E-bikes have evolved significantly in just a few short years, transforming from basic pedal-assist bikes into advanced machines that change how we navigate our daily lives. In a market that’s becoming increasingly competitive, it’s not enough for brands to just keep up—they need to innovate.
What really stands out is how Euphree listens and adapts. The Stellar Falcon represents a thoughtful progression from their previous models, like the City Robin and City Robin X+, incorporating user feedback and tech improvements to better serve today’s e-bike riders.
At first glance of the specs, seeing the Stellar Falcon ship with both a selectable cadence or torque sensor, programmable motor sensitivity and power, an air fork over a coil fork, and Schwalbe tires, I was quickly intrigued by what the Stellar Falcon had to offer.
After putting over 100 miles on the Stellar Falcon, it’s clear that Euphree isn’t just following trends; they’re actively shaping them, specifically within the Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) e-bike segment. The Stellar Falcon isn’t just another new model—it reflects Euphree’s ongoing efforts to innovate and make a mark in the DTC e-bike market.
My Experience Riding The Euphree Stellar Falcon E-Bike
It’s hard to start yapping away at how the bike rides without addressing its curb appeal. The paint on the Stellar Falcon is a deep metallic paint with a nice layer of clear coat that impressed most of us here at the office. While the brand’s logo is on the bike, it’s smaller than most and not obnoxiously large.
The cable management and wires are all nearly routed from the handlebars, down through the headset and inside the frame for a very modern, clean look we have come to expect these days but down always see.
This Mid-Step frame is advertised as fitting riders between 5′ 5″ and 6′ 4″, me being right in the middle of that at 5′ 11″, I found the fit to be very good for me with room to go in either direction. Plus, the Zoom 110mm stem has 90 degrees of adjustability allowing me to dial-in a good fit even further.
The riding position of the Stellar Falcon is upright, not quite cruiser upright, but also not so low that you look like you’re on a performance MTB, it’s more of a comfy hybrid position.
All the cockpit components like the PAS control buttons, throttle, brake levers and shifters are in the right spots where you intuitively place your hands, no awkward looking, feeling around or re-arranging needed to access, it all just works well in its current setup.
Pedaling the bike feels as you would expect, fluid and smooth, largely in part due to the choice of the Schwalbe Johnny Watts tires sized at 27.5×2.8″. We often see so many e-bikes with larger 3, 4, or even sometimes 5-inch wide tires. Sure, they lend to stability, but they also add weight, reduce range, and make a lot of rolling noise. To me, 2.8 inches thick is a nice choice that still inspires stability and confidence when pedaling varied terrain but does not go overboard with big specs.
The Stellar Falcon comes equipped with both a cadence and turquoise sensor, so there is no need to make us pick, which I love to see. Some folks hear these terms and don’t know which one they should get. Having both lets riders play with each other and get a feel for what they like.
I found the cadence sensor to be (as expected) fairly more punchy than the torque sensor as it gives a full blast of power when the pedals start turning, whereas the torque sensor measures the rider’s effort (power and speed of pedaling) to try and vary the power delivery in a more natural feel. That’s an oversimplification, but either way, having both as an option is a standout feature not many other bikes have the bragging rights to.
Speaking of pedal power, the 90 Newton meters (Nm) of torque mated to the 750W (1200W peaking) performed very well in both casual rides with quick acceleration and on local steep hills with confident climbing.
After logging quite a few miles on all sorts of local rides, from city commutes to off-road jaunts, the Stellar Flacon always left me pleased with its performance and even more so with its comfort. It’s a bike I could ride for hours with no complaints.
Range
Estimated Range (from Euphree ): Up to 70 miles
Real World Range Test Results in PAS 1 (Eco Mode): 67 miles
Real World Range Test Results in PAS 4 (Turbo Mode): 26 miles
The Euphree Stellar Falcon’s 720Wh battery powering the 750W rear hub motor that the brand estimates will deliver up to 70 miles of range.
In our range testing, the Stellar Falcon saw 68 miles from a single charge in PAS 1 mode. This gave me almost 6 hours of total ride time, a very solid result for an e-bike. When it comes to Turbo mode, the bike still was able to cover 26 miles at a blistering pace. Sure, going fast drains the battery faster and reduces range, but it sure is fun doing that test.
It’s worth mentioning that during the test, I used the bike’s torque sensor. This was a conscious choice as I was hoping the varied power delivery of a torque sensor would yield more miles over the more ‘all-or-nothing’ power delivery of the cadence sensor option.
Power (Motor & Battery)
The Euphree Stellar Falcon comes with a geared rear hub motor made by Bafang. It has a nominal power output of 750W watts with the ability to peak at 1250 watts and has a very respectable 90 Nm of torque. Activating the motor, Euphree opted to give us both a cadence or a torque sensor to work with that can be selected at your convenience through the bike’s display.
The bike is UL 2849 certified showing the brands investment into safer e-bike batteries. The bike comes with a free thermal protected battery bag for safe off the bike charging. The battery can be locked in place with the provided key, or, owners can opt to remove the battery for storage and/or security.
The entire bike and battery has a 2 year warranty and Euphree claims the battery will have a life cycle of 850 charges from its LG internal battery cells. The battery itself weighed-in at around 8.6 lbs.
There are four riding modes (Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo), each giving incremental power increases as you move up from Eco to Turbo. For riders who like to have full control over their e-bike’s motor and performance, it’s nice that you can go into the display and fine-tune each mode to be as wild or mild as you want. Coupling that motor tuning with the choice of a torque or cadence sensor for your rides shows how Euphree really focused on letting you, the owner, dictate the ride.
Components
The component lineup on the Euphree Stellar Falcon is more than sufficient, especially considering its price point, where it competes with bikes that often offer less.
Starting with the cockpit, you have a flat bar with a slight rise, measuring 29 inches wide (around 740mm). The bar is outfitted with Velo lock-on ergo grips in black rubber, which I think feels comfortable and stable.
On the left side, you’ll find a push throttle and a small color display, while the middle section houses a Zoom 90-degree adjustable stem with an integrated SP Connect mount, perfect for securing your phone or GPS. On the right side, there’s a Shimano Index Shifter, a bell, and the Tektro E350 Brake levers.
For to the saddle, Eupree opted for a nice wide, spring supported Selle Saddle paired with a Suntour NCX suspension seat post with a 27.2mm diameter and about 50 mm of travel. This seat post also provides roughly 6.5 inches of adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the fit.
I can personally vouch for the comfort; it’s a seriously comfy ride.
The Stellar Falcon rolls on fast and quiet Schwalbe Johnny Watts 27.5×2.8″ tires, which are not only known for their performance but also have a reflective stripe on the sidewall and puncture protection from flats.
One of my favorite features of the Stellar Falcon is its suspension fork. Unlike many e-bikes in this price range that come with coil forks, this model is equipped with an SR Suntour X132 air fork, offering 110mm of travel along with preload, rebound, and lockout adjustments. The air fork provides a much smoother and more responsive ride, which is a welcome upgrade over the standard coil forks we often see at this price point.
The bike is well-equipped for commuting, with front and rear LED lighting—200-lux for the headlight and an integrated brake light at the rear. It also comes with practical features like front and rear black alloy fenders, a rear rack rated for 55 lbs, and a mounting point on the front of the frame for an additional rack that can carry up to 25 lbs. The total payload capacity for the Stellar Falcon, in both frame configurations, is 350 lbs.
For stopping power, the bike uses Tektro E350 hydraulic brakes with a motor cut-off feature where any actuation of the brake lever will stop motor assistance.
Finally, the drivetrain consists of a Shimano Altus 8-speed setup, featuring a 50T chainring, 170mm aluminum cranks, and an 11-32t cassette in the rear, offering a good range of gears for most riding conditions. I never felt the bike was undergeared or over-geared, it seems like a good sweet spot for this bike.
Screen / User Interface / App
The Euphree Stellar Falcon features a color LCD display that presents all the essential riding data right on the home screen. You’ll find the speed, time, PAS level, odometer, battery level, and average speed clearly displayed.
For those who like to fine-tune their ride, holding the plus and minus buttons on the control pad takes you into the advanced settings. Here, you can adjust units of measurement, language, auto-off time, and display brightness. You can also switch between the cadence or torque sensor and customize the power delivery across the four riding modes, whether you prefer a fast, punchy ride or a more mild and relaxed experience—or anything in between.
Euphree Stellar Falcon Model Options
The Euphree Stellar Falcon Mid-Step comes in two frame options, a ‘Mid-Step’ and a ‘Step-Through’. The Mid-Step version is designed for those between 5’5″ and 6’4″, featuring a 23″ frame with a seat post that adjusts from 23″ to 29.5″. With a reach of 16.25″ and a wheelbase of 46″.
The Step-Through model is slightly smaller, accommodating riders from 5’2″ to 6’1″. This version features a 19″ frame with a seat post range of 22″ to 28.5″ and the same 46″ wheelbase. Both frames are available in four different colors I think all look really nice, including Black Cherry, Crimson Red, Galaxy Blue, and Onyx Black.
Included with the bike are several useful accessories, such as a thermal-protected battery storage and charging bag, which adds an extra layer of safety despite the bike’s UL 2849 certification. Riding gloves, a bike lock, and a handlebar-mounted rearview mirror are also provided as free accessories with purchase (at the time of writing this).
For those looking to customize their ride further, Euphree has several other optional accessories like front and rear cargo baskets, SP Connect phone cases and spare tires and tubes.
Is The Euphree Stellar Falcon Worth Buying?
The term “SUV bike” gets thrown around a lot these days, often used to describe any bike with a suspension fork. But what truly defines an SUV bike? Just like an SUV vehicle, an SUV bike should be versatile, capable of handling a variety of tasks with ease.
The Euphree Stellar Falcon fits this description well, excelling in city commutes, grocery runs, and even light trail riding. While it has its limitations—much like an SUV isn’t built for conquering the Rubicon, the Stellar Falcon isn’t designed to dominate the Red Bull Rampage—that’s entirely by design.
Pros
- Cadence or Torque Sensor? The Stellar Falcon is equipped with both and you can select between either easily within the display.
- The Bafang 750W hub motor can peak at up to 1200 W’s with 90 Nm of torque and confidently accelerates, handles hill climbs with relative ease, and can reach speeds of up to 28 mph.
- The Schwalbe Johnny Watts tires sized at 27.5×2.8″ are very nice, quiet rolling, have a reflective stripe and puncture protection.
- The SR Suntour X132 suspension fork has preload, rebound, and lockout, plus a suspension seat post for some serious comfort and varied terrain capability.
- A front headlight rated at 200 Lux, Rear taillight/Brake light combo, a rear rack and fenders make the Stellar Falcon a strong commuting contender.
Cons
- At nearly 75 lbs, the Stellar Falcon’s weight is something to consider if you move or lift your bike often for storage or transport.
So, is the Euphree Stellar Falcon worth it? That’s ultimately for you to decide. But when you start comparing specs and performance against other e-bikes in the market, the Stellar Falcon certainly stands out as one that should be on your shortlist.
