The Faraday Company debuted their new Porteur model bicycle at CES 2014. The bike has a cool style and is extremely functional. It has a sleek design that is truly eye catching. Your friends will never believe that it is electric. I am sure that you are asking yourself "Why was this bike at CES?" Well, CES is about more than just super high tech gadgets and gear it is also about the new and innovative ways that technologies can be used.
The Porteur uses the eInk technology to display its battery life. This is important to make sure that your bike is always ready to go. eInk is the technology used in eletronic paper displays such as eReaders. It provides great contrast in any light and is always on. eInk had several really cool innovative ways to use their technology from the super big, one meter long clock called clockone to reusable luggage tags. These uses of eInk are clever and practical. Faraday is currently taking pre-orders for the second production set that will be available sometime this summer.
