Falcon Horizon Low Step 17" Electric Hybrid Bike
The all‑new Falcon Horizon Low Step is one of the best value electric bikes on the market — perfectly suited to comfortable commutes, errands and weekend rides into town, along canal towpaths or across country parks. It pairs practical commuter kit with confident electric assistance for a smooth, enjoyable ride every time.
Everyday performance and convenience
The Horizon’s low‑step 6061 alloy frame makes getting on and off effortless and is recommended for riders from 5'0" to 5'10" (152–178 cm). The frame houses an integrated 375Wh removable battery that delivers up to 40 miles / 64 km of range and recharges from flat in around 5 hours. Charge on the bike or remove the pack to charge indoors if you don’t have a convenient socket near your storage.
Strong, reliable motor and intuitive controls
Powered by a well‑regarded Bafang rear hub motor that produces 32 Nm of torque, the Horizon makes light work of hills and keeps cruising effortless on the flat. Choose from three assistance modes via the clear handlebar display — which also shows speed and battery level — and use the walk‑assist mode to help push the bike up steep sections.
Comfort, control and low maintenance
The Horizon is fitted with a 1x7 Shimano drivetrain and an upgraded Altus/RapidFire trigger shifter for crisp, reliable gear changes. Low‑maintenance mechanical disc brakes provide confident stopping power in all conditions. An 80 mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout smooths rough surfaces and can be locked out for efficient pedalling on smoother roads.
Rider comfort and finishing touches
An adjustable stem lets you dial in a comfortable reach to the ergonomic lock‑on grips. Contact points include a padded Selle Royal Freeway saddle and city‑style pedals for everyday comfort. For safety and peace of mind the Horizon uses puncture‑protected tyres with a reflective sidewall strip to boost visibility in low light.
Commuter‑ready kit
Delivered ready to ride, the Horizon comes with full‑length mudguards, a sturdy pannier rack with rear reflector and a kickstand fitted as standard — so you can carry shopping or luggage without fuss.
