Faraday Bicycles™ is a new company dedicated to revolutionary bicycle innovation and design. We are engineers, designers, and industry veterans who passionately believe that better bikes make a better world. Bicycles trim our waistlines, brighten our commutes, help make our cities cleaner and more vibrant, and bring a smile to our faces. So we’ve designed this bike with one simple goal: Give more people more to smile about.
Inspired by the classic European delivery bikes of the 1940’s and 50’s and updated with state-of-the-art components and construction techniques, the award-winning Faraday Porteur allows novice and experienced riders alike to go farther, faster, with ease. It’s impossible to tell it’s electric until you ride it – and then it’s impossible to imagine riding anything else. Our flagship product is the Faraday Porteur – the bike that was dubbed “the ultimate modern utility bike” by the Oregon Manifest bicycle design competition.
The Faraday Porteur will surprise your friends when you tell them it’s electric, and it will surprise YOU when you realize just how much is possible on a bicycle with a little “boost”. Everything you need to ride safely and comfortably has been considered, from integrated front and rear lights to a sturdy, frame-mounted front rack, wood fenders, accessory bag, and 8-speed internal hub.
Frame sizes: S (51cm), M (55cm), L (59cm). See below for additional sizing information. Shifting is a breeze with an 8-spd Shimano Alfine internally geared hub.
You’ll stop on a dime with Avid mechanical disc brakes.
Faraday’s 350W motor (upped from 250W from the pre-production model) is frictionless and silent, but packs the punch of a Tour de France cyclist.
A custom 195Wh battery delivers 15-20 miles of full pedal-assist riding. Turn the pedal-assist off, and we’re pretty sure you could ride forever.
At 39 pounds (without the rack), the Porteur is light enough to carry up stairs or load on the bus.
A swiss-made scissoring kickstand tucks out of the way, then easily deploys for the ultimate in convenience.
