Ford and N+, a forerunner in cycling technology, established a partnership to increase two-wheel innovation.

“We know the passion and thrill that gets unlocked when people get behind the wheel of a Bronco and Mustang. These new eBikes will allow more people to experience the adventurous spirit of a Bronco and the exhilaration of a Mustang from the moment they grip the handlebars.”
–Tyler Hill, Ford global brand licensing manager
Bronco eBike: Potent Durability
The Bronco eBike is designed to reflect the brawny capability of its SUV counterpart and the “Built Ford Tough” philosophy. To that end, the model features a 750 watt hub-mounted motor producing 63 pound-feet of torque. The bike incorporates a G.O.A.T (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) inspired dual suspension system and a motorcycle-style seat for comfort. Essential attributes include:
- Pirelli tires, providing the necessary grip to manage challenging terrain
- Four-piston hydraulic brakes
- Running lights
- Full-color LCD unit mounted on the handlebars used to display range, speed, and battery life
This model accelerates up to 28 miles per hour and offers roughly 60 miles of range on a 3.5-hour charge time. Readers must note, however, that this figure can vary based on external factors such as maintenance and terrain. The starting price tag for the Bronco eBike is $4,500 MSRP (Plus destination fee), with an additional $390 for 10 extra color choices beyond the standard Area 51.
Mustang eBike: A High-Octane Ride
To commemorate the Mustang sports car’s 60th anniversary, the Blue Oval presented two Mustang eBikes, including a limited edition model available only through Ford dealers. These bikes are crafted to mirror the performance-driven design of the Mustang pony car. Each model boasts a 750-watt motor strapped to the rear wheel, generating 63 pound-feet of torque.
Not only that, the bikes also feature Pirelli Angel GT semi-slick tires for optimal handling and speed, four-piston hydraulic brakes for safety, and full-color LCD panels inspired by the Mustang’s driver display. The Mustang eBike has a sticker price of $4,000 MSRP (Plus destination fee). Similar to its Bronco sibling, there is an additional $390 charge for 10 extra color options other than standard Carbonized Gray Metallic. Meanwhile, the limited edition model is available in restricted quantities exclusively through Ford dealers.
