Quick S T Ar T Guide QUICKSTART GUIDE ELECTRIC. PERFECTED. Hello! Welcome to Faraday. You are the proud new owner of the ultimate electric propelled utility bicycle. Here at Faraday our mission is to enable you to do more than you ever thought possible on a bike. We designed the Faraday Porteur just for you, to let you smile a whole lot more, and drive your car a whole lot less. Sounds good, right? Whether you ride your Faraday to the office, to the park, to the store, or just around town with friends, we’re confident you’ll be amazed at what happens when you add a little BOOST to a beautiful, hand-made bicycle. Get ready to fall in love with your bike all over again. In the next few pages we’ll cover a few basics that will teach you just about everything you need to know about your Faraday. Grab your helmet and your favorite sunglasses and let’s go for a spin. 01 FARADAY 101 i j Getting to know your Porteur A e a saddle i selector k l b f j battery location shifter m c belt drive d k power button d controller l rear light e front light m charge port f front rack (sold separately) g internal hub h motor g h C b 02 03 Power Off/On.

The Porteur is built on a high quality, handmade, chromoly steel frame. once and wait a few seconds for the blue and red lights to come on. To power OFF, press and hold the button for about three seconds, until the lights turn off. The bike will power off automatically after about 10 minutes of non-use. The motor and lights will only function when LED Lights (front and rear). No need to worry about turning them on or off, these super- the power is ON. efficient lights are always on for your safety, day and night (even when the bike’s battery is depleted). To adjust the angle of the front light, simply loosen the bolt on the side. Selector (left handlebar). The Selector controlls the bike’s pedal assist, and has 3 modes; OFF, STANDARD, and BOOST. OFF is indicated by the open circle, STANDARD by the small Kickstand. We’ll be totally honest - the Porteur’s unique double kickstand is the trickiest part circle and BOOST by the larger circle. The E-Ink screen on the selector (“fuel gauge”) will let of the bike for first-timers to figure out. Here’s the secret to getting it right every time. To you know how much battery is left. A full charge will provide 15-20+ miles of assist. Pro Trick: easily raise/lower the kickstand, simply place your hand under the saddle and raise the rear anytime you’re off the bike, click the selector to OFF mode so you won’t accidentally trigger wheel of the bike off the ground - then give the stand a kick. Just like that - you’re a pro. the motor. Charge port. Many people will ask if your Porteur regenerates power. The easy answer is no - Gear shifter (right handlebar). The Porteur comes with a Shimano Alfine 8 speed shifter (8 is charging the battery is as simple as plugging your Faraday into any standard outlet. We ship the highest/hardest gear and 1 is the easies/lowest gear). The gears are located inside the rear your bike with two chargers - one for home, plus a spare for your office/gym/backpack/etc. hub, which means you’ll be able to shift anytime - whether at a standstill or while pedaling. A full charge will take under three hours. More info on charging on the next page. Belt Drive. The Gates Belt Drive is a wonderful alternative to a traditional chain that requires no grease or adjustment. Go ahead, wear those white pants. It’s a perfect fit for the stylish commuter in all of us. 04 05 QUICKSTART Know how to ride a bike? Great! ... you’re 99% of the way there. We designed the Porteur to look and feel lights. Remember that with pedal assist, the motor only provides power while you’re pedaling. There is no just like a regular city bike - it’s simply the best city bike you’ll ever own. Master these easy steps and you’re throttle. Experiment with different assist modes while you ride to customize your experience - everyone’s ready to own the road. style is different. Warning: BOOST mode is REALLY fun! 6. Pedal away! You’re off! Go enjoy your first spin on your Faraday - you might want to warn your friends 1. Put on your helmet. Safety first! and family that you won’t be back for a while. Don’t be ashamed to smile from ear to ear while you ride, 2. Adjust your seat height. Using a 5mm allen (hex) wrench, adjust the saddle to a comfortable height. and remember, it’s only cheating if you’re driving :) Make sure to leave at least 3 inches of seatpost inserted into the frame. If your saddle is either too short 7. Power OFF. All done? Press and hold the power button for three seconds to put your Faraday to sleep. or too long, contact Faraday and we’ll help you out. 8. Don’t forget to charge. The heart and soul of your Faraday is an intelligent lithium-ion battery built into 3. Lower the kickstand. Remember what we said before ... it’s all about lifting the rear wheel. Hold the bike the frame. Unlike older batteries, there is no need to fully deplete the battery before recharging - you can by the saddle, give the rear wheel a lift, kick the kickstand up, and you’re good to go. Hold, lift, kick. recharge anytime. In fact, we recommend recharging as often as possible. To charge your Faraday, simply You’re a natural! plug one end of the provided charger into a standard wall outlet, and the other end into the charge port 4. Power ON. Press the power button on the rear of the controller housing once - no need to hold it down. on the controller housing. Within a few seconds, the circle of rear LED’s will begin to spin, indicating that The lights will turn on in a few seconds. You’re ready to ride! the battery is charging. When the battery is full, all six rear LED’s will switch from spinning to solid ON. You may leave your Faraday plugged in, or remove the charge plug by holding down the mechanical latch 5. Using the Selector. Use the selector to turn the pedal assist ON or OFF, and switch from STANDARD to on the plug and pulling it out of the charge port. A complete charge will take under three hours. BOOST mode. Turning the selector to OFF will provide no motor power, but allow you to use the bike’s 06 07 Important: Even when turned off, your battery will naturally discharge at a very, very slow rate. If you know you won’t be riding for a month or more (for instance, during the winter, or if your Faraday is put in storage), make sure to fully charge your battery before leaving your Faraday unattended. A fully charged battery should easily hold a charge for six months or longer. 9. Basic troubleshooting. Just like your smartphone or tablet, your Faraday is, essentially, a computer (on wheels!). Much like your computer or phone, your bike may occasionally need a re-start. In the unlikely event that you experience unusual behavior with your bike, we recommend simply cycling the power by holding down the Power button for three seconds to turn OFF, then re-starting. If the trouble persists, please contact Faraday at [email protected] and we’ll get you back on the road as quickly as possible. 10. Stay in touch! You’re ready to roll! Hit the road and enjoy it, you’re about to look at cycling in a whole new light. We just have one last request - stay in touch! We’d love to hear all about your experiences and adventures with your Faraday.
