Faraday Cortland (2016)

The 2016 Faraday Cortland is an electric bike. Closely paralelling Faraday's flagship Porteur, the Corland is built on a lightweight chromoly frame, with its battery ensconced tidily behind the seat tube, and populated with simple, reliable componentry throughout. The geartrain is driven by a Gates carbon belt, the single-ring crankset pushing a Shimano hub with Alfine internal gearing. Brakes are hydraulic disc, saddle and grips are comfortable leather. The motor is near silent; in addition to the power assist, the Cortland includes front and rear lights and a stem-mounted display.
A good electric-assist recreational bike.
