illi News/10018468

WASHINGTON - May 15, 2019 - illiNews -- Falco eMotors, the leader in direct drive technology for e-bikes, e-tikes, cargo bikes, recumbents, tandems, and hand-cycles today announced it has been awarded US Patent #10,305,352 from the USPTO for its unique approach to liquid cooling of gear-less, brush-less permanent magnet direct drive motors. Leveraging their extensive direct drive infrastructure, Falco has developed the capability to automatically and transparently cool direct drive motors using unique liquid solution and mechanical architecture.

"Since the company's inception, Falco's innovations have focused on delivering strong, robust, reliable and fail-safe direct drive solutions for light electric vehicles," said Rakesh Dhawan, President of Falco eMotors. "Our earlier patents are focused on unique motor and inverter architectures, which made us one of the only companies capable of offering exceptional torque and power and Zero free wheel resistance. This latest patent protects the years of investment and invention that we've put into our direct drive technology."

As thousands of new mid-drive and geared motors threaten the purity of cycling through an avalanche of full suspension mountain eBikes, Falco's direct drive hardware and software are continually being updated with new architectures, versions, and updates to thwart this challenge. Earlier direct drive technology solutions in the industry relied on three-phase motor architecture and struggled for balance in distinguishing suitable bike applications from the bad. This trend resulted in a high rate of disappointments and acute need for Falco's five-phase architecture and liquid cooling technology. Falco's extraordinary suite of apps and software offers unlimited customization and storage of unique riding profiles into its eDrive technology. Falco eDrive has eliminated the need for multiple models and systems by offering customer-specific eBike behavior in a flash.
