OK. The images give it away. But still: who would have thought?

Tyler Hill, Ford global brand licensing manager: “These new _______ will allow more people to experience the adventurous spirit of a Bronco and the exhilaration of a Mustang from the moment they grip the __________.”

That would be:

• e-bikes
• handlebars

That’s right, a Bronco e-bike and a Mustang e-bike.

These bikes, developed with N+, are not for the causal rider.

Both feature 750-W hub motors that can allow the rider up to 28 mph.

To help stop, there are four-piston hydraulic brakes.

The Bronco bike has a dual-suspension system that is said to allow the bike to handle “any type of terrain,” just like the SUV that inspires it.

The Mustang comes in a special 60^th anniversary model. A little quick math indicates that were someone in 1964 able to afford a Mustang that person would have probably been at least 20 years old, so that person is likely not to be in the intended customer for the e-bike.

And speaking of customers, the Bronco bike has an MSRP of $4,500 and the Mustang $4,000.
