The Faraday Porteur Electric Powered eBike concept created by Faraday Bikes, which was called “the ultimate modern utility bicycle” by the Oregon Manifest bicycle design competition, has now arrived on the Kickstarter website and is looking for pre-orders to help the Faraday Porteur Electric Powered eBike make the jump into production. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
Innovative Pedal-Assist Technology
The Faraday Porteur is equipped with a patent-pending pedal-assist system, which has been designed to provide a subtle yet powerful rush of power when you start to pedal, say its creators. This innovative technology ensures that riders can enjoy a seamless and enhanced cycling experience without the abrupt jolts that are common in many other eBikes. The batteries that power the eBike are cleverly hidden within the frame, maintaining the bike’s sleek and classic aesthetic while providing power for the bike’s Boost Mode.
“Holding the thumb switch down activates Faraday’s secret weapon – ‘BOOST MODE’, an extra surge of power to help tackle the toughest hills, brave the fiercest winds, and bring out the biggest smiles. An e-ink display on the handlebar controller tells you how much battery you have at a glance.”
Design and Practicality
The Faraday Porteur is not just about power; it’s also about design and practicality. The bike features a lightweight yet sturdy frame, making it easy to maneuver through urban environments. The integrated front and rear lights ensure visibility and safety during night rides. Additionally, the bike comes with a front rack that can carry groceries, work supplies, or any other essentials, making it a perfect companion for daily commutes or weekend adventures.
The Faraday Bikes design is currently over on the Kickstarter website looking to raise enough pledges. If you think the Faraday Porteur eBike is something you could benefit from, jump over to the Kickstarter website now to make a pledge and help the Faraday Porteur concept eBike become a reality.
Environmental Impact and Future Prospects
One of the most compelling aspects of the Faraday Porteur is its potential to reduce environmental impact. By providing a viable alternative to cars for short to medium commutes, the eBike can help decrease carbon emissions and reduce traffic congestion in urban areas. The bike’s electric assist makes it accessible to a broader range of people, including those who might not be able to ride a traditional bike due to physical limitations.
Moreover, the success of the Faraday Porteur on Kickstarter could pave the way for more innovative eBike designs in the future. As cities around the world continue to invest in cycling infrastructure, the demand for high-quality, reliable eBikes is likely to grow. Faraday Bikes is positioning itself at the forefront of this movement, offering a product that combines cutting-edge technology with timeless design.
