Ford<\/a> is leveraging two of its best-known nameplates, Bronco<\/a> and Mustang<\/a>, to enter the electric bike<\/a> segment. It unveiled a range of e-bikes that includes a Mustang-themed model developed for road use and a Bronco-inspired model designed to take riders off the beaten path.<\/p>\n

Like most carmakers that dabble in e-bikes<\/a>, Ford didn’t start from scratch. It enlisted the help of a company called n+ that has previously worked with Mercedes-AMG, among other brands. Using off-the-shelf components saves time and money, so the two models feature the same 750-watt hub-mounted motor that develops 62.5 pound-feet of torque. Ford quotes a top speed of 28 mph and up to 60 miles of range.<\/p>\n

Just to clarify, 28 mph is how fast the motor will take you. You can go faster, but you’ll need to enlist the help of your legs.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re staying on the pavement or going off-road, you’ll need to wait about 3.5 hours for the battery<\/a> pack to charge and you’ll be able to count on four-piston hydraulic brakes<\/a> to slow down. There’s also an LCD screen that looks a lot like a digital instrument cluster. It provides information such as the bike’s speed, the battery’s state of charge and the riding mode selected. It even has an odometer.<\/p>\n

The similarities end there, and each bike stands out with specific styling. Visually, the Bronco<\/a> more closely resembles trial motorcycles<\/a> than the SUV it’s named after. It rides on 27.5-inch Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M hard-wall tires and has what Ford describes as a motorcycle-inspired seat. The Mustang<\/a> model is characterized by a more traditional design, and it ships with Pirelli Angel GT semi-slick tires for on-road use.<\/p>\n

Pricing for the Bronco e-bike starts at $4,500. It comes standard in Area 51, a color<\/a> sourced from the Ford palette, but buyers can choose from 10 additional colors if they pay an extra $390. The Mustang model costs $4,000 and comes standard in Carbonized Gray Metallic. Again, buyers can unlock 10 more paint colors for $390 more. Both bikes are on sale now, and deliveries will start later in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
