Ford launches the Mustang and Bronco ebikes

Ford joins the car brands that already have e-bike models
We don't know if it's just a trend or a real commitment from cycling brands to sustainable mobility, but more and more car brands are including electric bikes in their product offerings. The latest to do so is Ford, which with its two new models joins brands like Mercedes or Porsche.
Ford has developed both bikes in collaboration with the cycling technology specialist N+, the same brand that worked with Mercedes to create their AMG F1 bike. Both Ford bikes adopt the same name as two of their famous cars: Bronco, which emulates the brand's off-road vehicle with a double MTB suspension; and Mustang, an urban bike that also features double suspension.

Both models, Mustang and Bronco, are developed under the GOATT concept, which in this case stands for Goes Over Any Type of Terrain. To achieve this premise, both bikes start with a robust 6061 aluminum frame housing a huge 720 Wh battery that provides about 96 kilometers of autonomy.
Here the similarities end. The Bronco features a coil shock and has a unique saddle design that emulates motocross bikes, as well as wide mountain bike tires, Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M, and 4-piston brakes.
On the other hand, the Mustang opts for an air shock and its wheels are fitted with semi-slick Pirelli Angel GT tires.
Both bikes feature an integrated LCD panel on the handlebars as a cycle computer to provide all information related to the assistance system such as battery level or selected assistance mode. These bikes will have an approximate price of €3,600 for the Mustang and around €4,100 for the Bronco.
