8 years agoI took advantage of Faraday’s great winter financing offer to purchase this bike for my wife. It is a beautiful bike and very light weight compared to my 50 lb. Blix Vika+ folding electric bike.
The battery range is very limited and more like 10-12 miles on regular assist. We will definitely be investing in the auxiliary battery once it becomes available again. It’s not presently on the Faraday website for purchase.
This bike is for more active riders who will ride it with no assist on flat ground. My wife wanted a bike that would give her help when needed but mostly ride like a non-electric bike. This fits that bill perfectly but the bike is so fun she would also like to ride it well beyond the current battery range. For now that will have to mean carrying the charger and planning for a three-hour break to fully charge the bike again.

8 years agoI enjoyed hearing your feedback Don, these Faraday ebikes look nice and are so light and efficient it’s easy to ride unassisted… glad your wife is enjoying hers so far. Hope they get more of the auxiliary batteries in stock so you can get one soon and go further :)
