The electric vehicle world covers almost anything with wheels, a motor, and a battery. A bike powered by an electric motor could be extremely useful for college students on campus, for an urban population, and as a companion vehicle for some driving adventures. Ford recently teamed up with N+ to build some electric bikes that will wear two of the most popular Ford nameplates: Bronco and Mustang.

Let’s see what these two new electric bikes have to offer.

The differences in character

The Ford Bronco and Mustang couldn’t be much different from each other, save for the ultimate goal of each vehicle. These two vehicles are made to make driving fun but in different ways. The Bronco is a hardcore off-roader that’s designed and developed to tackle nearly every outdoor trail and obstacle in its path, while the Mustang is made to be a fun and fast muscle car that can tear up the track and leave other cars in the dust. Both vehicles are made to be fun, and Ford has teamed up with N+ to make a bike that fits each vehicle’s individual personality.

Ideal design DNA

Much like the vehicles they are named for, the two electric bikes are made to tackle different areas of biking fun. The Bronco model is a trail-riding mountain bike with an electric motor that is ideal for your fun hill climbs and trail rides while the Mustang has performance and handling on the street in its DNA, giving it the spirit of the iconic pony car.
These two builds make it easy to have a bike that can be a lot of fun wherever you want to take your ride.

What does the Bronco e-bike offer?

The Bronco e-bike has a motorcycle-style seat to make it more comfortable when you hit a bump or ride over some roots in the forest. This bike has a dual suspension system with rims that are wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M hardwall tires that are knobby and made to give you better grip and durability when you take this bike on the wilderness trails that you want to explore. This bike could be the perfect companion to its namesake, giving you a great way to explore trails where the Bronco 4×4 can’t go.

What does the Mustang e-bike offer?

If you want an electric bike that has a sportier look and feel, the Mustang e-bike is the right choice. This model has an aluminum alloy frame and a conventional saddle-style seat that makes it look more like a regular bike. The tires are a set of Pirelli Angel GT semi-slicks that give this bike the perfect riding feel when racing down the streets in your local town. The Mustang e-bike helps celebrate 60 years of the pony car with a 60th Anniversary Edition with vintage decals and available limited numbers to give you something extra special.

What drives these two e-bikes?

Both bikes use the same hub-mounted electric motor that is good for 1 horsepower (yes, only one) and 63 lb-ft of torque. This is more than enough power to allow an average-sized person to enjoy the ride. The top speed of these e-bikes is limited to 28 MPH, and the driving range is 60 miles. The battery pack is a 48-volt 720-Wh battery, which takes 3.5 hours to charge to refresh the batteries.

These bikes also feature a set of four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, a set of bright lights, and an LDC display on the handlebars that shows the speed, range, and battery life to ensure riders know what’s going on with the motor and drive system.

These Ford-branded e-bikes aren’t cheap

You wouldn’t expect an electric bike with Pirelli tires to be cheap, and these e-bikes are not. The Mustang model starts at $4,000, while the Bronco model will cost at least $4,500. Both bikes offer the choice of ten colors, but these choices cost an additional $390 to go away from the standard colors provided.

These new Ford e-bikes should begin delivery later in 2024, giving many shoppers an option of a fantastic companion vehicle or the right electric bike for students to ride around on college campuses.

How will you use your e-bike

Could the Bronco or Mustang e-bike be the right choice for you? If you love to ride around on two wheels but you don’t want to pedal, these bikes give you an enjoyable electric option that bridges the gap between a traditional bicycle and a motorcycle.
