  1. I'm not exactly sure what sort of "Faraday power" you are talking about. But I will address a few that I'm aware of.

    A Faraday is a unit of electrical charge (now obsolete) . So if this is what you are talking about, then yes there are a vast range of electric bikes on the market.

    A Faraday charger uses a series of coils and a magnet which is shaken to generate small amounts of power. Generally used to power things like watches and L.E.D. Torches.  The power generated by a Faraday charger is quite small even in comparison to power used on a bicycle. There may well be someone out there that is nutty enough to prove that a bicycle could be powered this way, so I won't say no, just unlikely. (Peddling is generally regarded as the most efficient method of transforming energy for transport.)

    And finally there is form of power transmission involving microwaves that is connected to Faraday. I imagine that directing a "beam" of microwaves at a bicycle might be a little dangerous for anybody in it's path.(Unless they were enclosed in a Faraday cage) So I'm going to go with no on this one.

    Hopefully I have stumbled on an answer for your question.
