Electric Cycle Rider tests the exact 79BIKE Falcon GT in an 11-minute review covering the first ride, braking, ergonomics, power, and comparison with other lightweight electric dirt bikes. The video is useful because it asks whether the Falcon GT feels controlled and usable off road, not only whether it has a large power number.
The reviewer highlights strong acceleration, full-suspension traction, knobby-tire grip, and four-piston Lewis EB brake performance. The review also notes a slightly light or tall front-end feel during aggressive riding, some throttle-response delay, battery movement, and rear-linkage play on the tested unit. Those observations give experienced riders practical points to inspect during setup and early ownership.
The current Street Rides page lists a 72V 40Ah battery, 16 kW peak power, up to 95 km/h, and up to 120 km of maximum mileage. The video supports the 16 kW and 72V 40Ah positioning, but it does not verify the Samsung 50S cell designation, a controlled range result, or the listed 95 km/h speed. The page also shows 16.8 kW in a comparison block; the detailed 16 kW figure is used here as the primary specification.
At 69 kg and with motorcycle-style power, the Falcon GT is intended for experienced adult riders with secure storage, transport access, private land, or permitted off-road locations. It is not a normal Canadian commuter e-bike. Confirm provincial and municipal rules before riding on public roads, bike lanes, or shared trails, and use motorcycle-level protective gear and riding judgment.
