absorbs bumps from roots and rocks. The shorter wheelbase lets you make tighter turns on winding singletrack and forest roads. You can change your line more easily when a rock or a rut appears in front of you.
Hunt: Dual-Motor Torque, Gear, Grades
For hunting, the dual-motor system provides torque for climbing grades and carrying gear. The fat tires handle mud, grass, and soft ground with balanced traction and control. The full suspension keeps the ride controlled when you are moving over uneven access roads, rocky sections, and steep hills. Hunters often carry equipment, and the dual-motor power helps the bike stay strong under load where a standard bike would struggle.
Same Dual-Motor Power, No Compromises
The Falcon 20'' keeps the same core performance that Falcon riders already love on the 24" model. The 20" still has the torque to climb and the power to carry gear.
5000W Peak Dual Motor, 210 Nm Torque: The 20" runs the same 5000W peak dual motor system as the 24" Falcon, with 210 Nm of torque. For hunters carrying gear or commuters facing a long hill, that torque is what makes the bike feel strong.
60V 32Ah LG Battery, Up to 100 Miles: The battery is the same 60V 32Ah pack with LG cells, and range is still up to 100 miles. A full day of hunting, a long commute, or a weekend trail ride does not require a recharge in the middle.
450 lbs Payload, 40-45 MPH Top Speed: The payload rating is still 450 lbs, and top speed is still 40-45 MPH. The bike can carry a rider plus gear and still hold speed on the road.

Who the Falcon 20" Is For
The Falcon 20" is built for riders who want Falcon power and Falcon comfort in a bike that is easier to handle. Here is a quick way to check if it fits you.
The Falcon 20" is for you if:
- You are a shorter rider who wants both feet on the ground at a stop.
- You share one eBike with a partner or family member and need a fit that works for more than one person.
- You commute in tight spaces and deal with frequent stops.
- You hunt or ride trails and want dual-motor torque in a compact frame.
- You prefer the quicker, more direct feel of a smaller wheel.
- You want an upright riding position that is easy on your wrists and shoulders.
The Falcon 20" is built for control, comfort, and accessibility. If the points above sound like your riding style, the Falcon 20" is the right fit.
Conclusion
The Falcon 20" is built for more riders. It keeps the dual-motor power, the full suspension, and the fat tire grip that define the Falcon line. It adds high-rise handlebars, a lower center of gravity, and a tighter 20" stance. The result is a bike that is easier to get on, easier to control at low speed, and easier to share with the people you ride with.
If you want a Falcon that feels more compact, more upright, and more approachable, the 20" is your build. If you want maximum high-speed stability and a larger platform, the 24" is still the right Falcon for you. Either way, you get the same 5000W peak dual motor, 210 Nm of torque, and up to 100 miles of range. The Falcon 20" is proof that a smaller wheel can still carry the same Falcon spirit.
