It's wonderful: you order it, a bike shop assembles it, you ride it: life is good. Easier than a kit, and just a joy to ride. The fact that it's gorgeous is just an extra.
The Faraday Porteur S is a fantastic ride, but it lacks one feature quite a few people need. The battery is non-removable for charging off the bike. This is a problem, as storing a bike in a garage, etc, exposes the battery to extreme temperatures. Constant hot/cold drastically reduces the life and performance of the bikes battery. If the op is going to keep the bike indoors when rot riding, then this is a non-issue.
