Okay. So I replaced single quotes with double quotes and I got:

 Which is a clear error message, though I don't see any rational reason for
it since I only want to join files.

So I tried this:
ffmpeg -i motor1.avi -i motor2.avi -i motor3.avi -acodec flac
-compression_level 1 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 30
-filter_complex "[0:0] [0:1] [1:0] [1:1] [2:0] [2:1] concat=n=3:v=1:a=1 [v]
[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]"  motor.mkv

And it worked. So this means I have to mess around with txt files and
concat demuxer too just to merge a couple files without transcoding?
