Overview
About this bike
The award-winning original, and Faraday's finest electric bike. A Gates belt drive makes for a quiet, low-maintenance, and no-mess drivetrain. There are still plenty of gears though, due to the Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal rear hub. Combine that with the pedal-assist front hub motor, and you'll be tackling hills or longer commutes with ease. The Porteur comes decked out with leather grips, steam-bent bamboo fenders, Continental Contact tires, and integrated front and rear LED lights.
