Ford has partnered with N plus to launch two new e-bikes inspired by the Bronco and Mustang, two of the automotive brand's most iconic labels. The Bronco e-bike, designed for rugged terrain, features a 750W hub motor with 85 Nm of torque, a dual-suspension system branded 'GOAT' for all-terrain capability, and a motorcycle-inspired saddle. It is a Class 3 e-bike, reaching up to 28 mph, with a 60-mile range and a 3.5-hour full recharge time.
The Mustang e-bikes, including a limited-edition 60th Anniversary model, will offer performance similar to the Bronco e-bike, emulating the handling of the Mustang sports car. The Bronco will have Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M tires, while the Mustang will use Pirelli Angel GT tires.
