More people are using bikes for transportation---this is a good thing. But depending on your commute, your local terrain, and the amount of stuff you need to tote back and forth, it can also be a tall order. Enter electric bikes, which can turn an impossible trip into a joyride. Over the past month, we got a chance to take the Faraday Porteur for a spin; the bike, which began its life as a Kickstarter project back in 2012 and is finally available for general purchase, is one of the most elegant and zippy e-bikes we’ve tried. Watch the video for a dive on its features, its benefits, and its not-so-benefits (at 39 pounds, you won't be slinging it around all that easily).
