What I like about the Faraday campaign is that it appears they under promised and overdelivered on the specs.. The motor was increased from 250 to 350 watts. May hurt the range a bit but everything else seems to square with their original promise. The KS stated range of 10 to 15 miles looks safe.
Not sure who would be interested in this type of bike (high style, low performance, expensive), but that is immaterial.. they kept their promise to those who did back them.
Based on their KS webpage https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/faradaybikes/faraday-porteur there were 46 backers for the pilot run.. The original delivery schedule was April 2013, so it slipped 11 months.We are sorry to say that Faraday's pilot production of the Porteur, scheduled to begin shipping in March, 2014, is entirely sold out! Our second production run will begin shipping by late summer, 2014. Reserve your Faraday and ensure the earliest delivery possible by reviewing our terms and conditions and clicking the "pre-order" box below.
