Ford’s Electric Stallions: The Mustang & Bronco E-Bikes
E-bikes have been around for a while, but until now, they never really caught my attention. That changed when Ford partnered with N+ to develop two stunning models inspired by the legendary Mustang and Bronco. With their bold designs, impressive performance specs, and a price tag that doesn’t veer into the outrageous territory, these new e-bikes are a game-changer for both urban commuters and off-road adventurers alike.
A Partnership Built for Performance
Ford’s collaboration with N+ brings serious cycling technology into the mix, resulting in two e-bikes that honor their automotive counterparts. The Mustang e-bike is designed for commuters who crave a blend of speed and style, while the Bronco e-bike is an off-road warrior built to dominate the trails. These aren’t just e-bikes with Ford branding slapped on them—they are engineered to embody the spirit of the Mustang and Bronco in two-wheeled form.
Mustang E-Bike: A Tribute to 60 Years of Performance
The Mustang e-bike isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about doing so with power, precision, and style. Launched to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Mustang, this sleek ride is available in a limited-edition Mustang 60th Anniversary Edition exclusively at Ford dealerships.
Under the hood—or rather, the frame—this e-bike boasts a 750W rear-wheel hub motor, delivering an impressive 63 lb-ft of torque. With four power modes and a top assisted speed of 28 mph, it ensures a thrilling yet efficient ride. The 720W battery offers a range of up to 60 miles on a single charge, and the entire system recharges in just 3.5 hours.
When it comes to stopping power, Ford didn’t cut corners. The Mustang e-bike features Tektro four-piston hydraulic calipers gripping 203mm rotors, ensuring reliable braking performance. The suspension system provides smooth dampening, and the Pirelli Angel GT semi-slick tires enhance handling on asphalt.
A full-color LCD display, inspired by the Mustang’s driver interface, keeps riders informed of speed, battery life, and range in real time. With a starting price of $4,000, plus an optional $390 for additional color choices beyond the standard Carbonized Gray Metallic, this e-bike is as much a performance machine as it is a collector’s item.
Bronco E-Bike: Trail-Ready and Built for Adventure
If the Mustang e-bike is the embodiment of sleek speed, the Bronco e-bike is its rugged, trail-conquering counterpart. While it shares many of the same performance specs as the Mustang, it takes things up a notch with a design geared toward off-road dominance.
Right away, you’ll notice the motocross-style seat—clear evidence that this e-bike was made for the trails. Heavy-duty suspension, a motocross-style rear linkage, and a durable trail arm ensure it can tackle rough terrain with ease. The Bronco e-bike rides on robust Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M hardwall 27.5" x 2.6" tires, providing exceptional grip and stability over loose or uneven surfaces.
Like the Mustang e-bike, the Bronco features a powerful 750W motor and a top assisted speed of 28 mph, backed by a 720W battery with a 60-mile range. With its reinforced frame and specialized components, the Bronco e-bike is built for serious off-road adventures. Pricing starts at $4,500, and for an additional $4,500, you can customize it with 10 alternative colors beyond the standard Area 51.
Why These E-Bikes Are a Big Deal
E-bikes can sometimes feel like an expensive gimmick, especially when you look at some of the more outlandish offerings on the market. Take McLaren’s e-bikes, for instance—while undeniably impressive in engineering, their $11,950 price tag and excessive torque figures felt impractical. Even the base model started at $7,950, making them difficult to justify.
In contrast, Ford and N+ have struck the perfect balance between performance, design, and affordability. The Mustang and Bronco e-bikes aren’t just electrified two-wheelers with a famous badge—they’re legitimate performance machines that offer a compelling mix of power, range, and style.
At first glance, I never expected to give an e-bike much thought. But the Ford Mustang and Bronco e-bikes changed that. They’re stylish, powerful, and well-priced compared to some of the more extreme options out there. Whether you’re looking for an exhilarating commuter bike or a rugged trail machine, these new Ford e-bikes check all the right boxes. For the first time, I can confidently say I’ve found an e-bike that I actually want to ride.
