aluminum alloy, this offers great strength to weight and vibration dampening but can also rust if scratched up over time, thankfully the bikes all come with touch-up paint I love how stealthy these e-bikes are, you can hardly tell they are electric, but the downtube-mounted battery pack is not easily removable if you have to park outside or in a garage the battery cells could take more extreme cold and heat exposure which will degrade them faster Charging requires you to bring the entire bike near an outlet since the battery cannot be removed, this could be inconvenient if you have to park outside at a rack during work hours (most racks I have seen do not have electrical outlets nearby) I have never experienced a chain drop on a Faraday, but there isnt a full chain guide to keep it from falling off inward, just an alloy guard on the outside to protect your pants The Faraday Civic Edition only comes in one frame style, high step, and its pretty tall the company sells a model called the Cortland but not with the upgrades found here The bell is really nice, positioned out of the way and it feels durable, but its not easy to reach when steering the bike, you have to take a hand off to ring it which just isnt convenient or safe By mounting the hub motor in the front wheel, a bit more weight has been added to the steering feel, I also noticed that the front tire could occasionally spin if I was climbing a steep hill and my body weight was shifted towards the back of the bike, not a huge issue but worth noting compared to a rear motor design It seems like there is plenty of room on the downtube, seat tube, and below the top tubes for a pair of bottle cage bosses I asked about this and was told that there are wires running through the frame and they didnt want to interfere with them, consider an SKS Anywhere Adapter like this to mount your folding lock, mini-pump, or bottle cage or just get a handlebar mount cup holder like these No throttle mode here, you have to pedal in order to make all of the Faraday electric bikes go but their torque and cadence sensing bottom bracket is smooth and responsive, a smartphone app is in the works that will allow you to dial it in to your preferences The thumb switch control module is easy to use while riding but limited on what is shown (an e-ink display shows approximate battery charge level with 14 bars) to get speed, estimated range and other information youll need a smart phone with the app someday plus a mount and that could drain your phone battery (no USB charging ports on this e-bike), the E-Ink works well in bright and low lights but is unreadable at night because its not backlit No quick release systems on the wheels or seat tube but this is really a city bike designed to be theft-resistant (you can even get special locking bolt kits from Faraday) This particular model doesnt come with fenders, it looks like the larger tires take up too much room, this could be a deal killer for people who live in wet conditions Resources: Official Site: More Pictures:
