If you weren’t happy with Ford when it put the Mustang name on an electric SUV, then you’re really going to hate the latest electric ‘Stang. We’ve got news for Ford Bronco fans, too. Ford, it turns out, sells a line of E-bikes that are themed after some of its most iconic brands. No, there’s no Taurus E-bike commuter, but there is a Mustang with a motor and pedals as well as a Bronco E-bike that claims to share the off-roader’s Goes Over Any Terrain capability.
More Merch Than You Can Ever Imagine

Car companies don’t focus on individual brands just for buyer loyalty. The marketing team will tell you it’s about being authentic, standing for something, and all sorts of other nonsense. Really, it’s about making a brand resonate enough that you’ll buy merch. Ferrari is a shirt company that makes F1 cars, not the other way around.

Still, it might be hard to see a two-wheeled Mustang flying down the bike lane and cutting through crowds. Ford says it’s unmistakably Mustang in its design, but the only things we see in common are the horse badges and the three-slot taillight. Just like the car’s, only there’s just one.
This Mustang makes 750 watts – more than a whole horsepower! – plus whatever you can get out of the pedals. It’ll do 28 mph, and it’ll go 60 miles on a charge. Plus there’s a track mode, because of course there is.

The Bronco bike has the same motor and top speed. The big difference is the dirtbike-like seat and rear geometry. It also has a more Bronco-like taillight than the Mustang. Ford describes the air spring front and coil rear as being GOAT-inspired, a call-out to the real SUV. The Bronco e-bike is available in 14 different Ford colors. The Mustang bike offers 13, and it’ll set you back $4,000 plus paint upcharges, versus $4,500 for the Bronco bike.

Ford has saved the best for the bottom of the list, though. The Lego Technic Bronco, to start. This set lets you build the V6 engine in the Bronco along with the rest of the SUV, and it has Badlands trim decals on the side.
