Ford E-Bike: The Mustang and Bronco E-Bikes Explained (2026)

The idea of a "Ford e-bike" is nothing new. People have created design concepts for years. But now there really is an official Ford electric bike that is available for sale to the public.

In fact there are three: a Mustang, a Mustang 60th Anniversary Edition and a Bronco. They come in the cars' own paint colours, the Mustang has sequential tail lights like the car, and the Bronco has a motocross seat and a rear end that looks like it belongs on a dirt bike.

They're also American-market bikes with 750W motors and throttles, which matters a great deal if you're reading this in Britain. Here's what they are, who really makes them, what they cost and who can actually buy one. Prices and specs are from the brand's own pages, checked on 10 November 2026.

The quick answers

• Does Ford make an e-bike? Ford licenses its name. The bikes are designed, built and sold by n+, the company behind the Mercedes-AMG F1 e-bikes.
• Which models? The Mustang eBike, the Mustang 60th Anniversary Edition and the Bronco eBike.
• How much? $4,000 for the Mustang and the 60th, $4,500 for the Bronco. Non-standard colours add $390.
• How fast? 28mph with pedal assistance and 20mph on the throttle (US Class 3 and Class 2).
• Range? Up to 60 miles, Ford says.
• Weight? About 68lb, or 31kg.
• Can you buy one in the UK? No. They're sold in the US, Canada and a handful of Gulf states, and they wouldn't be road-legal as e-bikes here anyway.

Does Ford actually make an e-bike?

Not itself. The small print on the Ford eBikes site says the bikes are manufactured and distributed by N Plus North America under licence. n+ is the same outfit that makes the Mercedes-AMG F1 e-bikes, and the two ranges share a lot: the one-piece handlebar with a colour screen, the integrated lights, the smart helmet and the habit of not telling you who makes the motor.

Ford and n+ announced the bikes in August 2024. The 60th Anniversary Edition followed in early 2025, sold at first only through Ford dealers.

It isn't Ford's first go at bicycles. In 2015 it showed a set of electric folding bike concepts called MoDe:Me, MoDe:Pro and MoDe:Flex. The MoDe:Pro was designed to fold into a Transit van and charge on the way to the job. None reached the shops. In 2018 Ford bought the e-scooter company Spin, which it later sold to TIER. The n+ bikes are the first time you've actually been able to buy a bicycle with a Ford badge on it.

Weight	68lb (31kg)	68lb (31kg)	67.75lb (31kg)

All three share a 6061 aluminium frame, a Shimano CUES nine-speed drivetrain, four-piston Tektro hydraulic brakes on 203mm rotors, a 2,000-lumen headlight and a colour display styled after Ford's in-car infotainment screens, with a red start button below it. There are four assist modes. On the Mustang the top one is called Track. On the Bronco it's Baja.

The battery is a 48V, 15Ah (720Wh) pack built into the frame. It doesn't come out, so you charge the bike where you park it. Ford claims up to 60 miles. Electric Bike Report got 55 miles from a Mustang in Eco mode and 48 miles in Track, which is a better result than most claims survive.

Ford Mustang eBike: the one for car people

The Mustang is a full-suspension street bike, which is an unusual thing in itself. Most city e-bikes have a rigid frame or a short fork. This one has 120mm of air suspension at the front and an air shock at the back, so potholes and kerbs barely register, at the cost of weight and complexity.

What makes it a Mustang is the detail. The tail lights are sequential LEDs that sweep outwards like the car's. The running horse is on the head tube. And you can have it in thirteen of the car's paint colours, from Grabber Blue and Race Red to Yellow Splash and Molten Magenta. Carbonized Gray is the standard $4,000 bike; the other twelve cost $4,390.

The Mustang has an 85Nm motor, enough to lift the front wheel if you try. Image: Ford eBikes / n+.

Electric Bike Report liked it a lot. Their complaints were the one-piece handlebar and stem, which can't be adjusted, and the battery that doesn't come out.

Ford Mustang eBike 60th Anniversary Edition: the collector's one

The Mustang turned sixty in 2024, and this is the bicycle version of the birthday cake. It's the same bike underneath as the standard Mustang, finished in Rangoon Red, one of the colours the original 1964½ car launched in. It also gets period badges and decals, a 60th anniversary plaque and chrome-look wheels.

It costs the same $4,000 as a standard grey Mustang, which makes it the better buy if red suits you. Only 500 are being made, and at the time of writing the medium size has sold out on the US site.

Ford Bronco eBike: the one that looks like a dirt bike

The Bronco is the more interesting design. Where the Mustang is a bicycle with car details, the Bronco borrows from motorbikes: a motocross-style rear linkage and trailing arm, a long bench seat instead of a saddle, and 2.6-inch Pirelli Scorpion Enduro tyres. The motor, battery, gears and brakes are the same as the Mustang's.

It comes in fourteen Bronco colours. Area 51 is the standard $4,500 bike; the others, from Eruption Green to Cactus Gray, are $4,890.

Be realistic about what it is. It's a trail bike for fire roads and gentle singletrack, not a mountain bike. Seth Alvo of Berm Peak, who knows his way around a proper mountain bike, flagged the weight, the fixed seat and a laggy throttle. The seat doesn't adjust, the bike comes in one size for riders roughly 5ft 7in to 6ft, and there's no kickstand.

The dash and the smart helmet

Both bikes use the same one-piece bar and stem with a colour screen in the middle and a red start button beneath it, a nod to the push-button start in the cars. It's a lovely piece of design. It's also the part reviewers grumble about most, because you can't change the bar height, reach or shape.

Ford also sells a $400 smart helmet. It has front and rear lights with an ambient light sensor, a Bluetooth app, and a three-axis accelerometer that texts your location to an emergency contact if it detects a crash. It's IP67 waterproof, weighs 440g and is certified to US and European standards, including the Dutch NTA 8776 standard for faster e-bikes. If that appeals, here are seven other smart helmets with Bluetooth.

Electric Bike Report's review of the Mustang:

And Berm Peak Express on the Bronco, with a title that tells you where the internet had got to:

Can you buy a Ford e-bike in the UK?

No. The Ford eBikes store sells to the US, Canada and six Gulf states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE). The product pages say US delivery only, and there's no UK or European option.

Even if you imported one, it wouldn't be road-legal here as an e-bike. A UK e-bike can have a motor of up to 250W, must stop assisting at 15.5mph and can only have a throttle that works up to 4mph. The Ford bikes are 750W, assist to 28mph and have a throttle that goes to 20mph. On a British road that makes them motor vehicles, needing registration, insurance and a licence. The full rules are in which e-bikes are legal in the UK. Spanish and Dutch motoring press have made the same point about the EU rules, which are covered in which e-bikes are legal in Europe.

The Canadian version is limited to 500W and 32km/h, in line with Canada's rules. In the US they're Class 3 bikes. Where you can ride those varies by state; California's rules are a good guide and are in which e-bikes are legal in California.

If you're in the UK and want a car-brand e-bike you can actually ride, the nearest equivalent is the 250W UK version of the Mercedes-AMG F1 e-bike, from the same maker. It's all in my Mercedes e-bike guide.

Is a Ford e-bike worth it?

For the right person, yes. If you've got a Mustang or a Bronco on the drive and want a bike that matches it, nothing else comes close. The paint matching is genuinely thorough, and the spec isn't bad for $4,000: full suspension, a 720Wh battery, four-piston brakes and Pirelli tyres.

But you're paying something for the badge, and there are things to know:

• It's heavy. 68lb is a lot of bike to lift onto a car rack or up a step.
• The motor is a mystery. It's a 750W rear hub with 85Nm, but Ford and n+ don't say who makes it. That matters when you need a repair in five years' time.
• The battery is built in. No taking it inside to charge.
• Parts and accessories. At the time of writing the fenders, bottle cage, charger and replacement tyres all showed as sold out on the Ford store. Some owners' reviews on the store also say a promised free helmet took months to arrive.
• The sceptics. When the bikes launched, Electrek questioned whether a licensing premium on a $4,000 bike was worth paying. Berm Peak's video opens with the internet's verdict that the Bronco is awful, then puts it to the test.

On the plus side, Ford offers a two-year warranty, a 14-day return window, test rides at participating US Ford dealers and 0% finance over 48 months.

My take: the Bronco is the more original design and the more fun bike to look at. The Mustang is the more useful one to own. And the 60th Anniversary in Rangoon Red is the one I'd want hanging in a garage, next to the car.
