Charger seems well built and says it UL certified which is a myst nowadays. Cant find any complaints works well .
I've had the Philodo Falcon (step over) for over a month. I've taken it on paved, gravel and dirt roads. Having both a front and rear shock make the ride extremely comfortable. I've also taken it up some fairly steep hills. It goes everywhere with ease. It has more power than I will ever use. For safety reasons, I've actually adjusted down the power in the controller. Although the brakes are dual vs quad caliper, it has no problem stopping. Also, you can add an adjustable stem to increase the riding comfort. Overall, you can't beat the features of this bike for the price!
Since it's an all wheel drive ebike, it's super heavy ~ over 100 lbs with the battery. You will also need to buy a bike carrier with a ramp. Unless you are planning to ride on sandy beaches, mud and other extreme environments, having an all wheel drive bike isn't really necessary. Sure, I found it marginally useful going uphill in loose gravel...but wasn't completely necessary. Also, I would avoid this bike if you are new to ebikes. It has a ton of power and when you shift into a new level of pedal assist, you need to hang on. For new riders, it might be a little unnerving. Also, in retrospect, I should have opted for a step through vs. step over. If you are planning to carry items on the back, it's difficult to swing your leg over or tilt the bike.
Although I've never run out of juice, I am estimating the mileage per charge will vary between 25 and 60. If you use full throttle and do not plan to pedal, then you will probably get 25 miles per charge. If you use pedal assist, up/ down hills on multi surfaces with minimal throttle... you will probably get 50 miles. I suppose you could get more than 60 miles if you only used the first level of pedal assist and rode on flat pavement.
Accurately described, quick delivery, excellent customer service, I would highly reccomend.
Love these bikes! I recently bought my second bike from Philodo. I picked up the Jumbo and I'm pleased with it and have about 600 miles on it so far. I also have the Philodo H-8 (48volt).
Pros And Cons: The H-8 is a quicker bike. It is lighter than the Jumbo by about 20 pounds and I find it easier to maneuver on back country trails/woods roads.
The Jumbo picks things up where the H-8 leaves off at a trade off of a few MPH slower and a 20 pound gain but gives you full suspension and TWO batteries one being an in frame mount. The Jumbo goes greater distance out of the box and rides like a tank! You'll feel invincible on it I live in the mountains and BOTH bikes have the power to climb hills.
I have both bikes in my fleet now and love them both. One compliments the other. If I'm heading out on the back roads and trails I take the H-8. If I'm doing mostly paved roads and gravel and want more distance its the Jumbo for sure.
I highly recommend elevating your biking experience with a Philodo bike! More range more torque and good value than many others on the market. The company stands by their bikes and has top notch support. I have even used their support team to get going and they will do everything to get you on the trail. Cola, thank you for your help with my bikes! Both are running strong!
Attached are some "Philodographs" of my fleet and an action shot or two.
Elevate your biking experience! Get on a Philodo!
I love my Falcon. Real purchaser. I can ride even with my bad knee. No need to stand up going up hills anymore like on a regular bike. Just pedal. Hills make riding a regular bike completely awful in my opinion. This is the most fun I have had on 2 wheels in a very long time. So nice to get some outdoor exercise without my knee hurting like crazy. The off road ability is impressive. Haven't met a hill it won't climb with both motors engaged.
I was pleasantly surprised with the Falcon and my husband loves his bike as well. Fantastic birthday gift!
