We’ve written previously about car makers branding e-bikes. Now Ford Bronco and Mustang owners can buy branded high-performance e-bikes to match their vehicles. Ford’s global brand licensing division and micromobility company N+ announced Bronco and Mustang e-bikes that are inspired by the Bronco’s all-terrain capabilities and the Mustang’s muscle car performance and sportscar-like handling.
Why build Ford e-bikes
N+ Bikes, which also produces Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG F1 e-bikes, works with automakers passionate about performance vehicles, and Ford is certainly a match.
Ford sees the collaboration as a way to spread the enthusiasm. “We know the passion and thrill that gets unlocked when people get behind the wheel of a Bronco and Mustang,” said Tyler Hill, Ford’s global brand licensing manager.
“These new e-bikes will allow more people to experience the adventurous spirit of a Bronco and the exhilaration of a Mustang from the moment they grip the handlebar,” Hill continued.
The Mustang and Bronco have different defining features but use key performance components. For example, both e-bikes have:
- 750-watt rear hub motors
- 28 mph maximum power-assisted speed
- Up to 60-mile range
- 48V 15Ah battery
- 3.5-hour battery charge time
- 9-speed Shimano Cues gear set and shifter
- Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with four-piston calipers and 203 mm rotors
- Dual-arm rear suspension and dual front fork suspension
- Pirelli tires
- Full-color display integrated into the handlebars
Mustang and Bronco e-bikes are made to order and can be purchased online or at select Ford dealerships.
