Faraday eBike Parts & Service — Santa Cruz, CA
Faraday made some of the best-looking e-bikes ever built — the Porteur and Cortland are still turning heads. The company is gone, though, and that's created a real problem for owners: the batteries are dying and there's almost nowhere to get them replaced.
We stock compatible bottle batteries for Faraday bikes and can handle most service needs in-house. If the electrical system has deeper issues, a Faraday is actually a great candidate for a conversion — good frame, good geometry, worth saving. We can install one of our conversion kits and bring it back to life as a properly functioning e-bike.
Bring it in and we'll assess what it needs. Repair, battery swap, or full conversion — we'll lay out the options.

Faraday Beyond Saving? Convert It.
If your Faraday's electronics are too far gone for parts replacement — controller dead, motor wiring corroded, multiple failures — the frame is still worth keeping. The Porteur and Cortland are beautiful, ride well, and accept a hub motor conversion cleanly.
Our front hub e-bike conversion kit works as a complete drivetrain replacement for Faraday frames. New motor, new battery, new controller, new throttle, new PAS — full reset to a working e-bike, often for less than sourcing all the original Faraday parts.
Bring your Faraday in for a free assessment — we'll lay out repair vs conversion costs and you decide.
